Great set

[rockmastermike]

super bag! what can you say aboutyour 3W and hybrid...been thinking about giving those particular ones a try-out

[sanddog28]

Both of them have worked great for me all summer, i replaced a 15* Vsteel and an original Hogan 3 hybrid, both of these clubs have given me a lower more penetrating ball flight and the Cleveland has a much more square setup so the tendency to loose the shot left isn’t as prevalent as it was with the Hogan.

One of the best looking bags I have ever seen, and the irons are pure beauty!

Nice paint fill on the wedges, subtle but love the colors.

[sanddog28]

Thanks beachbum, after seeing all the nice paint fills on here i thought i would give it a try, isn't quite as noticeable because of the black pearl finish but this being my first try at it i like how they turned out.

Nice Bag, a lot of business with a touch of flare.

[TM golf guy]

Nice bag. Don't see to many STX putters out there.

[sanddog28]

Its one of those things I picked up about 5 years ago and really loved the feel the soft insert helping with touch and at the time and evening out some of those bad strokes, that being said my putting really has outgrown this putter and sadly after quite a few years of service this is its last season.

Very nice setup!

[iyan7]

Sanddog28, what's the brand of your bag? Looks good.

[sanddog28]

iyan7 its a Sunmountain C130, i have been a loyal Ogio person for years until i wanted a bag with individual dividers, my salesman at edwin watts pointed me in the direction of this bag and i am so glad he did, its the best bag i have ever had. here is a link to the bag on sunmountains site... http://www.sunmountain.com/default.php?cPath=3182_3273

very nice bag, i was wondering wondering what your handicap is playing those irons, i was thinking of picking up a set of those but don't know if they will be forgiving enough for what I want, BTW, my handicap is a 16( take into condideration i am only 14)

[sanddog28]

Golfnike, I think these irons are very forgiving for irons that fall into the player category. My handicap is a 11, and it was a 16 when I made the purchase the catch was that I finally had the time to start taking some lessons of late learning to make better contact as well as work the ball and needed to get out of the super forgiving game improvement iron range but I also knew that I was not ready for a set of blades. I think if you have the chance to demo them and like the way they feel, that they would fit into you game exactly like they did mine, giving you a solid club with enough forgiveness to enjoy but still has that room to grow into. But if you are coming from a game improvement iron be ready for a little growing pains, these irons don’t let you get away with as many of the little sloppy swings as the game improvement irons. After that first month I really began to enjoy the new irons and have loved playing them ever since.

[golfnike]

thanks for the input sanddog, i know what your saying. Im coming from a set of what i find to be not a game improvement irons, definately not in our day, the Ping ISI-S. One of the main factors of this is that i learned to golf for about 6 years with a set of old spalding blades, and the everyone who saw them says if you can hit those irons, you can hit anything. Everytime i try an iron with a big sole, i cant adjust to it, I need to have good feel, and when the prices go down on these, i hope to put some n my bag, or wait a bit and get a good set off ebay.

PS: If you ever think of selling them i hope im the first one you contact LOL( im sure you wont be selling them)

Finally updated the pics for my 2008 bag, thanks for the replies....

very nice!! How do you like the wedges?

[sanddog28]

I switched from a 3 wedge setup with Cleveland cg12's and have loved every minute of it, the feel is so much better, and I have more confidence with the new setup the 52 57 seems to work so much better for me than my old 52 56 60. Don’t let all the ball shredding threads throw you off it takes a month or so but I don’t do any more damage to a ball now that a spin mill would.
