The feeling of buying new clubs...

[BredStik]

A litte about myself...

I've been playing more seriously for about 2 years. I still don't get on the course as much as I want, but I play 10-15 rounds per summer and go to the practice range once a week during the summer. I have managed to get a round under 90 this last summer but usually play close to 95. I've used the same irons since the beginning (Wilson ProStaff AD) and swapped driver, putter, wedges and woods many times...

I recently changed my irons. I was getting good results with the Wilsons, but they gave me a really high trajectory and not penetrating enough for my taste. But I guess it's what you get for a cheapo ultra-oversized irons. I tried my friend's Ben Hogan Edge CFT irons and liked them instantly. The look, the feel, the distance gain... ;-) So I found a set on ebay and took the plunge.

I received them yesterday... What a joy to unwrap new clubs! I took a good look at each of them and made a couple of swings in my basement. I finally cleaned them all and put them in my bag to replace my old irons. They look great!

I have slowly built a set that I like a lot, especially for the money I put in. Most of my clubs are used, but in great condition. In fact, only one club was bought new in my entire set. My entire set cost my less than 600$. It sure ain't a "player's" set, but it fits me perfectly.

Here's what I currently have in my bag (and intent to keep that way at least for the 2007 season!):

TaylorMade R580 driver
TaylorMade 200 Steel 3w
Dunlop Flame 7w
Ben Hogan CFT Edge 3i to PW
Wilson Harmonized 50 and 55 degree wedges
Odyssey DFX-1100

What about you? What's your story, what did you change recently, how you felt about it? Tell me about it! Looking forward Spring 2007...

Welcome to the forum. It must be killing you to see all that snow out there and not being able to hit your shiny new clubs.

Sounds like a good set. I am like you, I play 10-15 times a season, and play to a 24 hcp, so 91-99 is my range. I have a Dunlop Flame 7w as well (5W too) and it's a nice club for the price, I got mine for $25 at sports expert. I don't have the funds to buy any new clubs so I was happy to find that those Dunlop fairway woods did the job for the price.

Good luck for the season, hope those new irons have you firing consistantly in the 80s.

About this Dunlop Flame fairway wood, it's my "go to" club when I have 190-200vgs left and want the ball to have little roll. I usually hit with almost no roll, so it's nice for soft landing long approach shot. It's probably the "easiest" fairway wood I've hit.

u hang around here long enough i can almost guarentee u will be saying goodbye to at least one of your clubs and adopting a new one (as geoff would call it)

[Ginker]

If Geoff calls it "adopting" he must be like Foster Parent of the Year, or even century.. But what does he call it when he lets them go?

finding them a new home until the person neglects them and they come running back to geoff... or rather he doesnt want them to feel bad anymore so he BUYs them back. what a guy, alwasy looking out in the best intrest of his kids,... i mean clubs
