I love mixed bags. Way to play what works vs a brand. The AD in that 3W is a great combo.

It was much more mixed before I picked up the SM6 set... These were the wedges I played for a while... I'm probably going to pull a Stenson and stock up on all the Ping G25/Tour AD driver and fairway combos I can get my hands on, great stuff. I've got a 16.5* w BB 7S as well.

The Miura ran its course, and some...

Likewise like the mixed setup. And great pics btw. Did you try any other Ping woods? Results?

I loved the G25 series so much that I blindly ordered a G30 wood set (driver, 3 and 5 wood) with black Tour AD DI shafts ($$$) but haven't fallen in love with them. This current setup is just perfect for me. The 10.5* G25 w AD BB allows me to hit high flying bombs that just go and go even though the ball flight would suggest it's spinning too much possibly.

[ChemE in the OP]

Ordered a Titleist T-MB 3 iron with a Tour AD DI 95S in it, should arrive this week. Will post pics when it shows up... Likely to rotate with the 915 Hd.

[ChemE in the OP]

Hoping this can become an alternate for the 20.5* Hd, shafted with the new Tour AD 95S utility shaft...

I would be interested to hear about how the tour ad utility shaft performs. Im thinking about putting it in a mizuno h5 2-iron.

I walked nine holes (playing three balls) and hit the T-MB about as much as I could with mixed results, it really seems like this shaft wants a slower tempo swing. I hit some really nice 210-215 yard tee shots with a really smooth swing but had trouble really jumping on it, which I tried several times. I'm going to mess around with it some more...

 

To be honest, I've got a 712u with a matrix program 130 shaft and after one session still prefer it as a hybrid iron. When I'm playing for cash I'm guessing the 915Hd is staying in the bag.

[BIG STU]

I am like Jay in that deal I like a mixed set up play what ever works for you no matter the brand or age for that matter

[ChemE in the OP]

I'd argue the G25 drivers and fairways are still some of the best clubs ever made when you look at all the categories, i.e. distance, accuracy, forgiveness, aesthetics and durability.

 

I've gamed Mizuno MP53s, Bridgestone J40CBs and these MP59s over the last 4-5 years. Hard to go wrong with any of them, the MP59 inserts kept growing on me over time.

[ChemE in the OP]

Byron you ordered sounds nice. How do you like the current 711 LN? What is the toe hang on that one...goin same on 612 L. Pipe?

[ChemE in the OP]

I've owned several Byrons to date and loved them all. After some testing I found I putt much better with a face balanced putter, which this 711 is and the 612 long round pipe will be. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can share it!

[SetTheBarrHigh]

Putter turned out great! Love long necks, that's the route I went with my Machine. Really like the wedges too!

Actually, this is a putter I bought since I'm ADD and couldn't wait on the new one! Will post pics when it arrives!

[ChemE in the OP]

Custom 612 arrives today! Hopefully I'll get pics up soon.

My new baby...

 

 

[Sir edward of putternut]

Wow, i have the j40s (nippon 120) and the 59s too....which do u prefer? Both top cbs! Great taste man!

[Jonesy]

Those putters are beautiful!

I end up playing the MP59s a bit more. They're in my gamer bag. The J40s are bent so that the 5-PW include a larger range of lofts for my Sunday bag.

 

The 59s are one of the clickier sounding sets of Mizunos but with those KBS tour shafts they really jump up in the air and work with my natural draw well.

 

Those putters are beautiful!

 

Thanks, man. Hoping the new 612 LN becomes my "go to" putter.

[ChemE in the OP]

Having a hard time keeping the J40s out of the bag lately. A few rounds with the Sunday bag and I'm hooked again.

[DaBears]

could just pick your bag up and play it, true grinder also by the looks of that dirty hybrid and beat up wedge, cheers
