True temper dynamic gold S400 steel shaft. It’s barely used and it’s super cheap. I’ve always wanted to try a driving iron but always figured I’d get one with a graphite shaft. Has anyone hit the U510 before? That sounds like a great deal. I'm a big fan of the U510. One of my best friends has one and I've been able to just grab it out of his bag and hit it pretty flush. I'd probably buy one of my own if I didn't play with him so frequently. cksurfdude and Swood1994 2 Quote Honma XP-1s, Rad Speed, and my trusty Scotty Cameron Triple Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly they only had the VR 8S shaft with a Titleist Driver tip, no hybrid tips, so I bought some mine Vokeys instead. I took your advice and bought a Forges Vokey 56 only available in Asia.

Mitch H Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have to tell you I purchased one piece of equipment middle of last year and it has been a game changer for me. It is a LAB Mezz1 putter. Once you learn to lighten your grip and once aligned all you worry about is pace and distance, this putter is awesome. Not cheap, but a club I use for 28-36 shots per round. I am a 13.2 handicap and using Arccoss, as compared to a 10 handicap, I am now gaining strokes on my putting. cksurfdude and GolfSpy_BEN 2 Quote Mitchell Heller All lefty Taylormade Stealth Plus - KBS TD 50 gram Regular flex.

Jim Shaw Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 as you probably are aware there are 5 "spy's" testing the Tacomo irons, probably within the next month or so, might be some good insight for you. The muscle back irons I am testing have had some great reviews, compared to Mizuno and Miura (both Japanese built irons) so I think you are looking in the correct direction... cksurfdude, cnosil and KC Golf 3 Quote committed to performance excellence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonytird Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I’m 67 years old and was a 1 hdcp until about 3 years ago. Now a 4 hdcp. Over the last 20 years, I’ve bought about 6 different iron sets and drivers thinking I could improve. There really isn’t much difference from 1 driver to the next. Shafts have a bigger influence than the driver head. Most important thing about the driver head is looks. Same goes for irons when you are comparing within the same categories such as player irons, game improvement, etc. As far as putters, it’s all about helping you Kuhn up to the line you see. So, no, I’m not looking for new equipment anymore. Too old to change. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy cksurfdude and sharkfest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackS Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Did a ball fitting at golf galaxy today. Settled between the Calloway chrome soft x and the Maxfli tour. Had very little difference between them on a 7 iron but driver the Calloway surprisingly was as a few degrees lower launch and a 200 to 300 less rpm. The Maxfli was not to high launch/spin but with being windy is a a regular thing here like the little lower flight. Also my main worry with the Maxfli is it doesn’t have a great wind score in ballnamic. But the Calloway I am not a fan of the ball lab scores especially when having to pay $10 more. I am even intrigued by the chrome soft x ls despite being maybe a little low spin for ideal with no wind but I almost never get that and if I miss it a little I tend to balloon it in the wind and it could help. richk9holes 1 Quote WITB: Driver: Titleist TSR3 with TPT Nitro 15Hi 5 wood: Calloway Paradym Triple Diamond with TPT Power 15Lo Driving Iron: Tour Edge Exotics EXS Ti-Utility Hybrid: PXG 0317X Gen2 hybrid with TPT Power 15Lo Irons: Takomo 101T with Nippon Modus 120 shafts Wedges: Celveland RTX4 50 Degree, Calloway Jaws Raw 58 degree Z grind and 54 degree S grind Putter: Edel EAS 4.0 Ball: Srixon Z Star Diamond / Z Star XV Official 2024 TPT Shaft Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've posted about these in the Maltby thread but these buggers are in my dreams and my subconscious until they show up on my porch Monday.
