    I got fit into the C Taper Lite a few years back and absolutely hated it, felt like swinging rebar. Can’t imagine how much worse the C Taper would feel, those things are stout. I’ve got the KBS Tours now and like them a lot, have heard great things about the $ Taper too

    Haha. Yeah, that’s pretty much how I felt too, but I could at least tolerate that aspect. What got me was the complete inability to identify where I was hitting the ball on the face due to dampened impact. After a particularly shitty session, I sprayed some foot powder on the face. Center and high toe were virtually indistinguishable. Fuck that

    I actually got fit for my wedges at club champion and ended up spending way more than I had planned. Talking with the fitter we thought with what I like to do the v wedge was the perfect compliment and then we have all of the wedges in the gap wedge length, which I’ve actually ended up loving. Or the fitter just thought hmm let’s just up charge this guy, fuck him.

    That’s interesting. I had recently purchased the Callaway MD5 54/58 because they gapped better with the P790s. DG Tour Issue 115s. Incorrect gaps for the T200s, so now I’ve got a 52/56/60 en route to replace my grooveless Clevelands. The Tour Issue felt fine and were way better than wedge flex, but I’d be curious see the difference between them and KBS

    You sound like quite the little club whore, do you just keep collecting stuff once you move on or re-sell?

    Haha. Yeah. Collection currently. I need to sell a lot of stuff, and I’m not looking forward to the process. I will say it’s been nice having multiple extra sets on hand when people visit though. It’d be nice if one would work out.

    Think I narrowly avoided getting into hoarder territory a couple nights ago. I found the set I played in high school on eBay and had them in the shopping cart. Cleveland TA3 gunmetals. Friend thankfully talked me out of the purchase. Would have been $400 down the shitter

    I was there a few years ago. I wanted a set of Ap1’s and then found a decent set of mp67’s and then just started collecting random things. I’ve sold everything off except my first set of irons in ms/hs and half of my putters. Also the 72* wedge that no one wants.

    That he accidentally knicked another range ball that was too close to the one he piped?

    there's only one ball there. his face is awesome after. Shane Bacon on NBC made the joke that it probably means he goes out and plays a great round.

    Pretty rough watching Tiger gut it out these last two days. I suppose as long as he didn't do any physical damage, the competitive rounds will serve him well going forward in this comeback journey.

    Anyone here have a ball speed with driver around 165-170 in love with a particular shaft? Noticed a crack in my stock TM HZRDUS Smoke 70g stiff low spin low launch today. I didn’t hate it but wouldn’t mind throwing something similar but X and aftermarket in

    won $550 off scottie winning the masters so i think im gonna get a stealth 3 wood. Last club I need in the bag, never really used one before but I need something when driver is too long off the tee

    anyone tried the stealth vs stealth plus? I think I’d like the bigger head of the stealth off the tee, plus it’s $100 cheaper

    I'd go somewhere and hit the stealth vs the older Sims. Haven't hit them but we have them in the pro shop where I work and pretty sure the wood doesn't have the carbon fiber face like the driver.

    Yes, any local dumpster would do great since you’re going to a trash hole full of trash people

    Edit

    If you’d like to sleep with a local politician I can help arrange that for you but you’ll probably catch something
