What's on the ho'ing horizon?

[kwantfm]

Hi all,

Been a bit busy with work recently so haven't really been around much.

Just wondering what you guys are looking to purchase or try over the next few months.

For me:
Drivers - Cleveland Hi-Bore;
Fairways - Adams RPM LP Tour 14.5 or 16;
Putters - Scotty Cameron JAT or Del Mar 3.5, Odyssey 2-Ball SRT, Zomo Z:X, Gauge proto (JAT style), Bettinardi BB2-DASS
Shafts - GD PM 702/902, Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara, Diamana Red Board, Aldila VS Proto

Cheers,
T

[Jarro]

what's the go with the SQ Tour Terence? .. sick of it already ;)

i MIGHT try out the following if i can,

Bridgey 460 driver
Bridgey 15* Hybrid & 3 wood
Bridgey combo irons

[connico]

cleveland hi-bore... i guess thats it, pretty happy with my bag right now

[kwantfm]

Jarro,

SQ Tour is still sickeningly good... played with a mate of mine who swings at close to 120 mph last weekend and even he complimented me on a few of my drives.

Gotta try the new drivers though. Experimenting with a Bridgey 460 Diamana at the moment.

Cheers,
T

How do you find the Bridgey compares to the SQ ??

I found the SQ a little too clumsy feeling .. i'm not used to swinging drivers that are 460cc :roll:

Is the Bridgey a little easier to handle ?

[kwantfm]

Initial impressions are that both drivers are superb. The differences are:

Trajectory: SQ Tour 9.5 has a higher trajectory than Bridgestone 10.5
Forgiveness: SQ is more forgiving
Feel: Bridgestone has the solid thump that I used to get from my 510 TP Tour... SQ is very vibrant at impact... both are good and depends what you like
Appearance: Bridgestone looks much smaller at address

I haven't taken both out on the course yet to compare distances. I'm betting they'll be line ball.

[macleod]

mmm...nothing...


OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!!

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!

I'm going to start Ho'ing lessons, how's that sounds? :lol:

[Matt 3 Jab]

I want some new blades,would kill for some CG1's!!!! that would be sweet, ot raven tour specs! another scotty cameron,maybe a newport style head, and maybe a new 3 wood, alot of stuff really ;)

[markTHEblake]

I have got about $90 worth of vouchers at the pro shop - i think i will buy a pair of snazzy trousers and a shirt - Green.

[drunken]

Driver - Any suggestions?? Maybe a Titleist...
Woods - Maybe a Titleist wood...
Irons - Happy with the Maxflis for the time being
Wedges - Happy with them
Putter - Ping Anser or SC Newport 2

Well, it's not part of my signature.... :roll: but I've been looking for a Titleist Bucket for a while now.

Where'd you get yours?

[Matt 3 Jab]

i got this one while on holidays overseas

[AndyP]

As I stated in another thread, I may be looking for a 54° vokey. But then again, I might not be.

[gazgolf1]

I still have a woody for a set of Nike blades but since I barely play anymore I'd probably struggle to get the ball anywhere near the sweetspot.
The rest of the bag is set.

[freddy a]

cleveland hi-bore all the way!

[Eag's]

Keen to try out a few 3 woods.
Going to get my wedges bent to suit, but other than that I am happy with my setup :)

Gotta say I'm not keen on the new look for Titleist Fairways.... This is the retail version (906) of the F3-05 proto that a few of the PGA guys have been using... Think I better get a 904F 5 wood before they change the look as I am LOVING my 904F 3 wood.

[Jarro]

Vegas, if you're looking for a nice fairway wood ... check out the Bridgestones 8)

[terryand]

About the only thing I want to Ho is a nice "L" series Lens.

Terry.

[Jarro]

is that so you can take pic's around corners Tezza ;)

[terryand]

"L" series in golf terms means "Tour" :lol:

But just like in golf it the guy on the end of the equipment still has to be able to get the best out of it.

Terry.

[andylo]

Would like to try a 905R with decent shaft would be great ;)

Other then that I would like to reshaft most of the thing I got in my bag... and definately want to reshaft the wedges to something 1 or 1/2 flex softer.

[drunken]

I'm after a camera, but won't go for a pro model like yours tez. Was thinking a 350D might be more suitable.

Oh and a new putter. It's the only club that has never changed in my bag....ever. Going for a cheap Ping until I can buy a scotty

[Moe Norman]

I'm keen to put rifle 6.0's in my wedges

[Toolish]

Want to get some wedges(srixon) and woods (V-steel or bridgestone 4 wood, maybe a Nak driver)...and then get the set to match. At the moment I have 5 different shaft flexs in my bag...gotta get that sorted so they all play the same.

Also want to tweak the lofts on my irons...but that is not really hoing is it!

Basically want to get a full overview with Ben, to get properly fitted and matched gear.

A man after my own heart! :-D i had a roll with turboalfa's Newport Beach last night and it's sooo similar to the Ping Anser it's not funny. Maybe a touch more weight on the Scotty's versus their equivalent Pings, but that's it.

[terryand]

Drunken ,my 20D has just been superseded by the 30D,so I'm sure that you could get a good price on the 20D in coming months.

Terry.

[drunken]

Yeah I'm just keeping my eye on things, as I wasn't going to buy for a few months anyway. The 20D seems to have the advantage in a better housing & more/faster continuos shooting.

Mmm the 20D should go down alot, seeing as its RRP is higher than the 30D....

