Teebs' WITB

[Teebs]

Hi all,

 

Just returning to the game after a 8 year break - Took up cycling and became a Father - but back now and trying to get competitive again on a club level..

 

Most of these are new to the bag, heck, i've not even hit the i230's on the course yet...

 

• Callaway Rogue ST Max 10.5 - Tensei Blue stiff shaft - Golf Pride MCC Align mid-size (2 wraps)
• Callaway Rogue ST Max 3HL - Tensei Blue stiff shaft - Golf Pride MCC Align mid-size (2 wraps)
• Ping G430 3 Hybrid - Hzrdus Smoke Red 6.0 - GP Align
• Ping G430 4 Hybrid - Hzrdus Smoke Red 6.0 - GP Align
• 5-GW - Ping i230 - Dynamic Gold 120s - Golf Pride Align mid-size (2 wraps)
• Titleist Vokey SM5 54 - Standard grip / shaft
• Titleist Vokey SM9 K Grind 58 - Standard grip/shaft
• Odyssey Toulon Daytona Beach 34" - SS Claw grip
• Titleist StaDry 15 Bag
• Titleist Prov1 / V1x - (need to do a little more testing once I bed the irons in a little)
• ShotScope Pro LX

 

For those keenly eyed amongst us, you'll notice I have only 13 clubs. Currently waiting for the Ping G430 Hybrid range to be launched in the UK and I will get a 24 degree to fill the gap left by having no 4 iron (200 yard club).

Only futher changes may be to the Apex UW depending on how the shaft treats me (might need to go a little softer)

 

Will keep it updated!

Solid bag and nice clear photos.  How do you like the Rogue HL?  I am looking to put one in the bag this year.  Moved away from the 3W a few years back and went strictly with a 5W.  Now that I am hitting it better, I thought a 4W or HL might be a nice compromise.

Thanks! 😁

 

3HL is good but I only picked it up towards the end of September so I've had minimal course time with it - just need to build the confidence as it's brilliant at the range and just need to move that to the course..

Would love to have that Daytona... Awesome bag!

[Teebs]

After a little further testing, I think the Tensei White in the Apex UW is a little stout for me and my swing. Will keep it in the bag, but going to try and demo some alternatives over the Spring

 

Apex UW - Tensei Blue

G430 - Hzrdus Smoke Red

 

The head on the Apex UW is hot...

Tensei Apex UW now for sale on eBay. Can't decide between Apex UW and G430 7 wood..

UW sold pretty quickly and handed over. Have ordered the same again with Tensei Blue 65g to try and bring the SW down a little and launch up..

 

Should be 10 days or so..

21° UW hasn't arrived yet...

 

G430 Hybrid fitting booked for next Thursday. Be interesting to compare the Ping Tour against the Hzrdus Smoke Red...

[Teebs]

21° UW won't be arriving, club has been discontinued according to Callaway..

 

Back to the drawing board, thinking of going 19° & 22° G430 Hybrid and playing around with the lofts to get the desired gapping right. I have a fitting booked on Thursday...

[Teebs]

G430 fitting went well, ended up with 

 

19° 3 Hybrid / Hzrdus Smoke Red 6.0

22° 4 Hybrid / Hzrdus Smoke Red 6.0

 

Picked up today and managed a very quick range session

 

3 Hybrid

Average 140 ball speed / 215 carry / 230 total / circa 85ft peak height

 

4 Hybrid

133 ball speed / 190 carry / 205 total / circa 95ft peak height

 

Not 100% sure how accurate the TopTracer range was/is.

Both clubs are great, really impressed with the numbers and trajectory of the 3...

Interesting outcome! Those look great. I have a G430 3H and love it so far. How’d the HZRDUS compare to other hybrid shafts you tried? Was the 7 wood in the mix at all, and if so, why’d it lose out?

Thanks! The Hzrdus is a bit heavier than other shafts I have / have used in the past bit produced the best numbers overall.

Have tried the Ping Tour and Tensei Orange for the 3&4 previously which were good but the Hzrdus won out overall.

 

Had demo'd a 7 wood previously but I'm better and more confident with a hybrid against a wood - I think my actions suits them better. 

[Teebs]

Slightly better images

 

[CDLgolf]

Great set up. I have the same basic set  just a few models older. (Mavrik woods with i200 irons and g25 hybrids)

[dwinch]

Really solid bag! That Daytona looks mint.

[Teebs]

Thanks. I'm only really getting back into the game after 8/9 years away so I've missed tons of new stuff.

[Teebs]

4H is going well..

 

[Teebs]

Few months into the new set up now and it's all going very well indeed.

 

3H and 4H G430s are just brilliant, can't praise them enough tbh. 4H is my 190 carry club, 3H is 205 carry (still wet ground at the moment). The 4H has saved me multiple strokes this season so far.

 

The irons are sublime and all the good press and rave reviews are correct.

 

I've even sorted my putting out (alignment issues caused my dominant left eye and not using any aid to line up the putts) - now using Callaway Triple Track with great success.
