Dang, those look sweet!  Have you played them yet?

These wedges always make me snicker a little, as they look somewhat like the face of a sock puppet with a big grin!

That's a sweet bag. Don't leave it in the car!

I haven't actually played a round with them yet but I have been to the range with them.  The Wilsons were the only ones I hadn't tried out before (I bought them online because I got a good price and no where around here carried them).  Overall, I really like them... maybe I'll have them reshafted but I want to see how they perform a bit more before I go down that road.

Yeah, they do kind of look like that, but I don't think they look bad.  When they came out I kind of snickered at them to because of the ability to change the face, but I guess the idea has grown on me a bit and it's not something that I have to do.  I find them to be a little clickier than my old wedges (the Callaway X Forged) but I hit the ball nicely with them.

It is a very nice bag, and while it sucks that my other bag got stolen I definitely did come out on top.  Dealing with the insurance was actually quick and easy too which was completely unexpected.

was that homeowners theft insurance or car insurance coverage?

It was covered under my renters insurance... car insurance would only cover things that are typical to the use of the car (like the XM radio that they also stole).

Nice bag. What do you think of the A12 Pro hybrids? I've heard lots of good things, but lots of mixed opinions on the stock shafts. Does the Altus or the RIP launch higher? I would demo them, but the Canadian weather killed the golf season...

Just got a new bag/headcovers for the woods/hybrid/scotty. hope you guys like...oh, and the new cally wedges...

Nice Gioguy, how do you like those irons?

oh i'm in love lol. i'm having a nice little nickel (not a dime yet lol) mark on these...i was skeptical of the head as it's significantly smaller than my tour burners but, after a lot of range time i'm finally locked in. i wouldn't change a thing about em. the only thing i've been having issues with was the flight of the ball due to the shaft (rifle flighted 6.5's) but after working on a few things with my swing coach i realized it wasn't so much the shaft as much as it was me keeping my weight just a little back of center on my swing...by getting more on my left side i got my flight back down. i noticed only a minimal change in my distances but a drastic change in my consistency (for the good). I will say the feedback on shots just to the inside and outside of the sweet spot are evident, and the change in distance is predictable (about 10 yards on toe shots and not much on ones closer to the heel actually). they're definitely soft, and show bag chatter easily (may get *cough cough* iron covers?). i highly recommend these irons to anyone who has consistent ball striking ability...otherwise it will not be a great experience. i haven't had a chance to hit them out of rough (these are conforming grooves) so i can't say how they hit on flyers, etc. they're by far the most gorgeous irons i've ever had in the bag...and based on the performance...i wont' be changing them out anytime soon. greatest deal of my life pickin em up for $350 shipped. only the 7 showed any markings, and aside from the +2* upright that had to be adjusted and getting rid of the oversize grips that came with em, i couldnt' be happier. 



ps. anyone want a set of taylormade tour burners? 6/10 condition? lol

Thanks to a little savings and some Christmas money I have finally been able to complete my bag for the 2012 season, and hopefully these clubs will last me a long time (famous last words yada-yada). I'm proud to say I've completed my bag (bag included) for only $500 bucks. With a little bargain hunting done by perusing the used sections at local stores and chains and bartering with friends, I've come to this:

Ping G10 9* Stiff - $60 (Used)
Adams F10 15* Stiff - $60 (New)
Taylormade 09 Rescue 19* Stiff - $50 (Used)
Srixon i-506 3-PW Royal Precision Rifle Flighted 5.0 - $125 (Used)
Adams Tom Watson Wedges, 52*, 56*, 60* - $100 (New)
Wicked Putter - Free (Gift)
Callaway Hyperlite 3.5 - $115


Total - $510


(Yes I know there are 15 clubs, debating on whether to drop the 3 iron or Lob later)

Found the irons at my local golf shop, was amazed that they looked like they had been barely used. They had nice shafts, tacky grips, and when I took them out on the course to try them out before I bought them (the benefit of having a gracious shop owner) they performed. I couldn't believe I found a beautiful forged iron for so cheap, I felt like I was stealing.

I don't know how many agree, but I'm staunchly against buying boxed sets of irons when you're on a budget. I've seen too many heads from those clubs littering the driving range. My friend has had 3 heads fly off and he barely uses them. I'd much rather look around for great used clubs or 'new' clubs being phased out such as the F10. From the total I've spent about as much as mid-range box set, while getting notably higher quality clubs (the putter is arguable).

So, enjoy the pics, and I encourage the fellow 'poor' man with a bargain set of clubs to post and beat me!

You'll have to add them here for a lot of people (including me) to have a look.
