After a month of Tinkering - My 2020 WITB!

[tigerfan23]

Woods - CURRENTLY PLAYING A SIM MAX WITH TOUR AD DI 6

SIM MAX 15 WOOD WITH TOUR AD DI 7

SIM MAX HYBRID 19 DEG TOUR AD DI 85

 

Sim - Diamana Black 65s

I was fitted for a TS3 but the Sim Max was just more forgiving enough that I went with it. Good hits on most drivers were the same but bad hits on the Sim Max were just better than the rest.

After 6 rounds the Driver has been amazing. (Found it a bit Left once the season started and I had some more SS)

Switched to SIM and it's amazing. So long.

 

 

Sim Max 3 Wood - Stock Shaft

Like most "forgiving" Fairway TM fairway woods they are long and awesome. This once launches higher than the M6 Rocket I played last year but the rocket was slightly longer. This one is Really easy to hit off the deck. Again I hit it left and the stock shaft was way too light

(SIM MAX FAIRWAY BETTER THAN SIM, MAX WITH DI 7 INCOMING)

 

Hybrid - 19 Deg Sim Max - Tour AD DI 85

This hybrid is so good. So easy to hit, high launching and perfect amount of release. Love it.

 

Irons -- CURRENTLY PLAY T100 PX 6.0

 

2020 has been a stupid year.

Had MP53s in the bag on and off for 12 years. Played them most of 2019. The best irons I've ever used.

Got fitted for PxG 0311T this winter - took them to florida and struggled with the long irons. Gave them to a friend

Ordered 0311P instead - Hated them - they were huge and felt horrible compared to the T.

tired / demoed - T100 (Same as any other Ap2 - solid all around, Excellent irons may put them in play)

MP 20 MMC - Hated them - felt 'thin'.. Haven't been impressed with mizuno MP irons in a long time.

 

 

Wedges - CURRENTLY PLAYING SM8 52 56S 60M WITH PX 6.0

 

SM8 so far have been amazing. 52 56S 60M was a winning Combo. They look and feel great.

I "might" add a 54M and dump the 52 56 to dumb things down a bit

New Setup

Demoed the D Grind. The 60D is so good. I clip the D grind so clean. I'm a sweeper and these fit me great. The M grind is also great but the little extra bounce prevents me from Digging.

I have 54 and 60 D (After a few rounds I will likely switch back to my standard 52 56s 60m combo)

 

Putter - 2020 newport 2.

I always play newport or newport 2. I liked the newport 2 more this year. A putter is a putter for me. I tried the 2020 Squareback it sounded horrible.

currently demoing a odyssey triple track 2 ball. I look like a clown but its super easy to line up

beautiful clubs

how do the MMC compare to T100

[skaileh]

Gorgeous bag. Hit em well!

[Finaus_Umbrella]

There is something so satisfying seeing them still in plastic. I can almost hear the crinkle of the wrappers being removed.

Great looking set of clubs, now go have a great round with them tomorrow!

[MSB16]

You left the plastic on just to make us jealous! Play well

[chipa]

Those are some pretty irons. I've always loved blade type cavity backs since the 90's.

[Z1ggy16]

The T20's are very underrated wedges IMO. A little thick top line compared to say MD5 or Vokey but they feel really nice.

[tigerfan23]

So my first round with the MMC had mixed results.

 

The Irons are good - they don't quite feel as "solid" as the T100.

The wedges are fantastic. They spin like crazy. But I don't like how they don't have the numbers on the sole - It's annoying having to move them around to look at the loft.

The HMB 3 iron was crap but I never hit driving irons well so it's just me.

 

I love my woods and putter even though today was an off day.

 

I think the T100 will be in the bag for 2020 along with the SM8.

 

 

[BostonWRX]

I had the MMCs. Thought they felt real good but sole grind really dug on me. Switched to the t100-S and the preworn leading edge has made a really big difference for me. I would say the T100-S feel a little more stable then then mizunos. They are in my bag with SM8s which I also to find way better then other vokeys

[tigerfan23]

The SM8 are unreal.

I ordered the Mizuno set way back in Feb but they just arrived after UPS sent them back to mizuno then held my package for a month.

I will give them another go - 2 more rounds this weekend but I'm almost 100% sure the T100 and SM8 will be in the bag.

As a matter of fact i will probably list the MMC right now lol.

 

 

[chipa]

Those T100's are beauties too. When I first started playing golf in the 90's forged blade type cavity backs were hard to find, especially for someone on a budget. I currently have a soft cast version that the good shots feel close to blades that fit my budget but it's also nice to dream about the best examples of this genre.

[BostonWRX]

I agree I think they finally eliminated the harsh vokey feel with the SM8s not sure how

[staysober for golf]

Solid!

[tigerfan23]

picked up a really sick titleist hybrid 5 bag. No logo No Writing. Just my clubs small logo on the ball pocket. Such a great bag.

 

 

[CDLgolf]

Great set up. Where did you get the Titleist bag with no logos ? It looks awsome.

[tigerfan23]

 

from my club - it's so great.

[Golfnut1738]

Did you try the sim titanium 3 wood or just went straight to the max? I have the regular sim driver and cant make my mind up on the wood.

[tigerfan23]

 

Ive switch to SIM driver - its amazing. Not sure Im waiting to Demo Sim TI vs Sim Max - I think I want to try the Sim TI.

 

[Golfnut1738]

That's what I am thinking as well

[tigerfan23]

MP53 in the bag.... until the 0311T show up!

 

 

[BostonWRX]

0311T are unreal. Have you hit Miura 201s yet?

[shoot4par]

D grind that good? I was looking at wedges and thought that it would be perfect. Unfortunately, I bought sm7s last year and the D I didn't see offered until I bought them. Good looking WITB.

[stevieG917]

Solid bag there! Mizzy Irons and TMag woods in my bag as well.

[beluga99]

Sweet bag and set up. Woods, irons and wedges look so clean. I am curious about the Sim MAX. Some good buzz around that head.

[tigerfan23]

 

still not convinced on the D. The M is better from the tight packed sand I play in.

I ve tried and do try every few years to switch to 2 wedges - I can't leave 52 56 60. Going back. Probably doing S in 56 and M in 60.

 

 

[tigerfan23]

couple updates

 

sim woods with tour ad di 6 in driver di 7 in max 3 wood and 85h in hybrid

The sim woods are legit, maybe the best I ever hit. Long straight and easy to hit in the air. I love them

 

T100 and SM8 with PX6.0 just arrived. I played 714 with PX and loved them. Hopefully the T100 will be just as good!

 

using a triple track 2 ball for a putter right now but I hate it. But I haven't missed a short putt since buying it so its staying in the bag for a bit I guess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[KC13]

Solid set up above.

 

What are your thoughts on the SIM Max hybrid so far? Have been hearing a lot of good things about it.

 

KC

[tigerfan23]

just got it - hit it 3 times all 3 hits were awesome.

I love it.

 

[tigerfan23]

irons are legit!

 

 

[staysober for golf]

Rocking!!!!
