Russ757... Back from the dead... Now G430'd

[Russ757]

Oh baby... look at what came in the mail today.. (ignore the pile of misfits in the background). Just need to put a satin finish and install into some spbs

ya.. was pretty dumb to ever leave

[Russ757]

After getting cleaned up and a little Peening treatment. Still need to paintfill that 'forged' white.

 

 

Currently stalking some 588 MTs and also scored a sweet Betti 53C. Well see if it can kick out ol Wilson.

[trying2scratch]

...reunited, and it feels so gooooood!!!

Congrats on the re up. Glad you came back home.

Not gonna lie though, been dreaming about a new z725/925 combo set... It will be my first purchase if I win some cash or shoot a legit at par round this year. I guy can always dream. The ZTX II's are just so comfy now, I have become even more faithful after following your thread. They say you don't know true love until you have it, and let it go. Well played my friend, best of luck this season.

Cheers

[Russ757]

Thanks don't think I haven't noticed how wonderful the '25 series look. However I heard that there was some big things scheduled for 15. Well see

[Puppetmaster]

Those irons make be want to buy more irons too... very nice.

[Beastmode Broker]

idea for paint fill
strip em raw, then paint the numbers and just the SRIXON logo white

irons look awesome

[Russ757]

Well. I do love raw.. maybe after I beat them down this year.. I'll send em off to get refinished and rawd

sorry just meant raw, as in no paint, not the actual finish of the irons (my bad)
then add white paint to the number and the SRIXON logo only

[Russ757]

Lol Oh.....

[Russ757]

New toys en route

[Russ757]

Ok this bad boy was in serious need of updating. At the risk of sounded like the thousands who have said it before me, I think I'm pretty much set. I'm VERY happy with the setup and don't see/feel a change coming for sometime. The only exceptions might be when Srixon releases their new line up next month or if the revenge is too purple-like at which time will be replaced by either a Kiyo black or white.

 

without any more delay:

 

Gamer Bag:

Bio Cell Kiyoshi 12* White 04 65

Alternate: Bio Cell 12* Devotion 04 75 (hes the head is THAT good)

Adams 3446f 16* Devotion 04 85

Adams 9033hf 18* Revenge 04 85

Bio Cell 22* Kiyoshi Purple 04 100

Srixon Z-TX2s 5-PW Nippong SPB

Cleveland 588 RTX CB 52*/56*/60* Nippon SPB

Kirk Currie II

 

Backups:

Cleveland 588 MT 3 and 4 Nippon SPB

TM R7 TPs 5-PW SPB

Cleveland CG16 48*/52*/58*

Kirk Currie III

 

 

Love LOVE LOVE these irons. Only thing that needed improved upon was the shaft. Corrected that deficiency by installing some Nippon Super Peening Blues through the wedges. They are so good that my backup bag has the same shafts.

 

 

 

 

 

The long sticks. As you can see I've become quite the Oban fan. Used to be a Fubuki/MRC ho but I just get along with these sticks. Why else would I spend $15 on a grip?

 

 

 

The 3446f. So good I have two backups. 9033 is the newest edition. Had an extra sport between 3446 and hybrid so why not..

 

 

My 'precious'. Spent A LOT of money trying to kick this thing out. Its been 4 years and shes still here. But love her so much I grabbed her cousin for when I need to switch it up

 

 

 

 

The misfits. TPs are so good they find themselves in the gamer bag when I havent been able to get out for a minute. Could use being bent flat but I know where to aim with them. The 48* is an oddity but will find its way into the gamer set if I need to carry and extra wedge. Since it has the SPB treatment, its an seamless transition.

 

 

Got my wife and I matching vanity plates. Hers is more family specific whereas I let my ego check in :)

[Puppetmaster]

Don't you just love how easy and affordable it is to get vanity tags in VA?

Really nice set you have there. You have no idea how many times I've contemplated a 3446 or 9033 when I've stumbled across them on eBay. I had a 9033HF 18* with Matrix HM2 that I sold a long time ago too. I can't believe you have TWO Bio Cell heads, but since I've been using a BC Pro for most of this season, I know how good these heads are.

Oh and the Srixon irons look great too, always loved their designs, both irons and woods.

[Beastmode Broker]

love the mallet version of the Kirk Currie, never seen that
HOLY OBAN overload!!! LOL!
all looks great man, i like it a lot

[Russ757]

lol Puppet, if you go back through this thread youve mentioned the 3446 about three times. Theres one on ebay for $42 so just buy the damn thing before I do. IRT the cell heads. You and I have been wrx buds so you know my frustration/suckage with the driver. Im telling you, I LOVE, LOVE this thing. There is nothing like stepping and being excited (in a good way) to see where it lands.

The 9033 was grabbed from Dallas Golf and really considering buying another. Got it only because it kinda matches the 3446 and was $40. Wasnt sure the revenge would hold up, but what a surprise. My main muni (hey cant beat 18 for $20 with decent greens) has some really tight holes. I mean REALLY tight. So having something i can poke out there a bit and most importantly be straight is something ive never had.

Enis.. ya about that.. so wasnt 100% on the purple. Grabbed a white 04 95 and was pretty stoked. But the 'tard in me forgot to turn off a snipe I had for a black 05 hybrid. So ya, Ill have that coming too. Likely will just sell it as soon as it gets here. The
KC II continues to be the best <$40 Ive spent on golf.

At least you know I'm consistent, ha! I've had those Dallas Golf 9033HF on my watch list for years/months, just never pulled the trigger. Maybe this is a sign seeing how most of the 18-20 deg hybrids I've tried never seem to last. Well, except the trusty Adams A12 with Diamana Thump. That has lasted the longest of them all.

[Russ757]

Buy them both. Best $80 youll spend

[Russ757]

the white won

en route.. Elements Chrome

[Russ757]

this thing is out of date..

[Russ757]

Time for some updates.

 

545s. Going to satinize the chrome and install my trusty peenings. Since Im doing that, went ahead and ordered some grey ferrules and matching grey 3gens. Gonna look sick.

 

Also coming is a U45 20* that will also have a SPB.

 

Im the meantime, Im going to dye my putter cover grey to match the rest of my bag

 

[trbgolfer]

Looks really nice! Well played and play well

[Puppetmaster]

LOL no you didn't! Those are slick, and I'm especially interested in the utility too. Nice work.

[Russ757]

Puppet thanks, I have a deal on one but just waiting on the guys to give me their payment info. Makes me SMH at how difficult it is to give people money.

Perfectly honest, I dont expect too much from 588 mt 3/4 i alternate with the u45. Just me and that awesome OCD. Ill hit u up when I get mine

[irsihmen453]

Like the setup a lot. How'd you get the satin off of your wedges to rust up like that? I'm in Chesapeake as well, where do you play mostly?

[Fade to Black]

Are you playing the regular Bio Cell? Not the + or Pro?

No issues with spin?

[Russ757]

Fade went to 913s. The + was really low spin. Keep in mind they were all low spin shafts I used. Had much better luck w the regular.

Irish those are from the tour van. There is no finish on them just bare metal do they naturally rust. I live in Great Bridge and stick to the courses around here

[Russ757]

I also need to update w the redone owes, the 545/745 combo... But will wait to I get the steelfibers

[Russ757]

ok were getting them dialed in. Bag is pretty much set so

 

 

 

 

only thing Im waiting on is my set of custom Clover Stitch's. Mine are number less and are done in grey (metal) thread vice white to match the bag..

 

 

[Townes]

How are you liking the irons, I have heard they are ball speed beasts but always wondered about the sole grind.
