Popular Post wwaldo Posted February 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2020 So sitting here in NW PA watching it snow outside, drinking a little Buffalo Trace, I might as well spell out my equipment for 2020. I'm not going to spec out each individual club but just a basic coverage of what I have and have on the way. 1. All clubs are Regular Flex. 2. Driver is a Ping G400 Max. I play 9 degrees. 3. 3 Wood is a Ping G400 Stretch. Love this Club. 4. 2 Hybrids. A Ping G400 3i and a Cleveland 2009 Launcher 4i that I cannot, no matter how hard I try ever hit a bad shot with. This launcher is consistently 210 yards from just about anywhere. Whenever I have a bad lie in the rough or wherever, this is the club I go to..I know...makes no sense but it works. 5. Irons - Ping G700 5i-9i, PW, GW, SW, and I have a Gide 58 degree Eye Sole Lob Wedge that I love. I have a Ping Glide 3 60 degree Standard Sole on order to replace the Glide but we'll see...like the Hybrid Launcher, the 58 degree Glide is a can't miss club. All of the G700s are Green Dot. 6. Grips. I have used the Golf Pride CP2 Wrap Midsize grips the last 2 years and really like them. Prior to that I had used Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G Midsize for about 15 years and loved those. Note: 3 years ago, I was having consistency problems off the tee quite often so I decided to try Step Tees. They have worked wonders for the Driver. I bought the JP Lan 3 1/4" wooden Step tees off Amazon. A little expensive, about $8 for 100 and they usually only last one swing but they have greatly improved my game. last year I bought 500 and ran out mid August. This year I bought 800 (see picture). I also use 1" and 1 1/4" step tees for the iron/hybrid shots. 7. Balls - Unfortunately, here is NW PA, the ground is wet in April, May and into June causing a lot of plugs and lost balls. Last year I saw a sale at Dicks for Maxfli StraightFli balls, $10 a dozen if you buy 3 dozen. I figured at that price they would make good mud balls until the courses dried out. I ended up playing them most of the summer. They actually have good distance and feel for a cheap ball. Yes, a Pro V has a little more distance and is better for the short game but at $10 a dozen, the StraightFlis were darn good. 8. Bag - I have used a Ping Traverse the last 2 years and it is a very good bag. I'm looking at a Ping Pioneer for this year if I can get a good price. 9. Putter - Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft For now that's it....have a great golf season Spies.... tony@CIC, Kenny B, fixyurdivot and 8 others 11 Quote Ping G400 Max @ 9 degrees Ping G400 Stretch 3W Ping G400 3i Hybrid Cleveland 2009 launcher 4i Hybrid (also a 2i and 1i not currently in the bag) Ping G700 5-9, PW, GW, SW (Green Dot and 3/4" length addition) Ping Glide-3 60 Deg.

Kenny B Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Welcome from one old man to another. Nice bag! That's 3 years worth of balls for me, but plugging never happens here.

wwaldo Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) "Me thinks someone has been sipping a little too much Buffalo Trace while shopping on the internet. LOL" LOL..PlaidJacket.....I see your point. BUT! A. There is no such thing as Too Much Buffalo Trace! Just ask my Ex Wife....ok, maybe don't ask her... B. Yes, I'm always on the lookout for items that are on sale or clearance. Dick's has great sales on golf items. I usually buy way more than I'll use and end up donating them for prizes to several Fundraiser Tournaments I help with. Autism and Breast Cancer..Great Causes! (and what you see in the pics is just a fraction of what I buy over the winter) And on a Positive note... My 60 degree Glide 3 Wedge has shipped! Take Care Spies!!!

fixyurdivot Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Nice bag. A bit PING-centric for my taste, but otherwise looks really good . Those G700's look alot like the i500's which, IMHO, are the best looking clubs in their lineup. Looks like you are ready when the courses are . wwaldo 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
