JakeBarnes Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Well, I think I am really content with my bag right now... enough so to post it here for all to see. To be honest, I never owned a lick of JSpec equipment until about 4 months ago. I was really happy with all of my stuff, but wandered over to TSG because I wanted to get conforming wedges that spun like crazy... three months later, everything in my bag changed but the putter. Here is the final product. I hope you enjoy. My Current Setup: Adams Fast 12 LS 8.75* with either: - Matrix HD Black Tie 7M3 (x) - UST VTS Silver Tour SPX (7x) Royal Collection Tour VS 14* and 18* with Diamana Kai'li 80x Tourstage X-Blade 901 3-PW with KBS C-Taper 130 Geotech Tour Issue 2010 50* with KBS C-Taper 130 Yururi Tour 56* (conforming) with KBS C-Taper 130 (2x softstepped) Now to the good stuff, the pics: The Bag: Fairways: Shafts: Irons: Wedges: The GameChanger: Hope you enjoyed my bag! If you have any questions about the setup, any suggestions, or just wanna say hi, please feel free! -Pete Edited August 11, 2012 by JakeBarnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Jake/Pete, what's not to love about your WITB (except the driver perhaps?). I love the RC woods, they look classy, the blades look fantastic and so do the wedges, the Betty is fab and the bag looks great too. A couple of questions........do you think you'll try a JDM driver, and you 'only' have 13 clubs in your bag, so why no love for a lob wedge? Thanks, Ian.

JakeBarnes Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Jake/Pete, what's not to love about your WITB (except the driver perhaps?).

A couple of questions........do you think you'll try a JDM driver, and you 'only' have 13 clubs in your bag, so why no love for a lob wedge? Thanks, Ian. Although it really doesn't seem to match the overall facade and theme of my golf bag, the driver is a beast and I cannot argue with results. I have found it to be very workable, customizable with ease and unbelievably long. Hit a 350 yard drive last weekend. While it sounds like a bullet at impact, it will hold a place in the bag for now. I really don't have any experience at all with JDM drivers. To be honest, I am a bit intimidated by what is out there. Forged blades and wedges are really easy to figure out. Drivers have so much going on (shaft, face, foregiveness, look, etc) that I don't really know where to start. As to a 60*... I really don't need one. I grew up with a 56* in my hand... it was the club I used in the field near my house, so I am pretty confident in almost any shot with it from 100 yds and in. Plus, with the Yururi, the amount I can open that face up to play high flops with nice stopping power is amazing. Such a great wedge. The pictures don't do the RC Tour VS justice. The white grip/blue ion shaft combo is amazing to look at. Honestly, these are the best performing fwys that I have had the opportunity to bag. Played a round yesterday where I used the 14* off the tee almost exclusively (really tight course) and got great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 nice set-up! i'd almost recommend staying away from jdm drivers...once that ocd quest starts it's harder to stop than a freight train!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeBarnes Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 lovely bag indeed.................... speeline ----------- jbeam 435 901--------------------905 (!) fairway woods absolutely delightful set up there.. these are fairwayas ive been contemplating again for a while. and the kaili shafts, ahhhhhhhhhhh perfection! If I had the scratch lying around your 905's would already be on their way to me! The Tour VS are an amazing fairway. I can't miss with this setup. Tend to play my 14* off the tee on the majority of courses as it is unbelievably accurate, gets me about 260-265ish off the tee and most of the courses I play are tight. Perfect club for it. The Kai'li are awesome once I got them dialed in. Felt a little loose at the start, but now the 3w is tipped 1" and the 5w is at 1.5". Only downside to the Tour VS is that it is a really light head. Had to work really hard to get the swingweight up on it for control purposes (dry fit for my 5w came in at C4... I normally play things at D2). Now that it is adjusted, I am completely enamored. If you are even toying with the idea of the Tour VS, I'd say go for it! You won't regret it... even with how much you like to switch things up. As to the JBeam... seems like a popular club around here. I tend to go for deep-faced low spin heads. Would the 435 qualify as that? Always interested to try new things.

supo Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 the 435 is the lowest and the most deep. theres nothing else close. very muted thump. dont worry about length either it wll get u out there and LOW. can easily got higher lofts in this head not a problemo.

JakeBarnes Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Awesome bag. How do you like the Yururi? Absolutely love the Yururi. To be honest, I wasn't as convinced I would love it at the beginning. Really struggled with dialing it in because it spun TOO much sometimes on shorter shots; checking up with little to no roll out (...funny, isnt that what we strive for?!). It took a little bit on the range and around the practice holes at my course to really gain the confidence level that I am at now (and I'm still figuring things out a bit). However, now I know that I can pretty much throw the ball at the stick and watch the ball check up and stop right near where it lands. Really lets me pin hunt from about 80 yards and in. I am really happy with how it performs, especially now that I have played with it enough and seen just how accurate and smooth it is to open up and make flops or other shots. Really lets me be creative and improvise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
