Should I get blades?

Pro tip...practice on a lesser knife first

Definitely!

Can this apply to girlfriends too?

 

[Splunge]

Have you. Guys tried the iPING app yet? I like it, has helped me repeat my tendencies, and become a more consistent putter, because now I know what I'm doing in all the aspects of my stoke, and I can easily repeat it.

Post this one again

Rock, I see you have the Alpha. Tried it last week on a simulator and it was very impressive. Not sure I get the whole thing with the weight shizzle but the numbers don't lie. I was getting 20 yards on the Jetspeed, too bad I have that one on order. Maybe wait until next year and snag one on the Bay. How do you like that shaft, that seemed to be the only show in town in terms of options to try. I tried the S, not man enough for XS!

The Fubuki plays a touch soft to flex, hence the XS. My Matrix was 265cpm (which is borderline XS), so this isn't much of a migration. Different launch characteristics however.

I find it very long at 45.5", so I will be cutting down an three quarters of an inch on it. I'd much prefer a driver that I can work over one that is only long.

So far, it's a deep driver. I've hit some serious bombs with it. The Gravity Core is legit - it absolutely changes the ball flight. I wasn't a believer until I demo'd it a couple months ago and the flight numbers on the Flightscope were undeniable.

I play mine square, -1* loft and Gravity Core up. I changed out the sole weights too, but I have no idea what's in there, and I don't really give a shit.

So my putter head came detached from the shaft a couple days ago. Getting that re glued this weekend, and getting a superstroke 3.0 put on! Also in my quest for irons, I hav basically come down to options:

Ping s55:
Pros- great controll, consistent distance, stronger lofts, great feel for cast irons

Cons- butt ugly, cast (not really a con for me I guess), also the offset bothers me a touch, another con is that they are a bit expensive for cast irons.

Nike vr pro combo (new ones):
Pros- superb feel, long (one club up on any other I have tried), great bag appeal, and can be had for pretty cheap

Cons- long (I am considering down stepping them to make it only 1/2 club longer) not as easy to work, and seem to dig through the grass to deep.

Bridgestone j40 CB:
Pros: look pretty good!, lots of custom options, very inexpensive for brand new, forged( stil not really a pro or con for me...)

Cons- haven't been able to hit them yet, offset still bugse a bit. And there aren't many reviews out for them.

What do you guys think about the super strokes? And the irons?

 

[BigJim13]

Hate super strokes

You probably won't be able to tell much if a difference between forged and cast. There are lots if threads on this, but hit on the sweet spot all irons feel good.

Strong lofts are a pro?

Get a set of i3 blades. 12 years old and still money.

Superstroke I've got on two putters.
Slim 3.0 and the slim 1.0.
1.0 is the best by far. Still gives me feedback on putts but still keeps the wrists involvement to a minimum.
3.0 just feels huge after using the 1.0 lol

You seriously need to look into Wilson Staff FG Tour V2's. If not, I have a set of Titleist 714 cb's for sale right now in barely used condition

 

[Splunge]

How much for the titties? And I will look into the Wilson's thanks for the suggestion.

 

[MattyB]

J40s the way to go bro.
Don't care how biased I am towards them. They are the best for value out there.

14 years old...and yes I would consider stong lofts a pro, they deliver almost the same distance as the normal loft, but keep the ball down a bit more.

 

[BigJim13]

14 years old...

Still equal to any club in the market today.

Given the reviews I've read on recent Ping (s55 & i25) lines id say they are far better than current Pings.

 

[Splunge]

I hated the i25's loved the s55's, and I want to hit the s56's
