What happened yesterday Stu if I can pry

Could not get any feel and evidently I have gotten stronger because I started hooking them and lost control. Did not have these problems on the range during the week. Was even hooking the snot out of the M-6 with the light shaft. My back is healed but stiff and 2 docs say I can no longer do any structual damage. Will more than likely switch this week to my VIPs or my CF-4000s and go back to my old Honma driver.

And you know I can still hit the 2,3 and 4 irons reasonably well. Not as high or as far but still my little stinger with them will chase and roll and I can basically control them. But hey it ain't how it looks but how many. Yeah a few years back I was playing my Hogan Precisions. Knew on a par 5 I could not hit the green in 2 so I hit a butt ugly waist high 2 iron cut. My smart aleck bud remarked that Ben Hogan rolled in his grave and would probably take that 2 iron from me. Next shot at about 120 or so I jammed that 8 iron in there about 3 feet. Told my bud yeah he would have handed me back that 2iron and said carry on and laid back down. I made birdie and my bud with his whiz bang stuff made 6. My golf has always been ugly but I score by scrambling and with the putter. Yep I am going back to my old way of doing things for me it is more fun

So I have not been on this board for sometime. Long story short June 30th of 2018 I broke my neck in a diving accident. At the time I was still playing 2008 taylormade smoke mb.

I am confined to a power wheelchair now with limited use of my arms and hands so golf is no longer a possibility but if I were still playing today I would still be gaming the Taylor made smokes. I also had a set of wishon 575's cb that i built around 2013, but I preferred to play with the Taylor mades. I really miss golfing and building clubs.

690 cbs 3-pw 

s2h2 3 wood 

200 series chrome vokeys 

newport mid slant pro platinum 

Had a 905t in the bag until a few months ago. 
 

I quit playing for about 15 years.  Started getting back into the game a couple years ago. The one thing that has really improved is the ball. They go so much farther than I’m used to.

My oldest set is from 1998 (ISI-S 4-9, PW, SW) that I picked up for $100 in mint condition.  They'll go in the bag with a set of Callaway Hawk Eye woods (1999) and an original Anser X putter if the USPS will ever deliver the damn thing...

Those old S2 H2 Cally fairways can be a pocket rocket if they are set up with the right shaft combo for a player

FG 17s for me, last produced in ‘83. 

FG 17 are some classic butter knives! My gf's dad has a pair in a shadow box in his mancave that he won a collegiate STAC championship back in his day!

Mizuno T-zoid pros.  Also thinking of grabbing the original Nike forged wedges to round out the bag.  

T-Zoid Pro's are great, I haven't played them in forever due to just switching up the bag over the years, but I have two sets sitting in the basement doing nothing!

I think my entire bag is in the 10 year range now, but for irons I've got a mixed set of 2010 MP Fli Hi long irons and S3 Pro mid/short irons.

I have used a set of Srixon i506 irons off and on for at least ten years. Right now I have some 765’s in the bag but I will never sell the i506’s. 

Playing a set of these as well with TT Black Gold shafts. Also have a set of Pro 100's that I would put in the bag if I played more frequently

I may yet put my i506’s back in the bag. Right now I have a hodgepodge of Srixon irons, with 355’s for 4/5/6 and 765’s from 7-w. I literally ordered an i506 6 iron with a shaft to match the 355’s because I hope it might smooth the transition between the other two types. It’s a sickness!
