Ha....ha...*golf clap* My usual accessories include extra tees, divot tools, advil, bandaids, sharpies, club brush, a pen etc. Mostly what everyone else has already listed minus the toothbrush.

Do you like Vokey's? (mild rant)
Machwon replied to whip_it_out's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I love my Vokeys. When you say least amount of feel do you mean feedback or what? They definitely aren't muted. If you want forged wedges with custom grinds and other options take a look at Scratch. -
I constantly buy/sell/sometimes trade. Probably hasn't helped my game a whole lot but, I take the same care for my clubs whether or not I think I'll keep it or sell it.
-
^Same here, I dont care if my clubs are blinging like some new 'dubs'. Kinda anti chrome myself. You will see pros with rusty clubs but, when you do it's usually their wedges.

Im guessing it's a hatch? Ive been trying to find a clean notchback but that's about impossible around here. My daily and only ride at the moment. I cuss my staff bag everytime I go to put it in or get it out the truck.

Shot an 82 after a slow start at one of the tougher local courses. 142/72.7 http://www.tannenbaumgolf.com/

Five finger death punch-The Bleeding

I meant tlc weights>lead tape. I wouldn't lead tape a superquad, just thinking about adding a few grams at the head and toe. I've had to re-learn where to tee the ball up and everything. It has a mid/boring trajectory now when hit good. I just seem to hit it different from one round to another it seems like. Been wanting to see what it looks like on a launch monitor but havent had the chance to. It still has the stock stiff reax in it.
-
That's what i'm hoping for and thinking about with some extra weight. I dont seem to carry the ball as far with my 8.5* Superquad as I did with my old lead taped 8.5* 983k driver. Figured I might as well get some heavier tlc weights then to lead tape it.
-
Has anyone on here weighted their drivers with extra weight? I have mine set to nuetral with two 14 gram weights in the center and 1 gram head/toe. Was wondering what was the popular choice head/toe for a little more weight and did it make any notable differences in drive distance?

Hah..Harding, im glad the school year is out. It seems like the city's population was cut in half in the last week or two. I know what you mean. You dont have a long drive to Memphis and some of the courses that way though. I guess being here im close to some of the resort courses near Greers Ferry and others closer to Little Rock. I would join at River Oaks here locally but that place stays too busy.

Thanks, the golf in Ar isn't bad. I have about a dozen or so courses within 45 minutes of Searcy I can play. We have two local to Searcy courses, but like to travel to better courses (the second local course is nice but private). A few of them are ranked on http://www.naturalstategolftrail.com .

Baseball and golf dont mix if you're playing both seriously at the same time. Just because you played baseball most your life doesnt mean you wont ever have a good golf swing. I tried to play both at the same time in highschool and can say that yeah that's not a good idea, but what your friend said makes no sense.
-
Since you already have a hybrid in your bag i'd maybe look at a fairway wood. I love...love my titleist 980 15*. It's been the most consistant wood for me in any shot.

I came across that same add tonight but for the black/gold 690 cb's and damn they look good. But I couldnt be bothered with that kind of upkeep after every round. Ill just stick with stock chrome. My next purchase maybe oil can vokies but i wont have a whole set of wore irons in 1+/- years
-
I shot the same today as well (40/42). Was hoping to get out of the back with another 40 but had a melt down in a sandtrap on the 18th and ended up taking a double bogey. Played my Dad's titty 690cb irons today and all I can say is wtf can i get a set in excellent shape?!

High Handicapper Updating Irons
Machwon replied to TheGolfingDetective's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Ive read alot of good things about the FP's. Have a buddy that loves his as well. Is the 500$ set the 07's or 08's and fitted or not? -
Ive heard of Sage Meadows, Will. Work with a guy that used to live in that area. I stay in Searcy, just up the road from Sherwood. I was down there yesterday at golfheadquarters.
-
If I top a ball after looking up I make sure to place my ball were i can read the logo as im set up for my shot. Or the number on the ball itself. Helps me focus on nothing but the ball and keeps my head down through my swing.

Vokey 200 Series 256.14 or SM56.14
Machwon replied to Maverick's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Im debating the spin milled versus the 200 series as well. Leaning towards the 200's though after hitting my fathers and seeing how well they sit down on the green. Not to hijack the thread but can someone comment on how long the oil can finish last on these wedges or if it wears at all?? Edit: Nevermind, found my answer. Forgot about that nifty search button :) -
Thanks for the welcome guys! Maybe we'll cross paths sometime, Will. Where do you usually play?

Hey everyone, I just came across this site a day or two ago and had to join. Definately seems like one of the better golf forums out there. Anyways, i'm just really getting into and enjoying golf over the last year or two and am looking to improve everything about my game.
-
I'm undecided. Ive hit my own 990b's and some 735cm's...are Mizunos that much better feeling on a well struck ball?

Swinging a TM 460 superquad 8.5* with the stock fujikara stiff shaft. I haven't played with the weights cause the few rounds i have played with it in the nuetral setting i've hit it pretty good. Mid-boring ball flight.
