I'm definitely a club ho, and major tinkerer. I feel my bag is mostly set, but I'll likely be switching up the wedges (want to check out Artisan once they offer lefty), and still hunting for a good lefty NP2.

maxbianchi did you go to ASU as well?? No sir, just a fan.

So historically I've been an amazing wedge player. Like really good. I don't get that much time to practice anymore, and lately inside of 100 yards I flat out stink. I'm not going to use the "Y" word, but it's close. I watched this video today, switched to my old Vokey....and it's like a light went off. We are cured! at least for now...

Loved that video when I first saw it. Good stuff.

Jokes no but I know a handful of people that are, as well as the owner so I’ve played out there a handful of times. Best course in Mn in my opinion.

ForeLeft I haven't played down there yet but am moving down from the Duluth area. It is on the top of my list for memberships in the future.

Jokes I need to get over to Northland. Heard it’s sick. Let me know if you need any connections to get out to Windsong.

ForeLeft Its a great Donald ross design that has undergone lots of change in recent years. With the grain it is pretty tough to putt on the greens. Most uphill putts always seem to be into the grain and downhill end up being down grain and unstoppable in some cases. Overall great test of golf. If you are ever in Duluth this summer let me know and I would be happy to have you as a guest.

Well, I have to say I blame @maxbianchi on this one. I have been absolutely murdering the ball since switching to an X flex this season. Playing extremely well. Hole 2 tonight, stipe one down the middle... think nothing of it. Hit it to a foot, tap in bird. Let's Go. Hole 3 is a short par 4...just the Sexwood off the tee. Hole 4 is a par 3. Get to hole 5, a short par 5. Take the driver out of the bag and tap it on ground like a normally do...and hear a very weird rattle. I think the epoxy has failed. Face Palm. Pulled out 3 wood and still got home in 2, made bird to go 2 down. Went on to par out and shoot a bogey free 34 (-2) but a club breaking is never fun. Decided to reach out to a pro friend of mine, and he's going to hook me up with PUD. Going to copy @DaHOF a little but with a twist (make my own triple diamond in a way). Mavrik SZ 9º (will likely turn down) Graphite Design AD XC 6x Two 8 gram weights (instead fo the standard 14g and 2g). Stay Tuned...I guess?

Photoshop will be my demise.... already designing my Artisan Wedges for when they offer lefty...

Thought about putting Cheat codes on them....This one is "Perfect Handling" from GTA on ps2

Have thoughts from other games codes for my other wedges....NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Wayne Gretzky 99 on n64...etc.

ForeLeft I love this on so many levels.

Order has been submitted for my 0117. I can't wait. Inspiration from Rickie's current Cameron with a mix of my own flair.

Also, I've been battling some arm pain for the last 5 years. I think it's finally time to go graphite.

Contemplating what irons and shaft to go for this winter....

Head options:
TM P7MC
Fuijmoto FT-1 CB (clarifying if available lefty)
Miura 801 CB
Awaiting to see what is coming form Callaway

Shaft options:
MMT 105TX
SteelFiber h-tour 120 in TS. (Japan Spec)
SteelFiber J- Series 108 in X. (Japan Spec)

ForeLeft cannot wait to see the finished product on this. I'm intrigued by the blue fade neck

ForeLeft

Thinking I need to get refit this winter.

Have a feeling Counter Balanced wood shaft will be be best for me. That's what I've had the most success with, and the AD XC is erratic. When it's on its on...but when it's off it's off.

Thinking Tz6 CB with some fun custom colors. Maybe Tensei orange raw? any other options I should take a look at? Oban Kiyoshi HB was excellent. I'm pissed that broke.

Need something stiffer in irons as well.

I really enjoy the VR shaft, so much so that I’m going to get another one for the driver, it’s slightly counterbalanced, might give you a smoother transition than the xc.

ForeLeft

Some purchases have been made. Mail day coming soon. Need to get dialed before club championship.

seth910

ForeLeft can’t wait to see the new setup!

ForeLeft

Eddie I’m hesitant to go anything GD after this. Only my 2nd ever X flex shaft and it felt like a regular. The AD XC I expected to be like rebar as it was touted as their most Stout and low/low shaft.

Eddie

ForeLeft

how about Hzrdus smoke green small batch? Looks amazing and is rebar without a doubt.

Eddie I had the OG t1100 and was spinning it at 600 rpm 😂😂

+6 to +9? Wtf lol!!!

How about VA shafts nemisys shaft? Counterbalanced and not super low spin.

Well, after the PGA discussion and what might be the greatest quote of all time...”faders eat fillets”...I decided to put it to the test tonight. The driver has also been flying mighty low, so I upped her 1° to 10° which is a HUGE change from the 7° my G410 LST was at before that broke.

I can honestly say I haven’t hit the ball this well in a long time. I’ve been fighting a big old hook as of late, and tonight was a sick little 2 yard cut. My flight was higher, ball flight was more eye appealing, and was throwing darts. it helps that the spider made EVERYTHING too.

Ball flight was MUCH better with the loft change on the driver, but I’m still excited for the new shaft on order that I can go after a little more.

Nice little 32 tonight! Time to get some practice in during the next month or so before Club Championship begins.

Jokes

ForeLeft I hit up on the ball a ton similar to you (+4-5). Despite this I seem to drive it much better with a driver in the 10 degree range rather then lower 7-9. Misses are much better and apex doesnt vary as much as one would think.

tinkerer

@ForeLeft I was fighting the same things with driver as you are and the TZ6 has been amazing eliminating the left side ( as a righty) hitting high fades.

Also I may be biased as I just picked up a set but add the T100’s to your list if you haven’t tried them yet

ForeLeft

Tensei Orange AV Raw in 65g TX arrived today. Throwing in some new TP5x Pix balls too (Mad at myself I thought I ordered tp5).

Commence the testing!!

tinkerer

@ForeLeft excited to hear how the Tensei works that was the only shaft I considered other than the Accra and I’ve been considering a new 3 wood shaft

So we essentially had tornadoes going on last night. And about to happen again today.

I live 2 minutes from the course (and in November we will be moved into our house on the course)...dangerous when you work form home. lol.

I took my 15 minute break to jet over there and hit a couple balls on the range. I had a half bag of balls in my trunk, and brought the newly assembled D stick.

The waggle test is approved. I love the weight of it. it just feels right. I'm not great with words when it comes to describing how a shaft feels, but I can tell when I like it. And this feels good!

First ball was laced out there, a nice 2 yard cut at my preferred launch and trajectory. Much better than the AD XC I had...

All 10 balls I hit were great....and then the lighting started (and my break was over) so I had to scoot back.

Can't wait to get more testing in on this, and see how it performs on the course!
