Thought we could post things were thinking of getting or building here. I saw a local guy selling a set of Original Nike Blades. Not on the best of shape b...

sdandrea1 Just remembered I have a nice set (heads) of the 990CB.🤔iirc, I did black ox some of them.

I was going to demo the recoil dart 90 shaft but I just left the gym , got on the highway and it’s stopped. 20 minute ride will take an hour and 15. Screw that…

sdandrea1

Par4QC 8-PW. Shaft choices are minimal in graphite and an upcharge for all.

I would do 8-W in lightweight steel. Nippon.❤️

Par4QC

sdandrea1 Upcharge also. $30/ea., iirc.

Ordered my free clubs today. I didn’t get to try the Dart 90 iron shaft due to traffic so I sorta gave up on it, took it as a sign to stick with the Steelfiber decision since it was my #1 choice anyway. Ordered 4-A wedge with Steelfiber i95 regular shafts.

Awaiting pics. They're required.😉

sdandrea1 F’n A…. The “ shop worn” finish came out yesterday… AFTER my clubs were ordered. I texted to ask if maybe my order was delayed or whatever. They said they’d check but I doubt it. THAT finish I like because it’s the metal only darker, NOT a totally different color that’ll look like crap when it wears off the face.

Thinking of trying out a Taylormade MG4 wedge…have heard good things…but still pondering…🤔

VigilanteTrail

After the EYE2+, wedges are wedges ..

Typhoon

VigilanteTrail I have MG and love them. The MG4 is possibly the best spin ever in any wedge. And the shape/size is still so classic . Good deals can be had on them with the MG5 coming out. I’m not sure the MG5 can top the MG4.

Par4QC

Typhoon Not sure how it works with you doing things for TM, and getting special orders for yourself, but if I special order those clubs, they are not available til late December!!😲

VigilanteTrail

Typhoon And the shape/size is still so classic

Agreed!

Local store only had one MG4 left in stock…raw version in the loft that I wanted…so I pulled the trigger

Typhoon

Par4QC That’d be fine with me, I already have clubs and I’ll pack it in by the end of September anyway.

sdandrea1 Srixon Zi7 might be the ticket. Gorgeous, yet surprisingly forgiving.

Walterjn

rsvman2 sounds like a Srixon.

I still have the Qi10 core model cracked to turn in for warranty. On the fence over the qi35 they would replace it with. Think I’ll hold on to it until next season and roll the dice on what’s after the qi35.

In the meantime I’m pondering a Qi10LS 10.5 degree. Not a huge fan of the shape but at 10.5 the low launch low spin head might be fun to have. Got a local guy selling one with a nice Tensei white for a good price. Hmmm🤔

Just get the qi35, that one will crack in time for whatever comes next.

Typhoon

garyt1957 The cracks are great, you get a new club every year. The qi35 drivers however are not cracking.

KCee

Typhoon I've heard that if you play a Glow Ball tournament they have a better chance of cracking. Only heard of one new Qi35 doing that, but the Stealth was a victim of some our night tournaments lol.

I guess this isn't pondering, so much, since I actually bought the club, but I just wanted to report that I bought a gorgeous Cleveland CBX 56-degree wedge with a bounce of 14, mostly for use in the sand, but also for short approaches and perhaps occasionally for chipping.

My Srixon PW is 44, and the gap wedge is 50, so I thought the 56 would be perfect. I got an 80 gram graphite shaft, so it will match with my irons.

I had it regripped with the CP2 Pro red in jumbo. Looks amazing because the shaft is also black with red and white.

Can't wait to put it into play.
