ordered some new Titleist sticks

lambtron · 02-09-2010, 10:40 PM

I cannot contain my excitement! I'm pumped about my CB 710s that should be here in a few days

Any other golfers here?

GreenPlease · 02-09-2010, 10:53 PM

Here! Here!

I'm a Nike guy myself but that's just because one of my buddies is on staff and I get the stuff for free

Titleist makes good stuff. Back in the day, when I was a promising Jr. Golfer, I had an equipment deal with Titleist (illegal as far as the USGA and NCAA were concerned but there was no way of them finding out). They had me out to their factory in Carlsbad three times. Cool stuff.

Just plan on checking lofts, lies, and grips once you get the clubs. For whatever reason, they NEVER come right from the factory, even when you're on their "staff."

Nice, you playin the VR split or the VR TW?...or somethin older?

I didn't custom order em, I'm just gonna bring them to the local shop here and have em bent to my specs. Mine just take so long to come in because I'm a lefty. I was torn between the ZB forged (I've played them before) and the new CBs, but I like the classic look of the CBs. The play shouldn't differ too much from the ZB forged, however.

Never been good enough for an equipment deal, I'm back up to a 13.1 on the books, I want to be back into the single digits before my bday in april, so I've got a lot of work to do!

Callaway woods/irons, Cleveland wedges, Odyssey putter here. Love them all and couldnt be happier. A guy in my office Jason Shipley writes and tests clubs for Golf Digest on the side. They fly his ass all over the place on weekends lucky bastard.

KingOfJericho · 02-10-2010, 07:50 AM

Just bought a new set of Taylormade R7 irons and Odyssey putter. Can't wait for spring!

Rat Fink · 02-10-2010, 09:29 AM

Nice! I'm still happy with my 'ol DCI's

pittsy · 02-10-2010, 09:37 AM

Can't go wrong with the 710's they are very solid!

MontegoGoGoGo · 02-10-2010, 10:55 AM

I sell used golf balls. Word.

Spec 1 · 02-10-2010, 12:01 PM

Golfer here. Congrats on the new clubs! Besides a new driver I purchased and a Callaway sandwedge I won in a tournament, I've been using the same clubs for 6+ years now. Would love to grab a new set but it's way back on the priority scale, and being winter time in the Northwest I've been dropping thousands on snowboarding :/

Just got a couple passes to a course down the road from my boss, need to have a nice day I can go out! Getting antsy since I haven't been since November.

slalomfever · 02-10-2010, 12:12 PM

picked up a set of custome fitted Mizuno MP-58's. Winter sucks here in the North East. I cant wait to play golf.

MJC///M3 · 02-10-2010, 12:38 PM

addicted to golf.

Nike SQ Driver/strong 3 wood
Adams 5 wood

Nike TW Victory Red Blades
titleist vokey wedges.
odyssey white hot putter...

VR blades are great....i used to play MP-32s.....the 32's went further ..but I can work the ball much easier with the VR's.

GreenPlease · 02-10-2010, 01:56 PM

Nike's lofts are the weakest in the industry (at least among the mainstream manufacturers). Ping and Callaway are the strongest. Mizunos are soft and their lofts tend to get stronger as time goes on provided you don't correct them from time to time.

GOLFFRR · 02-10-2010, 05:17 PM

i have always and will only play titleist clubs. congrats bro those are some sick looking clubs.

'Cane · 02-10-2010, 09:38 PM

'Nother lefty here.

But I haven't played in almost a year and a half. Screwed up my neck in a car accident 11/09/08. I am having surgery in April, last ditch effort to fix the issue.

I only play PING though. If the surgery is a success, I will buy a new set.
