Popular Post Crowev01 Posted October 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) I figured since I'm still fairly new around here, I'd share my taste for turn of the century gear with you: Driver, Titleist 975J, EI-70 Stiff shaft, Golf Pride Tour Velvet Full Cord Grip. I've pinned the ceiling fabric up on this thing for years, but it still starts and stinks like old cigarettes. Thanks to this wonderful forum, she's going to sit in the garage a while. 3 Wood, Callaway Hawkeye, 14deg, Stiff Shaft, Callaway Replacement Grip, What can I say, she's mean but refills my coffee before it's empty and calls me sugar. Hogan CFT 2 Hybrid, 19 degrees, Stiff Steel Shaft, Worn out old Tour Wrap grip. I play this when I'm too scared to hit the real 2 iron I also have. I could punch this thing out from under an El Camino. Hogan Apex Plus 2-E, Apex 4 Shafts, Lamkin Z5 Midsized Grips. Its like having an old pontoon boat that needs new carpet, but is still the center of attention at the lake party. I can't get enough of these things, but they need to be in a museum. Quittin hurts so bad. Wedges Cleveland 588 Gunmetal 51 and 56, steel shaft, Lamkin midsized z5. The shaft in the sand wedge is totally bent because I threw it so many times, but they're like enemies I've conquered and want to keep around. The grooves are so gone, they have as much backspin as a 1 iron, but there's a price for everything. Putter Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2 Mid Slant, Tiger Imitating Ping putter Grip. I can barely keep this thing on the greens, but it was a gift from my grandpa and I take it with me to go to the bathroom at the club so no one takes it. They will bury me before I change that out for another putter. I might see that cute new putter in the corner, but mama's gonna know I went looking. Ball Thanks to the ball lab, I switched to using one ball only. Right now, its the Maxfli Tour X. I feel strange playing a DSG house brand, but this is a weird game. If you have any questions about how I've managed to hang on to these clubs so long, please, I'm right here. EDIT: I am 6'7" and these are all standard clubs. Length, lie, all of it. Yeeeeeee haw. Hit em straight out there. Edited October 24, 2020 by Crowev01 Important information left out.

If it works it works. My 3 wood and 2 hybrid are not leaving the bag any time soon, or my putter. Probably the irons either. Wedges are always on the hot seat though... still searching for the Elder Wands. Rtracymog, Crowev01 and Nic 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLooper Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The sunburst looks good in any bag. I'm having as much fun rocking my old Grinds as I did testing the Wilson D7 Forged. I played the Plus for a while as well. Wish I still had 'em.

I have a original one yes I found it on the scrap pile. They did a reissue on them because my bud Bear who is a club ho bought one and paid right at $100 for it at PGASS. And yes those things are LOUD! Ran into a young fellow the other day who was putting on the practice green with a Iron Master. I knew what it was by the profile ( Lord knows I own enough of them) His Grandfather passed it down to him and he said he putted pretty well with it.

I would definitely recommended Ping carry bags, I have had them for a long time and I would stay with them, no doubt. As far as the ball lab, the Maxfli performed pretty well, but the idea of eliminating variables to focus on improving was what really struck me. This was just the most affordable option that tested well. I have been satisfied so far.

ShaolinDolemite Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The Apex Plus/Pro's were pure. Pure pure. I had a set of the Pro's and MB's when the '99 model came out and loved them! It was well before they released the FTX combo set. I gave them away and it haunts me!
