Ed Settle Rogue ST Driver/3W, X Forged Star Irons, Forged wedges, 2022 Toulon Garage Putters!

[TheKrushh]

I think people practicing the wrong stuff is one of the biggest hinderances to getting better. Wedges, partial wedges, putting, pitching, and more putting. = low scores

Good for you Ed!

So what's the verdict on tour vs atv grind on the ef series?

As I've said before with all the EF wedges, the soles are narrower than last year's wedge. I like the fact that the 47° and the 52° have the single bounce of the tour grind. But with the 56 and the 60 I'm glad that they have the ATV grind I like opening them up and still having some bounce.

U sir are a tmag whore. Nice to see this type of brand loyalty. Tks for sharing

[Puppetmaster]

Love the look and feel of R15 hybrid, let us know how you like it. I haven't actually found the need for another hybrid yet because the 18* UDI I have is so darn long.

I find the hybrid more consistent out of the rough. I have the 23* and do see how easy it can be to hit. The hybrid has been good so far.

[TheKrushh]

That hybrid looks awesome! What are you thinking of it as a hybrid vs UDI comparison? I've been playing an Adams hybrid but I might have to try that R15. Looks like a rocket launcher.

[PeanutsDaddy]

Ed,

I really dig all of the putter pictures that you post. You have amassed an amazing collection.

Cheers,

Mike

[BrOhioGolfer216]

Great looking bag, wow

I really like the 23* UDI. But the hybrid is better out of the thick rough and a bit longer of the tee.

Trying to fill gaps, I guess. The UDI did take the place of a SLDR 5 (23*) hybrid so, it is something to ponder.

As far as the hybrid, look around for something open. Some of the retail heads looked a little closed.

I think I need to add to this and hope you see it. The Tour Grind makes for a really versatile wedge. I am in love with my 52* and I wonder if I really need the ATV on the 56/60. Probably do! I am close though to dropping the 60 and add another hybrid or UDI. Another member here, jll62, like the Tour Grind on his 60* because the leading edge is closer to the ground when he opens the club face. Hope that helps.

[Ed Settle]

Played in an outing Wednesday on short tight course in Eastern Indiana. Nothing short about this par 3. 215 for the men, par 4 for the ladies. Hilltop to hilltop.

[attachment=2949492:image.jpg]

Used my #4 UDI to get to the left fringe.

[Puppetmaster]

I've played a few holes like that in my life, not only are they long, it's all carry too. No chance of running anything up on that if you're a little short.

[Ed Settle]

Exactly, we had the damp, cooler weather Wednesday the east coast is getting now, 70° and overcast. Nothing plugged but carry was king. Didn't really get much roll.

[Ed Settle]

Recently, liking the UDI #4/23*, I decided to pick up a #2 and drop the 60* wedge out of the bag. Great on short par 4's, tight driving holes. Haven't needed to hit from the fairway. Nice options.

[TheKrushh]

Not sure if you've hit or are thinking about the M1 but it is amazing. Probably Taylormade's best driver since the burner super fast. I was surprised I haven't seen you with one yet. Good luck with the game!

[/quote]

You know, I have avoided the M1! I hit my R15 so well, I am afraid to mess with success. I am sure I will hit it at sometime in the future. Very happy with my bag right now, although I could always be "interested" in a new putter. LOL

A couple pictures from Otter Creek golf course. About 1 hr south of Indianapolis, IN opened in the 60's, it has held quite a few State Ams. Fuzzy Zoeller and Jeff Overton have won State Ams there.

Okay, I can never leave well enough alone! A thread on this Gosh Darn site was talking about how good the Adams VST 3 woods are. Well, found one on eBay for cheap. Put in a Speeder 757 and it is in the bag for a trial. hit it twice in my last round and think this combo at 15* is higher than my AB 3HL (16.5*) Matrix prototype.

I didn't see it but thanks in part to my favorite player winning (Justin Rose ) I looked into them again and added a lightly used 56* atv grind.....amazing club.....so good that I don't think I need a gap wedge....hitting the 56 full about 110 , which is good for me .....so my thinking is to vary my grinds and ordered a 60* tour grind ala Rose!

Go for it! I have it in my head that what I need to do is drop the 56 and 60 and add a Tour Grind 58. The problem with winter, is I will change my bag more in the next 3 months than I have for the last 5!!

[Ed Settle]

Dropping the 56/60 out of my bag and adding a R Series 58/10 Tour Grind. Shafted up tonight with Modus 130 S and Lamkin grip.

Picked up this very nice-looking ghost tour black putter. It has a few unique features the most obvious being the 80/20 insert. The retail version has the milled face insert. Also the bottom is done in the same matte finish as the top. I thought it felt heavy when I open the box. Weighed it on my scale 353.5 grams!! Going to add a shaft and see how it rolls!

Had the Ghost Tour putter and Adams 3 wood in the bag for the trip to Myrtle Beach. Both performed just as I had hoped. Putter has deadly on Thursday and gave a chance to razz my buddies a bit. Don't ask about Friday! ?

The 3 wood is very long and high. Really easy to hit and I actually hit this higher than the last 2 TM HL(SLDR and AB) 17* 3 woods I have used.

[10yardslonger]

Any more pics of the tour grey shaft in that putter? Looks pretty cool
