The main dislikes of the X-20/22 were the Uniflex steel shafts. I don't understand how one person who uses a A-flex and another person with a S-flex can use the same Uniflex shaft on these irons.

I tried out the new X-22 (6i and 8i) in both Uniflex steel shaft and Project X 5.5/6.0/6.5 shafts. For me, the 5.5 was the best feeling shaft. My friend did the same, and he liked the 6.5. Mind you that I play with R-flex, and friend plays with S-flex clubs.

My point is that you need to try out the clubs at a range, or if possible, at the course with your current ball for a few holes. See which club fits you better. Then get fitted for those clubs.

DocT. I ve never read or heard and good reposts on those Uniflex shafts. They just don't have very good feel or performance. I had one set of irons with them, and didn't care much for the set. I've played R flex ,and I've played XS flex in my irons. and I'd say any of these shafts worked better than the Unifex set. I"ve got the Rifle Project X Flighted 5.0 shafts in one set of irons, and they are an excellent set of clubs.

Jesh, lots of nice used putters out there.

Footelong, do you suppose that the innuendo associated with your moniker is the unconscious reason why everyone has shortened it when addressing you? You're not female, are you? wink You've got me laughing, thanks.

87vert, are these your first Vokeys? I haven't got any, but I've been tempted.

Laney; I just got in a new Vokey Oil Can finish 56/10 spin milled wedge. Won it for filling out some golf surveys over the past few years. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, as I've got enough wedges already. I like the look of the Oil Can finish, for what ever that's worth.

Hey everyone... I haven't been on to post in quite some time. Been reading some of the discussion just haven't added anything in recently.

Just wanted to post here, I'm changing my bag around. I'm taking out my Titleist 690mb blades and putting in a set of Mizuno MP-60's. I wanted something still very traditional but that would provide me with a bit more forgiveness than the butter knifes i'm currently using. I really hit my blades "good" by most standards, however a recent addition to our family (a beautiful now 4 mo old baby girl) is going to severely limit my playing time for the forseeable future.

Thought it best if I found something a tad more forgiving so that when I do get to play I will have a bit more enjoyment. Just curious what everyone thinks of the switch and if I made a wise choice with the Mizuno's.

Thanks.

Sox,
Where have you been? Congratulations on the addition of your new daughter. What is her name?
By switching to the Mizuno MP60's, you have shown yourself to be a man of unquestionable taste, blameless judgement and faultless reserve. smile
Great set of irons, especially for a person who likes the feel of blades but wants a little "boost" thrown in. cool
Nice to see you're still around.

Welcome back Sox!

And congrats on the newborn! My daughter is also 4 months old. Wish I could get back on the golf course as much as you do too.

I've changed my bag, even though I haven't been playing for months.

I've replaced my driver with the Callaway FT-IQ after hitting it at a golf show back in Feb and loving it. Finally got around to getting it, along with the 2 fw (5w and 7w) for $1 (50 cents each). This is basically my first Father's Day gift. smile

Bill & Doc thanks for the replies.

Baby's name is Violet, she was born the end of Jan so life has been quite hectic since then. Trying to still get out once a week at the moment but it's a battle some weeks to find a couple free hours.

Playing in a 9 hole league tonight, will be my first "round" with the mizuno's so i'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes later on.

So far so good w/ the mizuno's. First round with them last night. Found i have a tendency to miss a little left with them if i miss, but my swing felt real good last night so i hit a lot of good feeling quality shots with them.

Won't go into too much detail, 6 greens in reg, could have easily been all 9 if i would have played a little "smarter" but my league dictates playing riskier so a couple times i took unnecessary chances.

Ok, I have officially placed a new driver in the bag. The winner is the x-Speed Pro Series Cobra driver. This thing is super nice, quiet (compared to my older Cobra) and as long, and able to be worked left or right pretty easily. Very nice addition to the bag. Thanks Bill!

Hi rvick! I got curious, and here is what I found on your city's website:
"Grand Island is halfway between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY. 55% of the population of the U.S. lives within 500 miles of Grand Island, making us a perfectly located Northeast hub. 62% of the Canadian population is within 500 miles as well."

Sounds like a pretty cool place to live, coming from a cranky urban dweller. How many months of the year do you play golf?

Welcome to the site.

Grand Island is 5 mins North of Buffalo City Line, and I can see the Falls from my back porch. As far as playing time it all depends on the winter, everyones heard horror stories about Buffalo winters, yeah we get alot of snow but the concentration of it falls in Jan and Feb 3rd week of March its just warm enough to get out there if the courses allow it. For instance this year there was 2 weeks in Feb where the weather was so abnormal it hit in the 70's for a couple weeks so we got out and played as much as possible, But Generally I play from the first week in April until around Halloween. What I like about the area is there are alot of nice courses, weather it be within a hour drive, up in Ontario Canada or in the Rochester area

Sadly No Cleveland Bag ATM, actually the Bag is the next upgrade, playing with an old Bagboy bag but its time for an upgrade...any suggestions. I'm really happy with the overall quality of the Cleveland clubs, the driver I upgraded from an old Launcher 330, and just this weekend hit the new launcher and Monster Hybore so, stay tuned new weapons might be making their way into the bag..



-Rob

Rob, it sounds like a dreamy place to live. My daughter spent a few years in grad school in Toronto, so I've visited the general area. I'm hoping you get sucked into this group (in a pleasurable way, of course), and we can get a GGR outing near you sometime. We've got a big contingent pretty close to you, and Southwest flies to Buffalo.

I finally have decided exactly what clubs I'm getting for my bag:

Driver is 2007 Burner 10.5 S Flex
3 Wood is a 12.5 Strong Adams InSight S Flex
5 Wood is a Mizuno F60 18 S Flex**
3H is a Tour Edge Exotics 21 S Flex**
4-GW/SW is Adams RPM Uniflex** I hit them, the shafts are just like Stiffs
60degree Adams Watson wedge
Nike Ignite Model 5 Putter
All of this in a Taylormade Taylite Bag

Any of the ** means I haven't gotten them yet, but I'll have 'em soon.

Toyed around with having my 3I back in my bag. Used it 3 or 4 times today when I needed to hit some low shots under tree branches. The lowest iron I had been carrying was a 6I due to having hybrids for the 4/5 irons. But the 6i even delofted and played back in my stance still gets to high.

Anyway, may pull the 4H out or the 5W out and give the 3I another shot.
