Carlo Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 My current bag setup: Driver: Srixon - ZR-600 440CC - Made in Japan - 10.5* I can hit this Driver nice and smooth and I have gained more than 20 yards distance compared to my other drivers. However I can hit the same distance with my Tourstage ViQ driver which I keep as a backup. The shaft is basically designed for my swing type and I am very happy to have found the driver I was looking for long time. FW Wood: Srixon - Z-Steel - Made in Japan - 3 - 14.5* - Shaft SR Flex I simply love this 3 wood! I have always been searching for one that I could hit from both the tee and the deck. After 2 years I finally found it. I can get this baby 200 yards from the fairway with a smooth lazy swing. FW Wood: Srixon - Z-Steel - Made in Japan - 5 - 18.5* - Shaft SR Flex I love this club deeply and I got some of my best shots on par 5s during yesterday round. This club will stay in my bag for a long time. Irons: Srixon ZR-600 - Made in Japan - 4/PW - NS PRO 950 GH - R Flex Finally I made a round with these babies after 10 days of taking used to them at the Range. They gave me a bit to think about on how to hit them properly the first 3 days. Then I started to feel what a great iron this is! Butterly soft even on miss-hits unless you get them on the edge of the toe or really back of the heel! They are not super easy to hit, but once you get used to they are real fun to get in the air. At good times I could really gain more than 15 yards extra from each of them (something I was unable to do with other sets like R7 Forged). But the real thing showed off at the course! Man, these irons are great from the fairway and the rough! With an easy and smooth swing I was able to score 92 on a very difficult course (but again I 3 putted on 7 holes). On par 3's I struggled a bit, but it was because I had to use the 4 iron 3 times (and I am not confident yet with the 4 iron) but for the rest, they were just great... These are the irons that will stay in my bag for a long time! . Wedges: Srixon ZR-600 - Part of the above set - they come in loft 51* for the A wedge and 57* for the S wedge. They are great wedges and the feeling is consistent with the rest of the set. The spin is unbelievable and I was using Srixon Z-URC ball which seems just designed for these wedges. The spin given to the ball made it stop the way I always wanted the ball to stop on the green! Scotty Cameron - Newport 1.5 - Putter - 35" I have this for more than one year. I feel good with it as well as all my Scotty putters. No much to say here, everybody on this site knows about the Newport by Scotty. Ball - Titleist NXT Tour However I have been trying the Srixon Z-URC and the new XXIO Japan made balls lately. I am considering a switch as I gain a bit more distance with the latest and around the greens the performance is the same (if not even better) than the Titleist. Bag - Royal Collection Staff Bag - Weight "8.5 pounds" unbelievable My putters Collection: Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 1.5 Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2 Scotty Cameron Circa 62 Type 2 (Gripmaster leather grip) Hiro Matsumoto 40th Anniversary Ltd. Ed. I have also few back-ups shown here. Depending on how my swing is, I will put some other woods in the bag... I also own another complete sets of clubs. It is the Yamaha Inpres series shown here. I Will try to describe these later. Thank you for looking my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Very very nice Carlo.... I'm sure many people envy your bags!!! Thank you Gocchin! Yours looks similar to mine too! I did try the Srixon 505 (here the number is different) but the agent told me to wait for this new version and I did! I really liked the 505 and it was a long and painful wait for the Z-600!! I have directed my choice to stuff Made in Japan, because I think pretty soon even those few Brands that still do there forging in Japan will direct the production to other Countries. I have been lucky to work in Asia and save costs in shipping and duties and especially been able to test those expensive clubs before taking the decision to invest. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
