I bought today.....

Nippon shafts are always a bit "softer" to flex than the likes of TT. Feel is subjective but they are also a "smoother" shaft as well.

I liked my Nippon 105 shafts when I had them but my combination of arthritis, tendonitis and carpel tunnel forced me into graphite shafts in my early 40's.
 
I should have opened a book on how long it would take:ROFLMAO:
Hey, we're both Seniors now - surely you'd be interested in the Blueprints..?:unsure:

The blueprints do look nice. However, I have gone to the dark side with a set of Cobra CBs. I am not playing as much, and even with my manky ball striking I need a bit of help. I feel I am letting myself down. Grim.

Recently started using Nippons and I really agree they feel lovely and soft.

Modus 120’s in my irons (765 Srixon) and weirdly an NS Pro 950 (?)in my T-mb 2 iron.

Initially I felt that the super light NS pro might not be for me as I can whack a ball a long way.

However it’s a real sling shot. Capable of launching some real rockets and the lightness really feels lovely in such a long iron shaft.

Had the tmb 3 iron with a PX Lz 6.0 and it was a horrible feeling thing. Really dead even on a sweet contact.

Flogged it as a result.

Horses for courses though.
 
I recently got some Tour S BOA shoes but sick of having them in the boot.

Saw the DNA helix BOA were on offer so picked up a pair which allows me to leave a pair in the locker at each club.

Just slipped them on and they feel just about as nice to me and a similar platform so winner!

The headcovers arrived to along with £20 custom duty 🙄 however an extra one was chucked in, so Winner.

Pickle Rick! Ha, your headcovers are amazing. You probably said before but where did you get them from?

They're from this Etsy shop, the guy is great. He posted them immediately and they actually arrived within a few days but I was on holiday so didn't have the slip to pay custom charges. I got to know him through another media platform so thought i'd support his store, he kindly chucked in the pickle rick as we had spoke a few times previously. I like rick and morty so it was a nice surprise.

The quality is actually really good.

He does limited quantities of each design I believe so unfortunately a lot of designs are no longer available.
 
2 dozen snell golf balls.

I seem to remember that there was a recommended ball between MTB-X and MTB black for golfers with slower swing speed but I can’t find anything about it anymore. So I bought one each.
 
Somehow the ‘get sum’ didn’t appeal to me. I know they would be the sensible choice for someone who lacks control of the ball like I do, but I just like to go ‘premium’ as I do a lot of range work and lessons so I hopefully should improve.
 
Nice pair of grey adi pure spikeless for 80 notes.

Ebay store selling them a fair bit cheaper than the rrp or Adidas store.

Fancied them for a while but not at full wack.
 
A putter fitting at EM Golf Studio.

Want to have a look at my stroke on Quintic, and have my eye flicking towards a Odyssey StrokeLab #7
