Rickochet Also a great fan of the Integra Sooolong 450.

The "infamous" wear your safety goggles 450 and say Soolong to it after a week.

Years ago there was a "war" between two members of the family that marketed the Integra brand and similar clubs were being made at two different factories. Stuff from one was good the other was crap. You must have gotten one of the crap ones. I have one that is at least 10 years old. I ordered a set of Sooolong fairway heads from a vendor and got two from one factory and two from the other. The paint color was the same but stampings were different sizes. There was a significant performance diff as well.

Rickochet I still have an Integra Beta Ti 450 that I put in the bag once in a while. It was my first titanium driver, deep faced, and I still hit it pretty well, although I've had about 5 different shafts in it. This was before they came out with the SoooooLong. I'd buy a SooooLong today, except for the ugly blue color!

Unlike many at FGI and some here, I don't go half cocked after one bad experience, so there was more.
One visit at Cliff's custom club shop was an eye opener when I saw the large bucket of manufacturer returns for credit and there was at least half a dozen Soolongs in there, maybe more.
No other company had more than one head in there .
BTW, a Bang 450 was in there 😉

An old, old picture of them but they will be in the bag tomorrow morning. I try to give them some daylight a couple times/year. No better than I'm playing right now, they may stay in the bag for a while.

Rickochet Maybe a new Golf Channel commentator?

It's all of them whenever they talk about Tiger.

Took the Raptures to the range today in order to learn yardages, but the range was in quite a bit of disorder after all of the rain we’ve had. None of the flags were anywhere near their normal yardage and so I still don’t have a clue. Looks like the regular graphite shafts and purple lie angle are agreeable with my swing though. After I stopped over swinging (took about 30 or 40 balls) everything was string straight along the point of aim.

sdandrea1 I a have a set of eye’s, eye 2’s, I3’s and then 2-5 of the G2HL’s. The eye 2’s are awesome, but I think the original eye’s are my favorites.

Dang, Steve how did you run across this old thread? FWIW since I posted this I tried some Ping G400 irons and sent them back. I like the old fugly Eyes also. I reamed out a set of Eyes last summer and really liked them with the FST shafts. Distance was a bit short but so was most everything else I tried but I hit them well. At the end of the summer I picked up a set of Eye 2 + orange dots and will ream them out this winter (with a reamer - private joke). I hope to get a bit more distance than with the Eye 2. I have weeded out most other iron sets I had and now have only some Hireko thick topline shovels and two sets of Ping fugly shovels. Me likey. 😁
