Scored a set of Titleist 690 cb irons. 2002 era I believe but nice looking clubs. I reshafted them with Aldila NV stiff graphites. Also obtained a set of wedges Reid Lockhart Quad Bounce 52*, 56*,60* for 2 Nike slingshot irons in a local trade.
The irons are my new favs. I've got a high ball flight and these irons brought me down slightly but retained good distance and spin control. Nice feel and feedback on the ball striking aspect. Thinner topline fits my eye. The graphites offered accuracy and really lightened the total package weight. This set up is a winner.
The wedges are again a success. The quad Bounce allowed me to play the ball in multiple positions in my stance without getting "stuck" in the turf and play a number of trajectories and spins. Not as bottom heavy as the new Spin milled Vokeys. Again the little aspect fits me. Chipping and sand shots were good also. Again lots of feedback and feel.
My round---a 3 over 75 with 33 putts which includes uggg one 3 putt green. Normally I'm at 30 or less putts but I hit so many greens in regulation today I had less chips which equals ore putts. Got to start rolling in some longer putts to bring that puuts/round number down.
Anyway that's a thumbs up for the 690 cb and Lockhart wedges.
