Found a place that does the trackman combine in Vegas! Only $200. ..........................

[tembolo1284]

here in nyc it's 140 for one session or 500 bucks for 6 sessions. Ridiculousssssss!

[tembolo1284]

Q post your specs so we can talk about the distance control and gaps.
My main fear as I've told you before is that your shortest club the 60 deg LW is your 100 yard club.

I'd say you should have your shortest club be something like 85 yards. That makes the 20-75 yard shots that much easier.

What you think?

[tembolo1284]

That way you have the chance to free up a wedge on the short end and pop a long sucker on the other end to fill in the big gaps between the woods.

[tembolo1284]

Also why the hell is your shortest wedge 35.5 inches man? LOOOOOOOOOONG.

[tembolo1284]

LV_2 said Q is like a stack and tilter. Hits the mid and longer irons great but not good with a driver.

Thems fightin' words y0!

I say you just show him your sausage.

[tembolo1284]

When you going to take it again Q?

[tembolo1284]

So...Srixon XV eh? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Decisions decisions.

[tembolo1284]

Q wake up man we gotta get this set.

[dikaia22]

I really feel like I just stumbled into a pm convo between Q and Trem... Haha in all seriousness its pretty dang cool to see your progress since meeting you on the range in Topeka. I have regressed unfortunately but hoping to fix that this year!

[tembolo1284]

It's gotta be an optical illusion with the name. There is no r in tembolo baby!

All good though. I'm just trying to get some of Q's power that's all.

[tembolo1284]

his goodness and all that.

Q wake up.

[tembolo1284]

Wait should we get LV_2 involved?

[tembolo1284]

LV_2 is another hour behind ya?

Whatever wake him up anyway.

LV_2! Get in here!

[tembolo1284]

dude! We never talked about the bounce on your wedges!!!!!!!!!

[tembolo1284]

What kind of conditions you got over there anyway? Besides the WIND.

Was Q nice to you at least?

[tembolo1284]

Man, that seems like so long ago! I hope you're doing well. If you are ever in KC, let me know. If you think this is bad, you should see our text conversations.

I'm all for something new. I have nothing against Titleist balls, I just want something different. The XV was surprisingly great in my short testing so far, and it is YELLOW!

I'd say WIND is the #1 defining feature of the courses I play. I prefer a firm/fast course, but they are few and far between here in Kansas during the summer. I feel like most courses have to dump water to keep the course alive. That is their belief at least, I think too much consideration is given to a course being "green," but that is a conversation for another day.

I'm 6'2" with short arms, I've always had to play everything 0.25-0.5" over.

[tembolo1284]

BOUNCE discussion time!

[tembolo1284]

Have you given any thought to tweaking stuff so your shortest full club is more like 85 yards rather than 100 yards?

[tembolo1284]

hell....even 90 yards? Ya know what I mean, jelly bean?

I haven't really given it much consideration. I feel most comfortable hitting that about 90, but can fly it 100 if conditions call for it. I don't think I want to go higher than 60. I also don't want to go much shorter, maybe 0.25" at most.

[tembolo1284]

Then practice those 50-60-70-80-90 yard gaps on the range!

Zach Johnson style!

[QMany]

Alright, I'm torn between bag setup. I don't know if I want to go with 4 wedges, as previously played, or move on to three.

 

Here is my old setup and what I had planned to go with in my new set:

 

Here is what Tembolo and I have been talking about, dropping a wedge and adding a longer club:

[tembolo1284]

What you guys think?

[tembolo1284]

Easier to take off on a shot when he's 60 yards than it is to take some off his fairway wood to go 10 yard shorter..etc etc.

Yes, no? We suck? That's our thinking anyway.

Wish we could get 10-12 yard gaps nice and tight like Hogan had it.
