Justin66 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I recently had a dumb@ss attack and destroyed my beloved WH XG #7. It wasn't in anger, it was a decent amount of both stupidity and a moving vehicle. My wife, though, came to the rescue: she was going to surprise me with a new putter for Christmas, any way! She asked me what I wanted and I suggested either the Yes! Sophia or WH XG #9. I ended up with the #9. It's really a nice club. I actually like the toe balancing. The did rework the face, though... they're using the White Ice face now, with the XG insert (the red plastic behind the face cover). Anyways, I got the club and "reworked" it. I ditched the stock grip for another. Here's the pics: I don't believe in that "minus ion" stuff the Iomics sell. I had a Trion-Z when it first came out and never felt any different. It reminds me of a Ping grip. Really dig the color, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J/K Here's an exchange between my father-in-law and I one day last year: FIN: D@mn lefties... just doesn't look right. Me: Yeah, but I did it "right", I'd be aiming right at you! FIN: You know... that's a good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skihippy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Your a lucky guy.. I know my wife wouldn't just go out and by me a putter. I would like to ask you how the Iomic putter grip is? soft, hard, any kind of feel in it?

Dave Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 They're nice putters aren't they. I have one ..somewhere. The Iomic is a nice look as well, I must get round to trying one out one day. The h/c's came out sweet didnt they. I have a revolving WITB policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin66 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Your a lucky guy.. I know my wife wouldn't just go out and by me a putter. I would like to ask you how the Iomic putter grip is? soft, hard, any kind of feel in it? You're right- I am lucky. I know it helped because it was Christmas time, but still, to think of that of her own accord was too sweet for words. They're nice putters aren't they. I have one ..somewhere. The Iomic is a nice look as well, I must get round to trying one out one day. The h/c's came out sweet didnt they. As for the grip, it feels similar to a Ping (the one that Tiger uses; blanking on the name of it right now), only a little thicker. I'd say it dampens vibrations- not absorbs; I can tell a difference between the Iomic and the stock grip in that regard. Just holding on to it I thought it was lighter than the stock XG grip, but it was a shade over 10g heavier... yeah, I was surprised by that. I'm not sold on the "minus ion" stuff, but the grip looks sleek and the color is bright. Even better, I paid about $8 less for it off Ebay than what Golfsmith is currently selling it for! Dave, yes! That cover looks exactly like the prototype pics they had earlier- to me, that is really cool. I told GSX that I've never been excited about a headcover before until this one. There wasn't even any loose stitching anywhere inside the cover... I kind of expect that- I file it under "manufacturing tolerances"- but there wasn't any. Anyone that doesn't have a MGS putter cover yet- get one! They are worth every penny. Hopefully the mallet version will be coming soon for those that have the bigger headed putters.
