The putter is the most expensive club in my bag, simply because that club I use the most in my round. and it makes or breaks my round as well. I did get fitted into this one and it makes a huge difference for me. I have the Scotty Cameron Phantom x 8.5 in 35 inch with a superstroke pistol gt 2.0 grip

I think you should change the way you play in different conditions

It comes down to what data. and what type of amateur golfer you are. I do keep data on my golf rounds but only the tournament rounds. I make a practice plan over the winter time period on the worst part on my game. As for how far I hit my clubs I don't keep those stats

Indeed that Radspeed is pretty awesome. And cheap compared to the Callaway, Titleist and Tyalormade brands

So now i am waiting over 19 weeks and still didn’t get my wedges from titleist. I mean this sucks big time.

I shot a 78 yesterday in the gents competition. I played a horrible second 9. I started the round par, birdie, birdie, birdie. Followed it up with a double on 5. Turn at level par. My second birdie was on a short par 3 150 yards to the pin who was stuck behind a huge bunker. I thinned my 9I slightly and didn’t make the carry to the green so ended up in the bunker, took my lob wedge and hit a great shot it slam dunked the cup but came out again hit the green ones and spinned back in hole. First birdie was on a par 5 witch i reached in 2 and 2 putted. Third birdie a 400 yard par 4 hit 3 wood - 9 iron to about 6 feet and holed the put

I kinda like the extra wedge, from the fairway I don't have trouble to get the right distance for my shorter shots, and could use basically a pw or sw, but if I need to get there from the rough I struggle with those 3/4 shots and I tend to close the clubface and loose the ball to the left a lot. For me my setup is the best possible. I don't have any gaps in there.

My setup for 2021 finally completed. in The Bag: Putter: Mizuno M Craft VI with 35inch shaft and Superstroke 3.0 grip Wedges: Cleveland RTX Zipcore 50,55,60 KBS Tour Wedge flex shafts Golfpride MCC Aline Grips Irons: Mizuno JPX 921 Forged KBS Tour Stiff Shafts 4-pw Golfpride MCC Aline Grips Hybrid: Mizuno CLK 19deg loft Tensei CK blue stiff shaft Golfpride MCC Aline grip 3wood: Mizuno ST-Z 15 deg loft Tensei CK blue stiff shaft Golfpride MCC Aline grip Driver: Mizuno ST-Z 10.5 deg loft Tensei CK blue stiff shaft Golfpride MCC Aline Grip Pretty happy with this setup. What do you all think?

12 weeks in still no wedges. I got An option on some stock RTX Zipcore wedges i will buy those if i don’t get them before my golf trip.

I think it depends on your game basically and for the pro’s what kind off course they are playing. My setup will basically stay the same always. dr,3wood,3hybrid 4-pw 50,55,60 putter However i saw the setup from collin for scotish open, he carries 2 60deg wedges. One is the high toe version.

Still no wedges! Jeez i am past 10 weeks on those now

I am waiting 10 weeks now on my wedges, with kbs tour stiff shafts and golfpride mcc aline grips standard length only the 56 deg wedge bend down to 55. But i am from the Netherlands clubs should be made in UK and than transported so it might take a few extra days. Lets hope i get them next week.

It looks weird to me to have an iron with a lot offset. I get the feeling i can’t get a straight flight out of it. I guess people who hit the ball all over the clubface will benefit it. I prefer a cleaner look, thats why i love my mizuno jpx 921 forged irons, clean look with a little help

We golfers can use all the help we can get is my opinion. There is a reason why peo golfers carry 5 woods or hybrids as well. It just makes the game easier. I played blades for to long i guess, i am not to far off but the little extra help my irons give is just worth it. ( i play mizuno jpx 921 forged ) i recently switched my woods from titleist 917 d3 to cobra radspeed xb and my 3 hybrid is a radspeed as well that one is so easy to hit. I will trim down the length of the driver and 3 wood to 45inch and 42 inch. To give me some more control.

I start to really like the JPX irons, I played the mans competition yesterday and shot a 78. Could have been better but the concentration dropped near the end so I finished with 3 straight bogeys. it took me some time before I got used to the irons tho, I do hit them further than i hit the old ones, because of the stronger lofts I think, it doesn't fit my mind to hit a pitching wedge from 135yards out. makes me want those new wedges I ordered even more ( sm8 50,55,60). But I just love the irons, even when I am just off center the ball still goes, makes me much more precise on my approaches, I mean I still miss left and right but I am pin high a lot more.

