forgedCBuser Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 hmmm... i guess we'll see quite a bit of tourstage in the bst soon then, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCsub Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 C'mon Jim... don't hold out on us! This is exactly why I got my set before you got yours... if I waited for your review I would then have had to get on Chris' waiting list just to get them! Seriously though, congrats on the clubs. I hit the 7 iron a little more last night, and it really is something. I still have the Zs in my bag for a round today, and will switch out this weekend. The Gauge is slightly longer from heel to toe, and provides a little more room for error. It also has a slightly thicker topline, but is very confidence-inspiring at address. Hit 'em well good buddy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAQ Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 hmmm...i guess we'll see quite a bit of tourstage in the bst soon then, huh? Hah, I think I'll keep my Z101's for now. But, they are definitely in the backup role. Also, those new two toned grips that the Gauge have as an option are really excellent. Great feel with them.

CLMelton Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Very nice looking! I'm sure a lengthy review is coming soon. Let us know how those grips hold up. Our assistant pro tried out a dual textured grip like that (cord on top, rubber on bottom) and they fell apart within a month right at the seam of the two textures.

If they are durable it's an excellent feel, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAQ Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Ok, second day. More of the same... The hardest part I'm having is getting used to the length. I'm hitting these things at least a club longer. I'm not a monster hitter or anything either. I'm hitting over greens I used to land on when I hit it pure and accurate. I'm going to play tomorrow too. ... :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCsub Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I'm glad to see I am not the only one who mispels "Gauge" - I always accidentally type the u first too! I played what I thought would be my last round today w/ the Zs. Hit them better than ever. I guess they got wind the Gauge were in town and started finding greens. Great round today. Playing w/ just my dad (who never plays) shot 71 (par 72) in a scramble on a very difficult course. The Nakashima 380 / Aldila NV65 was superb today. Averaged about 275 with a long of 310 on a downhill Par 5. Never a distance guy... I am so happy I can finally go over 240 consistently. Can't wait to work the whole Gauge set this weekend. I'll catch you tomorrow Jim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the graphite in those? That would be an interesting try. The 6.0 kick very nice in these for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack0428 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 My GD CB are in Fujikura 717 graphite shaft. 3-Pw, D3. They are looooooooooong............ added 15 yards to all my yardage on irons, 8I was 140 and now easy 155. The long irons are unbelievably easy to hit. I love these babies. Shot 36 on a front 9 in hellish typhoon windy day with them too. I am Happy!!!! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
