  1. Waterbottle (Australia gets hot!) Lip Balm Divot Tool Sunscreen Mobile Phone (CLUBS?)
  2. These look amazing! I think the best irons since the RAC MB TP SMOKES!
  3. Titleist Perma Soft Glove x 3
  4. Personally, I would recommend the 907D2. I had it in the bag for 3 years (which is long for me!!!). I had it with a 76gram v2 shaft in it and found it an amazing combo (for me). Allow just the right balance of forgiveness and workability. I demoed the Dymo. Didnt think much of it at all. Visually, it looked closed to me. Although with the Str8-fit, you could open up a bit (in theory). The noise was a bit 'empty' too. Even off flushed drives, I didnt get that sound to indicate it was a good shot, even though it was. probably why the Dymo Drivers haven't featured in the tour bags (except the tour only 380cc version).
  5. My brother is on to his 3rd set of these (maybe even 4th now that I think of it) and cant get enough of them! He has to troll eBay in order to find mint sets. They are still out there and I highly recommend. The 755's are amazing too. I used to play these several years ago.
  6. I have a XCG Driver and it is by far one of the longest, best feeling drivers i've ever hit. I have hit the xcg fairway too, fantastic, nice launch. I was going to buy but, resisted due to the cost. I recently demo'ed their Spin wedges and they seemed great (even off the mats at my local range). Havent yet hit their irons though. But their woods are amazing.
  7. Not necessarily Mazza. For example, all of my irons are standard length with 1 deg upright. I always putted with a 35 degree putter until 4 years ago when i was fitted. Turns out a needed a 34 degree putter with 1.5 degrees FLAT. So irons and putters are two totally different worlds in terms of correct fitting. Note i'm right on 6' tall.
  8. I wouldnt even bother trying to learn off blades although, there are many golfers who started off doing so (IACAS i believe!?), technology should be treated as your friend and as a 12 marker, i dont recommend them at all. Most GI irons are very workable now (look at Ping I's, Callaway x22/Diablo Forged etc)!! There is no doubt that blades are more workable to the very low marker (who hits the ball in the centre most of the time) but, they will not give you one bit of forgiveness on off centre hits. Chris
  9. It totally depends on the face depth of your driver and generally the loft. if your playing a 10.5 and your driver is 400cc im taking a guess and saying that it is relatively deep (please correct me otherwise). There is an old saying that the further the ball is from the centre of the stance, the higher up the tee should be. What is your normal ball position? I may a natural draw, i have my ball 3 balls from the centre of my stance and only really tee the ball up about 1.25 inches from the ground. if im playing a cut or fade, i will tee it up about .5" higher and move it further toward my left instep. Try to go to the range and keep the same tee height, but, play with the ball position is my only suggestion. At a 22 marker, i would not suggest going below 10.5 of loft. Loft is your friend! kind regards, Chris
  10. you are a 1.2 marker and your asking us for suggestions based on a few vague parameters?
  11. Hi guys, Just thought I'd post a pic of what is currently in my quiver at the moment. Hopefully you guys will be able to post your bag/club pics in reply too. nb: Driver and 4 Iron are out of the bag, as they are still in car after the range this afternoon. Would appreciate your comments! and would be happy to answer any questions!! Cheers!
  12. I have mine tipped to 44.25". Have tried my shafts longer but find my accuracy wavers. I'd much rather be 10 yards back and on the fairway, than, 10 yards further and in the rough (or trees, or even water!). just my opinion.
  13. any game improvement clubs. try not to get sucked into getting irons you see in play on the tour/s. it will only lead to tears and frustration. callaway big berthas ping g5, g10s are great to learn on
  14. For that price point > check out the UST AxivCore range. Also, the Aldila DVS/Voodoo range too. I tested them a few mths ago and Im looking to put my Driver > Hybrid all in AxivCore as soon as I get back from overseas.
  15. i know that iacas has strong view on this. I know in his not too recent interview with bob vokey, the man himself suggests that your mid to high handicapper leave out a 60 degree wedge. I would have to agree with him on that one. In short, the higher the loft the harder to hit consistently. I would suggest picking up a 54 and 58 wedge combination. or even a 52 and 56 combination to start with. As many guys will mention, a lot of the wedges these days look almost ideal. with Clevelands CG's, Mizunos MP-Ts, Vokeys and Taylor Made RAC TP's looking almost identical in DNA as each other. I have recently hit a set of ping tour w wedges and immediately noticed that they were a touch bigger than the wedges above.
  16. I agree (yet again) with Shindig. Depends on your swing and more importantly your course set up. For example, in Australia, generally our fairways although very green and lush, are quite tight. with my lob wedges, I dont like anything >10degrees. Wedges are such a personal preference. My old vokey 58 was 14 degrees but I ended up grinding it down to an 8.
  17. sure! you can find a good set of used forged irons on most big name ebay stores. make sure you get the right shaft though. Your going to notice a huge different from your eye2s. as when you look down you will notice about 20% less club head! haha I would make a suggestion of the Mizuno MP-52s. I used to play MP-29s and MP-60's but these are fantastic. For a player's iron they are quite forgiving. Have a hit of the Bridgestone Packet Cavity. I was going to get them and they are very cheap on eBay at the moment. also, have you thought about the i10 irons??
  18. definately a bad idea to get blades with your current handicap. Yes, you hear stories of people only ever using blades (TW and AK). But one is the best player ever, and the other is top 25 in the world. There are more and more Game Improvement clubs out there with similar lofts to players irons, are midsize and with thin toplines too. I would definately look at a set of game improvement irons. You will definately enjoy your golf more and your handicap will come down considerably. My suggestions are: Ping i5, Pingi10/g10, Callaway x20/22, Bridgestone CGMid, Cleveland CG Gold and Nike VR Split Cavity. Make sure you get fitted with the RIGHT shaft. This is more important as your more likely to keep the same shaft-set through various clubs going-forward. Cheers, Chris
  19. i would definately step up to a 65 or 75 gram shaft then. i have my shaft 1/2" shorter than standard as I feel as if it stiffens it up slightly and give me touch more control (my home courses have very tight fairways). Best way > head to your local store and try some varying shafts. Most drivers these days will come with multiple stock shaft combos. not just the ol' generic. they will be more than willing to help you out. chris
  20. i took a 2 hr putting lesson from our local pga professional. i went from a 6 to a 2.2 in 4 months. we went from everything from stance, reading routine and grip. it was my first putting lesson.
  21. i dont think you should put a photo of yourself as part of the logo.
  22. The whole karsten series are fantastic putters. Although you get the feel or a face insert without actually having one. Due to the internal insert. Highly recommend.
  23. The next day is more than fine. I've been told everytime to wait 5-6 hours If you use an organic solvent, recommended 6 hrs+
  24. haha. wow. I guess everyone should rush out and get a set of Vokey Wedges.
  25. Like some of the other guys > I would suggest the Bridgestone E6+, but, if you find that you loose too much touch with the E6+ around the greens (you certainly will, when compared to the Wilson Zip's you have in play at the moment) try the E5+. It's a little bit softer, but, still flies hot off the face/ Especially with you, relatively, slower swing speed. My top suggesttion would be the Callaway HX Hot Bite. in short it's: Long off the tee and soft around the green. GOOD LUCK!
