dciraolo's WITB

[dciraolo]

What's up guys I'm new here so I figured I'd introduce myself with a WITB thread. My name's Dan and I'm 19 years old. I've been playing golf for almost 2 years now.

 

WITB:

Driver: Ping G2 w/ Grafalloy Prolaunch blue stiff shaft

3 wood: Nike SQ stock stiff shaft

Irons: Taylormade r7 4-AW stiff shaft

Wedges: Titleist Vokey 56* and Cleveland Tour Action 64*

Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2.5

 

Distances:

Driver - ~310

3 wood - ~275

4 iron - 220

5 iron - 210

6 iron - 195

7 iron - 180

8 iron - 170

9 iron - 160

PW - 150

AW - 140

56* SW - 120

64* LW - really high and not very far

 

I am a 9 or 10 handicap thanks to my lack of green reading ability...

 

I probably shouldn't throw this in here especially as its my first post but if anyone is interested in a Burner 3 wood and/or my r7 irons PM me. There is a set of victory red's that i hit today at my local golf galaxy that i'd like to get my hands on if i can sell some of my current stuff. Let me know if i should remove this, i just didnt want to make a FS thread because i'm not completely sure i'm gonna sell the irons yet.

 

Anyways thats what's in my bag and what my distances are. Let me know what you think.

I think with those distances you are longer than 97% of the players on tour..... Pretty impressive lol

[dciraolo]

Haha thanks. Honestly I'd rather have all of my irons ten yards less. I don't like the gap I have around 130 yards...

Solid bag set up. Your distances are identical to my sons, he is trying to fill gaps in the short iron as well . He is doing it with new Mizuno irons and Titleist wedges. The next time I speak with him I will get his new set up. Like you he hits long irons extremely well so he is able to add wedges due to Driver 4 wood being his only woods.

[dciraolo]

Yea I'd like to know what wedges he uses. I plan to add a 60* to my set.

[chris9594]

wow 6.8 yards longer than the longest on the pga tour!

Nice to see someone still hanging on to the G2. I use one with a Grafalloy Blue. Although, if I hit mine 310 I probably wouldn't get out of bed for a week.

[dciraolo]

Yea I'm gonna hold on to my G2 for as long as possible! I recommend it to everyone. Proof that you don't need to buy a $400 driver to hit it far.

[garcia51694]

Longer than most pros, and you're an 8? Interesting....

Just demo'd some Titleist 660 blades and shot my best 9 hole score of 2 over. I am thinking about picking these up to replace my r7's. My distances were a club shorter, but I am thinking that was because I have been tinkering with my swing and its slower and smoother now. I'm glad that my distances went down though, it lessens the gap between my wedges. They didn't feel as soft as the Nike VR's I hit, but they were very accurate. I didn't try to work the ball much either. I'll try to get to the range again soon and hit some different kinds of shots. Anyone else play these irons?

And I'm not sure what to make of that comment, GARCIA STR8? I said I was a 9 or 10 handicap, and the reason for that was my putting. If you're trying to say that I need to practice short game, go ahead and say it, I don't mind. Besides, I know I need to haha.
