[xracer4844]

i think i am going to attempt to paintfill my wedges. does anyone have any tips or color ideas for me???

i am not really sure what would look nice

[BC Stick]

How is the hM3 in the hybrid? I'm looking at putting one in. Great set up!

How does the Yes! putter perform against the scotty?

The Bag is solid, but if i were you and having played both i15 & s56's stay with you i15's? If you are looking to gain a different feel or something the i15's are as good as it gets in the Ping line-up.. I'm play 7hcp avg at best,and the[size="2"][color="#000000"] S56'sare great when your're dialed in but when i had off days i wished i would have had my i15's in the bag. It was all about distance loss on those mis-hit's...[/color][/size]

[size=5]After about 8 hours on trackman over a couple of days, my fitter and I decided this was the best option for me! A Taylormade r11s with a Graphite Design Tour AD BB-6 shaft. Its cut down an inch. I carry it about 260. My swing speed is between 100-110. It is the most comfortable driver I have owned.[/size]



[size=5]Really not much to say about this RBZ tour 3...My fitter handed it to me with a Motore Speeder VC 7 - hit 3 balls. 265,275,260...Needless to say, I bought it on the spot.[/size]

Why carry the driver with the 3 wood going further? Nice bag.

for me it launches low - nice shaft though - it works perfectly for me. its been super popular in the shop wich was one of the reasons i pulled the trigger

[/quote]

i like them both!! i like being able to switch putters. when im fed up with one or whatever its nice to have a few reliable friends to switch in.

the yes is heavier than my scotty - but i like the way it rolls a ball - to me it just feels really true. i really like the alignment lines as well.

the scotty is a scotty - not much i can say about it. it feels amaznig. looks amazing. rolls amazing. its my favorite.

thanks a lot for this post. i often wondered if i would feel the same way. the i15's are working for me and have a lot of life left in them. i love how solid i hit the s56's and i love the shape of them more so than my i15's......

[xracer4844]

i forgot to say -- its so true a mishit with an i15 for me always still seems to work out for me haha no matter how bad some games are - i always seem to still be okay. i dont lose tons of distance...super forgiving on the rough days.

[xracer4844]

i think i am going to paint my wedges with a white and red colour combo - hopefully i can start this project on the weekend!

i wish i was good at paintfill! i'd love to have more of a theme going! i was thinking maybe doing something with the wedges to start out...

any tips or ideas??
[/quote] A good magnifier like a jewler uses, that is lighted. A set of high quality brushes like a #9 tip or smaller, enamel model paint your color choice and alot...alot of patience. LOVE the YES flat stick.

[xracer4844]

The season is starting here in Canada where I live, have a tee time booked this weekend and hopefully I can hit the range throughout the week, Getting very excited. Nothing has changed in the bag as of yet. I like everything right now. The only thing I believe will change this year are wedges. I'd like to upgrade to some custom SM5's.

Just curious, what led you to cut an inch of length off driver?

[xracer4844]

When we were working on the driver, we tried standard length, 1 inch and 1.5 inch off the driver and 1 inch off produced much more consistency in distance and swing.

It also felt so much more comfortable with my swing - noticeable different. More confident, better stance, and more consistency. Those things are pretty much the most important things I like in a driver.
