K2_2 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Well, instead of posting another dream bag, I started putting one together! Driver: narrowing down the list, but the Tourstage X-Drive 460 with a Quattro Tech shown here or an ERC Hyper might stay in the bag for awhile. However, the Yamaha 425V is very tempting, and I'm still thinking about a Roddio in the driver as well. Fairway metal. G-Field GFT 4W, run of the mill graphite design YS shaft. Amazing off the deck, nice and long off of the tea, and zero complaints. Hybrids; I am leaning heavily toward the new Mizuno JPX, but a last minute demo of the OnOFF fairway/hybrid left me in limbo. I need to sort this problem out as I only picked up a 5-PW set of irons as I was set on the JPX hybrids . Irons: OnOFF Plus with Roddio I-10. I do not know where to begin describing these irons, so I will throw up a picture or two for now and a more in depth review will follow in the equipment forum. And yes, I will finish unrwrapping them, I just haven't gotten around to it yet! Wedges: Callaway X-Tour 2008 Japan-Limited/Liquid Chrome wedges. Super soft, nice grind, and beautiful looking clubs. The MD grooves will also shred a range ball like there is no tomorrow. Putter: G-Field Premium Zone in blue. The Japanese guys I met were crazy about Odyssey, Scotty's and Bettinardis; I couldn't find a new Signature MR, so until something else comes along, the G-Field will stay in the bag.

xxio Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Kyle, Nice. Don't forget the travel bag though. Hate to see anything bad happen to that set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks Toby, I got a nice BagBoy, a few extra towels, and the stiff arm that you all mentioned. I might hold onto my old irons and find a run of the mill driver to toss in the bag when I'm travelling, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Love the pictures man! Looks like time well spent in Japan my friend! Don't you just love the driving ranges in Japan? Setup looks amazing! I'm jealous! (^_^) Glad to see you have at least a couple of Callaway clubs in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks T, I need to work on the pictures a bit... my camera died on the range, so hopefully that was just the batteries! Ranges in Japan are top notch, although I like the food you can order at ranges here in Thailand, so if you could mix the two... . As for the setup, so far, so good and many thanks to everyone here and at the WRX for their thought and ideas about different clubs, fitting, and a bit of inspiration as well! As for the Callaways, they usually have something that I like in the lineup, and I love their customer service, no matter where I have been they are responsive and try to take care of their customers. I would probably be much better off with the ERC Hyper as it is more forgiving, but someone told me that would be replaced early next year so... .

K2_2 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hmm, something to put the hybrids in on my way back through Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Well, I've added a little more kit to the bag... I settled on some OnOFF Fairway Wings Hybrids to bridge the gap between the G-Field fairway metal and my irons. I'm also going to toy around with a GIII driver, although I'm still tempted to put a Yamaha (425V or the new 4.6D Type S) or another Callaway in the bag. I love the X-Drive 460, and might keep one for my 'on' days, but when I'm not swinging as well, I seem to lose a bit more distance with it. Stangely though, I still found it to be fairly straight. Or perhaps I have been extremely lucky... no harm in that! I've also added a few Roddio iron shaft pictures. After some of BigBen's problems with iron shafts from another company, I'm feeling pretty lucky to have gone with the Roddios, as the finish looks stunning, and they seem to perform very consistantly from club to club. Ben, if things don't work out with a new set from GD, I'll see if I can find someone playing the Roddio I-10 in an X versus a stiff, and I'll ask what the CPM's come out to. Once I settle on a driver, the only other thing I might play around with is a custom grind on my 52*. I'm not looking to change putters but... I did played around in a shop with a Gold's Factory putter the other day as well... if it had a siteline on it, it would have ended up on this thread. Fnatstic finish and balance, and a very nice look at address. If its lying around next week, it still might happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
