I bought today.....

New shinies following my fitting at left handed golf in silvermere.

I tried the apex pro, i blade, cobra blades and the srixon z585’s.

The cobras looked nice but were awful to hit
The iblades felt good but I didn't really like them.
The apex’s pros were great and so were the srixons both giving similar numbers - 185-190 yards with a 7 iron so a good 20 yards more than my current irons
I went for the srixons with kbs s taper stiff shafts 1/2 inch longer as I felt more comfortable with them.
Hopefully they’ll be with me next weekend

Very nice mate. Don’t you, chrisd and jobr do the same boot fair, you will put American golf out of business

Nice
Aren't the 585's a bit "cavity back" for you..?

Yeah and I was shocked how much I liked them when i saw them in the shop. The numbers were good and that’s more important.
Think it’ll take some getting use to having that thicker top line
 
My mistake, I’ve got the 565’s but they’re still a nice looking set of bats.
Just to need to sell both sets of blades I’ve got.
Surely with your SS you’d easily sit in X. I have X in C-tapers and they don’t feel stout.
Amazed your not in at least S+. Your quick with tempo no?

I was on the line of stiff/x and I found the stiff flex better and I could relax a bit more swinging
 
Well, apart from an UA bargain which I don't think I will get I needed a practice bag for balls. Checked at Amazon and the only way to make sure it fits 20ish balls, get a bag with 20ish balls in it. 24 Pro-V-1 lake balls. Never played them, and the ones I found are usually drawn (sliced actually) towards water and I never finished a round with one.

Going to have a go at the chipping green and practice bunker next weekend.
 
Thought you loved your Nike Covert. Just time for a change?
I do like it, and I will be keeping it just in case for a few weeks. However, I have been conscious for a little while that I have hit a plateau in terms of distance with it and it is just a little too short when playing off white tees at most courses. Fine off the yellows but a bit too short off the whites. I have whacked a few drivers from friends and family over the last few months and discovered that with the same swing on the same course I can get an extra 10-20yds. That is huge when you are a relatively short hitter. I played in an Open on Saturday and that was the final straw, I was too far behind my pp's and my approaches to the green were much harder because of it.

I can be fairly consistent with the Nike so if the Cobra doesn't play nicely often enough I will accept the distance loss and it will be back in the bag. I should add, my son can smash the Nike out of sight so it is not the club. It is the combination of me and the club. It works well but I need it to work better.

Are you happy with the G30? I've gone G25 mad in my bag and was tempted to go for the same in the driver but when Wolf posted his club up for sale it seemed too good a chance to not try it out.
