Srixon-Ian's bag

Srixon-Ian · October 20, 2009

Well I just finished a massive project for my Aerospace class and to unwind I decided to finally let everyone know what is in my bag, as I am sure you all were losing sleep over not knowing what is in Srixon-Ian's bag.

Starting with the big stick it is a Cally FT-9 tour 9.5* imix with a Motore F1 shaft, I think I finally have the consistency I was looking for from the driver. Went through a Hibore, Z-RW, and an FT-i until getting to this.

Hybrids-I am using a Srixon AD 18* hybrid, I love this club as it is super easy to hit. Also, I have a Scratch 21* hybrid that I haven't used much but I am liking it so far. I have an adams Idea pro gold coming in 16* this will switch in and out with the 4 iron that I am carrying right now.

Irons-I am gaming the Srixon I-701 4-PW (3 iron is in the closet) I really like these irons and they are really the only things I haven't ever thought about replacing. They are forgiving enough, but give me thte feedback necessary to imrove my ball striking.

Wedges- using the Srixon WG-706 52*, and Scratch 8620 56* and 60* in SS grind. These wedges have really helped my game, I feel confident using any of these wedges and the fact that they all fit my sweeper slider swing makes them so much better.

Putters-I am currently rotating through 3 putters a Bobby Grace Sanibel, Sunset, and a Goode stainless steel. Hoping someday to be able to get some of the smaller makers like Byron, TP Mill, Yamada, and others as I really like putters.

All in a Wilson Staff carry bag

big fan of the irons (as you can see below), one of the most underrated companies on the market today IMO. also, how are you liking the scratch hybrid. i've been looking at them for awhile and they seem like a good buy.

I am liking the Scratch Hybrid so far, really only used for two days. I used it on the range before an outing and couldn't hit it at all, but I think that was just the adjustment period, but I hit well on the course. I am not sure if it is worth the $150 from Scratch as I do think other hybrids are better at a better price, but I got it when they were having the buy 2 8620 wedges and get the hybrid for free. So I got 3 clubs for $200 which is great as I do really like all 3 clubs I got.

I agree that Srixon is underrated. I love their stuff, I liked the Z-RW driver I had but something went terribly wrong with my swing and I lost all confidence in the driver, so I made a switch to help get over the mental block. I will hit the Z-RW again as I sold it to my brother and can still use it and hopefully I will try the new Srixon driver.

Very nice bag and I hear you on that [color="#FF0000"]SRIXON[/color] is underrated...I just recenlty switched pretty much my whole bag to [color="#FF0000"]SRIXON[/color]...see signature. I need to take some pictures and post it in the WITB section. I also own both an FT-9 (9.5 deg) and a [color="#FF0000"]Z-RW[/color] (8.5 deg). I bought the [color="#FF0000"]Z-RW[/color] at Golfsmith (brand new) for $99 as I have always thought about hitting an 8.5 driver and I figured for $99 what the heck and I [color="#FF0000"]LOVE[/color] :heart: this driver. I can tee it low and hit a real controlled shot (when my swing is not working to well) but I can also tee it high and let it rip. The stiff shaft has a high kick point which works very well for me....I also play the [color="#FF0000"]I-701 Tour [/color]irons and they are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet... :victory:

Nice set up.

I will soon be trying a set of Srixon irons myself.

How'd the project for your Aerospace class go??

I love the Srixon irons, and with how the area Srixon Rep has treated me, I think they will have my business when I get new ones in a few years. I wish the pro-100 blades were still available as I would love to have a set.

Anyway, the Aero project went fine, it was just terrible timing as it was placed right along with midterms. One of those things that kept getting pushed onto the back burner, because it wasn't the "most" important thing at the time. Ended up spending about 40 hours over 3 days in getting it done. I was definitely fried after that weekend
