SetTheBarrHigh - Update on First Post

[SetTheBarrHigh]

The turf interaction (on both full shots and pitches around the green) wasn't working well for me with the T7 58°. I was digging too much, despite the bounce being very similar to what I had been playing successfully before. There also weren't many grind options in the Mizuno stable and I had to look elsewhere.

 

With the newer MD4's coming out next year, the MD3 series has been dripping in price over the last few months. I am going to start 2018 with this MD3 and see where that takes me. I like the turf interaction and feel of it so far. However, that won't stop me from trying the SM7's when they debut.

New 4 wood in the bag, I decided I wanted a consistent club that fit my yardage gap.

Just curious as to how you remove the putters from your rack ?

(Without moving it ?)

Great question! Ideally, I’d have a space for it with a little more room, but for now the ones that are in held there are sentimental and don’t get much playing time. But yes, I do have to move it a little from where it currently is.

Want to sell that awesome Futura :)?

Loved the steelhead!!!!

It's slightly sentimental, so I think I have to keep that one around! That one was in the bag for a few successful seasons in high school.

I had the Steelhead III in the bag for a long time, 2003-2007 I think. So this one was a no brainer when I started looking around at 4 woods.

Great looking bag. I am playing the Epic and Steelhead 16* as well.

 

Have a great 2018 season!

Thank you sir! I think I’m content with the Epic for this year and so far the Steelhead isn’t a disappointment either. Which is fortunate because it was a completely blind purchase, which is normally against my beliefs.

I really wanted to like the T7 for my 58° last year, but the sole grind didn't get along with me very well. I picked this up earlier this afternoon, it seems to sit a little better to my eye.

I picked up a couple of new putter shoes yesterday at Trinity Forest. We had a good time as always, but I think we agree with Kuchar - "I really liked Las Colinas".

Today was a good day. I picked up a new SM7 to replace my old SM5, as well as a backup head for my driver (Tour Issue Fast12 LS)

 

[SetTheBarrHigh]

I had some store credit at the PGA Tour Superstore, so I went with a new set of Stitch head covers.

I appreciate it man. I enjoy updating this thread, so I hope people enjoy seeing the updates as well.

 

I do love that driver! I tend to try something different at least once a year, but past experience tells me I probably need to leave it in the bag.

I sold my 3 wood because I wasn't hitting it well at all. I prefer a smaller head and shorter shaft, so I have a '4 wood' setup with this club. It's lofted down 2º. I'm hitting it solid, but would like to explore a lower launching shaft.

 

[Longballjock]

I'm the exact same when it comes to 3 wood , even if I'm playing it at 13.5 I still want my playing length to be around 42" helps me centre the strike

I almost cut down the three wood, but decided to move it instead. I tested this today on the simulator and it was about 10-12 yards short of a standard length 14.5° G400. What shaft weight do you have in yours?

[Longballjock]

I have just ordered a matrix red tie 85 gram shaft for mine same again playing 42, heavy and short to keep the swingweight decent ?

Very cool, keep me posted on how it goes? I might look into that!

in true WRX fashion, I sold my current set of irons before I had a replacement for them. I tested the 919 Tour, 919 Forged, & i210 this morning and walked away with the Forged. They should be here in a couple of weeks. I also picked up a 4 wood since they came out today.

Love to see a complete over hall let me know how you like the irons when they come I really like the look of them only thing I've considered kicking the Nike VPC out the bag

I think they should be here next week and I'm super excited. I went in thinking I would go with a Forged/Tour combo, but left with Forged through the set. I think the biggest factor for me will be the shafts, I went with a stiffer version to help dispersion a bit. Vapor Pro Combo will be tough to beat, that was such a solid set.

I've always loved Titleist stand bags & with this color scheme, it was a must. I got engaged last week, so definitely wanted to treat myself to something after saving for the ring for so long.

 

[Tingting]

Any reason to buy is sufficient. I got engaged...I lowered my handicap...the sun came up...

[SetTheBarrHigh]

My new irons came in a couple of days ago - Project X LZ 6.0. I haven't had a chance to hit them yet, but we're taking a mini road trip to east Texas to play Pine Dunes on Friday.
