January 16, 20196 yr Author comment_270059 actually... forecast for Saturday AM has changed.... now forecasting a dry Saturday AM. looks like I'll be playing! Going with Epon driver this weekend. Perhaps a couple of shaft swaps for driver and 3W as well. Edited January 16, 20196 yr by nobmontana

Ugh... Wanted to test out the Epon AF-153 driver I just got out on the course. While I love the Grandista RS-D... the 153 may be a better choice for easier point and shoot drives so I can put more focus on the rest of the game like "putting!!" Putting? That’s not prt of the game I play. It is an entirely stand alone game.
January 22, 20196 yr Author comment_270096 79 on Sat and 73 today. just seems to come and go. Playing an AF-153 shafted with Diamond Speeder now... a bit more forgiving and straighter than the RS-D...
January 27, 20196 yr Author comment_270128 74 today in near freezing temps. Was hard to get used to the speed on the green with slush. Was pretty happy with the round.
January 27, 20196 yr comment_270129 You’re really getting there Nobs! Awesome numbers you are posting. Once you get over the mental block of ”under par” you’ll start shooting in the red on a regular basis.
January 27, 20196 yr Author comment_270133 Oh I really hope so!! Have been putting aside playing other sets and different clubs ( except for driver ) for two months now and I think it is showing in my game.

January 28, 20196 yr Author comment_270137 Absolutely D!! My current set up as follows!! Epon 153 9.5 / Diamond Speeder Jbeam GFW 13 / Diamond Speeder Romaro Type R UT 18 / Crazy STP Epon AF 505 , SUS 316 Combo / Modus 125 Miura MG S-01 52 58 / Modus Wegde 125 Benock Blue Dragon II
January 28, 20196 yr comment_270139 I bet that 316/modus 125 combo feels great. Both you and Cuistot have been putting a lot of off season work, I need to catch up.

Then get out of your mind by looking up and out at the horizon or distant. Step in and make the shot. Putting.... I’m lost.... but it always helps to buy another putter. For me I’m working towards shooting my age so far I’ve got to 78 and I’m only 67 so there’s hope yet. I'm 59. If only....

I also picked up a 4i to complete the set. Spent some time on the range and now I see what the big fuss people are making over these. I will likely pull the 105s and install 120s.

January 28, 20196 yr Author comment_270143 Awesome!! You always preferred the feel of the 120s.. so that makes sense.

February 2, 20196 yr Author comment_270231 Thanks guys!! really happy about the score!! I hope I can maintain the good streak through the season!
February 4, 20196 yr comment_270252 Nice breakthru Nobs. Lots of work. What was do you attribute it to? Fw hit wedges or putter? Combination?
February 4, 20196 yr Author comment_270254 since I started using the AF153 driver I have not been missing much fairway. Putts are contributing for sure. Not missing short ones as frequently as I used to. So that helps. To sum up... I think all aspects of my game have improved just ever so slightly over the winter. I have been trying very hard to delay my release in my swing when I am at the range. I think it helps me hit straighter shots with pretty much all clubs including putting. ?

Hmmm Ive been playing a 10.5 ERC III SP700 recommended by Supo and loving it. I play the stock AD shaft in SR and Hitting fairways has helped me as well. Is the AF153 also SP700?
February 5, 20196 yr Author comment_270268 No it’s not... ELF Ti on the face. Feels as soft as SP700 but I still think SP700 has a bit more pop off the face.
