Ms. Santa knew I "needed" a custom head cover. Stitch helped her make a beauty!! I think it is a "Circle S", but Stitch offers it as their Dancing S design.

I think that would be a great project. I have a couple people who could do something in wood. Of course I am always looking for an old Rossa display.

You should definitely look into picking up an R15. The carry was about 6 yards longer over the SLDR with about 200 RPM's less spin. I always say anything over 5 yards is worth an upgrade for me. The only thing I had was that it sets up a little more closed than the SLDR did. I can pretty much get use to anything so it won't bother me too much.

Thanks for the info. There is no doubt I will get R15 460. Will it be black or white?! Haha. Probably white though.

Catching up on the Christmas exchange between Zach Heusser, Dave Feldman and myself.

New Navy TaylorMade hat, Team hat from Notre Dame de Namur University where Zach is the Golf coach and a Super Stroke Ultra Slim 1.0

And from Dave Feldman

JDM white TaylorMade grip, "The Clint" Scotty Cameron pivot tool and "The Clint" Tin-Cup ball marker w/pouch.

I have added a couple putters to my growing collection!!

First up a nice Daytona TP 1-02. It has an few interesting features that caught my eye. The platinum finish is not a normal finish for the line and it also has a sight dot, not the normal sight line. Made out of carbon steel.

[attachment=2560937:image.jpg]

This last one shows the differences

[attachment=2560941:image.jpg]

Next up is great looking long neck. A Tour Monaco, this is one that Zach, Dave and I text back and forth about. Well, the first one too!! Lol. The long neck allows this to be very close to face balanced. These rarely are made for retail. Similar to the DA-22 Ghost Tour I already have. Also full carbon steel.

Thanks, Zach. These are so much fun to find. I appreciate it!

[Ed Settle]

I was able to get out on the course yesterday. I got out on a great course south of Indy, in Seymour, In. Shadowood is great option, especially for us southsiders. First chance to test on course 2 new clubs. More pictures to follow, but here is a hint.

[attachment=2578663:image.jpg]

It may have been 50°, not everything was thawed! A couple flags were still frozen in the cup!! Still good to get out.

Can't wait to hear how the SLDR v R15 battle goes. I'm really wondering...not what head R15 you're playing...I'm wondering what shaft you went with.

Decided to check on your WITB as I'm itching for a new driver even though the SLDR is still solid for me.

I went with the stock Speeder 661 TS (460 model) and so far I am very happy with it. I had the 6.3 TS in the SLDR and they feel similar. The course was in varying stages of thaw. So wet and damp and some spots hard as a rock. But, I had good distance with it. And great sound. Nice crack or pop if you find the sweet spot.

[lvmike]

I should've known better. You're not helping the 'save $ and pay down bills' resolution for 2015...like that was gonna last anytime past the merchandise show!

Thanks for your insight.

Don't know if I'll get to hit them head to head other than in a big box simulator so really appreciate the comparison. I got to hit one last month as Taylormade Experience (formerly the Callaway Center) here in Vegas got a bunch of demos. Unfortunately, been fighting a little tendinitis so wasn't able to really get any good numbers.

[scratchswinger]

Where did you find the 4 iron UDI? I have been looking for one of those.

I have to thank my Mental Coach Zach Heusser for that. Right when they came out a couple hit eBay. One w/BIN and 1 w/auction. Bought the BIN pretty quick because the auction was going up quick. Really nice club. I hit it a lot better than a regular 4 iron. Good off the tee also. Really hoping the rumors are true about a new one this year.

I heard they were releasing more lofts in these for this year. I just got the 20* 3 iron. Has an X100 in it which I usually don't like too much but it's performing really well in spite of that. I'd imagine the 4 would be really nice as well.

Nice bag by the way!

Thank you! The UDI 4-iron really hits the gap for me. In distance it's really close to my SLDR
5 hybrid. But I have a bit more confidence with it off the tee

And to add one more thing about my mental swing coach, Zach. Once he gave me the single most important swing thought I've ever received I've been lights out since.

He told me, and I'm kind of paraphrasing here,

"WTFrick are you doing!! Just hit the stupid ball!"

[lvmike]

My buddy picked up a UDI 3 iron a month ago. Hits it more consistently than his Burner 6 iron. I've tried it but only manage 185 out of it. He hits it about 220.

Not sure if the 4 irons are harder to find, but he picked his up from Taylormade Experience here in Vegas. Operated by Las Vegas Golf & Tennis.

My bad. I figured something had to be up. I didn't follow the UDI discussions all that much. As a sweeper swing, I tend to migrate toward wood like utilities...regardless of how cool I think it would be to hit a 230 yd frozen rope with a 2 iron. Saw Sergio do this at the Sony Open some years back. My mouth literally dropped open as he stuck it to 10 feet.

I guess not everything will fit into the box. I think Zach is sleeping with some of my putters....
