Big fan of the Mizuno MP Fli-Hi.  Looks like a iron but with a little more meat on it.  They can be had on Ebay for $40-$80.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Completely subjective, but I am partial to the Adams V3.

+1 on the Adams V3.  I have the 3, 4, and 5, and depending on the course and weather, I'll usually carry two of them.  I've had the Ping G10, Mizuno Clik Fli-Hi's or something like that, and Adams A7.  I really like the small head and easy swing of the V3's.  Can I work the ball with them?  I can work it straight almost everytime, which at my handicap (and yours I suspect) is what we are looking for.

My Bag:

  -- Cobra S3 Driver, 10.5 stiff

  -- Ping G15 17 Deg 4 W, Reg Flex Aldila Serrano

  -- Adams Idea Tech V3 Hyvrids - 3H, 4H, Bassara Reg Flex

  -- Callaway X Hot Pro Irons - 5-AW, PX-95, 6.0 flex

  -- Cleveland CG12- 56 Deg

  -- Odyssey XG Marxman Putter

I've tried a ton, and finally found one I like, Adams A12 Pro.

Second what Te3point5 said...it's completely subjective. That being said, I'd recommend the Adams A12 line (standard or pro), the SS Super Hybrid, and the Cleveland Mashie. All can be found in the $50-100 range.

Personally I'm looking at the cleveland mashie and the cobra baffler h rail. I'm intrigued by the cobra because I've read it is extremely forgiving but I'm still researching. I'm a terrible golfer but I didn't have a great experience with the original nickent 3dx genex. I could get some nice distance but it wasn't as forgiving as I need which is a lot. I believe that the original 3dx was relatively workable for what it was but can't rightly remember.

The Mashie is a great club, plus you get the premium Miyazaki shaft standard. They are dirt cheap right now also.

Agreed with that about the Adams a12 pro I tried it against the rbz 2 Nike covert cobra amp cell and a few others but nothing compared to the $80 dollar last years model of the Adams hybrid. Well worth the money and a must buy if in the market for a new hybrid.

As stated before, Adams Idea Tech V3 is the best imo. Just got mine recently and it's a tremendous club the few chances I've had to hit it. Can be found for very cheap too, I got mine brand new for $60 from rockbottom.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
