    ptjn1201 Debating whether to order an Acer XDS Hybrid Iron head or two to try.

    There's a set for sale here in the buzz......

    • In How did you shoot today at Golf

      We had the same beautiful weather as @MidwayJ .
      86 with 8 GIR and 37 putts. 4 doubles. Putting and chipping was not good. The greens are crusty and fast. Lots of break, even in short putts. I’m hitting it on my intended lines but I’m not figuring them out.

      On the bright side, very bright, I realized something that I’ve been doing wrong in my setup. My irons were much better. I go through this at least every year. What feels good is not what is good.

      I hit and parred all four par 3s. Three of them with 6H and the long one with 7W. I got two of the greenies, but didn’t make the putts.

      Our team was beaten like a drum. DFL.

      Yes I remember sending packages to Ireland but cannot remember the FGI name🤔. I don't.think I ever shipped to Sweden but did to Iceland once. It was a fairly easy process....if the people.at.the PO knew what they were doing🙃

          MidwayJ Had several transactions with Daryl also. There was also a Lars from Sweden that I shipped a lot of toys to, esp. the Blue Velvet shafts.

          And then there was @RedC from Maylasia😄. Not sure if he ever joined up here but still see him on FB at times.
          I'll bet that name rings a bell for you @MidwayJ. iirc, you shipped some items to me to forward to him, as I did a lot of times.

              Just glued up this Maltby FDI 4 iron in my usual graphite shaft, UST iRN. I’ve never really given it a chance to make the bag before. @MidwayJ just posted about building one, and my hybrids are really misbehaving. So it’s time to try it. I can live with a lower shot, maybe.

              I have it bent upright. I put in the heaviest weight they sell, 14 grams. And added another 7 or so of lead powder into the hollow head. It’s gonna be 38 inches.

                He hasn't been active much, but I thought I remember a post from him not too long ago.
