WaffleHouseTour Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Goal for the month: find a fitter in my area that has both Cobra SZ , Extreme, and Ping 410 SFT, and is willing to try at a shorter shaft in the fitting process and adding weight to the head. Is that too much to expect? Haven’t found one yet, but I’m on the hunt.

PAgolfer2017 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Really toying around with the idea of a GPS still and just came across some reviews for the Garmin z82. It costs a lot but the golf nerd in me is intrigued! My only other option was the sx500.

heavygolffeels Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Considering adding another hybrid to the bag, especially after watching one of the recent TXG episodes. Would be dropping a 23* 4 iron for a similar lofted hybrid. Probably not something I would use off the tee much, but could add some height and stopping power to longer approach shots.

knightsofnii Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 thinking about a utility iron. I'm liking the idea of the adjustable Cobra King Utility, in the 3/4i loft. I bagged a 4i after a couple decent range sessions with it. It's a lot straighter than my hybrid, and i'm accepting the greater loss of distance on mishits vs the spray of the hybrid. I think maybe a more SGI type 4i or a utility iron might have a little more forgiveness. Quote RADspeed 10.5, Evenflow Riptide CB 6.0s Bio Cell 3/4w, PXV 6.0s; AMP 3h 19deg Aldila RIP R.

juspoole Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Thinking about a putter change. I really like the feel of my Pro Platinum, but looking at stats - I'm just not putting well with it. It really is me in this case as I've been struggling with the hate to say the word, but "yips". They come and go, but mostly have been with me and have taken some confidence with it. I was hitting a lot of putts in the basement and thought I got the stroke handled, but it's not true. On the practice green - I can get to a decent level, but they'll show up at some point in a round still. Considering a Bettinardi Inovai 6.0 or a Scotty 7M to assist with alignment and still provide some wonderful feel. Both are a bit too costly for me to justify at this point, but if I can find one at a good enough price - I may just try something new for a bit. It really can't get much worse than 38 putts in a round.

I'm a feel player, especially with putter, and I have only had maybe 5 putters in nearly 30 years. The putter only feels good to me when it performs; that is, makes the ball go where I want at the speed I want. It's strange that I can pick up a putter at a store and roll some putts. Takes only 3-4 putts to tell if it feels good. The best feel for a putter will come from one that is fitted for you, and it should perform the best. I was fitted at Ping, and I don't even look at other putters anymore.

It's not just that the grip itself is different (very square or rectangular depending which model), but also the moveable counterweights that can be moved up and down and the ability to go up or down in weight. I love the feel of the 20 gram weight under the right hand. juspoole 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also have feel from a feedback perspective; which we know is largely sound. With a putter I can say that the stroke feels good and I get good performance but I don’t like the way the ball feels at impact.

ED13 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Had a fitting this week for new irons and ordered Taylormade 790’s. Set another fitting for end of July for a hybrid. There has always been a large gap between 5i and 5w I need to fill. The plan is to play with the new irons for 2-3 weeks to get a better handle on possible new carry distances. Always had a hard time getting good ball flight with a hybrid but as my swing has been slowly getting better I was hoping one would work for me. Asked if I could try one, hit the new SIM which was easy to get in the air and hit straight. Looking forward to find a club that fits my gap.

dlow206 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hear me out on this one. Square drivers were the rage for a very short period of time 10 years ago. You have to put a really poor swing on one for the ball to not go straight. However, the problem with them is losing yardage due to trajectory being too high and spin being too high. What if you put in a modern low spin low launch shaft in a square driver? If I can knock off about 500 rpm of spin on it, to me it sounds like it has potential. I have a Callaway FTi and a Nike Sumo2 5900 sitting in the garage, so this may be an experiment I try. Though I will still get funny looks from others on the range with people looking around for the person hitting balls with an aluminum baseball bat...

I would argue they were not "the rage" but more a gimmick that never got off the ground. Worst - sounding - drivers - ever. I remember my first time hearing one walking into a golf store and honestly thought someone had hit a ball into the store and broke something. IF there were a design advantage, you can be assured OEM engineers would have continued to fine tune and explore their options. I am guessing of you follow thru on your experiment, there is a chance I will hear it all the way in Chicago. dlow206, revkev, sirchunksalot and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Rickp Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 ... I would argue they were not "the rage" but more a gimmick that never got off the ground. Worst - sounding - drivers - ever. I remember my first time hearing one walking into a golf store and honestly thought someone had hit a ball into the store and broke something. IF there were a design advantage, you can be assured OEM engineers would have continued to fine tune and explore their options. I am guessing of you follow thru on your experiment, there is a chance I will hear it all the way in Chicago. I’m sure I’ll hear it in FL!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy sirchunksalot 1 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy BOS Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Had a fitting this week for new irons and ordered Taylormade 790’s. Set another fitting for end of July for a hybrid. There has always been a large gap between 5i and 5w I need to fill. The plan is to play with the new irons for 2-3 weeks to get a better handle on possible new carry distances. Always had a hard time getting good ball flight with a hybrid but as my swing has been slowly getting better I was hoping one would work for me. Asked if I could try one, hit the new SIM which was easy to get in the air and hit straight. Looking forward to find a club that fits my gap.Nice pick! [mention]Lacassem [/mention] just got the p790s this year and from the few swings I took they look sound and feel great.
