    I have this in 10.5*. It's the one I keep coming back to..... Why oh why are you selling this?
  2. PRGR TR500 = Nirvana for me!
  3. Can't disagree. Love the look of that FW!
  4. I have a set of these. Great off linksy firm fairways. Very pretty and workable shape.
  5. Yes you may have regretted that one when your shoulder gets better Pete!!!
  6. Yep - the guy flat-out flushes it. Followed him at Pres Cup at Muirfield and his driver face has the smallest "diming" mark on the face I have ever seen on a driver. Don't know how he does it with such a huge pause at the top, but he just doesn't miss.
  7. Stu Stinger/435 will be built later this week, along with G-Field GFT 16* 4 wood with a Crazy FW-80 7.4. Nice small heavy head that will hopefully keep me out of trouble. Mizzy K75td/Stinger gives great feedback on swing, but it's not as long as the Jbeam 425/ Shingo.....am hoping new driver combo will be best of both.
  8. Yes TR500 are the best all round irons I have hit. I am really looking after these ones - just a joy to play. The PRGR sole grind just suits my action. I hope PRGR do another limited run like this again. If they do I won't be able to resist!!
  9. Got another Stinger 73s going into a Jbeam 435 10.25* head. Always looking for Matsumoto putters.....and........there is a 3rd "holiday or visitor bag" being assembled.........that's about it! Fitness and flexibility is the main theme for 2015.
  10. Thanks Ian! TR500s are best irons I have ever played. I am really looking after this set. And yes, the 500bl set I thought was a really great looking iron, but the TR500 Limited is gorgeous in the flesh - I get many nice comments from playing partners. I can imagine the new PRGR low offset irons play just as well, but I don't think they look as clean in the cavity. My brother has a set too and he loves them.
  11. No surprises that my 2 bags are pretty similar in composition - I suppose after much tinkering I know what works well for me. Right now Bag #1 has the edge for scoring, but only just! Could happily play either of these any day (and do). Bag #1 Mizuno k75td 10.25*, Diamana Stinger 70(s), 44.75 G-Field GFT-FW 14*, Crazy Red 80 7.4 untipped PRGR ZOOM 220i #2 M43 4-PW PRGR TR500 Limited, M43 AW/SW Yamaha raw 52/56*, s200 LW Titleist Japan Vokey forged 62*, s200 Hiro Matsumoto MZ-05 Bag #2 Jbeam 425 Tour 10.5*, Roddio Shingo Spec Roddio M6(x), 45.25 Tourstage Limited 15*, Speeder 757(s) PRGR ZOOM 220i #3 M43 4-PW PRGR 500bl, M43 AW/SW Sky Dream Jump Tb D-Tour 52/56*, Shimada 110(s) LW Titleist Vokey SM5 forged 60*, S grind, s300 Gauge Design "The One"

    I have PRGR TR500 irons now and want for nothing. But this price is really fair!!! Swingweight in wedges is a bit low for me, but they are great too. Glws
  13. daamartin replied to Eca's post in a topic in Buy, Sell, & Trade
    What is the swingweight of the Marus please?
  14. I am doing this experiment right now, comparing a Crazy Red 80 7.4 (untipped) in a G-Field GF-FW versus a Crazy FW-80 7.4 in a JP Callaway X-Hot Pro head. Both good. Crazy Red setup is tighter and heavier, but goes lower. When I catch it the FW-80 setup is longer, but not as easy to control and get on starting line. Perhaps needs a heavier head? My previous gamer, which I don't quite have the swing speed for anymore, is an untipped Accra SE80* (M5 or x) in Yamaha InpresX 14*. Irreplacable over about 6 years! So there you go - you just gotta try stuff!
  15. Softer but tighter. Just a bit more give in the tip, but nice straight flight. My bad shot with 3w is left, so going x flex untipped really works for me. Hope this helps!
  16. Absolutely yes. Have done that several times with x flex shafts in 3w. Works well.
  17. Selling this for my club builder Mike Percival in Brisbane. As new. 9.5*. For this head hard hitters may only apply - it is low and anti-left. Very solid thing with a gorgeous shape. Asking $250 + shipping.
  18. Thanks for that Chris - I don't feel nearly as bad about my golf club collection now!

    Yes PTP is a student of the game - and drinks beer. Always makes for good conversation!
  20. Sorry, but posts like this don't help anyone. There are Aussies who have frequented this site for longer than most without a blemish or a single "bad seller" rating after dozens of transactions. I have had my fair share of "bad gear" from other international sellers, but deal with these things separately rather than villify and over-generalise/ dump on a whole nation! There are plenty of honest people on TSG (including many Australians). Let's keep it all respectful for those of us who do the right thing!
  21. Well I had REALLY better let you know then!
  22. I am building one now with a 70s (probably Jbeam 435) Will let you know if experiment fails! D

    I've actually never purchased a really bad "dud" item through members here and would likewise think my buyers have been very happy at the other end. People here generally go to some lengths to highlight blemishes, rock dings, sky marks, messy assemblies, scratches etc. Let's all try and make sure that culture continues!
  24. ALL SOLD Thanks everyone
