  1. Found some used LED 52 and 57 to go with the irons. Woohoo! The PRGR bag will now look like this: 2016 RS-F 10.5 / Loop GK TR500 3-PW / SP Red L.E.D 52, 57 / SP Red Gold's Factory T102 Removing the fairway wood and going with a 3 iron. I'll need to set up the 3 iron with a shaft that'll help with the launch. πŸ™‚ Haven't put a 3 iron in my bag in a really long time!! Should be interesting!
  2. If you are talented enough, I guess you could adjust your stroke to match the putter? πŸ™‚ Most of my putters I own now have a toe hang of 42 to 45 deg which is similar to the spec I was fit for at Benock Tokyo. These blades are beautiful to look at and work reasonably well... but because of their compact size, they are not the most forgiving. If I played more regularly, I think these putters would be fine, but when you only get out once a week, different story. While I do not own them any longer, I do think that I putted better when I used the Evnroll ER-2 (mid mallet) and Scotty Phantom X 5.5 (neo-mallet) the last couple of seasons. Besides the stability, the larger heads seemed to provide larger sweet spots which is probably what most amateurs (like me) benefit from more so than a just putter design that matches your stroke tendency. This year, I am eyeing on the new Odyssey TriHot 5K to see if they actually bring mallet like stability and forgiveness in a blade putter. Oh and I recently picked up an old Yonex Ezone EZM-001 which is a heel shafted "L" shaped mallet ( Scotty Del Mar type ) which should be completely unfit for my stroke, but I still like to take it out for a spin from time to time.
  3. I would recommend these to someone who struggles with slices. You can still work the ball but the natural tendency is a draw with these heads. I also still have the original 950GH HT shafts in R flex with the stock grips if anyone is interested.
  4. Making some changes to my bag (again πŸ™‚) 1. 2018 PRGR RS Forged 5-PW / SS III shafts Stiff Could pass for new. All Stock. I only took it out for one range session. For multi material irons, very nice feel at impact. Super forgiving and good distance. Not much offset and compact head. γ€€$600 + actual shipping Paypal net. 2. Tourstage 2012 GR Forged 3-PW + P/S + S (10 heads) head only 9/10 with some tiny spot rusts on face from normal usage. Only minor dings found. Very good condition overall. Love the sole grind on these heads. Mid-size and shape of the face reminds me of Ping Eye2 irons but with less offset. Very forgiving but made with one piece forged carbon steel. Loft and lie are standard. $250 + actual shipping Paypal net.
  5. I've been on the Sun Mountain bandwagon pretty much exclusively. I lived in Montana so it was sort of a local company for me. I still think they make the best waterproof bags. Obviously nothing to brag about but for me waterproof bags are essential for playing in the winter months. Been tinkering on the thought of getting a PRGR bag since I have a set to go with it but haven't found a design that I like yet.
  6. Those are very nicely taken care of. Other used SUS316 on the market look like crap :) Problem for me with nice flawless irons like that is that its too nice to put in play. I'm too worried about putting scratches and nicks. 😞 So these days I am using more moderately beat up stuff. GLWS!!
  7. Actually my 2nd bag.... I intend rotate the sets regularly. My Primary has a bit more focus on forgiveness. DR: Ping G425 Max / Diamana D-Limited 3W: Epic Max 15 deg / Diamana D-Limited 3U, 4U Mavrik Pro / Diamond Speeder HB, UST Lin-Q HB 5-PW: '12 Tourstage GR Forged / Project X LZ 5.0 AW/SW: '12 Tourstage GR Forged / Project X LZ 5.0 PT: Benock Blue Dragon II
  8. Yes the LED definitely have my interest. Getting harder to find, though.
  9. Update on my "mostly" PRGR bag.... RS5 fairway replaced with Epic Speed 4w. Unfortunate but I enjoy hitting the Cally more. TR500 irons are very smooth and soft at impact. May have to do a head to head against the GR Forged. TR500 I feel has a smaller sweet spot compared to the Tourstage GR Forged. I lose more distance with the TR when I miss the center compared to the GR. I need to go hunt down some PRGR Wedges. DR: PRGR RSF Proto πŸ€/ Loop GK 4W: Callaway Epic Speed / Loop FW6TS 4-PW: PRGR TR500 / NS Super Peening Red AW/SW: Cleveland RTX4 Forged / NS Super Peening Red PT: Gold's Factory T102 Prototype
  10. My TR500 just got SP Reds. They feel really good. The SP Reds give a sharper feel through impact compared to a Modus 120. I got Regular flex and they actually work well for me. I don't feel the need for a Stiff.
