2021 Start of the Year bag setup (typically changes frequently) Note, I am no photographer so apologies for the inadequate WITB photos. Driver -Titleist TSI3 9* in standard A1 setting. Fujikura Ventus Blue 6X 45". Fairway Wood -Taylormade Sim TI 5 wood, 19 . Standard setting. Fujikura Ventus Red 8X 42". Utility/Driving Iron -Titleist u500 3 Iron. Fujikura Ventus Blue HB 9x, standard length. Irons -Miura Combo set. 4-6 TC 201, 7-PW MB 101. Nippon Modus3 120X. Standard length, 2 flat. Wedges -Vokey SM7 50 ,54 ,60 . Dynamic Gold black onyx s400. Standard length. 2 flat. Putter -Artisan 0519 single bend KBS matte shaft. 34".

Thats a nice bag! That u500 setup is super sexy.

@epyon Thanks, I have a long history of looking for the perfect club to fill the gap between fairway wood and 4 iron. Hybrids all tend to go left on me, and I'm not keen on the looks of a 7wood. The u500 seems to be a decent club for the purpose as of now, but I honestly wish I carried it another 10 yards. We will see how the year go, I assume I'll tinker with something else at some point for that 14th club.

LSkip I was in the same spot. Until I found an OG callaway apex 2 hybrid. No left miss

Your bag looks very much like mine is trending going into 2021. Testing TSi3 (currently in a SIM), M5 5 wood (looking at TSi3 or SIM), TC-201, Artisan putter being built now. How is the Ventus Blue in the u500? I was thinking about trying out the Black in a u500 3 iron. I always have issues filling the spots between my 4 iron and driver.

@KentonQ I was between the blue or black in the u500 and glad I went blue. I wanted my utility more for the long par 3/ par 5 approach shots. If I wanted to hit low wind cheaters I would have opted for the black. The blue is easy to elevate, but doesn’t over spin.

Have the itch for a new set of irons. Not really sure why, but I do. Anyone have opinions on the PXG Gen 3 Ts? Looking for something a bit more forgiving than the Miura sticks, and a little extra ball speed on mishits wouldn’t hurt me any either.

LSkip will be able to answer that question soon

@Jaybananapantsarthur saw the Srixons didn’t work for you, any reason why?

LSkip it all comes down to what I see at address, very picky when it comes to top line and face height etc. Hit some good shots with them, they perform well but I see like performance from other options that own that appeal more to my preferences.

@Jaybananapantsarthur understand completely. Keep me updated on the search. Am I reading your previous post correct in that you are going to test the Gen 3 Ts?

@maxbianchi thanks my man. I’m very pleased with everything for now.

Benzo

Wow. That fitting looked awesome!

how are the wedges holding up?

Skip1234

@Benzo they are still in good shape. I try to avoid beating balls with the wedges and keep the grooves religiously clean with all my wedges/irons. I will easily get two good years of 100+ rounds of golf per year before needing another set. I plan to order another set next fall so I’ll have them by next spring. Best money I have spent is that fitting.

LSkip I am in similar shape but I am going to send them down for a faceblast when it gets cold here in a couple weeks. Should look good as new! Will get another 2 seasons out of them that way hopefully.

Benzo

LSkip hell yeah! That’s great…and you can just give them your specs and order up another set right?

gfranktw7

LSkip

Confirmed. The reblast is awesome. They’re like new.

southpawfox

LSkip this setup is insane sir! #baggoals

Skip1234

@gfranktw7 yeah, I thought about sending them in. But from my understanding they don’t touch the face when doing the blast? If that’s the case I don’t really see the need in sending them in.

gfranktw7

LSkip maybe i have a different understanding then...i recall from an instagram story that they essentially blast the face and give you a fresh sharpening of grooves. I reached out to them after they posted an instagram story. could be wrong. I am going to do it in early january here and i'll give you the before an after

Skip1234

@gfranktw7 perfect. I might as well send mine in also, it’s a free service other than shipping cost.

mhales10

Benzo you are correct! They keep all the build sheets for each player.

Skip1234

@Benzo yup. All I have to do is email them and tell them I need another set, they invoice me and send me a exact set of what I previously had.

hojo16

gfranktw7 what was the process to do so?

time it takes and cost?

Skip1234

@gfranktw7 I should probably do that. Looks good 👍

gfranktw7

hojo16 I shipped them down. i threw some grips in there. they can check lofts and lie. regripped for me. shipped em back and invoiced me. once he got them they did it the next day and charged me 25 total dollars. every two years i would get a new set of vokeys. this is a no brainer.

they told me a lot of guys throw a note in there but they just messaged me on instagram and i texted jamie about it. easy.

hojo16

gfranktw7 thanks for the info. Waiting on my first set to be delivered from them
