TESTERS WANTED! ×

What equipment are you thinking about?


null

Recommended Posts

Well I moved to Texas last April and realized my currents shafts flighted the ball too high. Additionally, since I retired I am playing at least four times a week and my swing and speed has increased. Result: I was overloading the shafts at times. So, my birthday is coming up and when asked what I wanted……New irons! I could have just reshafted, but go for the gold! My wife agreed and boom I was on the phone that night with PXG getting my new clubs. They have my specs and I am in the hero’s program so ordering was a breeze. I know have Gen5 P irons with TT dynamic gold S300 120 shafts. I also upgraded my wedges and they came with the American Flag on the back of them! Night and day. First round was even par and second round was 2 under. Not bad for a 7 handicap! Now how to ask for a new putter…….

Play like a champion today!

Other than my putter, my 3 wood is the oldest club in my bag. I have the Gen 1 Taylormade M1...Granted it is not the oldest thing in the world, and still works OK for my current swing...BUT, a few months ago I was adjusting the weights in the bottom and a sliver of metal came off of it...Try as I might I was not able to determine where that little sliver came from. Sadly I have been injured a lot since then and have only palyed once, but i didn't notice anything else falling off of it...

That said, when things start to fall off, probably best to start looking for something new. So my goal is to buy a new 3wood by the end of the year (probably sooner than later provided I manage to find some clubs to test). Right now I have on my wish list to try the Titleist TSR2 & 3, the Ping G430, the stealth 2, and the Cobra Aerojet.

Now you are talking gibberish.  I think Rob has multiple storage units across the county for his clubs.  haha.

that makes 2 of us. Looking at pics of the Mizuno 225’s LE and Cobra Forged Tec black, I actually think I prefer the almost grey/matte Cobras. I love black irons but the glossy look always worries me with wear.

I had Ping G710’s for a few years and they wore pretty good.  Kind of sorry I sold them.

All you traditionalist don't get ya panties in a wad when I say I'm thinking of yet another SGI type iron. Hell I'm 72 years old, lost some swing speed and love forgiveness in my irons.  I don't give a rats arse about beautiful irons that are only good for making my bag look hawt. I want something I can kick butt on the golf course with.  Irons that will make this unpredictable game more enjoyable and  keep my cussing down to a minimum. Soooooo I have the new 2023 Taylormade Stealth HD irons on my radar.  I haven't bagged a set of Taylormade irons since the RBZ model that I tested for another forum.  That's been quite a few years back.  I'll be scheduling a fitting in the near future so we'll see how that shakes out.

Wish I could post in this thread, but as my wife and I now budgeting for a home addition in the next 24 months, so golf club purchases are completely out of the question.

Otherwise the G430 LST driver would be at the top of my list, followed by graphite iron shafts (and probably new Mizuno heads), new vokeys, and a new titleist hybrid.

But now I just get to watch others by new shiny stuff 🙃

There are SO many intriguing irons being release this year... I don't even know where to start my testing.  I had pretty much committed to testing out the Mizuno JPX923 Hot Metal Pro, but the Forged and Tours are just so pretty looking!!. 

The newly announced Titleist Blacks (irons and wedges).... oh my. 

There is something about that Callaway Paradigm iron that makes me want to hit it.  I know it will be a little different feel than any Mizuno I test, but maybe not in a bad way.  

As far a TaylorMade... I REALLY like my game with the the Stealth Irons so it will have to be a pretty immediate "love" reaction for me to take them out of my daily bag.  That said... the P7MC's are gorgeous.  

Then there are the ZX MkII's from Srixon.  

I mean seriously... how can one person choose???  

I feel your pain, information and product overload...

... Where and when I got the panties should occupy your lack of curiosity but suffice it to say when getting dressed in the dark (think You're So Vain) it is easy to mistake undergarments when you hear the key in the front door and you have but a few seconds to get out the back.
