  1. That Kai'li came with the xdrive 701R limited if I remember and indeed the real deal. "x5ct" is MRC's designation for the aftermarket spec shafts.
  2. Well it was not my best round. Missed so many short putts..( 3 and 4 footers!! ) it was really rediculous. Still managed to shoot 80 at a course I was not familiar with; so I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed. Shots and drives were not bad at all thanks to your tip and G30 driver. Looking to focus in practicing short putts for my next tournament. I feel I wasted 6 to 8 shots per round this weekend due to sloppy putting. Placed fourth in my flight which got me back my entry fee. :)
  3. Open for reasonable offers! Please note " REASONABLE " Happy to do heads only or shafts only. Thanks!
  4. Thanks Craig! I am really hoping I can! Such a small town here they put top three finishers of each flight in the local newspaper! :)
  5. Thanks! Yup... have switched clubs often in the past so I definitely know the honeymoon effect! :) Noted on the cross training. I should get back riding my road bike. Have a Titanium frame road bike sitting in the garage for a good 3 years now.
  6. Prices slashed to unbelievable prices!! NOTE: I am out of town from Sun Aug 3 to Wednesday Aug 6 so shipping may delay a bit.
  7. So 1st day at the Bozeman City Championship... Bridger Creek / par 71 . Scored a 76!! which is my all time best at this course. Front 9 : 2 Birdies / 4 Bogies nothing too terrible. Back 9: 2 Birdies / 1 Double / 1 Triple ... Double and Triple both came from par 3 Both results from a toe shot with my irons. ( 9 and PW !!! Gawd!! ) Also missed four 4 footers. Need to work on putting.. Mikey, I had snacks in my mouth pretty much the whole time. I think it really helped!! Had two water bottles and constantly drinking between shots. In addition, I did have a G30 Driver and 3 Wood which helped me a lot. I did not have any real mis-hits with the driver today. The thing is soooo automatic and straight it is unbelievable. I am going to see if the PRGR Egg woods can match the challenge! In any case, If I can keep up this score into tomorrow, I might have a chance to win my flight and possiblly fund my next set of GI irons. :) Need to go get some more trail mix for tomorrow!
  8. Thanks everyone for sharing your views and suggestions! I do realize that scoring well requires everything in your game and surrounding factors to come together. Equipment, player's physical and mental condition, course condition, weather etc... For now I want to see if GI clubs will actually show notable improvement on the scorecard.
  9. I was hoping for that too when I started the season with my Mizzy MP4.
  10. I also recently watched a very long advertisement on how to score better by feeding your brain with nutrition! It was pretty convincing. I will have to try this method. I have a local tournament this weekend so I am packing up with some trail mix or something to munch on during the rounds. Thanks for the tip!
  11. Amazing job!! That is absolute perfection.
  12. Thanks Chris, I am okay with whatever size head... Just trying to simplify my game and remove the frustration out of my rounds from reducing the occasional mis-hits with irons mainly on my approach shot. most of the time, I hit them fine and get on the green or on the fringe but occasionally ( 2 or 3 times a round ) thin or thick shot. I need to get rid of these to reduce a few shots. These RB247G sure do look nice! Do you think they are comparable to Ping G series in terms of forgiveness? Feel at impact would be pretty important for me as well.
  13. Just a bio break really. No lunch no snack. no beer on the course either.....
  14. Ego has definitely impacted my club selection in the recent years. It's time to let it go and put more focus on the game itself. I really want to go low!!
  15. Thanks! Yup, one concern that I have is that I may have less control with GI irons, but right now, I think I care more about making the game as easy as possible and not worry about "maybe the blades are not right for me.... "
  16. Thanks Chris, I have an Egg 1 driver , Egg Spoon and Egg i+ on the way. :) I think PRGR is equivalent of Ping in the US in that they are not afraid to release non-traditional innovations that provide additional forgiveness to us players. I like razor thin top line, minimal offset, small or mid size but more forgiving than Ping!! If someone can come up with this design. I'll be all over it! Oh, and it's gotta have buttery soft feel at impact! :)
  17. So the last several seasons, my score has been hovering around 80... give or take. I practice quite a bit and I have days where I occasionally shoot 1 or 2 over par on the first 9 holes. but then all hell break loose on the back 9. Not sure what that is..... but anyway, lately, I have been seriously thinking about completely switching my direction with my clubs from using forged players irons (Mizuno MP4 currently) to a much more forgiving Ping G30 irons. I tried the G30 irons yesterday for the first time at a golf shop and honestly they felt great. Yes, they are strong lofted by a bunch and they look very chunky with thick top line. So appearance wise, they are completely on the opposite side of the spectrum compared to my MP4. I was thinking I would get similar distances with similarly lofted clubs ( Mizuno 3 iron is same loft as Ping G30 4 iron both at 21 degrees ) but I was wrong. I usually hit my Mizuno 3i around 215 yds but I was hitting the G30 4i close to 230 yds. Crap!! I believe the forgiveness of the G30 is helping me with the slight mis-hits and giving me more over all distance. Easier to hit and longer ... Sounds like a good combination leading to a good score. So I am going to give the G30 a try and see if it can truly help me with my score. We'll see. If anyone has experience making a pretty significant switch like this, would love to hear your thoughts around it.
  18. Several items have been reduced!! Come and get them!
  19. Yoros Wedges are awesome feeling. Would go against any soft forged wedge out there or better. Yonex Ute is 16* ( Zero Iron ) Would make a great windy day driving iron off the tee. Thump in Stiff is harder to find these days as well.
  20. Thanks guys for your kind words!!
  21. Modus Wedge shafts pending
