Pga_Apprentice's Bag w/ PICS....UPDTATED 11-06!

[pga_apprentice]

Some OLD Skool and NEW Skool...

I've essentially been playing this bag for the last 2 or 3 months. Interesting how often we go back to what we KNOW was good! I'll probably be looking into the new R7 TP irons after Christmas, but for now things are just EZ-PEEZY! Thanks for stopping by...

DRIVER: R510 TP Tour 9.5° '06 ACCRA SE 80* M5 flex

3W: Titleist 906F2 15° Graphite Design YS-Power 85-TX flex

2iron: Srixon Hybrid AD 18° Aldila NV Hybrid 105-X

3iron: Srixon Hybrid AD 21° Aldila NV Hybrid 105-X

4-PW: '04 RAC LT Dynamic Gold X100

SW/LW: Gauge Design Type A Forged 53° & 58° Dynamic Gold S300

Putter: ***WARNING*** Photos MAY BURN YOUR EYEBALSS RIGHT OUT OF THE SOCKET!!! Easily one of THE most unattractive putters out, but seems to roll the rock pretty good - YES! Tiffany

Ball: Srixon UR-S or Taylor Made TP Red

whoa, sweet bag. those srixon wedges look awesome. Just why do you have a launcher cover on your j33r?

[pga_apprentice]

LOL...I've had a strange fascination with the Launcher headcover ever since Cleveland went with the white accents. :busted_cop: I'm really anxious to try the Srixons given how fond I was of the I-302 irons.

Updated pics. :vava:

Really great looking bag. Change of pace for me. Never see those heads around here.

Thanks! When I first got the :vava: bug, I was HUGE into the Japanese equipment. I have slowly made my way back.

Nice bag, I was just looking at the Srixon wedges, how are they? They look great.

[pga_apprentice]

The Srixons are very nice! Soft as butter. Spin the ball nicely as well, but that may be a result of their newness. These high bounce models are excellent in soft conditions, but have just a tad too much bounce for firm fairways and tight lies. A true sleeper in the wedge market.

[stickman]

nice bag sweet irons and driver!

[pga_apprentice]

Thanks, Stick! :vava:

I'm really liking the looks of that hybrid. It looks very square with very little offset. How's your distance with it? And the Srixon wedges have some major looking grooves. Did they eat up that HX Tour? :D Nice set up! :vava:

PB,

 

You are correct about the Srixon hybrid...dead square with little to no offset. I smooth it about 230 with the stock stiff shaft. As for the wedges, they do put some serious revolutions on the ball. Between the cartpath, palm tree, and wedges, the HX tour didn't stand much of a chance! :D

I pretty sure the hosel size is .370, but I'll ask my club guy tomorrow. Long time, my friend...how have you been? :D

I may just have to try and pick up one of those hybrids. It looks very sweet and too sweet not to at least try once!

[pga_apprentice]

T-Dog,

 

The hosel size on the Srixon is .370.

[Riuzzi]

Very nice bag! :vava: I agree with Pitbull, that Srixon hybrid looks great!

 

1.5??

Ru,

 

I installed midsize grips on the clubs and noticed how much lighter the heads felt. My club guy swingweighted the set and found that all the irons needed 1.5 more points to get back to D4.

[LittleGolfer51]

nice bag sweet irons and hybrid

[bumpNrun24]

Sweet set going there!! I love pretty much anything Bridgestone, so the irons are good to go! :D :vava:

[pga_apprentice]

Thanks, Bump! The only thing I would even consider moving is my J33R for the X-Drive 405...that thing is $$$ :vava:

Stick with Srixon man. I dont think you can find better equipment.

[pga_apprentice]

The I-302s are the softest irons I have had to date. That being said, the J33s combos I'm playing now have kept me from looking back to the days of the Srixons. Easily one of the most underrated companys on the market.

[Qualitydaydream]

Great Images! Great Bag! Its so much better when people know how to take good pix! :vava:

[pga_apprentice]

Appreciate it! I took some time to study other WITB pics and tried to duplicate those I liked the most. BTW, when are you going to post YOUR WITB pics?!?! :vava:

[mr.titleist]

How do you like the brdgestone driver. I was thinkg about one when I was in the market but I could find a demo anywhere to hit.

The Bridgestone has been in the bag for almost 4 months now. I was totally committed to my R7 Tour before and had no intentions of swapping it out. However, I found the Bridgestone to be as long or longer than my R7 and feel much better. My first thought was a 400cc 975D on anabolic steroids! :vava: Being low spin is also a plus given my swing speed. A great driver at a great price, in my humble opinion.
