Hi, Is this putter face balanced?

The bounce angle of the Z56 is 12 degrees the 60 I'm not sure for the Z60but I own the Z56 & Z60. They IMHO are awesome wedges. I was using TM fe203 tours (56 & 60) but the TS knocked them right out the bag. The TS wedges feel heavier and I seem to be able to control them more (distance wise). Now it could be that since I own the Z101 irons it's all mental but I like them.

I was hitting'em fat also with some shanks. The one thing I have done which has helped me is to put the ball back in my stance (be slightly narrow) stay square to the ball and flex my knees to the left (for a right hand golfer) this will help you hit down on the ball. I have also found that this has me hitting my wedges longer. I hope this helps...... Let us know.

That sure is pretty!!!

Well, I received my Tourstage bag and it's awesome, beautiful. I love a lot of pockets and this bag has plenty. It even came with 3 and 5 wood matching headcovers. Now if I could just sell my TM Staff bag.........

Woo-Woo! I finally got my Tourstage staff bag (well I won an auction on ebay and am waiting for it to be shipped). For those that have had their bag for awhile, how is it holding up?

I tried a few putts at Golf Galaxy and didn't like the look. I was standing over it and said to myself That's a guy riding a Motorcycle, Yuck! All kidding aside you have to try it for yourself.

I use both. Stand bag for walking the muni's and a Staff bag for riding.

I switched from the Ping I3 blades and also found the Z's about a 1/2 club shorter but using impact tape it showed i'm hittting towards the toe about 1/4 inch off the sweetspot. These Z's do go where you want them to go so the lost of distance doesn't bother me that much. I will add that I'm working on a swing change (a minor one, wideing my stance) and that has me getting closer to the sweet spot, for instance my old Ping 7 was 150 yds. and the Z 7 iron was 145. When I hit the Z 7 iron on the sweet spot it flys 160. It seems to me these Z's will be about 10+ yards longer once I get ion the grove with them. So hang in there once you get use to them you won't want to hit anything else. Oh, Have you noticed how the Z PW & SW really spin the ball? They knocked the TM fe203 and Hogan special wedges out of the bag.

Those look sweet, makes me wish I could play blades!

I found Golf Monster via the web was that the same store as in Vegas? ANyway I got the number to the store in Vegas and will call them tomorrow.

Mike, Thanks for the info , I called Golf Monster around 9:00 PM CST and they said they did not have any. Could they have been sold that fast? So, I missed the TS bag again. I guess it's not meant for me to own that bag. :cry:

Nice Bag, That's the one I planned on buying before Tourstage pulled their stuff from the US. :(

pm sent for black putter cover!

Here is a update on my Z's. I have played with them a few times this winter and they play fine, straight hitters and I can work the ball pretty easily left or right. I am just not hitting them consistantly in the sweet spot. The majority of my shots are about a 1/4 inch off center (toward the toe). I went to have them fit (feeling they were a bit to short for me) lie angle was perfect, length was ok but I could go longer. So I had the shafts lengthed +1 yesterday and just swinging the clubs feels more comfortable (I prefer a more upright stance). I did the impact tape test again and still I hit the ball at the same spot 1/4 inch off center. Now mind you the off center hits still fly straight but I'm penalized with distance (That I can live with) but when I hit it flush right on the screws I'm 15 to 20 yards longer. For instance with the Pings i3's my seven iron would go 150, the Z's 150 (off center) 170 (on the screws). So I guess I'm have to get use to the Z's to hit them consistantly on center but I'm finally set with my irons. Thanks to all....... Oh, before i forget when I had my irons lengthened (at Golfsmith) all the sales guys came over when I was about to test the Z's out. They wanted to meet the guy who owned these irons and ask who makes them how and much they cost. It's amazing to me that most of these guys don't know much about golf equipment. Thanks to sites like this I'm more informed.

I checked out these stores, man that Tourstage stuff is expensive but a Ho's gotta do what a Ho's gotta do. Time to sell some stuff to get some stuff. Thanks again.

Thanks, I will contact TourSpecGolfer.....

Hello All, I missed the oppurtunity tp purchase a TourStage staff bag before they pulled them from the US Market. Does anyone know where I can purchase a TS Staff bag? I need a few TS gloves also. Thanks

Ok, I'll leave leave them just like they are and wait until I can goto to the range. Thanks

Ok lot's of good discussion here and I have just one more question. I'm thinking of having the lofts adjusted (On my newly ordered Z101's) 1* stronger. The reason is I hit my Ping i3's (JZ stiff shafts) pretty high and hear that the Z's produce a high ball flight. I'm having rifle 6.0 shafts installed (Will they play stiffer?), will the rifles help keep the ball flight lower or should I have the lofts adjusted? Any suggestions? Your experiences? Man I love this fourm! Thanks

Joey, Thats a good looking club, very clean lines, What model is it?

Well, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I have ordered my Z101's w/Rifle 6.0 shafts (they should arrive in about a week). I hope there will be more days like today so I can goto the Driving range and hit these puppies. So now I need to replace my Hogan wedges I will be looking at Scratch or Zodia. Any other suggestions?

Ok today I went an hit the Mizunio PM-30's. Sweet club, I hit other clubs, Tltleist 690.cb.'s and the Hogan Apex (The Mizuino's felt better). Now I know I said that the Z101's were for me but I haven't hit them and there is no dealer in the Chicagoland area (that I can find) that have them. So before I plunk down almost 700.00 for a new set with rifle 6.0 shafts can anyone compare the Z101's to the Mizunio MP-30's. I don't want to seem wishy-washy but I want to make the right decision. When I hit the Mizunio's I was at Golf Galaxy hitting into the simulator, since I go there often I know how the sim equates to my swing and distance. For instance I demoed my 983K w/YS-6 shaft plus others and the sim registered straight or draw 240-250 (In reality I hit the ball same direction but 30 yards farther on the course. When I hit the 6 iron (Mizunio) DG S300 it went 175 (average, straight or slight draw, standard lie and loft) with a smooth swing. So any additional input would be appreciated. Thanks

Where are you holding the club when using Interlock grip, fingers or palms? For me the clubs are in my fingers....
