Kenny Perry WITB

[newk]

I switched to the redline irons this year and I think that they are fantastic. The hybrids are great. I paid @ $300 for them and they are the best set of irons that I have had since the Ping i5's. For a guy like me with young kids who only gets out once or twice a week these a so good.

you guys, most of you are nuts.

The only thing that looks good is:
1. Tee shot in the fairway
2. Approach shot close to the pin.
3. A chip shot 2ft or closer to the pin.
4. A putt that drops
5. Your overall score is better than anyone else.

all else is inconsequential.

Tell me about it. I still play better than quite a few at my local muni who have $600+ in gear and I can go low 70s when I'm feeling good, and I don't play a crazy amount of golf. Plus I game:

Don't think I spent more than $90 on all of it.

On that note, I swear he was gaming an old Odyssey Rossie II mallet about a decade or so ago. Does anyone remember that? I just picked up I think the same one at Goodwill for $3.00. It feels so nice. Just wanted to remember if in fact that was the same stick he was gaming and making all those putts with back then.

I remember that, it was right around the time of the original TM Spider launch. and TM was going crazy trying to get it in his bag, but he stuck with the old Rossie II for a long time.

I thought. He drained everything with that stick. I believe he won a bunch with it as well.

Just to kick this old thread, I can confirm that KP is still using the Redline irons, and still hits the ball ridiculously high and far! Followed him in the 2nd last group yesterday at the Principal Carity Classic in Des Moines, and while Jay Haas had the field covered from the beginning, it was a day of missed opportunities for KP. His official driving distance average was 323 yards, and actually drove it through a couple of fairways, limiting his ability to spin the ball on short wedges and get it close enough to the hole.

Keeping in mind the WITB spirit, the bag appears intact except for a substitution of the "new/old" 588 wedges for the CG14s he was bagging earlier in the year.

This thread is what can be so annoying about this forum. Who cares!? I played the a7os with a 12 hc because the club just worked. KP could beat anyone on this forum up and down a course with a putter, 5 iron and driver. If it works, play it.

Agree 100%. Just shows you how some of the people on these forums are douchebags in real life. I wouldn't want to play a round of golf with those people. Good for KP.

[wolfpack]

Nice win by KP, so what did he bag for his first major?

and second.

Great Win!

God those irons are horrible. Adams has some decent stuff available not sure why he like these. He can't be losing that much distance.

Maybe Adams pays him more to play those particular irons?

[GoIrish17]

I just stumbled upon this thread, and continued reading because it was good for a laugh. And it's good to see that heyjude1979 has brought the conversation back full circle so I can continue to watch the entertainment from afar. Carry on, you guys. Don't mind me.

They aren't horrible irons. I currently game a set and they are great for a wide range of players. Are they the prettiest iron set out there? Not at all but they flat out perform.

Why would Adams pay him more to game a 2 year old iron set that can be had brand new for less than $300? If anything they would want him to game the more expensive Adams CMB or at the very least the newer game improvement Super S set.

I thought the Cleveland wedges with the yellow inserts were the ones that were illegal once the new groove rule went into effect. Am I off on this?

[JayJar Binks]

Did KP switch driver shafts recently? Looks like from yesterdays coverage something other than the VTS. Looked like maybe a TS Speeder? or were my eyes deceiving me? Cant seem to find any images.

They have been making these w conforming grooves since the rule change, called tour zip grooves or TZG

[lsf_21]

Kenny still bagging redlines or has he moved to the XTDs?

[SetTheBarrHigh]

He switched to the XTD's. As soon as I saw these, I had a feeling Kenny would be all over them.

[jimmyjames]

Kenny is one of my favorite players of all time great to see him still playing so well on the Champions. Hope to play Country Creek one day!

I live 45 mins from country creek. It is not a bad course. Would not make a special trip to Franklin Ky for it.

[pmcuk]

I usually play Cobra S9 GI irons, but like Sean I also really enjoy using "players" irons like my set of Redlines, like all the guys on the tour.......

Machismo, I know...

Incidentally, what shafts and flex are in the Redline irons? I can't imagine it's the stock 85g ones.

[lsf_21]

Bagging apex irons, Mack Daddy wedges, and odyssey putter. Moving to callaway soon? Also if you look closely in the cart there is a big bertha headcover.

 

 

[knudson81]

Yeah, drive looks to be a V Series with a Fujikura Motore Speeder. Lot of Aldila NV shafts seems to be in that cart also!

That'll be a good pickup for Callaway, he's still a pretty popular figure. The guy tried to leave TaylorMade and just couldn't get away when they purchased Adams.

Actually I heard Kenny wanted PGA Tour money from TaylorMade although he was going to play the Champions Tour. And TaylorMade said sorry.

If that's the case, I don't blame them. They should be using that money on Langer.
