Javs Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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…….

The 19th Hole Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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. cksurfdude and Lacassem 2 Quote Driver: TSi4 8* w/ Tensei AV Raw White 65gr X shaft set to D-1 Hosel 3 wood: M1 13.5* Head set open w/ Fade bias weights.

ole gray Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 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.
