Today's bag was;

Driver: Cleveland Classic 290 with C Kua 43 Reg.

Hybrids: Adams A12 Pros #1, #2 & #3.

Irons: TM TP CBS, R300s

2nd round with the Cleveland 290 now, one at Nudgee, and today at Reddie Bay. I have missed 2 Fairways total so far, and neither were by very much!!! In fact I think I made par from both misses at Nudgee!

2nd round with the TMs, I hardly used them first time out (interestingly was the same round that I used the Cleveland 290 for the 1st time as well). Today they were very solid, I actually hit most shots at least pin high or longer.

Adams Hybrids were as solid as ever. The #1 was responsible for 6 of the 14 FIR today as well.

After such a solid round, it was tempting to keep the same bag, but them's not the rules, so into the bag today;

Driver: Cleveland Classic Tour 10.5 Kusala Black 61S
Irons: Titleist 710 AP2 with Nippon 105Ts

Today's rotation;

Driver: Epon AF 101with Bassara 73 x5t Reg
Irons: Adams MB2 with DGS300 SLs
Adams: Adams Black Super Hybrid 15* in for Adams A12 Pro 16*

Today's rotation;

Driver: Epon AF 101with Bassara 73 x5t Reg
Irons: Adams MB2 with DGS300 SLs
Adams: Adams Black Super Hybrid 15* in for Adams A12 Pro 16*

One of the poorer rotations so far. The Epon just didn't feel right. SW is only D0 and I struggled to find the middle. and even when I did, it felt very dead. My other Epon (PL Red) is quite the opposite. So some surgery/experimenting might be due with this one. The (genuine) Bassara also disappointed.

I struggled a bit with the MB2s today also . When I swung well the flight was good, but seemed to be relatively low spinning, and I didn't get my usual drop and stop. Hit a few long as a consequence, and struggled to adjust in the shorter irons on chips shots, especially as the Yururi wedges spin like crazy. The shafts aren't ideal for me, an R300 transplant might be in the wind if I struggle with them again next time out.

The Black Super Hybrid was OK, just not as confidence building as the A12 Pro. On a day where I was struggling with the Driver, the A12 Pro #1 was missed a bit.

Today's rotation;

Driver: Titleist 913 D2 9.5* with AD DJ 6S
Hybrids: Adams A12 Pro #1 back in the bag.
Irons: Titleist 710 CBs with 105Ts
Putter: Scotty Cameron Kombi

The Driver combo was interesting. It was hard to hit badly, most came out of the middle, but few felt very good and it was a push to get one out there. My last drive was probably my best. It will be interesting to see how it feels next time around.

The Adams Hybrid was very mixed, hit a few on the head today.

The Titty CBs are very sweet and one of my favorite sets in the rotation.

I added Putter to the rotation today for something different. I had forgotten how hot they come off the face of the milled Kombi, compared to the insert faced TM Spider. Once I had adjusted for the pace, it felt pretty good, and I thought I struck it quite well most of the day.
