neova Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) See my signature for detailsSummer Bag (warm weather)Minimal offset and smaller heads for workability and feedback. I use this set almost exclusively in summer months except for travel and league play. The PX 6.0 4-Pw were soft stepped once to help with feel as the combination of PX and MB is a bit harsh. The Pxi 6.0 in the 3 iron really launches high and the Tour Issue S400 in the PW really keeps the ball low with good spin. I kinda made my own version of flighted shafts without the silly descending weight like the OEM PX Flighted. I also decided to try the same shafts in PW, GW and LW as an experiment which I'm liking so far. No more changes for this bag!Winter (cool weather) + Travel Bag (Updated February 9, 2016) Added: Honma TW717 455 9.5* Driver | Honma TW717P 3-4, TW717V 5-10 | Honma Tour Stand BagI needed a more versatile setup during inclement weather or when I travel so heads with a touch more offset and more durable (non-black) face was the choice. The hybrid and woods are slightly larger size in volume to those in the summer bag but have a shallower face with shafts that are a tad higher launch. The irons are combo player's Pocket Cavity (3-4) and Cavity Back (5-10) and are all shod with Modus 3 120 straight in which are lighter (114g) than my PX 6.0 (120g) but will be welcomed in colder conditions when I can't effectively load the 6.0 shafts. The wedges have a custom grind (by myself) to give it a bit more heel relief as it was too difficult to play off tight lies in the original grind.

Staxxx Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Very nice !! How are you liking the A-Grind 18*? Thinking that may be interesting to try sometime. Also where did you get that yardage template. I must make one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neova Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I thought long about the a grind hybrid because I didn't hit any iron shaped utility very well in the past. However my wood based hybrids roll too much so it was hard to hold the green on approach. The a grind launches very easy and gave me the stop and drop ball flight i never had before with a hybrid. The yardage template is my own - i did a lot of indoor club testing with HD Golf then exported the raw data into Excel, and made the chart. Took me a couple seasons to really verify the numbers as I had changed swings and equipment so much. I'm done hoing for now which is why I decided to finally do a WITB. ...

Those are ball shredders and I love the angular grinds, just looks unique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbev78 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I don't have problems shredding balls with mine, mine are conforming grooves. I must say they are the best feeling wedges I've bagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sweet bags -- nice! -- esp the top one!! Totally agree about the A-Grind hybrids. Wonderful, workable, long, and stop-able. All the A-Grind clubs are quietly under rated, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily bag the a-grind fw and driver, but my honma / fourteen works so not going to mess with it =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I wouldn't mess with that bag either! <g> But the A-Grind 440 driver, which doesn't seem to get any buzz, is the kind of delicious soft that produces that ideal sounding and feeling t-h-w-a-c-k. I've only hit it a few times, but every time is straight, straight, straight -- and nice and long. Amazing driver for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neova Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 A grind driver and Fw would be a nice backup to have.... but a man can only have so many clubs (that gets gamed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staxxx Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Very nice....I love the A-Grind 21* FW that I am hitting well...but would like to have an 18* something. The Romaro Ray UT seems like a very nice choice. Almost bigger than a UT but smaller than a FW. I really like the shape. How do you like it in comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neova Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 The RomaRo Ray UT launches mid-high with a penetrating flight, even with a low launch shaft like D+ 92x. It's perfect for the wet / cold conditions I'm playing in right now when balls don't carry as far and feels like rocks (5-10*c). Compared to other USD hybrids I've gamed (TM R9/R11s/RBZ2 3W and Adams Super LS) the Ray UT isn't that big at all. I think in summer conditions this UT will carry as far as my 3w, as the titanium cup face is very hot even in cold conditions. I hit a lot of shots into strong head wind and it only carried 5-10 yards shortwe than my normal UT. The 3w, on the other hand, is very long on flushed shots but misses are punishing short. It's a bit demanding at 3w length so I might grip down and play it like 2UT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
