Guptown WITB **Updated 2009 Bag**

[guptown]

9015d w/Fubuki, Exotic w/VooDoo, Scratch, KBS, Byron Morgan

Just wanted to update the WITB to match my sig. Again, thanks to all the members on GolfWRX for their advice. I would not have had the chance to demo or research clubmakers like Scratch or Byron Morgan without this forum. My wallet is lighter but my bag for the new season is ready to go!

On to the pics!

Adidas Tour AG Stand bag. The styling and attention to detail is top notch. The Japan issue bags always seemed to be a little nicer than what we had available here but I think the new U.S. Adidas stand bag holds its own very nicely. Lots of pockets. Huge lined pocket for valuables. Insulated pocket. Hidden towel well.

Details on the bag are nice.

Added some Adidas Japan Golf headcovers from TourSpec Golf.

Scratch EZ-1s and Scratch Wedges! Golf Nirvana!!

I've had my Nike SQ Tour driver for almost three years. Great driver. I tried every possible avenue to get another as a backup. But had no success whatsoever. So my desire to find a traditional looking, pear shaped, no alignment aid (man am I picky) driver with great performance led me to the Adams A4 (9015d). Wow! Nice driver. Worthy of the hype. Shafted with Fubuki and white GP New Decade Multi-Compound Grip.

A few months ago, I took advantage of the Taylormade friends and family discount and picked up some r7 CGB max hybrids for less than $70. Pulled the graphite shafts and put in KB Hybrid steel shafts. This makes it KBs across the board with KBS Tours in the irons and KBS black nickels in the wedges.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG-V 3 Wood with VooDoo shaft

Here are the Scratch wedges with KB black nickel shafts. My wedges were refinished by the Iron Factory. You can see the review here.

Byron Morgan 006. Shafted with UST frequency filtered putter shaft and Iomic Grip.

And finally, Taylormade Burners (good winter ball) with Sergio's Osborne bull logo.

So that is it everyone! Have a great 2009 season!!

If you are like most of us on the board, that bag will change sooooooo many times. :huh: Seriously though, you have a nice looking set there! The putter is awesome looking. I hit Mizuno irons myself, and the feel is like no other.

[Dill Pickleson]

thats an awesome setup, nice job on the wedges, u ever consider a job in photography cause those are some superb pictures

[SLIMER39]

That Titleist bag is nice LMK if you ever want to sell it.

[guptown]

Thanks for the compliments!

 

I'm lovin' my bag....... for now....but you never know what will happen with so many great clubs coming out. :drinks:

 

Slimer,

 

If I ever sell the bag I'll look u up.

[sleepy_augusto]

Really great set in a fantastic bag! I'm in love with that putter...

 

And the photos really are top-notch. Tour issue camera imported from Japan? :clapping:

[oregongolf]

That is an awesome bag...

 

You mentioned the finish on the Byron is very durable -- is there any real maintenance?

[guptown]

Thanks again for the compliments guys.

 

Sleepy,

 

I was considering a "tour issue" camera from Japan but ultimately I went with a Circuit City "off the rack" Canon Elph. :clapping:

 

j0n,

 

I wipe the putter down with a Scotty Cameron oil cloth after each round. And wipe it down again with a small amount of cooking oil every 3rd round or so. That's just me being OCD with a new putter though.

 

The finish is remarkably durable. I played yesterday afternoon in 112 deg heat. Putter looks great today as I was practicing my putting on my Boomerang trainer.

Woah, sweeeet bag, diggin' the putter. The wedges look pretty cool too! Nice pics!

[AM92318]

Sick. Love the new bag. That driver combo is awesome.

 

Thanks. Congrats on the antique Scratch irons! Hmmmm.....they're already giving me ideas for WITB 2010!

[bambooluv]

Hehe. That's purdy.

[Luke_Donald]

How are the dividers set up? good looking bag.

[guptown]

How are the dividers set up? good looking bag.

 

Here is a picture that gives the general idea although the shape is a little different (dividers not as "curved" as is seen in this example). Six way lined top. Full length dividers at top, middle and bottom.

 

 

 

[mmp]

Sweet set-up.

 

ON the 006, did you install the UST FF yourself or did you get it crafted that way...also how do you like it?

[mrpheebz]

That is a sweet setup! I have KBS Tour's in my irons and I love them!

[macglock]

awesome setup all around

 

that driver is sick

[Ezgolfer]

Sergio's Osborne bull logo.

How ??

Premarked balls ?

[kekoa]

wait, just to confirm. you like the adams more than the nike tour 460??

[guptown]

Sweet set-up.

 

ON the 006, did you install the UST FF yourself or did you get it crafted that way...also how do you like it?

 

I bought the head only from Byron Morgan Putters and had the UST FF and Iomic installed locally. I like the shaft a lot. The combination of the sound slot, shaft and iomic grip make for a pretty sweet feeling and sounding roll.

 

That is a sweet setup! I have KBS Tour's in my irons and I love them!

 

The KBS tours are very nice. My WITB from last year had Mizunos with Rifle Project X. I like the KBS tours much better. The hybrid steel shafts and wedge shafts by KBS are also very solid performers.

Golf ball stamp. Check out this thread for more info on the stamp.

 

 

wait, just to confirm. you like the adams more than the nike tour 460??

 

Do I like it more? Good question. I've only been playing the Adams for a few weeks so it's hard to say. The Nike was/is a great driver. Let's just say that right now I like them equally as well. ;)

[easyyy]

What a sweet looking bag. Whole setup looks top shelf. I wish I had a setup looking this good. I meant the back yard to. :)

 

That bag looks like a quality build.

[whitepatch342]

im liking the adidas bad and headcovers. Got some really nice custom company stuff. Also i love the shafts

[elchene]

Terrific setup!

[Jack lives here]

Talk me through the KB hybrid shaft.

What is the weight??

What type of ball flight do you get with it??

Thanks :)
