SPY ZINGER's WITB

[whiskey golf]

That's a very nice setup, those Recoil shafts are great looking.

[SPY ZINGER]

Thanks guys, I hope they play as good as they look.

 

I keep staring at that PING headcover...anyone hit the XHOT HB's yet?

Yes! You'll like em- similar looks to your hybrids! Face is HOT and they're stupid forgiving.

 

I have a 16* pro with a rip- had a di shaft in there, not a good fit for me. Also had an 18 and a 20 with di's- didn't like the lofts for my set makeup.

 

The 16* with the rip may have a shot to knock out the 16* peanut with infra I've been playing for damn near 6 years.

Nice! Yes, and I see the Fubuki is offered at no upcharge as well. Might have to give it a shot.

I had a guy pm me on wrx about them little while back- he ordered one with a fubuki and was stoked! they offer up some pretty solid n/c shaft options and iirc others can be had a decent prices as well.

Here's to hoping we get to play golf this season in Minnesota! More snow in the forecast for tonight!

 

Great looking set! Frank is pure class and a master at club work!

First round of the year in with the Prototypes yesterday. Lots of early season rust to shake off, but initial impressions...These shafts are all UST Describes them to be with respect to tightening dispersion. Shots (the decent ones at least) were laser straight. I am also about a club longer but I am also playing these in the X-Hot pros, so I am guessing that has a lot to do with it. The feeling of these are so smooth. Although I do not have any injuries or issues with the upper body (other than extremely solid pectoral muscles, so apparel can be an issue) I can imagine that a switch to these would really dampen shock feedback. The most surprising aspect is no doubt, the feel. They feel like pure silk, very smooth for a 125g shaft. First iron shafts that I have played that could really have a real and true impact on lowering a handicap, with better accuracy into greens. I have never been excited about iron shafts until these. Mostly because, even as an 11 HDCP, there is a real and tangible difference you can immediately see/feel when putting these into play.

 

Oh...The ATTAS in the X-Hot...

 

[The Artful Duffer]

Hey Zinger, I know it's early in the season but how'd the X-Hot fairway treat you? I'm toying with the idea of the xhot or the fit extreme 3 wood and would love whatever feedback you could give. And did you play the chrome +? If so how were they?

My sincere apologizes, but I have not hit the X-Hot FW outdoors yet, and was trying to use up a couple old IZ's the first time out. Give me a week or so!

[SPY ZINGER]

Arrived today! Build was absolutely perfect, EXCEPT, the swingweight. This is an area Callaway can never seem to get right for me. Ordered D4, arrived D1.

I just wanted to give a little update on the RECOILs and XHOT Pros to see if you have any feedback.

 

Overall, this combination is extremely easy to hit. Forgiving, and easy to look down upon. The only negatives that I see are: 1. This combination flies about a club longer than all of my previous sets. Not the end of the world, but I am a guy that is resistant to change. 2. No matter where you hit the ball on the face, it feels like a pure crisp shot. I believe this is a combination of the forgiving irons combined with the dampening effect of the shafts as well. Again, not the end of the world, but a feel I am just no used to. 3. They fly higher too, which with the distance gain, is not a bad thing at all.

[SPY ZINGER]

Sit down for a moment. I have become a single digit as of today!

Congrats Zinger!

 

Sweet gear too! Where are the JP Wedges though??

I have three JP wedges, and no longer hit them.

One of them is a true prototype and was built in person: http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/4282-james-patrick-golf/page__view__findpost__p__46061

They'll never see the sunshine again. Best wedges in the game.

:ph34r:

[Rickles]

A couple things:

 

1. Congrats on the single digit. That's a big milestone. Now it's time to work towards a + handicap.

 

2. Why would you not play the JP wedges if they are the best ever? Are you just going to display them?

Thanks, I appreciate it...I was off this past week, and shot a couple 83's and was on sub 80 watch until 17 each day. Then, a 94/92 mixed in as well, so I am still capable of disaster. I wont have time in the next 12 years to dedicate myself to even come close to a plus. In fact, this is the lowest it's ever been, and unsustainable. I just don't have the time.

 

Your second question is a very good one. There are some guys that simply park a car, wipe it with a cloth diaper, and look at it. What's the point of an equipment purchase if you're not going to use it? If it's the best, why aren't you playing it? Look Zinger, you're an asshat, just play the wedges they are not doing you any good locked in a vault. Hey sideburns, you're a joke, just play them. Zinger, take some low T supplements you boob. I get it, I do. But at the same time, I am a complicated guy. As I have said before, and tell my wife almost daily, you don't have to understand it, you just have to accept it.

Less time working on the pecs and more time working on the short game. But seriously Zinger, The way you take working out seriously and with the time you put into blogging you could get better and put the time in. You strike me as the kind of guy who can do anything you put your mind to.

[Rickles]

Oh yeah, if you need more time to work on your game have the clothing companies send me all the sweet swag and I'll write some reviews so you can work on your game;)

[SPY ZINGER]

Thanks Rickles, I appreciate it. Agreed, you can find time for almost anything, if you make some cuts. Much of the writing I do, and working out for that matter, comes late at night, or at least when the kids are asleep. Other comments (like this one) or forum reading come via the iPhone whenever I get a minute. In fact, I am coming to you live, right from the Zinger Tempurpedic. I suppose I could just roll over a run my fingers through my wife's hair, but I'm making the choice to have a discussion with you instead. One I do not regret either!

 

I'll take your advice though, and give myself some more time for practice. Points well taken.

[SPY ZINGER]

Thanks, had a chance to hit the R1 on a Flight Scope today.

 

Any advice on these numbers?

Some sage advice right here!

 

You're right though, that is one of my biggest faults on course right now is aim.

[MmmmmmBuddy]

You gotta get that spin down.. at least another 600 rpm. Then tune that thing a little left.. Or get a Callaway Driver.
