  1. I've tried browsing the web but it seems like I've been unable to find whether Odyssey's Oversize/Jumbo grip is more similar to SS's 2.0 or 3.0 or if they don't match at all. This because I've been using an Odyssey's Model 7 White Hot XG 2.0 Putter 2013 and can't decide what's better (I can't try any of them right now, not locally at least).
  2. Thanks all for the imputs, they really helped me figuring out which wedges to choose. As I said earlier before, I cannot test any wedge so I'm about to place a "this is the best I could came up with" order. I won't change my Cleveland 588 RTX CB gap wedge. I will change the sand, that's for sure, and I'm thinking about chaning the lob as well. Sand wedge will be 54°, I'm sure about this. I'm currently playing a high bounce sand (56.14) which causes me pain everytime I pull it off the bag. Also, a slightly lower loft fits better in my progression since the PW is a 45°. I just was a bit unsure about the grind but a few reads made up my mind as M seems a good choice to have an all around club for shoots around the green (opening up the face and stuff). So it will be a 54.10 M sand. As for the lob, since I've been talking about lofts progression, I should go for a 58 (I currently have a 60.12 Cleveland 588 RTX CB). I'm not 100% sure though as I've played a round of 9 holes and I was able to play from the bunker really smoothly. I'm still not confident on sorter shoots but that might be due to a lack of proper practice (I don't really wanna use it from bunkers only). The choice here is either a 58.08 M or a 58.11 K. Judging from what I've read, the 58.11 K is still a club that gives plenty of playability, but I find it to be pretty much like the lob I already own, so what's the deal? Should I go for the 58.08 M instead? Ah the struggle!
  3. @boogielicious I tend to leave minimal to no divot at all, this is why I'm going for a lower bounce. Or, at least, this is what theory suggests. You're all right: I'd try them out but, as said earlier, we don't even have a pro shop in our local golf club no more so I'm a bit wandering in the dark. Anyone would vouce of S or M for some reason? I mean, other that the turf conditions...
  4. Of course that would be the ideal scenario but I don't have such possibility where I live (small town in the center of Italy) so I need to rely on other people's thoughts. It's not a big issue with the gap and lob wedges, as they only have one option, but the sand got two so...
  5. I actually didn't enjoy my wedges too much. It could be because of the wrong bounce I've chosen, but I really want a change. This is why I'm looking toward Titleist's Vokey wedges.
  6. All three wedges are Cleveland 588 RTX with cavity back. As for the yardage I've never really measured it when applying such force. I should though but it's been quite some time since the last full round.
  7. 50.10, 56.14 and 60.12.
  8. I currently have a 45° PW, 50° gap, 56° sand and 60° lob. Bounces are pretty much wrong for my play style so I wanna replace them all (I've prolly chosen the wrong lofts as well). I'll get me Vokey wedges so, first question: knowing my PW is 45°, would you go for a 54° or 56°? If 54°, would you also swap the lob with a 58°? Second, I cannot make my mind about sand's grind: S or M? I'm a slider and take minimal to no divot. Last, the curses I usually play on got both soft and firm turf conditions. I'm not going to play outside but I think an all around wedge would be handy. So, as for lob's bounce, would you got for a .04, .07 or .08? I'm not feeling confident with the .11 to be honest. Thanks all for your imputs.
  9. In the end I was able to sell my VR_S Coverts and buy Mizuno forged :) I pretty much got a bargain from a legit UK website so I couldn't help but change ;D
  10. Thanks all for your important imputs! In the end I bought a 3H (Titleist's 913H). I'll prolly remove the 4i and 4w going for a more classic 3w-5w setup, but this will happen in the future as I don't have any haste to do that anytime soon.
