I bought today.....

Are you coming from Vokeys? Fit the same as previous models?

i had a proper vokey fit a few years ago at Titleist, but this one was different. Different length, bounce, grinds and lofts - but I played part in the lofts. I only really wanted 52 and 58, unless there was a mega benefit to carrying another. There wasn’t, so we stuck with it.

was 0.5” longer in this fit too. They felt mega. Range visit tomorrow, and then into the bag for 2 comps this weekend
 
Got my SM9s delivered yesterday.

now don’t want to use them in case they get stone chips!

What grind did you go for in the 58?

I got two sm8's at the tail end of last summer. Ordered a 50 and 56. After putting in an order I changed from a d to an f grind which I had been using previously in the 56. Panicked at the thought of too much change. I decided to stick with what I knew.

Because I changed my mind I had to wait an extra 3 weeks or so for the 56 to arrive.

58 is in the K grind, 14° bounce.

I wasn’t sure if it would work as it’s touted as a ‘bunker’ club….but I hit some off some pretty tight lies around the chipping green that they had at Titleist, opened the face for some delicate shots etc and it was fine!

Nice. I've had the same K grind wedge in the bag since 2014.

The sole on it is the key to using it. Open it slightly and slide it in under the ball. Just glides along the turf every time.

My one has a little less bounce than yours at 11degrees. I'm not sure what vokey moved it to 14 degrees. I'm afraid to change it now as I know the club inside out now.
 
That looks like you need very long arms or very short legs to reach your clubs easily. What's the benefit of a bag like that?

Bought it mainly for walking to the course with a few clubs to the practice area. Bigger than a 'practice' bag, smaller than a stand bag.
There's wooden stands at the range to hold the golf bags, so it'll stand in those and i'll use the mini legs to keep it off the ground when i use the short game area & putting greens
Used it on a full round with half set in it yesterday just to see if it's suitable (strapped into the golf cart & it worked fine) so I'll probably use it on away days to save lugging the cart bag back & forth
 
I came close to buying those (shorts). Are they any good?
They got delivered today. Now I'm not sure if these are small sized or Adidas trousers are lying to make you feel better about yourself but these 2 items are supposedly the same size waist.

Looks and feels like a good 2 inch different. I'm sure if I tried to play in those shorts I'd rip the arse out of them on the first.

Need to send them back and get the next size up. Other than that they felt like decent quality for the price.

The Cutter And Buck gilet I bought isn't the same material as the Sunderland one I got a while ago from County Golf. Don't think it's going to be as warm and again although both said they are the same size chest the Cutter and Buck one is definitely tighter. The Cutter And Buck one is 100% polyester while the Sunderland one is 100% nylon.
 
Bought myself a pair of the new air Jordan low 12 taxi shoes. look amazing in pics n Harold Varner third been wearing them. Can’t wait for better weather to wear for first time.View attachment 41758

Got to have a golf game to wear those and get away with it. I know how much grief I'd get if I rocked up for the Sunday roll up in these. Bad enough with some of the Myjoys I have
 
Bought a 9d Cobra f speed driver with stiff shaft. It is the same as my 10.5d regular flex that I bought in 2010 for £25.
So I will see if it gives an improvement. Worth £24 to find out, I thought.
Up to 5 day lead-in time as is usual with ebay.
I will probably have a driver to sell for £30 later in the year. ;););)
Expected delivery Tues 15th.
That's merely 12 days after the seller got a tracking number.

Hermes strikes again!

At least it is not "lost".
 
Big purchase this ? mid-week ordered a 'switchblade pitch mark repairer'. Arrived Friday so had an outing yesterday. Despite my overall rubbish play, the hitting greens part was actually good so used a fair few times.
