WITB Photo Edition! - Page 28

Thought I would quote my post as have changed my bag and wedges and added a 3 iron 

 

This bag is seriously lite as well.

 

That Redwood putter is sexy! I love the Redwood series!

Decided to post a couple new pics after the new additions: Added the R11 and a new Vokey 58° wedge.

Since I love looking at all the posts here I decided to take some crappy photos of my clubs with my blackberry. Here they are hope they come out okay.

 

 

Here's my 2011 bag

 

Went into 2011 with the following setup

Now I loaded up with the following (pics to follow)

TItleist Vokey 52 degree gap wedge

Well, I replaced the irons recently so I figured I'd post some pictures of my bag again...

 

Heres my set-up currently:

Driver - Mizuno MP-630 w/ Fubuki shaft (stiff)

3 wood - Adams Speedline 9032ti Hybrid FW (14.5 deg) w/ Voodoo SNV7 shaft (stiff)

So I switched up almost my entire bag for springtime:

 

OUT: TM Burner Superfast 9.5 S --> IN: TM R9 420 10.5 S

 

OUT: TM Burner Superfast 3W 15* S --> IN: Cobra Speed LD-F 3W 15.5* S

 

OUT: TM RAC Nickel 52*  --> IN: Cleveland Mashie 23* S

 

OUT: Bridgestone J36 Combo 4-P PX-6.0-F --> IN: Ping Eye 2 + no + 4-W ZZ Lite S

 

KEEPERS: Adams Super Hybrid 19* S, Scotty Cameron SS Fastback #1, Scratch JLM-SND 56*, Nike SV Tour 60*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So since im STILL waiting to get out for my first round of the year (thanks mother nature for snow on April 1st) I decided to regrip my irons and wedges.  Now I am good to go for the year!

 

I have the same grips, I think you will be very pleased with that decision. Looks great.
 

 

You will be happy playing the Ping Eye 2 I love mine.  best clubs imo
 

 

Nice Todd, enjoy the new grips. They look good.

Thanks.  Ive had them on my R9 Supertri and my R9 3W and 09 Rescues.  My tackimac's were getting all marked up and looked like crap.  I should have black widowed my irons instead of tackimacing them originally.  

Mine seems to be about done. 

 

 

 

 

 

(Yes, the 3 hybrid shaft went in cosmetically wrong. Don't drink and build clubs kids!)

 

 

1970's ? Dont think so , Iranian Shah's living room ? Probably ! Sweet clubs though .

I thought that it was time to update my WITB for 2011. Although not much has changed, I have made a few additions.

I currently have 2 bags; my primary "gamer" bag and a secondary bag of "backups". I seldom game my "backups" which is a real shame, it would be nice to replace them with another set of 1957's... I also have a few clubs that, depending on course/conditions/etc, I will rotate in from time to time.

Anyway, first my primary bag:

Driver: Callaway 9.5' FT Tour w/Diamana WB 73 S, D3, 44.5"
Fairway Wood: Titleist 13' 909F3 D3 w/Matrix Ozik Code 8 S, D3, 43"
Irons: Miura 1957 Limited Edition "baby blade" 2, 4-PW
Wedges: Miura 52/7, 56/9 & 60/7
Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport Button Back, 33", 360g (rwb)
Bag: 2011 Titleist 14-way

My backups:

Driver: Callaway 9.5' FT Tour w/Diamana WB 73 S, D3, 44.25"
Fairway Wood: Titleist 15' 909F3 D3 w/Matrix Ozik Code 8 S, D3, 43"
Irons: Miura Tournament Blade, 3-PW
Wedges: Scratch Tour Department 52 SND, 56 SFU & 60 EGG
Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport, 33", 360g (rwb)
Bag: 2009 PING Hoofer

My extras:

Fairway Wood: Titleist 18' 909F3 D3 w/Matrix Ozik Code 8 S, D3, 42.5"
Irons: Miura 1957 Limited Edition "baby blade" 3-iron
Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport, 33", 360g (purple)
Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport, 33", 360g (red)
Putter: Scotty Cameron TeI3 Newport, 33", 360g
Putter: Scotty Cameron AOP Newport, 33", 360g
Putter: Scotty Cameron Button Back Newport, 34", 350g

My primary driver is a Callaway FT Tour with a spine aligned Diamana WhiteBoard 73 in S flex tipped about 1/4". The driver swings at 44.5" and is weighted at D3 via a little hot melt. This driver is gripped with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord w/a single wrap of tape. My backup driver is virtually identical to my "gamer". Same shaft (spine aligned & tipped about 1/4"), same swingweight. Swings at 44.25" and is gripped with a black/purple Golf Pride Multi-Compound.

The fairway woods have all been custom built as well starting with stock clubs from Titleist. Shafts have been spine aligned and play just a tad stiffer than "stock S-flex" (like my drivers, tipped about 1/4"). The swingweights are set to D3 (hot melt when needed). They are all gripped with Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cords.

My primary irons & wedges were also custom built. Both my 57' & 62' wedges feature custom C grinds. Specs of my primary irons & wedges are as follows;

As you might expect, my backups were custom built as well. Specs are as follows (virtually identical to my 1957's);

All of my Miura irons/wedges contain conforming grooves. My Scratch wedges, on the other hand, are non-conforming.

My putters are all Scotty Cameron Newports and I've got a multitude of (very similar) choices.

To start things off, I have 3 Studio Select Newports all 33" with 20g weights and Cameron cord grips (one red, 2 black). One has the stock paint theme and the other two have been tweaked slightly as shown in the pics. The red/white/blue putter has just those "cherry" dots changed, stock paint otherwise. My black/purple one has been changed as shown and has had the paint stripped from the sole.

I also have a pair of Newport Button Backs. The one with the polished insert has been shortened to 33" and sports 20g weights and a black Cameron cord grip and red/white/blue paint. The other one is bone stock, plays to 34" and has the factory 15g weights and the leather stitchback grip and headcover.

To round out my flatsticks, I also have a Cameron AOP (Art of Putting) Newport and a Sole-Stamp TeI3. Both of these sticks have had the stock shafts swapped out with new ones and now play to the 360g/33" configuration that I prefer. I swapped out the shafts (and weighted via tungsten powder) so that I could return them to stock when/if I decide to in the future.

My primary gamer, as in 90%+ of my rounds, is my red/white/blue Button Back and it lives under the blue Odyssey headcover that you see in the pics. I strongly prefer this headcover due to it's slim size and magnetic closure (if only I could find one in black). My "backup" is my red/white/blue Newport. I just had my AOP and TeI3 modified to fit me better though so that slot in my bag just might be up for grabs.

As noted in my signature, I use all of this gear to smack around either a TaylorMade Penta TP or a Bridgestone B330-S.

At the moment I'm very happy with both of my bags. Although, I would like to make a few changes (wouldn't we all);

1 - I'd really LOVE to swap out my TB heads for some CC 1957 heads. This would allow me to put my bags in a regular rotation. I strongly prefer the 1957's and would love to "standardize" on them for my irons.
2 - I'd like to replace my Scratch wedges with something that has CC grooves. I've been debating over going with a 53'/58' setup to open another slot at the top of my bag. I'm not sure that I want to do this though since I've very comfortable with my 52'/57'/62' setup.
3 - I'd like to get my hands on another TeI3, preferably another sole-stamp, in rough shape that I can send out for a deep milling. I think that this would be the ultimate in a soft feeling putter.

Enough rambling, on to some pictures...