  11. Hey everyone, currently this is my setup: 10.5° Cobra AMP Cell Driver 4-16.5° Cobra AMP Fairway Wood 4H-22° TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Rescue Hybrid 5 - PW Nike VR_S Covert Irons 50° & 56° Cleveland 588 RTX CB Wedge 60° Cleveland 588 RTX CB Wedge Model 7 Odyssey White Hot XG 2.0 Putter 13 clubs... I feel I've plenty of them to work around the greens, but I feel I'm lacking distance. I firstly thought about adding the 4 iron (I don't think it collides with the 4H hybrid) but then I thought about getting a 3H hybrid (I fell in love with Titleist's 913H hybrid because it can be assembled with an Aldila RIP Phenom shaft which I like a lot). I know they are different clubs but hear the rest ;) I also think a Cobra AMP Cell Fairway Wood 5-7 could fit... Summarizing it all we've got: 4 iron (mostly because I already own it so I shouldn't spend extra money to get it); 3H (19 degrees) Titleist 913H Hybrid (because of its shaft and extra yardage than the iron); 5 - 7 (17 - 20 degrees) Cobra AMP Cell Fairway Wood. Thanks all! :D
  12. @WUTiger model is Nike VR_S Covert, regular steel shaft (TT Dynamic Gold weighting at 90 grams). I heard a lot of good reviews about the NS 950GH and I've tossed them in because they would lower the club's weight. As reported in my first post, I've tried Mizuno's EZ Forged irons equipped with the TT XP105 shaft and I felt them being a bit too heavy. The weight balance was great though. So I was wondering if replacing the custom shaft (TT XP105) with a Nippon 950GH would do the trick. I too think Mizuno is the way to go. I'm currently playing with a 90 grams shaft so a 95 grams one shouldn't make me feeling the club being too light (even though I don't know how much Mizuno's heads weight, but I'm pretty sure they're not lighter than my current Nike's). I talked to a club maker yesterday and he too told me Mizuno EZ Forged equipped with Nippon 950 is the way. If I should ever feel them being too unbalanced, he could always work on it.
  13. Hi everybody, I've just registered on these forums to ask you all something very important. Yesterday I had a fitting session and, to me, the most important thing we came across is that I need a well balanced club (in terms of weight). If I'm feeling the weight on its head, then I'm not being comfortable with it. First off: I'm 1,85 cm and 90 kgs. Other important things are that I don't hit the ball so hard (but I knew that, I need to work on it) and values with my current 6 iron are the following: Club speed: 73.8 Attack angle: -0.2 Ball speed: 103.8 Smash factor: 1.41 Vert. angle: 18.9 Spin rate: 3350 Carry: 136.8 Landing angle: 36.9 So the fitter explained me that my smash factor is good, my spin rate is not and that the ball should fly higher for easier green attacks (this trying to summarize the session to the max). I badly wanted to try the Mizuno EZ Forged so he gave me a 6 iron equipped with XP 105 Steel shaft and it felt very good. Well balanced and I achieved the following values with it: Club speed: 73.7 Attack angle: 0.6 Ball speed: 102.7 Smash factor: 1.39 Vert. angle: 20.4 Spin rate: 3454 Carry: 136.1 Landing angle: 39.3 It felt a little bit heavy though so my biggest fear is that it could get tired after a full round of 18 holes. I also tried: Titleist's AP1 and TaylorMade's SpeedBlade but when I tried the Callaway's Apex with TrueTemper XP 95 shaft my hearth fainted: best feeling all around... But also some weak values... Club speed: 73.1 Attack angle: 1.0 Ball speed: 98.4 Smash factor: 1.35 Vert. angle: 22.2 Spin rate: 3676 Carry: 128.0 Landing angle: 41.2 I'd go for the EZ forged all the time but I probably should equip them with the Nippon NS Pro 950GH shaft instead of the XP 105 one. But what if this would make me feel the weight in the head mostly, instead of a well balanced club all around as stated earlier? I unfortunately couldn't (and can't) try it out so I'm just feeling clueless... Should I go for the Apex instead? Greater feeling and maybe values that could be improved on the driving range maybe... Thanks all for the long read.
