Title: I walk into Puetz Golf, and a familiar voice says: Post by: MFAWG on December 18, 2011, 06:45:54 PM esEcwAWi6dk&feature=related
Then I went to the used club section, and I heard a song in my head! 9xuKwCXFe0g&feature=related Lo and behold, there's a set of original Raptures, black dot, steel shafts for 239.99. I mean, what are you going to do? They're a 'Stiff' shaft, but few minutes in the launch monitor thingy with them calmed my fears about that: I'm 5 or 10 yards longer on a 5 or 6 iron than I am with my aging TM's. A live range session confirms that they're either very, very close or a little longer through the bag, and I busted a couple of 3 irons a legit 195 with range balls. I can't even hit my TM 3 irons. So, merry Christmas to me, Ho's! Title: Re: I walk into Puetz Golf, and a familiar voice says: Post by: dystopia on December 18, 2011, 07:49:21 PM [sm_thumbsup2] Merry Christmas indeed!
I learned to play on an old set of Pings when I was a kid. Even recently when I demoed a new Ping iron, the look and feel made it seem like hitting an old friend. Given an unlimited budget, I'd probably be playing ping irons. Title: Re: I walk into Puetz Golf, and a familiar voice says: Post by: gleek on December 18, 2011, 07:58:15 PM K-28s FTW!
Title: Re: I walk into Puetz Golf, and a familiar voice says: Post by: MFAWG on December 18, 2011, 08:38:37 PM I'll see how they play Friday. I almost walked when I saw they were a stiff, but the clubfitter guy said if I was buying new he'd offer me stiff but wouldn't talk me out of regular. I'm right on the line at 80 mph on a 5 iron. I suspect the Rifles in the Taylor's were making life harder than it really needed to be as well.
The other nice thing is I can now set up a completely playable B bag with the TM's, that Cally 3wood and other assorted odds and ends, which is nice. My wedges look kind of funny now, but they're pretty set.
