Puppetmaster WITB & Course Pictures

[eagle1997]

i just bought one of these not too long ago. coincidence? i say no.

i figured out that the settings on mine mean that it is set to the 'closed' position with 12g in the toe and 2g in the heel. i lucked into it this way, as i would never have set any club i own to closed as i dread the left side pull hook. there must be some black magic in the shaft or settings as this damn thing will not go left unless i heel-hook it (yes, that's a thing).

good luck with your blast from the past!

the RAZR Fit w a DI 6 was one of the best drivers for me
I think it was more shaft related than anything tho the DI is a good fit I think
you have me thinking now ......

I started seeing how cheap the Fit heads were, and with all the deals on CPO I knew I could get shafts for cheap(er), so I literally put two and two together, lol. I had a Speeder TS 6.2X earlier than I ended up selling too.

Pretty sure I bought mine before you did. I already know it's a great driver, I've owned three in total now, haha. Either way, glad to hear you're having success with it.

I see you're in Fairfax - judging by your WITB you would love our store (Merrifield Golf). Stop by sometime
[/quote]

I've been meaning to but just haven't had the chance. Will definitely come in soon though.

Puppet, how are things going man?

The bags looking really nice dude!

[Puppetmaster]

Everything is going well, thanks. We still need to get a round in this season some time. Maybe at Bristow at some point?

Those SLDRs still working out well?

[Puppetmaster]

Duh, how could I forget, there is a new stick in the bag. I was fortunate enough to be selected for testing of the Odyssey Tank Cruiser, so I picked a 330M, seeing I've been putting well with that head shape.

Good to hear. I agree, a round would be fun! Bristow works, or somewhere in Fairfax whatever is fine. Don't know when the last time you have been to Bristow, but it's changed a lot! They have a mini us open feel going, growing lots of knee high grass out I around the bunkers, the rough is thick no matter if they just cut it or not...it's playing tough!

The Sldr's are great, really like them a lot! Just the swing is faltering at the moment and going through some issues. But none the less, really liking them!

[Puppetmaster]

I played Bristow in November and it was really good for that late in the year. That was the last time. That course could be brutal if they let the rough grow in, especially with how dry it gets.

[GooseHook]

So the 9015 is the longest tenured driver [i]ever [/i]pretty much for you?

We've got to play this season, even if it's just so we can trade drivers on the range. You of all gearheads should be interested in the Chrome.

Likely so. I think I win longest tenured putter though!

[Puppetmaster]

Haha, good question. I think the Razr Hawk Tour with Ahina 70 might still have it beat. At least on my time on this site. I used a Titlest 975D with Prolite from 1999/2000 to 2008 or so, IIRC.

It's still got some life in it!

Besides, you're going through putters like hotcakes lately..probably too much to keep track of.

[FAbb]

975D til '08? That's some OG $hit right there! You've still got that club, right?

[Puppetmaster]

So this showed up today... :D

 

 

And yes, I still have my 975D in the closet.

[JJK947]

Did you hit it? I've got one coming with the D+ 72x on Monday.

[Puppetmaster]

Hit it today but only with range balls. Very solid feel and nice sound to it, and it'll only get better with "real" balls. Tried it in the 9.5 Fade setting with the 6Q3 in S flex and was getting it out there pretty nicely, except I was missing it right a lot, but I was missing my 3-iron right too, so that's probably on me. Of course I forgot the wrench, so I didn't get to play around with it but I'm going back out Tuesday to tinker with it more and have a round scheduled Thursday afternoon. Also waiting on two sleeves to come in to try a couple of my other shafts. Depending on how flight is with real balls, I can see myself using either of the 9.5 settings, and [i]mayb[/i]e the 8.5 Fade with the right shaft, because the launch and flight is very flat for me. This was only the first time out with it though, so things might change.

[melstew]

In my bag I have a 12 degree titleist 910d2 driver with stiff flex shaft.
15.5 degree titleist 906f4 fairway wood with stiff flex shaft
19 degree titleist 909h hybrid with a aldila HY-X shaft
Titleist 762 irons 4-pw with R300 dynamic gold shafts
Vokey 52* wedge with 8* bounce
Vokey 56* wedge spin milled with 11* bounce
Vokey 60* wedge with 4* bounce
Scotty cameron 34 inch newport select 1.5 with two 10 gram weights

BAD JOEL, BAD!

How is the TEE CB ProH holding up?

[Puppetmaster]

You guys jinxed it when you said the 9015d was in the bag for a long time, by my standards at least.

The TEE has a very unique feel. Definitely hollow and springy but still feels pretty good. Nothing close to a pure iron feel like the Mizuno Fli Hi or 712U. More like a springier MP H4. Launches higher than I expected but not in a bad way. Need to give it more time.

Didn't check the photos....you're using the RIP Tour still in clubs like that, yes?

That's the plan. I just got the TEE last week, so I'm just using the stock KBS Tour for now. Will likely swap the RIP into it at some point though.

[Puppetmaster]

After showing great restraint for the first half of the year, things fell apart. Now I have a Bio Cell Pro with Matrix 6Q3, Fubuki K 70, and Aldila ATX Tour Blue 75. I also have two Cobra adapters ordered and on the way, for which I have no idea why. Not to mention the TM ATV 60* wedge and TEE CB Pro-h 3-iron, and possible reshafts for those. And I'm still contemplating an 18* DHy to replace the one I sold or another TEE. What a sickness this is...

 

Edit, here's a bag pic from when I played last week, everything is under covers, but you can use your imagination. I've such a diverse mix of clubs now.

 

Cobra Bio Cell Pro 8.5*, Fubuki K 70

TEE CB5 15* 3W, Fujikura Rombax P95

Callaway Diablo Octane Tour 18* 5W, Aldila RIP 90

TEE CB Pro-h 21*, KBS Tour

Bridgestone J40 DPC 4-9, DG

Vokey 250.06, 254.10, DG

TM TP ATV 60*, KBS Tour V

Odyssey Tank Cruiser 330M

 

[Beastmode Broker]

I'm the same man, had a TERRIBLE winter of HO'ing, settled down in the spring and am now slowly switching things out
I can say for certain tho that I finally locked down the 3w, HY (hybrids been in the bag 2 years now), Irons and wedges

as usual putters and drivers are a rotating door
although I have the EDEL putter I was fitted for in the spring on the way
2.5 hours to find the perfect flat stick, so yea......its the Indian??

[QMany]

How's the TEE iron holding up?

I'm a big fan of the TMaG TP wedges.

I like the TEE. It's not the longest, but it's incredibly straight, and launches high enough it can hold a green and also doesn't run off a fairway (too badly) if I am a little off. I'm still contemplating putting in my RIP Tour 115 though.

The ATV wedge has been very impressive, and I love the look of the lower lofts like the 50 and 52, but my Wedgeworks 250.06 and 254.10 are still go-to clubs for me, so I am not switching my other wedges just yet. The TP 56 is always in the back of my mind though. I think I still need more time with the ATV, so for my upcoming golf trip, I'll likely be putting the Jaws 60* back in for now (but am keeping the ATV in the trunk just in case).

We always think we can do better with better arrows...

[Puppetmaster]

Oh yeah, and just because it looks pretty...

 

 

Honestly, the head itself is what makes this such a good driver. I can pretty much use any shaft in this and be happy right now.
