I saw the Black Titleist irons in the wild a short time ago and they are awesome.

I have been wanting to change my wedge setup. Bought my last set before I was older and wiser and wish I had not gone for a specialty gap wedge instead of a set wedge. I have wanted to grab a 50/54/58 set up as I tend to like to play lower rolling shots, and hit few full shots with my wedges. Alas I am yet to pull the trigger. One of these days I will, maybe go with Hogan or Sub70 to soften the blow.

I just received a text from an anonymous source, not Cobra...about a new line coming out....that would be surprising!

Heard the new driver line is the "Cobra RAD" and "RAD" has to do with radial weighting.

I have a set of 52, 56, 60 equalizers from a test two years ago if you want to give them a shot I'd like to keep them in the MGS family and get someone to use them since I am not.

I have been looking at the equalizers and they look really great. I would be interested for sure. I will send you a PM to learn more about them. Thanks so much for reaching out with theses.

I feel you on that, I'm constantly thinking about what I might need to help me play better or at least to help me look like I know how to play.

My work just moved to a new location earlier in the year, we have not been allowed to go there yet, there is a rumor that aside from a massive fitness center, there is a golf simulator there too.

So fingers crossed to when we go back working at the office.

Planning on a putter purchase this winter. I was "fit" for a 33" Spider Tour Red two years ago, played with it all of 2019 and then club-ho'ed a 33" navy Spider X from  @yungkoryfor this season. Just sold the Spider Tour Red, and the X still has some good value, so I could flip that to help with funding.

Looking at some of the more "boutique" brands like Edel or L.A.B. Directed Force, but would be game to take a look at Bettenardi, Evnroll, etc. The torque balancing of Edel and Directed Force intrigues me. Biggest issue is going for a fitting. With COVID-related work restrictions I can't travel out of state (I think True Spec in Chicago would have been my choice of fitters), so that leaves me locally with Club Champion. I'm not really keen to go spend $100 at CC given some of the reviews. It does appear one of the local shops is a L.A.B. fitter, and I could always travel to the east side of the state where there is an independent Edel fitter plus a few other really good independent fitters.

And then there's cost - a fully decked out Directed Force would run like $700 (assuming upgraded shaft to LAGP or BGT Stability). Not sure that a $700 putter is going to make that big of a difference in my game. I've just been horrific on the greens this year, and I'm really starting to feel like that is holding me back from shooting in the 70s more often. Far too many rounds with 35+ putts, and there are often several misses inside of five feet in a given round (more important than the total putts).

(Yes, I know the DF putters are ugly. If it sinks more putts, I don't care.)

LAB has good deals on ebay for factory seconds. Just about waiting until they have the right length/lie angle available on ebay.

I have a 33" Betti Studio Stock 3 that has only been rolled indoors that I haven't put up for sale yet, but willing to part with.

LAB has good deals on ebay for factory seconds. Just about waiting until they have the right length/lie angle available on ebay.

I have a 33" Betti Studio Stock 3 that has only been rolled indoors that I haven't put up for sale yet, but willing to part with.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I reached out to the local L.A.B. fitter and they do fittings for free. I think what I'd like to do is a fitting with them, and then the remote fitting with the L.A.B. folks themselves to see how they match up. If I like the putter and the fitting specs match up, I'll probably end up placing the order through the local fitter so that they get some cash for their time. (They also told me they have two in stock at the moment and on sale, so maybe I'll get lucky.)

I've got a Cobra F9 7 wood and an Evenflow Blue 75g shaft sitting in my Rockbottom cart. Very tempted, but not sure I can justify it. I'd need to pay for the shaft to be installed which drives the cost up a bit.

Planning on a putter purchase this winter. I was "fit" for a 33" Spider Tour Red two years ago, played with it all of 2019 and then club-ho'ed a 33" navy Spider X from  @yungkoryfor this season. Just sold the Spider Tour Red, and the X still has some good value, so I could flip that to help with funding.

Looking at some of the more "boutique" brands like Edel or L.A.B. Directed Force, but would be game to take a look at Bettenardi, Evnroll, etc. The torque balancing of Edel and Directed Force intrigues me. Biggest issue is going for a fitting. With COVID-related work restrictions I can't travel out of state (I think True Spec in Chicago would have been my choice of fitters), so that leaves me locally with Club Champion. I'm not really keen to go spend $100 at CC given some of the reviews. It does appear one of the local shops is a L.A.B. fitter, and I could always travel to the east side of the state where there is an independent Edel fitter plus a few other really good independent fitters.

And then there's cost - a fully decked out Directed Force would run like $700 (assuming upgraded shaft to LAGP or BGT Stability). Not sure that a $700 putter is going to make that big of a difference in my game. I've just been horrific on the greens this year, and I'm really starting to feel like that is holding me back from shooting in the 70s more often. Far too many rounds with 35+ putts, and there are often several misses inside of five feet in a given round (more important than the total putts).

(Yes, I know the DF putters are ugly. If it sinks more putts, I don't care.)

$700 for a putter that is fit for you and might last a decade is well worth it IMO. That averages out to $70 a year 🙂

Also when the rest of your bag was "externally financed" then shoot for the mf'in MOON! You'll still be in black figures financially haha.

I scheduled a fitting for Saturday. 🤣

I'm thinking all black with the Stability Tour shaft.

really need a putting mat. thinking hard about wellputt. birdie ball would probably be more fun but I have a feeling wellputt would be a better learning tool.
