I bought today.....

If anyone's interested I've gone for stiff Tensie Red graphite shafts, mainly to try and help a bit with the tendinitis I suffer from sometimes, was averaging 175 yds with the 7 iron on the Trackman off a mat, which I'm never really comfortable hitting off, not too bad for a 67 year old, according to the Pro I can still 'get it out there a bit' nice to know !
Picked up the T200's on Monday and they look fantastic, had to be in the house most of the day yesterday to wait delivery of a washing machine but playing at 5 o'clock tonight, can't wait 😀

Well, used my T200's for the 1st time last night and I'm well impressed, didn't flush every shot obviously, wouldn't be a 6 h'cap if I could, but they do what it says they will, high launching and great ball flight, I think the graphite shafts make a difference, for me anyway, away on holiday for a week soon so won't be playing for 10 days or so, a bit of a wait for the next game ........
Oh and i holed a 110 yard wedge for a birdie on the 12th after laying up with a 7 iron 2nd shot, it was my first hit with it 😁
 
I was having a look at zero torque putters this morning and Nordica golf had a brand new square to square Jailbird for £215 - delivery time looked a bit long at 1-2weeks but was free. Given the saving I decided to purchase. I didn’t try the jailbird just the #7 in 34” and I tried the max and other one in 35” .. 35” is my ideal. I don’t like the appearance of the max and other one although I sunk putts. The #7 wasn’t discounted so I figured jailbird will be fine.

After seeing Shiels' review where he waxed lyrical about it, and MyGolfSpy's testing where it scored highly, I really want the TaylorMade Spider 5kZT now. 😁

Please let us know how you get on with it once you're out on the course. (y)

Try a centre shafted putter first to see if you get on with them. I bought one a week ago and so far I’m loving it but I can’t justify shelling out £450 on a putter…can I 🤔🤣

I did get one a while ago and hated it - kept hitting everything out of the toe. But I only gave it about 3 weeks, haha. If I want to get on the zero torque train I don't have a choice.

Honestly, I don't think I'll be buying one this year, I might wait a year and a bit til my 40th for that particular treat.

Try a std spider with the insert before you get invested. I found it a little “poppy” and my distance putting started to become erratic. I moved to just milled faces because of this. But to be honest none of the Odyssey inserts made me feel this way.
I do like the spider putters but £450 is a bit rich and the insert should be an option.

I did also try a Spider Tour a while ago and hated it, but this new one looks very different to be honest. They have a lot of wildly varying designs that they whack a 'spider' label on. Rick actually says this one has an extremely soft-feeling face, so not much 'pop' I wouldn't think.

I will do, I am a bit worried about distance putting and those ones from the fringe .. my current putter is very good for distance control, but occasionally I lose the face control .. so I am hoping this is addressed.

The ideal combination for me it’s the STX face insert and a square to square .. so if cobra step up I may be looking at them unless I am draining putts from everywhere .. then I may promise not to window shop 🤭

Try before you buy .. enjoy the purchasing experience 🙂
 
I’ve got a square to square jailbird centre shaft.
I find it very good on long putts but kept missing left on shorter ones.
It rolls the ball very nicely.
From the fringe it’s like any other putter ,it depends how good the fringe is.!

It needs quite a lot of shaft lean so you can’t see the insert before putting.( this is recommended)
I found this a bit difficult to get used to.
I have gone back to my Scotty for now but will give the jailbird another go soon.
 
I gave my Spalding T P Mills TPM3 a run out yesterday at Saunton, 33" rather than my preferred 34", got on well with it and pleased how it performed overall.
If I remember correctly it was a gift from former forumite Foxholer. 👍

After ordering some weeks back I'm now in england and finally got a few bits of golf clothing and some non golf stuff
Couple of pineapple skull golf shirts from druids I think it was, after seeing @GreiginFife mention them, should go down a storm when I get back to the island
Few bits of UA gear, caps etc (to keep up my sponsor commitments) but unfortunatly couldn't add to my shirts at their outlet store, very low stock