[connico]

lol Hey Terry i could get you an L series Tour lense, how about an 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lense, which would almost cost as much as your camera when your brough retail :)

Regardless the 30D really is only a slight upgrade, not much different between the two cameras, i test drove the 30D its a little heavier and can shot more continuous shots at the same speed and more memory settings...basically the same body as well...and its apprantly cheaper....wtf?

Drunken please note that the 10D is also a nice camera and its a lot cheaper then the 20D and 30D... compartively unless your sports shotting then a 10D will do an excellent job for everything else...with the money you save you can get better lenses mate...even if you want to sports shot the 10D will still do 3fsp with max 9 images if memory serves be correctly, it also has a slower max shutter speed of 1/4000 instead of the 1/8000 in the 20 and 30...and its 6.3mp

but its much cheaper and still an effective camera

[drunken]

Oh well, as long as it pushes the prices down of the old models I don't mind

[terryand]

You have my attention :smt119

PM on the way.

Terry.

[amanda]

Nothing in my bag needs updating - I'd just love a decent pair of golf shorts. I'm almost to the point where I might just make them myself!

[Jono]

My ho'ing days are limited ... ;)

Driver: Very happy with the Cobra F Speed. If I can't drive it as far as Stephen Kennedy, I may as well be as loud as him ... 8) The only thing I might try is reshaft with the V2. Loved the feel of the V2 in TS's driver.
3 Wood: Still looking for my perfect 3 wood. I'm hoping Miro's Callaway with perhaps an NV shaft may be the answer. We'll see.
Hybrid: Very happy with the Wishon 18 degree now that I have the right shaft in it. (NV75 Stiff)
Irons: I like my Oxygens, but I would prefer something with less offset but just as much forgiveness. I've hooked a few shots with the Oxygens. Hmmm ... I hear the Callaways calling me ... :lol:
Wedges: Pretty happy with the Pings ... i3+'s in PW and GW, mb's in SW and LW. The unshankable wedge is out of the bag for the time being.
Petter: Pelz modified 2 ball blade putter. This one is for keeps ... for the time being.

[Moe Norman]

haha the 'perfect' wedge has been banished already

[andylo]

The unshankable wedge is out of the bag for the time being.

When you selling it? I am 1st name on the list.

[Jarro]

i'll buy it off you Jono, i need something to pick up the dog **** in my backyard

Jono,

My wifes x-14's are available -you wouldn't even need to change shafts! :)

[Jono]

Jono,

Is she using stiff shafts, is she? Must be a compensatory thing ... :twisted:

[Jarro]

15 all.

[3oneday]

Jono is in rare form, maybe Trung had him worn down ??? :lol:

[drunken]

Just picked up a Ping Anser http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7220345277 good price too.

Turns out the seller is the Cool Tweed Golf Club Pro - Russ Davis. Interesting...

[Matt 3 Jab]

Nice, sometimes i wish i never sold my sacottsdale anser, but ah well, thms the breaks!!!

[McMw]

waiting to see the J33 460cc in person and compare it to the MP001-460...

bought a 905T the other day - took it out for a quick 9 - can't wait to sell it off now... :lol:

s59 irons will be in the bag for a while...
still looking for the "perfect" 3wood - so can't wait to give the Ovation Tour a whirl one of this days... ;)
looking for replacement set of wedges now...my hogan set got split up when someone bought my 50º gappie...

got a set of Raven 50º and 58º wedges in the car brand spanking new - just not sure if I'm ready to use it or not... :lol:

[drunken]

Mau I think you really are the king of the ho's. Sorry 3oneday, sorry nudgee. But this guy has sooo many clubs go through his hands its not funny.

[McMw]

yeah....but I'm non-tour...so don't qualify!!! ;)

[terryand]

Strange though, the paypal account it went to was Russ Davis, russ@cooltweedgolf.com.au

[Jono]

Nice, sometimes i wish i never sold my sacottsdale anser, but ah well, thms the breaks!!!

6 months down the line, you'll be saying the same thing about your Clevelands ... :lol:

[3oneday]

yeah....but I'm non-tour...so don't qualify!!! ;)Haven't had a tour club since, since, since, hmmmm, a shallow purchase of mine ;)


In fact, Mr DrunkengotnoideawhatthefruckIamonabout, haven't had a change of any club for almost 6 weeks now :p

:lol:

[drunken]

Yeah yeah yeah....

Anyway, need a new grip for my putter. Anyone got a Ping grip pying around they don't want?

[Jarro]

... but you thought about it every single day :p :lol:

[3oneday]

... but you thought about it every single day :p :lol:yes, there is that....

Still am as well :oops:


:lol:

[Jarro]

well done Pete ... sounds like you're at step 2 ... acceptance ;)

[miro]

Is she using stiff shafts, is she? Must be a compensatory thing ... :twisted:


Jono,

You are correct it is a 'compensatory" thing -however, her shafts are ladies flex and 2 inches shorter than average. :)

[Iain]

Hmmm,
Driver, hybrid/7 wood, irons, wedges....

[markTHEblake]

No its not.....

Thats Blakey you fool :smt087

Terry.

I thought Jarro was the only fool that thought that is me.

[terryand]

I thought Jarro was the only fool that thought that is me.

You fessed up yourself when Macca got that thing off you.

Terry.

[ren]

Next week I'm putting either a Fusion 7 wood, or Nickent 3xd 3 or 4 in the bag, depending on how they go at the range......Just put a Cleveland Ti460 2006 in the bag with ZCOM shaft.....sweet!
Raw CG10's just got a custom grind ....... L grind on the 60*

Looking forward to Titleist releasing a true hybrid (503h doesn't count)

[markTHEblake]
