Pretty!

Ok, I’ve seen some ugly putters in my day. And some lovely ones. The Axis1 ends up in categoey number one. But, the idea is more than interesting. Seeing Justin Rose bag one next to all the beautiful Honma clubs adds to the interesting theme more than a little. 400 bucks for a putter is nothing for us JDM fanatics, that is more the cost of a good putter shaft. Who has tried the this? What are your thoughts? I might get one just because. Not sure I could ever bag one - my Gold’s is so beautiful. But making more putts may justify it..

To all TSG’ers. Happy the forum is somewhat revived. Next year we’ll step it up a little more.

Pretty! Is one of them a little shorted face-to-back? It looks like it and it looks good! That is how I like my drivers. Conventional shape - deep face - easily manoeuvrable.

That’s pretty cool!

I like people that try nwe things like this - it is the only way to innovate. For me, and the type of golfer I am, I don’t think it will work though. I always have a hard time with shafts that have an overly active tip. I hit draws as my standard ball, and that will likely work well with this shaft. I also want to hit cuts from time to time and to hit high balls in some conditions and low balls in other. I want to do that without changing clubs/shafts and that is quite easy with tip-stiff shafts. I imagine that it will be very tough to hit a low cut at will with this shaft but will love to hear the review (if there will be one).

He's the mac daddy!

Have you seen miuragolf.com?

Thank you ?

Wow!

I'd like to buy Seven ST wedges. Let me know what you have and what you are asking. Thanks!

Had one for a long time. The softest feel ever. Awesome putter!

Stunning! I may go robb a bank. I’ll let you know if I succeed ?

You wrote my comment Ian.

In Sweden it is free if you have the right package of channels. I’ll watch it. Wish I was the one playing Shadow Creek though.

So now there are two products that I need to hire someone to snag for me. The other one is Tanihara’s Honma driving iron.

Nobs, For what it is worth, here are my thoughts. I was a scratch player for 15 years or so playing collegiate and mini-tours. There were three reasons why I never got any better: 1) I had a lot of heart and used in a bad way - I could not channel my emotions; 2) I didn’t like to practice (still made every trip for 4 years in college); 3) I had a terrible short game... So again, for what it is worth.. Funny enough though, my short game is better now (relatively) when I play 5-15 rounds a year but my ball striking is so much worse. Anyways. I use pretty much the same set-up that you do: 50/55/60. With close to full shots I hit them 115/105/90. As for when to use what wedge in a sub-full shot range it comes down to so many things such as pin placement, how firm/fast the greens are, lie etc. As a general rule when chipping and pitching - the ball is easier to control on the surface than in the air. Thus, if the greens are not super ondulated, roll the ball for as long as possible. The 50 will be great for most chip shots. The 54 would be perfect for pitching and for chipping when you need the ball to check a bit on the second bounce. The 58 from bunkers, rough, flops and when you really need stopping power. That is how I see it.

Great review! Can you share some pics on the Astro Stu?

What is Ti51AF cup face? Never heard of that - something new/proprietary Srixon?

The chance of that is slim.

Looks good mate! Not only the sweet spot hit revealed on the face of the driver?

Great! It was more of a general comment to soft/firm/buttery etc. I think there are very different SS. The one I have is clicky/harsh compared to all the carbons I have.

I have a limited edition Tad Moore in SS. That particular putter sounds and feels harsh and I could only use it with really soft balls. That, btw, is something we rarely talk about - the interaction between ball and head material. There is off course a huge difference in feel between different ball materials/compression/layers etc. Take the oldish Taylor Made Penta for instance - any putter would feel soft with it. Compare with the ball I play - the Titleist Pro V1x and I need a softer putter to appreciate the feel. Then the grip is also quite important. A bil ol’ Super Stroke vs a Pingman rubber grip and the difference is huge.

The Geo you are referring to, was that the silver with green you had? Newport 2 style? Looked awesome!

I’m on Tinder though ? (Not a hint to my fellow TSG’ers, just sayin’ I’m not completely off the grid)
