I've tried most of the new grips, and I always end up going back to tour velvets :P
-
I carry 14, but I'm thinking about taking my gap wedge out. My gap wedge is 50* and my PW is 47* and the yardage difference between the two is about 10 yards at most. If it's not too expensive, I think i'll have it bent to a higher loft.

thinking of getting new irons...
thr33 replied to TMburner09's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I think you'll be just fine! I found that from switching from TM Rac CGB irons (Super game improvement irons) to r7 TP irons, I didn't really find myself being penalized too much on my mishits. I don't think that making the switch from GI irons to players irons is as big of a deal as so many people make it. -
I second the x86 bag mainly due it's light weight and the fact that it matches most of my clubs :P I've used ogio bags in the past (exo and some older models) and have never had any problems with the stands or durability of the bag.

Funny because i was just thinking about regripping my clubs wiht smaller grips. That being said, I wear a small glove and while my hands are normal size, they're kinda girly and slender. I've heard that (not sure if this is true) the thicker grips are often better for your swing because it makes you 1. feel less obligated to grip tighter and 2. discourages you from getting to "handsy" with your swing. For me personally, I can't make a good swing with fatter grips.

What's in your bag (other than clubs)?
thr33 replied to frogger's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
towel, wire brush, ~6-9 golf balls, rain cover, tees, assorted ball markers, 3 divot repair tools, 4 gloves (2 for rain), a light running jacket, bandaids, water, speed wrap, groove sharpener, about 20 bucks for emergencies (beer), few extra spikes, glucose tabs, granola bars, pocket knife, and an extra lighter. -
It's true that blades aren't as bad as so many people make them out to be. My first set of irons when I was 13 was a set of Titlest 981, which although aren't blades, are definitely not game improvement. I've tried SGI, GI and players irons but it's really not all that much different. If you hit the blades really fat or thin, the chances are that you would've done the same with a GI iron.

Oh! and despite how my WITB says, i'm using a TM driver and TM wedges so I'm not a complete snob lol
-
I guess i'm a bit brand loyal to Titleist because they were the irons i learned how to play golf on (i also happen to hit them well). I don't really have a problem deviating from titleist as long as it works. I would and have played most brand (TM, ping, cobra, etc) with the exception of Nike. Just don't like their stuff for some reason

Nike Air Max Summer Golf Shoes
thr33 replied to ControlJunkie's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
oh wow! i just bought these last week! they're extremely comfortable and for me tend to run about half size smaller than other companies. -
help me pick a 3 wood shaft!
thr33 replied to Ryanrocksfender's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
For a higher launch, I'd try a Graffaloy Epic FW. I have it in my driver, and i love it! -
Already a thread on this http://www.thesandtrap.com/forum/sho...=hammer+driver . Jack Hamm FTW!!! POWWW!!!!

Sun Mountain Four 5 Stand Bag - Divider Question
thr33 replied to U345387's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I used an ogio vector bag with the woode club management system for 2 years, and never had any issues. I play about 60 rounds a year and i walk the majority of them. I believe Titleist bags are made by Sun Mountain, and I'd recommend them as well. -
How many golf clubs have you broken?
thr33 replied to xuale's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
1. Wilson Prostaff 4 iron 2. 1 year 3. graphite 4. Over my knee at the golf course 5. It's not as bad as it sounds. I was sitting down on a bench with the club in my lap when I got a little curious to see how far the shaft could bend. Needless to say, not very much. I had hardly exerted any pressure on the shaft when the shaft just snapped....my dad was really upset because he thought I had broken it in anger :P -
How Many Sets of Irons Do You Have? What Are They?
thr33 replied to Mr.Mongo's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
2 full sets of golf clubs! the irons are... 1.) Titleist 735.CM with project x 5.5 2.) r7 TP with s300 I think i've played one round with the tp's since i've bought the 735's about 8 months ago :P -
favorite irons you've ever owned?
thr33 replied to gomery012's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
My current irons right now. I also really like the AP2's but can't afford them at the moment :( -
Golf Shoes - Standard or Wide?
thr33 replied to TechDude's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I myself prefer medium width shoes, and as for style I buy one athletic looking pair to wear with shorts and the more dressy type to wear with slacks. My problem is that I have narrow heels, and that's much harder to deal with than wide feet :( -
Abandoning the 4 wedge setup...
thr33 replied to youngskip40's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I actually had the best luck using just 47, 52, 56 without a lob wedge, but am currently using 47, 50, 54, 60 and my wedge game has gone down the crapper. I want to use my old wedges again, but feel bad abandoning my new wedges :( -
What Hybrid did you get and why?
thr33 replied to AbsoluteZero's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I play the titleist 909h as a 3 iron replacement. Despite being a titleist club, it's very easy to hit. I had a tendency to snap hook a lot of the other manufacturers I tried. -
I don't have the x-stiff but I have it in 2 different drivers in stiff and regular and love them both. It definitely plays stiffer than stock oem shafts, but that seems to be true for any aftermarket shaft. I'm not very saavy when it comes to shafts, but i found a good review on it at the golfwrx site that convinced me to buy it. http://www.golfwrx.com/BagChatter/20...-shaft-review/ good luck!
-
I bought the 907d2 over the new 909's cuz they felt better for me. And yes, it definitely has some distance!

Hogan Apex Plus, what am I missing?
thr33 replied to duffer's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Not that I see! I don't really feel like the pricing on Callaway preowned is very competitive when compared with the likes of ebay or clearance merchandise at any major vendor. -
I also have a tendency to score better when I walk rather ride. The reasoning for me is kinda stupid, but most often if I change my mind on what club to hit, it's too late because my cart buddy already drove to his ball....:P
-
Congratulations! I remember the first time i shot under which was at my local muni. I shot a 35 on the front and a 41 on the back :*( It's really hard to keep it together for both 9's!

Flipping your wrists may result in a decent shot if your timing is good, but if you're timing is slightly off, you'll get terrible results. I used to flip my wrists a lot and I was very accurate because I practiced so much. When I got busy with school and couldn't practice, my wedge game fell apart. I'd stick with firm wrists if at all possible. I'm not a golf guru of any sort, so if i'm wrong, my bad. I'm only speaking from personal experience.
