really like the fairway wood. not so crazy about those ferrules though

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Hey Will I saw your testing the tour issue BTY fairway wood, what are your thoughts on it? I just snagged a 14.5* tour issue head and I am currently waiting for my shaft to come in to give it a run. The head is perfect looking to me I just hope it performs as good as it looks. Its my first dive into tour issue gear lets just hope its not the start of something seriously bad on the bank account.

I actually have yet to hit this one. I will be playing a couple times early next week though. The Tour heads are much truer to loft than the retail ones, and the titanium face is hidden on the Tour one. They are super hot faced, like Exotics hot. I've hit a 14.5° Tour before, and it was awesome. I'm hoping the 12.5° will be just as good, but 15 yards longer LOL. Can't wait to hear how it works for you. Adams makes top notch gear for sure.


EDIT: This thing is a bit out of date. I'll snap some pictures in the next few days and get it all squared away again.

Nice shaft choice on that fairway wood, I want to throw one in a 9032 and see how it works.

You should just start a new WITB & name it 2009 part 2. You could dedicate quite a bit to your growing putter collection

[elchene]

Did you order the grips straight from the website or from a US distributor?

I want to hit that head with a real shaft in it. I bet it is awesome.

I might just add putters to this one. Definitely something to think about.

Straight from the website. I have a second shipment on the way that will be going up on the BST in all likelihood.

Thanks!

Limes FTW.

Pure where did you get your Thump and how do you like it? Seriously considering one.

[Pure745]

Just got lucky and found one unlisted from an ebay seller.. and not to make matters worse but i LOVE it.. hit's lasers w/ really low spin and I have it in an 09 Rescue all the way open.. this club combo will not go left only unless you pull it. I thought my Altus tipped was amazing but this is better (could also be due to the head it's in as well) Altus and the Thump would be the only hybrid shaft out that I'd use.

Those irons???
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMommmmYYYY :clapping:

[One_Putt_Blunder]

I gave the bty its first trial run this weekend. Really impressed by it super hot good ball flight. Way better sounding and feeling than the pos Cobra which I sold to my buddy on the range to give you an idea of how much I like the adams. Really glad I bumped up to the nv 85 from the 65 plus the pink looks sick. Highlight of the round was i had 281 left on a par 5 so I figured I would give it a run and see if it would handle it. Ended up leaving it 5 yards short in the fairway but it was just a straight laser all day. Did make the bird btw. Hope yours is working out as good.

Glad you like it! I'm thinking about reshafting mine with something lighter and playing it at like 44" to see if I can hit it farther. Driver is going all over the place.

diggin the blue ferrules

[mattsam]

Have you hit the Classic vrs a 5050 or the 9033HF against a 4555?

Sadly those are the two clubs that I have always wanted to hit, but never have. The Classic is awesome though. Really hot ball flight, and feels great. The 9033HF is now in Japan.

Thanks Keith! As soon as my custom D.A.S.S. is done I'll send the Cameron your way.

[varsityhacker]

Will how are you liking the SM Four 5 bag? I am thinking of getting a SM H2N0 bag.

It sucks in a golf cart, but it is great for walking. I really like the individual slots though. I am back to it because I sold my Titleist staff bag. I am waiting to pick up either a new Scratch staff bag, or a Bettinardi staff bag.

[varsityhacker]

Yeah most stand bags suck in a cart and I have read that the feet on the SM make them really suck in a cart. Might have to check that bag out because of the individual dividers.

[w8liftr]

I saw where you picked up that Scotty from the BST. Very nice.

Hopefully Ari will have some news on the Scratch bags soon, I would like one as well. You know you'll get a Scratch & Bettinardi.

[k.kim913]

hows the putter feel???

Not exactly like that. I'm looking for one of the newer, brighter ones. That one is pretty nice though.

Updated again LOL.

[macglock]

You have a problem sir.
