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


Recommended Posts

How do you like the rtg? I kept eyeing them at GS when they were discounted but now they are gone. I wanted to get 56 to try as my highest loft but I was worried possible digging slash not enough bounce for certain situations. What is your experience? Love the way they look.

Thanks I'm excited with the progress so far

I love my rtgs. I was looking for another set but wanted to try something different. The rtgs def have more flexibility but with any wedge, practice is key

Should also have a Bio Cell + 3/4 FW arriving tomorrow that will be getting some Chrome Plus luvin..

 

I gamed the Pro with the Chrome it was a great setup! Have fun with it.

By no means am I a pro. An honest 12-14 but I will stumble into a good shot over the course of a round. It was dead today so I could drop two off the tee and man nothing.. thought maybe it was just too low spin with the pro but had the same issue with the fw. On 17, I hit ANOTHER 'wtf' so i made a comment about how im gonna hit this at 25%. Pow right down the range, dropped another and another .. three in a row. Then put my normal swing on it and sweeping draw/hook..

I was exactly the same with the Chrome. As you say, thought it was a lovely shaft, but I had the 6F4T and like you, it was just far too flexible in the mid section, and felt a little like the GD DI in that respect. All I was getting was 'hook city' with it. Probably could have got away with a 6F5, but didn't want to drop another £200 on a gamble, so I left it. Staying with the Aldila Tour Green 75, which I'm pretty happy with for now.

Time to update this bag with all kinds of Bio goodness

Looking forward to seeing the setup. I tried to like the BC hybrid (with Motore Speeder 9.8) but it didn't work out for me so it will be on the BST soon. The BC+ and BC Pro are very solid drivers though. Everyone keeps talking about the BC+ fairways, so that might be the next experiment...

ive had the + fw before and it was good. Not as good as my 3446 but dang close. I went to the BCP as anything 460cc looks like Im swinging a balloon for whatever reason. I just cant get past it. My OCD has issues with too much variance so prefer to have woods or at least shafts match. Never tried the 5/7+ but since i had an exta 80 D+ laying around and the bag was basically set..

well until Joel decided he was willing to part with a couple fujikura shafts..

i keep telling myself never play new clubs before ranging them a few times. Worst round of the year. The only thing good was looking at these beauties.

Couldnt keep the D+s in the bios off the deck so hoping the extra height will help. I also have the bio cell 3h that I alternate in. Well I will once the steelfiber comes in.

 

And heres the project bag

as you can see, I dig rust. The protype is stupid awesome. So much so I am selling my beloved Kirk Currie. Sacrilege of sacrileges I know. I have an Adams Pro VST that is currently shafted up with a fubuki 465 that I think will get the Steelfiber treatment as well.

 

As for the wedges, they will be heading down to Continental this week to get stripped raw.
