Popular Post TheBigBobRob Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hope you enjoy this setup as much as I've enjoyed looking at some of yours - Cheers MGS! I'll start off with saying this is the first set of irons I've owned that aren't Mizuno and the first wedges that aren't Cleveland. I picked up the game about 15 years ago after I graduated college - finding a great set of Mizuno T-Zoids, GBB 4-wood, Driver, Cleveland wedges, and an old 1969 Ping hotdog putter at a garage sale for $20 with bag (I have all these clubs still - maybe I'll do a WITB with this set too). The lady that sold it to me told me that her husband just bought all new stuff and didn't need it anymore but he didn't know she was selling it. I have to assume he's never let her forget that - assuming he let her live. Fast forward 12 years through several used sets of Mizuno Irons, Celeveland wedges and revisions on all of these clubs I'm feeling great with every club in here, but feeling odd without the Mizuno irons in there. Long story short - Mixed bag, mixed feelings. I acquired the set of PXG's over the winter at a local shop for $400 and figured I couldn't pass them up. I did a shaft fitting and wow that makes all the difference. Right now the DG120S fit my game perfectly. Last year I went to a demo days, expecting to move from Cleveland to Callaway wedges (love the look), and somehow, after hours of hitting wedges walked away with Mizuno JPX919's. Still shocked because I had never considered Mizuno wedges, it was definitely not a brand name purchase - they were just the best for my swing. Same story with the Exotics 3W. Was expecting to walk away with a Rogue - but feel, sound, and launch monitor all agreed - Exoitcs it was. I stumbled into the Rogue driver after I got fit for the Epic a few years ago and had massive quality issues with it. Four Epic's later and one exploded crown, they sent me a Rogue and it's been fantastic. I think the most interesting club in my bag is my putter. I picked this up a few years into the game and haven't found better. I moved to the Spider last year and part of this year but had to come back to my Bobby Grace and it felt like coming home. I own 6 Bobby Grace putters, but the M5K-GT is the go to. Why Bobby Grace? I'm not sure... but it's been my thing. As a side note, I've always played Bridgestone balls, but this year decided to dedicate a year to ProV1 - it just seemed like I should probably play at least one season with the most popular ball in golf. I've been happy so far but am dying to give this years Bridgeys a couple rounds, too.

downlowkey Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Nice setup @TheBigBobRob! Save for a few brief lapses, I’ve gamed the same Bobby Grace M5K-GT for ~15 years. I think it’s one of the best wands ever made and kinda tough to find with the TC (tour center) hosel like ours. My BG collection has steadily grown over that same period... he makes great stuff.

AGutierrez7 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Very nice setup you got there, I really enjoy my Mizuno CLK hybrid so it's cool to see another gaming one. Those irons look great! Overall, awesome looking mixed bag!

I would love to see your collection sometime! Do you know if anyone has a Bobby Grace thread somewhere on here? Would like to share mine sometime too. Have you tried any of the newer stuff (F-18, F-22, HSM1/2)?

I just did a quick search and we don't really have an ongoing Bobby Grace general discussion/appreciation thread. @chisag games a 6330 and @aerospace_ray is also somewhat of a fan... probably have a few other BG gamers around here. Most golfers have no idea that Mr. Grace was among the first to introduce serious MOI face balanced mallets with face tech to specifically improve roll and distance control. And he was doing it 15+ years ago! Re: presenting my BG collection - if you'll start a nice Bobby Grace thread, I will post my stuff and we can dig into all his various tech innovations there. Deal?

I am a long time Bobby Grace fan and have played/collected numerous Grace model putters from 1994 to present. He is a very nice gentleman and has a pretty good track record regarding his putters and their success on the professional tours. Two links below give a little history about him, his successes: https://www.thelaurelmagazine.com/articles/legendary-golf-clubs http://www.bobbygraceputters.com/our-story.php Plenty of detailed information on his website and youtube interviews. http://www.bobbygraceputters.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWpC5pXkt4c You can reach him/staff (see website) for specific questions regarding style putter and custom options. I would encourage anyone interested to research his website and videos on the web regarding his designs and how they are designed (i.e HSM face insert is pretty cool how that evolved).

Whether OEM or Off-The-Wall... Spies want pics Yo! OK OK - but be warned the headcover game is weak. I just started collecting headcovers last year after my buddy and I got to play a scramble in private course here in Michigan called Lost Dunes, and won the scramble. I decided to get a headcover to remember it by. Since then I have acquired a few if I play a memorable round somewhere or come across something that i can't pass up Standard : Orange and Blue setup.
