I bought today.....

A Ping Zing 2 Be Cu 61* lob wedge.

For some strange reason I found myself looking at a Mizuno T22 wedge but kept on fighting the demons and telling myself that I didn't want a lob wedge. Then I spotted the Ping, very funky, very unique, very cheap.

Re-shaft, re-grip, practice, Bobs your uncle.

I have recently acquired a 3-SW set of BeCu Eye2.

Today I decided to give the SW a soak in salted white vinegar.





Don't think I'll bother with the rest though. The SW looks very very shiny next to the others. I like that.
I've regripped the lot and played one game with them so far. Up and down twice out of three times with the SW on the course. One success was a bunker.

That's like polishing coins, don't do it or you'll lose resale value.

12 months time it will look like the others again.
Definitely not going to do the rest so I don't think resale value of the whole set will be much affected.
Won't be selling these anytime soon, anyway.

I bought a set of the same Eye 2 BeCu years ago and cleaned all of mine with Coca Cola. This now leaves me wondering what the correlation between coke and white vinegar is

for one thing, both are acidic.

and Tesco distilled white vinegar is cheaper.

It probably tastes better as well.

The day after I bought a Stealth 2 rescue that offer came up.
that said, the club was in much better condition than in the pictures and it came with a shaft I wanted so I have no complaints really, the thing is a weapon.

Just bought 4 dozen of the left dash as I've never tried them. Hopefully they will last the season.

Adidas MC80 Golf Shoes, £115 including a "free" shoe bag from Snainton - reviews are good and I find my FJ Premiere's a little uncomfortable at times

Also gone half with a mate on 4 for 3 Titleist ProV1x Balls, Snainton still have a 10% voucher code, so they've cost £129.46 for 48 balls, so £2.70/ball.
