a_fay22 WITB - July 2024 Irons update

[a_fay22]

Been a long time reader/admirer on this site, I figured it was time to join in the fun myself.

 

Driver: Callaway Epic Max LS  Set to 8.25*   Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow SB 6.0

 

 

3 Wood: Titleist 913 F Low Spin  13.5*  (Probably my favorite club in the bag, have no plans to replace any time soon)

 

 

H: Cobra King F7 2-3 , Set at 16.5*

 

 

3i: Cobra King Utility 20.5*

 

 

5i: 2021 Titleist T200   Graphite Shaft, Tensei AV Blue AM2

6I: 2021 Titleist T200   Steel  Project X 5.5

 

 

7i-P: 2021 Titleist T100s   Shafts Project X 5.5

 

 

W: 50*F, 58*M  SM8 Raw 

      54 * Vokey TVD

       All True Temper Dynamic Gold S300

 

 

Putter: Odyssey White Hot Pro V-Line     KBS CT Tour 120

 

 

 

 

 

 

Irons were replaced this year for the first time in quite a while.  Prior to going back to Titleist, I had a set of Taylormade RSI2, with several "customizations".  These were sent off to have the chrome removed for the raw finish, lead tape added to get the swing weight where I needed, and most importantly, Bruins ferrules

Nice bag.  I’m just north of you and love the Bruins ferrules.

Very cool!

Nice kit, the SC grip on the odyssey is great.

Shout out to Spargo Golf in RI for new Ferrule installation and regrip.  They do great work for anyone in the RI area.

Nice bag. I just put a Project X Hzrdus Yellow 75x in my Mavrik Subzero 9* what a great set up its been.

Like that graphite in the 5i to kinda make it play as a 4.5i to fill the gap.  I'm doing the same thing to fit in an extra wedge (but I have just one club between my driver and the 20* club.  I just feel its an easy way to make space in a bag because you're trying to hit a green with those longer clubs, not stuff it like you do with wedges.

Putter update. Brandon Matthew Truxton with a Stability Tour Polar shaft. Loft 3°, Lie 68°, Length 32”

That putter is freakin gorgeous. Solid bag!

[a_fay22]

New Irons update.  A combo of Mizuno Hot Metals, and a Fli-Hi (bent slighty stronger to fill gap)

 

 

 

 

I also changed the style of grip on all my clubs for the first time in probably 15 years with the Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord

Loved the Brandon Matthew putter.  Great bag overall.  Enjoy.

Great bag! What prompted the move to the Miunzos and how are you liking them? I ask because I’m playing the ‘23 T200’s and I’m constantly thinking about switching to the hot metal combo. I previously played JPX 900 forged and liked them. Thanks!

The Titleist combo was great, but as I get older and my swing speed has slowed down/playing less frequently, the hot metals have offered me more forgiveness.  When I bought the T100s/T200 set it was based off data from my last iron fitting, which was still from a time where I was playing almost every day and a scratch, but an updated fitting showed these gave me a little more help.  They have been great so far, even mishits have given me better results.

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear you’re liking them. I’ll have to get on a monitor and compare them to what I’m playing.