  11. yea... I can agree to those graphs and where the Modus 120S is positioned. 120 is an outlier when it comes to CPM. They are so soft compared to others.
  12. Thanks for posting your test data!! Glad to see that you were able to find what works for you. I am surprised that 115X and 120X were similar for you. My understanding was that 115 were a lot more stout than the 120 series. Modus 120X CPM is supposed to be really close to the Modus 105S My experience with the Modus 120 S is that it is comparable to other R shafts ( from a flex perspective that is ) Anyway... my desire to try the 115 has diminished for the time being as I am switching to Regular shafts in my irons and to my understanding, Modus 115 do not come in Regular flex. Project X LZ 5.5 were my gamers but I just reshafted my '12 Tourstage GR Forged to 5.0 shafts and they are further soft stepped x 1 . For my PRGR TR500 I just installed a set of SP Red in R1 flex also soft stepped x 1 . Previously I'd thought that these regular flex shafts will do me more harm than good ... but this time around, I feel that they are going to allow me to swing easier with my irons thus improving my accuracy. I test them out today after 3 weeks of near by ranges being closed due to snow!! Fingers crossed!! πŸ™‚
  13. Happy New Year All! Last year I diligently kept track of all my round stats. So now I can set goals for improving them in the coming season! My golf stats goal for 2022!! 2 putts or better: 92% -> >95% GIR: 56% -> >60% Driving Accuracy: 68% -> >70% Score Average: 77.5 -> <75 From a play perspective, I need to spend more time practicing around the green shots. Green side bunker shots need to get a lot closer to within 1 putt zones. As for equipment, I need to try and stick to a single set for my actual rounds. Obviously I'll still play around with other sets occasionally for fun. What are all your golf goals this year? πŸ™‚
  14. happy to help. and welcome to the forum!! πŸ™‚
  15. https://www.prgr-golf.com/archive_clubs/I-2-super-egg-iron-iron.html The 2014 (yours) look to be conforming. The 2015 "New Super Egg" irons are not . https://www.prgr-golf.com/archive_clubs/I-111-2015-super-egg-iron.html
  16. Hi nice sets of irons!! Per BST posting rules, please include in the photo a piece of paper with your name and date so that all of us can see that you actually have these irons under your possession. Thanks!!
  17. Lowered to rock bottom prices! RSF Prototype 10.5 Single Clover head available as well in anyone is interested.
  18. Oh yea.. forgot about those. The NanoV Nextage Forged were my entrance into JDM clubs. Had ridiculously heavy DG TI S400 shafts in them but they were marshmallow soft when hitting the sweet spot. I might give those a go again!!
  19. I don't think the heads have been bent. It's just the offset is so much less than what I have been playing lately. Slight adjustment was needed in my swing. With the GR forged I've been trying hard to not hit it left .... that same swing with the TR translates to hitting it to the right. When I go back to a more natural swing, the TR500 draws just right for me. So I am now rethinking about whether offset in irons helps me out or not. Project X shafts work well for me based on a fitting I did 2 years ago. With other shafts, I was not getting enough back spin. LZ gave me good back spin which helped me hit more straighter shots. On the other hand, I have a set of Monaco S sitting idle and I know how those work in TR500 since I've tried Cuistot's set a while ago which I believe came from you Supo. Exquisite feeling combo that thing was!!
  20. I've got two PRGR drivers that I can use with this set. '16 Tour Issue RS and a RSF Proto Single Clover I've shafted the '16 with a Tour AD PT High Mod 6S and the RSF Single Clover with a Loop GK. 5 Wood is RS5 with a Loop FW6TS ... TR500 irons 4-PW Wedges 50 & 56 Cleveland RTX4 Forged (JDM) Gold's Factory T102 Irons are shafted with Project X LZ 5.5 now but I don't think these are the shafts. Will be tinkering further. πŸ™‚
