Russ757... Back from the dead... Now G430'd


Recommended Posts

For what I paid... I couldn't pass them up. Being honest, I bought them before I posted the 765 for 620 deal on global..

 

They are now drying with the fibers. Changed the red lettering to green. Still need to satin them

Looking awesome! I took the black fill out of the ztx in the cavity. Gives it a nice clean look. Although, some had already started to come off so it was more I didn't want to redo them all. Green really pops though.

 

Did you notice a big difference in feel between the rtx 2 Vs rtx 3? Do they look much different at address?

Nice looking setups, can't go wrong with Srixon's lineup for irons.

VERY nice! I like the headcovers. Those will be good in the rain. ;)

 

I had some 765's but need to reorder at some point with the correct shaft. Srixon/Cleveland is truly becoming a force to be reckoned with, especially in the iron and wedge categories. From what I hear, the woods are nice in the Z65 series too.

Seeing your Cobra bag you ever test out the Cobra fly z forged irons? They are extremely good

Brah... Srixons

 

 

Jk... My buddy Joel up the road has them and has been a big fan. But honestly, I don't know how an iron can be any better than these

when your bags are pretty much set, theres only so much tweaking left to do.

 

I think i was hurting my game playing overly stiff shafts. (i know, first time thats been admitted on wrx)

 

So i went back to some stiffs, including throwing in some golden oldies.

 

really get along with the baffler at 16*, so figured why not grab a LTD 4/5 and play at 16* in the other bag..

ignore the tape, I have a few rogues tipped different amounts

 

remember these oldies?

Im gonna rebuild an Adams 3446 here and maybe sleeve up some Matrix RUL shafts just for giggles.

played in some honest to goodness soup today. But it was 60* so I was trying.

 

IRT the MFS, I wont say they are the be all, end all but they are very good. VERY good. I def was playing over flex. I used the baffler off the tee on a few occassions and was piping them out there. As such, didnt get to use the driver to often but..

 

the local muni hole 4 par four has a pond carry of about 240-250 from the whites. Usually i lay up to the front which leaves me about 180 to the pin. Well for giggles I brought out the big stick and carried it about 270. Ive hit a few to that distance (oban purple on the one time i controlled it) but I honestly feel that I could repeat that.

 

My swing is straight trash now as I havent had the net up to keep me fluid. Be quite interested to see how this pairing feels in the spring.

 

probably going to grab another MFS 40 for the 3446.

I had an "orange crush" MFS shaft in a 910D3 and it was the straightest damn driver ever

but the head lost its pop and I got rid of it

was a shame, such a good combo - been chasing it ever since

Russ,

 

I love the pics ...

and great idea on the spring and winter bag, I like that.

 

question though: (especially as a Cleveland and possible a Srixon fan)

Obviously, from the pics you carry the Cobra woods but what is your take on what Srixon has to offer in the same department?

For instance, is it a matter of familiarity or is there something about Srixon Woods you don't like?

honestly, I haven't tried the srixon woods/hybrids so cannot comment on those. Ive just had good luck with cobra so no need to look elsewhere.

I just had to ask as a Cleveland fan ...

 

Yea, that's my thoughts exactly. If it isn't broken, why fix.

That's why am a bit hesitant to venture over to Srixon.

I am sure my thoughts might change over time but I am comfortable with what I've experienced with Cleveland thus far .

 

I was actually considering getting the TTs to use in a second bag maybe intermingle with the MTs. Who knows.

It is an ever evolving journey ...

 

thanks again for giving us a look-see in your process ...

i saw you PMd about those 588s. Im telling you.. that is such a good set but I would use those as the summer set. 588 MTs are the most underrated long irons out IMO.

 

 

again. I don't know if theyre good or not But if you are looking at Cleveland the 310 (classic and non) were VERY good drivers. Especially with the Kusala black. For fw you can try the FL line that still are in some of the pro bags.

 

but at the end of the day, play what works

Yea, I initially was gifted the TA7s from a buddy of mine to get started.

Honestly I didn't know what I really wanted. (although the CB/MB combo and TTs stood out)

 

A GolfSmith pro really persuaded me to try the MTs and the rest has been history.

 

You mentioned using the MTs as my summer irons.

And like I said early I like your idea for a Spring and Winter bag.

 

So, just to ensure I am understanding correctly.

Are you using more a forgiving iron or flex due to the winter conditions?

Is it more about these are my playing irons and these are my practice/swing/consistency clubs?

What are your thoughts and correct me if I am wrong in anyway?

 

 

Ps. definitely going to take a look at those Cleveland club suggestions as well. (310 and FL) Thanks for that nugget.

And heard some good things about the Z 545s and 565s if I didn't go the TT route. Let me know what you think.
