TBT Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I really want a new set of irons, but I'm on the fence as to which ones. I played 18 holes today and took a demo Steelhead XR 7 iron, Apex CF 16 8 iron and an AP1 9 iron with me, it seemed like I hit better shots with the Steelhead XR but they all had different shafts so it's hard to tell. I need to go get a full fitting ole gray and cksurfdude 2 Quote XR Driver Matrix Ozik 8m3 Black Tie Shaft King F7 3W UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 7F4 Shaft King F7 5W UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 7F4 Shaft King F7 4 Hybrid Graphite Designs Tour AD-HY 95 Shaft PXG 0211 DC 5-PW Mitsubishi MMT 80 Shafts RTX ZIPCORE 50*,54*,58* UST Mamiya Recoil 95 Shafts Metal X Milled #7 with SuperStroke 2.0 grip MTB Twitter: @timldotson Instagram: timldotson Facebook: TimDotson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboyjs Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Couple items I'm looking at right now. New bag, my stand bag just broke so need to get a new one to replace. Not sure if I get a stand bag again or a cart bag. Been looking at the lists of bags MGS reviewed. Second item is a TM Black Spider Tour putter DJ version.

null Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 MIzuno 900 Tour Irons. After hitting the demo 6 iron with my shaft in them at the range outside today, I cannot wait to get the full set and put them through their full paces. The ball flight I was seeing with the 6 iron was astounding. yungkory, Golfspy_CG2 and cnosil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWahoo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I spent a lot of time at the Quicken Loans tournament last week. I noticed that a significant number of the pros were wearing the Footjoy Pro SL golf shoe. Since I haven't purchase a new pair a golf shoes in years, I may break down and buy a pair. Anyone using them, what do ya think? I also noticed that several pros appear to have soft spikes on their shoes, but when they walked on pavement they made the old familiar clicking sound. Is there some sort of acceptable hybrid shoe spike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zylem Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I know y'all are probably tired of hearing me talk about needing new irons but every time I get ready to pull the trigger something new is announced or there's a repair needed. I had a chance to hit the JPX 900 tours and forged the other day. I have to say I loved to looks of the tours at address and when you catch them on the screws they felt like a hot knife through butter. That being said the results the forged irons produced beat out the tours for my game. Both were tested with Project X LZ 6.0 shafts. I'll definitely be keeping these on a short list and make up my mind once I swing the new AP2s along with a few others. I am also interested in the new Ping G400s. While there is some concern about the stopping power of these irons due to the lower spin I have to say they look great and with the numbers they are putting out it would be worth testing these while I am in the market for new sticks. I am at the point in my game where if I can sneak some forgiveness in my irons at the sacrifice of some control that's fine. Below is a picture of my current AP2 5, 7, and PW. Just to show y'all I am not crazy saying I need a new set of clubs lol. As always I'll keep you all up to date as I try new clubs. If there's enough interest, maybe I could make a thread and treat it like a blog since I plan on demoing a lot of irons.

Even the Mrs. has given me her blessing just need to figure out what I like and what suits my game the best. I think I am going to test Callaway irons next. There's a demo day coming up a friend told me about so that will be a great opportunity to see their product line. And if any fellow spy's have any recommendations please let me know I am open to any suggestions. I know I'll need a stiff staff maybe even extra stiff.

I'd hate to pay more than I should because the word "Scotty" is on the grip... if you know what I mean; Anyone have a grip that they really like? Been told in my fitting last week that a large SuperStroke/FlatCat type grip would not be good for me due to my strong arc stroke.
