cvhookem63's WITB


Recommended Posts

Picked up a new 3 wood to test out. I wasn't really looking for a new 3 wood - I have my gamer Nike Vapor Fly and a Backup that looks identical, but I picked up this Tour Issue TaylorMade M2 Tour T3 Fairway for cheap. I picked up a couple of used Fuji Rombax P95x shafts a while back just for this purpose. I was looking at possibly an M5/M6 Rocket, but this will work as well. It weighs 220g - so a little more than my Nike VF (216g with adapter). The spec sticker is partially pulled off, but it looks like the loft is 13.8 and the lie angle is 60*.

I thought the Tour heads felt great and are absolutely canons.

I agree. I haven't had a ton of time with it yet (it has been 95*+ here for a month), but I like it so far. It definitely feels good, and the low loft makes it come out of there like a cannon for sure. I love the ball flight with this thing.

So I had a first today. Sent some MP-18 heads, the Engage/Artisan 46, an Engage 50 & 54, a TM Tour Hi Toe 60, and a P95 fairway TM Tour head off to be built up. The package showed up to him missing everything but the Engage 54 and the P95. I’m devastated. The Engage/Artisan 46* wedge absolutely can’t be replaced, and that was my last Engage 50*. Somebody from USPS had to have opened it, taken the wrapped up heads out, and put tape back on. So much for new clubs anytime soon. I trust him to not be lying, so I guess we’ll try to file a claim. A crappy way to end a week.

So mad. I had been working on putting that set together for months now. A combination of Tour Issue stuff and a custom combo set of irons. I sent it off so that I could get them built up in time for a long weekend golf trip I am going on in mid-June. The golf course opened up and gave us the green light, so we are going to make it work. I used my stamps.com account to ship, and they have a third party claims group that handles their claims. I submitted it, but that money isn't going to be able to replace what was in that box.

 

I did pivot to a set of raw milled grind wedges that I am going to have him build up quickly assuming those don't get stolen by USPS as well. Definitely a disappointing turn of events. At least they left me the Rombax P95 shaft since those are getting tough to find haha...

I can do simple club assembly, but I am not set up to swingweight anything. I wanted to increase the SW a bit from stock. I wanted to make sure these were done right, so I sent them off to BryanGolf in Florida. He is working on opening up his own fitting & club building location after he was let go from Club Champion due to the pandemic. I typically have Will Peoples build up my stuff for me, but he couldn't get to it in time for me to have them before the trip. I wanted to support Bryan, and still do. I don't blame him at all for anything being stolen. I've got the replacement wedge heads headed to him now, and we'll have to figure out what I want to do about irons later, but I am putting that on hold for now. If there is a small silver lining, at least I won't be changing irons right before a competitive golf trip.

Update on the USPS theft issue: I filed a claim with the Postal Service Inspector General's Office. I got a phone call today from a Special Agent who works on these internal mail theft claims. We had a good information gathering discussion, and I sent him pictures of the missing items. I even had shots of the serial numbers on some of them. One thing weird is I dropped the package off here in East Texas, and the first record of the package being scanned is when it arrived at a sorting facility in Florida. He agreed there should have been a history of the steps it took to get there. Hopefully he can determine something.

Haven't updated this in a while. Here is the current WITB:

 

Recently added the Mizuno T22 wedges to the bag. I have been working in the 60* and find myself going back to my TM Hi Toe 60* while I get used to the T22. The Hi Toe just works for me. 

 

I have a Fujikura Ventus TR 8-TX on the way for the driver and Ventus Red 9-TX on the way for the 3-wood. I have been hitting the SIM2 woods well, so I haven't made the switch to Stealth yet. I have had success with the Speeder TR 857 that I was fit into on the trip to Fujikura a couple of years ago, but I have been itching to try the Ventus TR. It may be time to move on from the Rombax P95 shafts in my fairways as well. We'll see how I hit the Ventus Red.
