dbringans Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Pretty happy with this setup - Woods: TM R7 425 9.5, stock stiff shaft Srixon W403AD 14.5 degree TM V-Steel 18 degree - very happy with this combo, the Srixon especially is an underrated club in my opinion. I've always had trouble feeling confident hitting 3W off the deck, but not anymore Irons: 3-5 - Traditional Golf "Tour Cavity" with PX 5.5 6-PW - Tradtional Golf TR1, PX 5.5 - these irons are magnificent, both beautiful and buttery soft. Shafts are perfect for me, get up quickly and flatten out nicely, just as they're supposed to. Wedges: Custom Scratch 54 + 60 degree in brushed nickel finish, Rifle Spinner - one of the best golf investments I've ever made - totally right for my game and I can finally feel confident with a lob wedge. Others I've used in the past have felt too heavy and misses were always fat or left short. This LW is perfect and great for full shots from the fairway too. Putter: Hogan BHBB4 CC, although this has been taken out of the bag now for my 1988 vintage Ping Anser 2, still the best putter I've ever used Edited February 8, 2007 by dbringans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrazygolfer Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Beautiful Traditional. Scratch wedges are, IMO, the best in the wedge business. Nice bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ACG - couldn't agree with you more about Scratch wedges. I wish more people had a chance to see the Traditional irons in person as they're so beautiful. Thanks for the reply and the appreciation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Alexander Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 This is a very well thought out bag, particularly the irons. I haven't seen those Traditional irons in the flesh, however they do look very good. I also like the combination of the cavities in the long irons and blades in the shorter irons. So far as the wedges are concerned, they look like a work of art, particularly the 60*. If you could take a few more photos from different angles that would be great.

Thanks for the comments, Jack - have added some extra pix in the original post of the 60 degree, as well as a side by side comparison of the 54 and 60 to show the slight difference in bounce of the two wedges. I'm normally a fan of a satin finish on my clubs, hence the Traditional irons really appeal to me, however I wanted a slightly "rougher" or raw finish in the wedges as I felt they would look better after spending some quality time hitting out of sand. It was a good move, I think. I got the wedges with pretty standard specs - see below, but full customisation is totally available. I'd highly recommend giving them a go.

rb2235 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 That is one classy looking set of sticks. You described the irons as "buttery soft" and that is exactly what they look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgolfer Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 D-O-P-E We have very much the same tastes, what an excellent bag. Those Scratch wedges are just sick, almost art pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
