Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

[rocket23]

I need to retire a bag soon. But I have a good callaway bag as a back up. So no more buying this year.

Just ordered an used Adams 2014 Tight Lies Fairway 5 Wood for a nice cheap price. Very curious to test it out.
Been looking for a fairway wood to replace my 3 hybrid to help give me a bit more distance on par 5's and long par 4's.

@retoid you’re gonna like the vice better. I use them both Bridgestone e12 and vice 

Well you were certainly right about this. Didn't notice much difference from when I switched to the e12's from the Kirkland balls. But today when I first tried the Vice Pro's, wow noticeable difference. Longest drives I've had so far and I think I need to club down on iron shots with it. Kept overshooting the green with them. Great feel and sound too.

They are Still in the box. lol

   Maxfli softfli is the specific name. I hate hitting a ball that has anything solid or like hitting a rock. In the past (a few seasons ago) I remember using maxfli but they scuffed easily. So I went with a more expensive albeit “soft” ball. 
With the maxfli purchase ,off season, I. got over a hundred balls for eighty bucks so I figure what the hell.

Wow ~$0.80 a ball? That's a great deal!

Yeah it was a dicks Black Friday deal. But you had to buy the 96. Pack

54 and 58 degree SM9 wedges, replacing 4 year old Callaways.

Have chipped with them twice so far and 1 range session.

Carry yardages were right where I expected, nothing crazy there. They did seem to launch MUCH higher than what I'm used to, but it possibly could have been the range balls too since I was at a different range than usual and they weren't the best quality balls.

 

Chipping has taken some getting used to, significantly more spin and stopping power especially on uphill shots. 

Generating quite a bit more spin out of the rough too.

I went through those Vice Pro Plus' too fast lol. Loved them but I lost 6 the other day. 2 over the fence and the rest in bushes/tall grass. Decided to pick up and try out the Sugar balls. If those go just as fast, I'll probably resort to looking for a deal like you just got :D

Just picked up a mint condition Spider X Hydroblast putter. 

35", small slant neck. 

Been putting with a blade for a while but haven't been a fan of it inside 10 feet.

This Spider X seems much better inside 10 feet so far during my practice session today.

What I like best about that putter is the ability to tap in the small putts from the opposite end. I have the ordinary knock off.  By far the best club in the bag.
