I am buying new clubs!

[chrisd]

Well, I succumbed in the end

I've ordered the JPX850 Forged with the Nippon regular shaft, 5 to p/w and a 51* gap wedge in black with my initials on (CAD), Tour Velvet grips and one layer of tape. Standard lie and length

The clincher - someone let me have a hit of their full set on the range and they all went really well - do I need another excuse?

Too right - absolute basic mistake!

Nice one Chris- I hope you enjoy them!!!!

Only thing is- I don't think they are as strong (loft wise) than your current irons. Do they go a little shorter?

 

[ScienceBoy]

I would love new clubs, I only have 13 ATM and I am thinking of slapping in a 60*.

Either that or I totally redo the top end of my bag, replacing my 2h, 4 and 5 irons with 4 clubs between my 6i and 3 wood.

thanks Dave

No they are shorter in length and up to 2* less lifted, but they still go a decent distance. The pro has agreed a free gapping session when they arrive.

Let's hope they go well for the Gainsborough meet as we'll be on the same team. I look forward to seeing you again Dave!

If it gives you better contact and improves your technique then they should go further!

Reckon you'll be following Chris into new shiney territory it's only a matter of time until you succumb although you are lasting longer than Chris. enjoy the new shineys.

Actually it was a close call. The pro spent about 2 hours helping me find the right shaft etc and testing to see that I would hit better dispersion and look at the different flights with several shafts.

It was only when I found someone with a full set of the clubs who let me have a hit right through the set to see how each club went that I finally ordered. Contrast that to my Callaways where I hit the demo 6 iron on the course and took the set off the shelf!
And the decision had nothing to do with my 9 on a par 3 today either!!

He's not lasting longer, I did a Callaway fitting earlier than the Forum Titleist day! :whoo:

Ha ha, it was just a matter of time!

Tell me, is there a golf club make you have not owned...
