2016 has seen static gear in and out of the big bag. firstly the bags have changed a lot , the onoffs ive had each year for the last 6or 7 seasons ddint really give me wood this year so I didn't grab one. ive gone to a PRGR EGG in black fo staff nad a honam black for travel days.
the drivers havnt changed a lot either, the PRGR eggs are still firmly at pride of place as fist cab off the rank. the EGg7 EGG1 and new egg get taken to every game, for comp its very hard for me not to play the EGG7 with the diamana 83 gram aliislei. just love that combo, one of the nicest feeling combos I have built. the reliability of the flight, the anti left attirbutes, the 44.5 inch length al combine to make sure in comp I don't stray like tiger................................................. like that one??...................... and hit my fair share of shorties. the lastest PRGR egg with the diamana X 60x ( nothing they have released subsequent is " anywhere near the quality of the X" straight out of the diamana reps mouth at the show that one..!!) has been a really good driver 10*.. 45 inch 318 grams with the cadero grip makes for prob my fave driver this season. BUT it stil don't get the nod over the older egg. hows that for if its older don't make it shiiiit thinking.
fairway woods , well the modart wit hcrazy FW is just the ebst feleing thing ive ever hit for a FW, uttely addictive, for a head so sleek it is actually ver y goodfrom a tee. not as good as the PRGR egg spoons , but a much better all rounder . if its blowing a gale the EGG gets the bag spot without even a moments thought. tho, that's with the diamana thump 65. one HELL of a fw shaft if ur a bit on the sturdier side..!!!
utility . never thought id say this but the prgr egg ute wit hstock shaft, stil nto sur e that's the best match but its really high , really good soft landing and goes a mile, , I thinki ll replace t he shaft with a crazy ute tho, its too good to ignore. and the modart ut 19* with crazy ute has been the clkub of the year for me. ivenot taken it out of the bag since I wrestled it away form chris (still owe u money for that bro) . that has single handedly made me rethink my ntire bag set up, my bag......... how much change is this.... revolves around THAT club now, its taken the need for a 4 and 5 wood compleltey out of my mind nad its even put the 3 wood to rest on most games bec its just got such reliable results, it leaves me a short wedge to the pin on the par 5s and I never miss the bloody thing, I cant play without it now.
in th club champs next weekend ive gone for 2 utes mentioned above , ill; have to get the new ute shaft in before that tho , the current one is just a bitt whippy.
the honma driving irons are still the go to option when the wind is up tho , I think I prefer the shape of them to utes and they give em more options for moving the ball. the stock vizard 85 s is so versatile, its a tos up between this nad the modart ute for my fave club most weekd , but the feel of the modart is just too much to ignore , the NS1 modus 20 18* is irreplaceable in wind on the islands its a god send.
irons. boy that's changed a bit , ive essentially aced all non MBs from my house save for the PRGR tr500s . idbls, nabla tour, everything else is MB.
the honma tw 717m + 727m have been my week in out irons for 2 seasons, not likely to change one bit ,as much as I liked the fele of the latest PRGR, I think they went a soft option by making them like they did. so its small comapact thin for the interim for me. The masdas get played on comp day with the lighter smoother NSprotos stx ( modus 105) . fantastic match for these heads, several of both of these headswith varying shafts for different conds have me in good stead. both ball striking with driver and irons has been pretty consistant hti year. and wedge play has improved . that brings me t othe latest wedge fiasco. its the PRGR tr 02s from 2009 that have been my go to best ofs of late. redicluous feel multiple forged denseness and the compression they give is my favourite thing . the surprise is he honma 2016 wedges, they are big round flat but they have bite like a vampoire. cud pass up on all else except for maybe t he old faves the fourteen protos, had a session on the weekend with those again last weekend . can get funkier than a 70s disco dancer with hoese things in the bag, they wont ever go away.
