That'a a very good ball and at that price it's unbeatable. I wish I hadn't loaded up on Wilson Eco Cores - decent balls, but certainly not as good as the Noodle Tours.

I picked up a couple used carry bags. One I used a couple times and the other I picked up to sell. It seems like clubs sell quicker at garage sales when they're in a bag.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Darn now I wish I picked up a few more boxes.

I picked up a new putter grip (Winn AVS Midsize Pistol = Awesome) and a sleeve of the Tour Yellow Z-Star X balls.



Honestly, I hate this ball, especially for the price. Great distance and accuracy off the tee, but man this thing feels sub-par around the green compared to ProV1/V1x/Penta TP/B330S. Spin on approach shots, spin on chips and flops and the feel off of the putter face seem quite a bit more like an NXT Tour or Trispeed than a premium ball.

The yellow color is great though. Easy to follow in the air, easy to find on the ground. I don't feel any calmer or more relaxed putting, but I don't remember the last time I was calm or relaxed given grad school living. :)

I'd be so happy to see a ProV1 or Penta this color, may give the regular Z Star a shot.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

i agree with you about these balls. I actually found a few brand new ones on the course and I thought I would really like them since I like the srixon soft feel balls. I was kind of disappointed with them though, not that great around the greens like you said.

Agreed. Weird too for a 'tour level' ball. Have you played it against a regular z star?

+1 on the AVS Midsize Pistol. I "inherited" mine with my Heavy Putter and I really like it. Given the weight of the putter, the grip just fits well at its size. I don't think I could manage it with a smaller grip.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
