Pure745's WITB

[cota0429]

I love that softness of that putter. Nice pick up

[scratchswinger]

Long neck?

[J13]

No TX in the Pro 2.0?

[Pure745]

Long neck?

 

Yep.

 

I want new irons, the 716's are thrashed and V grind is pretty much destroyed. Can't believe how expensive the 718 stuff is, to duplicate my current set 3-9 is almost $1100 with a slight discount. Then add the SM7's and we're at almost $2K for clubs I'm going to re-shaft!

 

Was really close to getting a combo set in the TM stuff, and the Cally MB raws are speaking to me.. although I promised myself no more Callaway :tongue:

You mean these ? How good do they look ;)

[Golfingfanatic]

Maybe time for another DW set? :tongue:

[Pure745]

Lol, only in 7iron and down :) Getting too old to hit blades.

Pretty much the reason why I am not going Titleist with my next set.... Callaway, TM and others offer a ton of premium shafts at no cost.

 

I personally am going all Callaway this year.

I won’t believe it until I see pictures of them in your WITB and a full review.

You feeling alright, bruh? Running a fever perhaps? :cheesy:

 

Joking aside, the X Forged, MB irons, and the MD4 wedge are exceptional.

[PreppySlapCut]

Cough, MP-18, cough...putter looks pure.

[easyyy]

Ari got the band back together again. McCoy and Don White are doing sets again. PM FairwayFred and he will tell you about it.

[IH823PUTT]

MP-18...limited offset, and blends beautifully. Went from 716's to MP-18 combo w/Modus 125X. They're just better.

I think it's P. Boyd, that's brought the band back together. ;)

 

All good again and there is definitely a "balance in the force" again.

It was a collaborative effort between P Boyd and I! 4 person band.

Were excited to be back!

Glad the gang is back together!

So what's the deal? Any final press release or something about it? I've been following Patrick's creations on instagram, but would like to know more specifics if you have it, thanks Ari and congrats!

That's awesome to hear, will it be Scratch again or stay under the National Custom Works name? Really looking forward to hearing the specifics when the time comes for a full release.

[Pure745]

Alright.. the time has come.. new setup for 2018. Mainly irons, ball..

 

This is going to sound crazy, but I think the 917D3 is one of the best drivers I've owned. On course performance, accuracy really stands out.. distance I feel could be a little longer, but not willing to sacrifice the playability I have with it to eek out 5-10 more yards. First driver in a while that I can work both ways with out manipulating my swing a lot to do so. As of now, I have no plans to test any other drivers at all. The shaft in it now is the Atmos Black 7tx, I have the new Pro 2.0 but it needs to be tipped, and I'm thinking it might be a better profile in my 3 wood. 3 wood has been pretty good, but not amazing.

 

Irons.. the fun part. After my surgery, I went graphite, and really haven't looked back. Recently I hit some heavier steel shafts and started to miss the stability and lower flight by nature. I love the shock absorption so, I'm trying to find the best of both worlds. I won't spend the $$ without getting fit so I have a fitting set for next week with Titleist. I'm very interested to see what the graphite setup does on Trackman and from there I'm interested to see what I actually get fit to. My action is a little different now compared to pre-surgery for the better. I'm a lot flatter into the hitting zone than before and thus changing my positions at impact. I don't want to go back to the X100 but I feel like that's the safe play, but really interested to see what the numbers say. Planning on keeping the same heads as well, but again, waiting to see if something crazy is revealed in this fitting.

 

Ball.. I recently switched back to the '17 ProV1x. I REALLLLY missed the spin this ball has around the greens. If I could pick it apart, I wish it was a little lower launching and spinning. Maybe something between this and the TP5X. I think the new ProV1 is that, but I hit it on the course and didn't like it. With that in mind, I will want my new setup to accommodate for the ball a well. The greens at my course are so fast right now that the extra spin around the greens has been a life saver.

 

Wedges - going to get the SM7's and keep the V grind in the 60 for sure and maybe the 54.

 

I only got 50 rounds in last year.. which for me is really low. Starting to get my game back a bit, still have really high rounds out of nowhere and low ones too - need to keep it consistent. Part of the high rounds are because my home course is really hard and the greens have been diabolically fast. 12-13 with severe slope. Had SCGA team play, rounds were 71,77,77,75 and my record was 1-1-2. Yes, 2 ties! Ugh. Anyways, good to get under the grind again.. I'm anticipating playing a lot more tourneys this year and playing some really nice tracks :knock on wood:

 

Thanks for the reading the Cliff's Notes edition of my updates :tongue: :read: :drinks:

[scratchswinger]

46 and 50 SM7? What finish?

[J13]

I stopped reading after "I think the 917D3 is one of the best drivers I've owned" :taunt:

 

Interested to see how iron shafts test for ya. You know my predicament with the elbow so i'm doing a fitting vicariously through you next week. :wave:
