I bought today.....

[Teebs]

Not bought but nearly.

Tested a G425 Hybrid and it was awful for me, something about their standard Alta shaft doesn't work for my swing. The search continues...

 

[Yorkhacker]

How come you nearly bought it, if it was awful for you? We're you thinking of buying it without trying it first?

 

[Teebs]

I was hoping it would be a good fit based on reviews, sadly not.

£10 for an hour on the Toptracer bay at Hertsmere. Intention is to do a distance/gap check through the bag, but I'll have to wait and see how accurate I feel those numbers are from the Toptracer. Not tried it before really.

A guide, no more than that. Range balls for a start.

Some Toptracer places adjust their yardages to account for it don't they? If not I know roughly what yardage I normally get so I can always increase/decrease all of them by the same factor I suppose.

On the adjusted ranges, shorter irons are OK but I always find the drivers and longer clubs are underestimated by around 10% or so. Varies range to range

At my range a basket of balls is of variable quality.

My pro uses trackman so I know the local range can be 10-20% out.

Weirdly I had the opposite problem. The mid to longer clubs were not too far off but the short irons and wedges were 10-15 yards shorter than they should have been. Might have been because of the left to right wind that was blowing across though.

New lob wedge. Replacing my old sm5. Will use the old one in winter. 11 bounce on the old. Nearly half that with 6 on the new. Still the trusty k grind. Love it.

 

[Mandofred]

After experimenting with an 11 wood for a while now, it's not quite doing what I was hoping it would (height). Just ordered a Ping 6 and 7 hybrid......a fool and his money.......

All paid for in 6 months then?

I think I might be a bit out of touch with prices for brand new stuff.

Is it 4 months?

I tried 4 different shafts but found these most consistent, so hoping that continues when I get them. I’ve had project X 5.5 for about 16 years. That new shaft didn’t feel as ‘boardy’ as the project x so I’m they are going to be easier to get airborne. That along with a more forgiving head.

Lol. 12 months

 

[Sausagefingers23]

A Footjoy hydrolite jacket, 3 dozen bridgestone E12 contact balls and a PXG driver fitting session at the end of the month

 

[5OTT]

Ping G425 Max driver, 9 degree with a stiff shaft.

 

[Voyager EMH]

A set of Lillywhite Frowd irons numbered 2 to 8

 

[peld]

Yesterday i took the plunge and ordered a PXG Gen 5 driver.
For £250 and a no questions return policy thought it might be worth a shot. The Taylormade M6 has been out for about 4 years, so hoping some tech has evolved to give me some distance/accuracy. Though did hit 3/3 fairways with the M6 last night with drives of 260y (in to wind), 280y and 300y so it must know its place in the bag is under threat!