I’ve heard True temper and golfpride are causing trouble. At the shop they told me titleist is between 8 and 12 weeks for custom orders. I went to a woods fitting as well guess i was lucky that the stock shaft works great for me on the cobra radspeed. I will pick them up tomorrow. I got great results on de xb driver and the 3 wood and 3 hybrid as well. So basically if i get the wedges i changed the whole bag.

When i picked up my new irons from the shop the owner said he got some new drivers for me to test. So i went for a new fitting. I was suprised about a driver i didn’t even expect but it is an amazing one. One we all should have a go with. It is the cobra radspeed, as i am seeking more forgiveness in a driver i ended up with the XB version. I got to say i love that one i still hit it about 15 yards further with a decent spin ( about 2800 rpm ) and my dispersion is way better.

The next update is a fact, the irons will be in tomorrow, got a phonecall from the shop today. so now it is only the vokey wedges that still need to come. I thought Titleist would be the first to arrive guess I was wrong there. maybe it is because one of them needs to be bend.

I actually had 2 today. First one hole 2 a 166m ( not yards lol ) par 3, little into the wind with a back right pin position, out here we have had a couple weeks of sunny weather so the greens are dry and hard, I thought if I can land it on the front it would release to the hole, I hit a perfect knockdown 6iron it had a ever so slightly fade on it and ended up 2 feet from the hole. hole 18 also a par 3 182m to the pin today guarded by bumpers front left and right. I actually hit a duff 5 iron off the tee what ended up still in front of the left bunker pin position was about 5 steps behind the bunker, I had to play a high lob shot to even have a chance off getting it close. I landed it just over the bunker in the fringe and it rolled out to just a few inches.

I played 9 today. Played the backnine started birdie par double double all pars to the end! I mean 3 over on 9 holes isn’t that bad but not like this

Oh i will. I went true a fitting, I could have gone with the tours also, but these where just better with the slight off center hits, and because the slightly stronger lofts I could easy loose my 3 iron and go with my strong 3 hybrid ( Titleist 818H1 19 deg. set in D1 so actually 18 ) and 4 iron in the set, and get an extra wedge in. still waiting on the irons and wedges to arrive. I tested the taylormade P770 and Titleist T200. I could have tried ping and callaway also but with ping I just hate the look of the hosel, and well I was never a fan of callaway, so I didn't even bother hitting them. I did play with taylormade and Titleist irons in the past. I had the TP irons before my MP 59's my first new set of irons where the MP 32's. But for irons I think it is just ones you had Mizuno you kinda stick with them. I am hitting my hybrids further than I hit my irons, so I don't want more than a 3 hybrid, ones the new irons are in the bag I will prob move back to the A1 setting in my hybrid, it will be 19 degrees than over just 21 in the 4 iron. but because the hybrid goes longer it fits the gap

The JPX 921 tours with either the JPX 921 Forged or hot metal pro's. Personally I am not a big fan of mix sets. so I went with the forged set. waiting for them to arrive. I'm gaming the 59's now also, I find the long irons harder to hit, so I ordered the JPX 921 Forged. hoping to game them soon.

I would prob go for a 3 or4 hybrid and replace it for the 7 wood. The way I look at it a hybrid is easier to hit of the tee and from the grass. I always carried an iron set 3-pw. but I carry driver 3 wood and a strong 3 hybrid also ( Titleist 818 H1 set in D1 position ) I did order a new set of irons to make my life a little easier on the course, I play the Mizuno MP59's now and I hardly use the 3 iron, only on a long par 3 with some wind. so in the end it was easy for me to get the new set 4-pw and get an extra wedge in the bag. I will have the Mizuno JPX 921 forged irons soon, with Vokey Sm8 wedges 50 55 60.

Mizuno Uk is saying they are shipping most within 4 weeks, but they have some trouble with a few shafts and grips. I just hope it isn't KBS or golf pride lol. Than prob Titleist will have the same issue for my wedges. Putter looks awesome if you ask me!

Right I have an update not the best one but I got a phone call today with the great news that the putter arrived. but no info yet about the wedges and irons
