What have you built or had built for golf 2016

[Deester]

I would suggest the high is more the G25s than the shafts.

Yeah mate, the G25's do launch high ... With SPO they're still high, nowhere near as high And spiny as the stock CFS though.

[chappy1970]

Played my first round with the G25/SPO combo yesterday and am pretty impressed with the SPO's. For me they load easily and still have that SPB "snappy" feel, they are high (which I'm liking) but don't seem to be overly spinny and kill distance in that regard. Not to mention they a freekin smooooooooth too. Pretty happy so far.

Not to mentioned you took out the comp also

Ping I20 4 to PW shafted up with recoil prototype 110 F4. Did these yesterday and will hit them today after work. All gaps are now consistent, and swingweight a are perfect. Grips are the new Lamkin UTX wrap.

Yep, you are no longer the best player in your family

Just finished putting some extenders in the vintage Titleist Tour Model blades for an experiment.
Now playing 1 1/4" longer than my 712 AP2's.

6 iron was D2 now E1 @ 38 7/8"
4 papers under std Titleist grips.

Think I may have gone a bit too long with the extension. Going to try and lop 1/2' off before Sunday.

Hi guys
Have been posting in The Academy thread about my taking the step to start playing golf (beginner with intermittent rounds over the years but @ 42 finally making a determined effort to give this game a good crack). Got fitted last week @ MGA Moorabbin and picked up my golf clubs today. So this is what I have been equipped with:

Titleist 915 Driver 12 degree loft
Titleist 915 F with 7 on the club head (does this refer to the loft?)
Titleist 816 Hybrid with 27 on the club head

Titleist 716 AP1 irons 6/7/8/9/P/W AND also a W with 52 on it (again I'm guessing loft?)

Titleist BV S GRIND 56/60 loft wedges?

Titleist Surefit Tour Wrench

Had to drive in pouring rain to collect clubs from MGA since I live inner north and got back and had a look and a bit disappointed/confused at lack of sales for

putter/bag

So, I'm guessing I'm going to have to head to the golf shop locally somewhere to get a decent putter and bag to fit clubs (any ideas guys?)

Was deadset keen to go to the driving range and smash a few balls but common sense prevailed and came home and did the washing and tidying up

Cheers

You've been fitted with some good gear there. With that sort of outlay I'm surprised they didn't get you into a Ping copy putter and Titty bag as well

Really nice bag mate. The F stands for fairway or fairway wood. It's a 7 wood and the loft will be about 21°. You're correct with the 52, 56, 60 being the loft on your wedges. The 27 on the hybrid is also the loft. That's probably a 6 hybrid but may be a 5.

As for a putter, best bet is to go to a couple of golf shops and try a bunch of them. They'll have a tiny green where you can try them. Once you find one you like, make note of the details (make, model, length) then get online and find one of those new or used for less money. Buy cheap and change often.

Either that or I expect MGI would be able to fit you into a putter if you're happy to pay.

Yeah Hatchman. I used to work in sales so definitely expected to be sold a putter & bag to complete the set. Lost opportunity but will get out on a green at a golf course and try out a few putters and then go from there..

@3puttpete yeah happy to try out a few putters and then go from there. Why do you suggest to change putters often? If I find something that is good and I'm putting well shouldn't I stick with it? Cheers

[3Puttpete]

I hadn't thought of that

For most of us it's not about if it's working or not, it's about whether you're getting sick of it or not!

[Deester]

will hit them today after work.

And the verdict is Ash ?

[Jazz18]

And the verdict is Ash ?

Interested to hear thoughts as well.

[backintheswing]

The verdict is I couldn't do them justice yesterday. I had 31 points yesterday and 80 off the stick.

I hit 0/7 fairway on the first nine and spent each hole punching out of the trees and then hitting my glide wedges into the par 4's. The back nine I played ok, for 1 over, but hardly hit an iron between 5 to PW as the course was playing very tough due to a strong northerly. So long par 4's were drive hybrid and par 3's were 3 irons, but that has a matrix program 130 in it. Of the 4 or so irons hit with the recoils, they went ok, but my striking was way off. Give me a few weeks to adjust and get used to them and I will report back.

Ping I20 4 to PW shafted up with recoil prototype 110 F4. Did these yesterday and will hit them today after work. All gaps are now consistent, and swingweight a are perfect. Grips are the new Lamkin UTX wrap.

How'd these go Bits?

Haha. So true. Ahh..some things that the wife will never know about or will even be remotely interested in..EVER!! except when she sees the credit card statement. Lol

Make sure you're the one that looks after the money and that's no longer a problem!
