I am browsing for a set of those myself.  Those or the 695cb's.  I was going to get some x-forged or ap2's this spring, but to hell with it, I might as well get something I really need to work at.  The MPF isn't that far off my current 755's, if you follow Maltby's ratings (I use it as a guideline only).  The mb's are only rated 78 points away and the cb's actually rank as easier to play, theoretically of course.

Yes Kieren, it is unfortunate

I'm not here to poke fun but that post made me laugh quite alot haha

Question and im not asking this just because your from the north but I have many places I'd like to visit golf wise before I die. a bucket list if you will. Ireland is one. Scotland is another with st Andrews among others. Another place I've been told wonders of is prince Edward island. something like one of the 8 golf wonders that you should see like the stadium hole out in Arizona for the waste management open or Augusta in its entirety. Is it worth the trip?

Now to go back to blades. Do we actually considered cavity blades in the conversation? Or is it strictly muscle back, square toe, digging clubs?

Anybodybhit the fg 62s?

I can't speak for PEI, but Cape Breton, Nova Scotia has some nice golf.  (Where I am from, cough-cough) Bell Bay, Highlands Links, Dundee, Cabot Lake, The Lakes, and Le Portage are the better known courses.  I played Bell Bay and Highlands Links on a trip home last summer.  The island is/was ranked the #1 island destination in continental US/Canada and #3 in the world, so it's worth a trip.  Fall is the busy tourist season there.  I sound like a tourist bureau rep, lol.  The mainland has many nice courses as well.  I hear Fox Harb'r is nice, hell, they even have their own airstrip.

I vacationed in PEI a lot as a kid, and all I remember is Ann of Green Gables and lots of potato farms, lol.  Nice though, they have a zero tolerance litter policy.   Back then they did, anyway, couldn't even buy soda in a can.

Oops. My other post came out in the wrong spot. I have Mac Gregor Tourney VIP's. Nice sweet spot. Great feedback when hit wrong, but not overly punishing. I can hit em high and hold greens w the 4-iron and have holed out more pitches with the PW than I ever dreamed possible. They tend to be underpriced IMHO

I've always read that about the redlines (~ 1988/89 ?).

Glad I'm not a Hogan purist because I prefer the rounded sole and bounce on the Radials. (With graphite shafts, cut to original steel lengths, lofts left stock.)

PS: The best clubs are the ones somebody pays you to play. Mine are not the best.

got to give a nod to my cally's. i think they were priced out of the market when they first came to retail ($1500/set)...but they're the nicest, smoothest, nicest looking and longest blades i've hit. i know not a lot of people have hit em.

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

Cobra Bio+ 9* Matrix White Tie X  - Taylormade SLDR 15* ATTAS 80X - Titleist 910H 19* ATTAS 100X - Taylormade '13 TP MC 4-PW PX 6.5 - Vokey TVD M 50* DG TI X100 - Vokey SM4 55 / Vokey SM5 60* DG TI S400 - Piretti Potenza II 365g

    • Wordle 1,040 5/6* ⬛🟦⬛⬛🟧 ⬛⬛🟧⬛🟧 ⬛🟦🟧⬛🟧 ⬛⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧
    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR.
