Nice sticks... and cool dog!

[elchene]

Great setup! love the pic with your dog, hahahaha

[High_Draw_Willie]

Nice sticks and a beautiful scratch. Is that dog tour issue?

[bdcgolfacer23]

Love you dog!

Why do you have both a Rapture V2 and a G10? Seems to me that the heads are quite different from one another (Rapture much lower spinning).

[SALUKI LEFTY]

Thanks for the replies. Ya, my dog follows me everywhere, that's a Weimaraner. They don't leave your side.


As for the question on the drivers, I played the V2 all last year and thought I would give the G15 a try since I really like my Rapture, but it doesn't compare to the V2 for me. The low spin V2 gives me a good 10 yards more and I haven't hit any other driver farther. Probably will get rid of the G15 this summer as I picked up a second Rapture V2 same combo as a backup.

Just got notified today from Scratch that my irons are on there way. Expecting to get them on Saturday after checking out the tracking #. I'll try and get some pic's up as soon as they arrive.

Love the Weimaraner- my uncle has one and they are cool as heck.

How is the Titleist carry bag? It looks great and I'm thinking of defecting from Ping. Any problems with it?

Cool set-up!

[Zooko23]

My gf has one, soon to be mine to I guess and that guy is so hyper its not even funny! Sweet sticks btw love the look of the g10 staff bags too

The StaDry is real nice. I used it all last year. Got rained on a few times and it definetly keeps everything dry. It's also nice cause it's a little smaller than some of the other Titleist bags that it sits on a cart well with no issues. If you are not familiar with Sun Mountain/Titleist bags, some of them don't fit on a cart very well unless you turn them sideways. This one doesn't have that problem.

I just picked up the Latitude V2 for my new irons, so we'll give that one a try this year. I really like it too from what it offers.

They made a few sets in lefty split cavity backs for a tour pro Ari said. Not regular retail like the others. I had to order them through the Tour Department. There is a pic of a raw head floating around the boards if you search Scratch Left Tour Department I think. Looks like Nike split cavity or the Miura split CB's. I haven't seen them in person until mine arrive tomorrow. Went with the brushed satin finish, white paintfill, kbs black nickel 5.5 shafts, std headshape, initials on toe, white new decade MC grips, 1 dgr upright, 1 degree strong (47* PW).

[SALUKI LEFTY]

Added a new pic of my custom paintfill project on my 60* Vokey. Green and white paintfill. First time I've done this; thought it turned out pretty good.

[williamo]

How did you do it? Can you write a small guide?

I have the 2009 black nickel spin milled wedges and I want to change the saw blade that is in red to blue! How to do it??

Like it very much. I was thinking of repainting my wedges. I did them in blue about a month bag. Pics are in my WITB. Great work.

There are some threads on here with detailed steps, but a quick guide is as follows:

Soak Qtip in acetone over areas you want to remove paint, then use toothpick to remove old paint. This takes a bit depending on how small the letering you are removing. After removed and club is clean and dry, use your paint with a toothpick to fill in the areas. It's ok if u go outside the lines. Let it dry completly then use acetone on paper towel and wipe off excess paint. I used nail polish but u can prolly use better paint. I was messing around for my first time.

Again do a search and you'll get better instructions.

I did a 56 vokey last night in all white. I'll get that posted too, looks sweet.

I used some nail polish remover with acetone and thumbtacks to losen the original paint. Wiped off pretty clean with the NPR and an old towel after that. Taking the old paint out was def the hardest part of the process. Using paint bottles with the dispensing needles made the fill super quick and easy.

[williamo]

What do you think about the G15 with the Kai'li compared to the Rapture V2 with Blueboard?

Ballflight?

High/low?

Spin?

Feel of the head?

Feel of the shaft?

G15 feels more closed to me, is that true?

What length do you have at your drivers, I think my V2 w/ Blueboard is at 45.75 (Standard?) and I want to cut it to 45"!

Did Ping install your Kai'li or did you buy it from some aftermarket clubbuilder?

[Jtraskal]

awesome irons!

[UnderPar18]

drooling over those irons if you ever want to trade or sell those please let me know. You are a lucky man to own those!

[goodguy]

If you ever want to get rid of those irons let me know.

[SALUKI LEFTY]

Made a few updates to my WITB for 2011.

[b~carnoustie]

nice napa!!!

[williamo]

Great bag, update the pics man!

[SALUKI LEFTY]

Ok, I added some new pic's I took today. iphone pic's so not the best quality, but oh well.

[Benzo]

sweet bag my man...looks awesome

[mrgolfer03]

Nice bag , lots of options to mess around with.

[Mackdiddyp]

That is exactly what I am looking for, a Ping i15 20degree with a Fubuki. How do you like this combination?

[SALUKI LEFTY]

The i15 with Fubuki is sweet. Aside from looking awesome it plays great. Very smooth feeling with medium/high ball flight. I like hitting it off the tee when hitting a fairway is required and it also plays great into greens. Best hybrid shaft I've hit. Had Joe Kwok install it.

[SALUKI LEFTY]

Added a few new pic's today of my Tour S wedges that came in last night. Ended up going with 52, 56 in brushed chrome and 60 in rustique. After long debate went with KBS shafts to match my irons.

Just waiting now on my TEE 3 wood to come in from Joe Kwok, my new Kikkor's, and Galvin Green rainwear.

[JayLefty]

Nice gear, grips and headcovers. Thanks for the comments.

I want your scratch irons!
