    The Edgeyfication of my bag

    I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately thinking about my setup and wondering if I really should be bagging hard to hit 3-4 irons and GFF blades. These mystical Samurai forgings have failed to knock the requisite 4 strokes off my cap and I'm wondering if I am deluding myself and should reverse course and head in the same direction as Edgey and NaH by bagging hybrids and shovels. This has been reinforced with NaH dropping 4 strokes off his cap, Edgey's victory in the inaugural GR European Matchplay Championships and Soonerbs's humiliating GFF defeat at the hands of Adams paddles.

    Not wanting to spend any extra money I've been digging around my basement and have found a few old clubs and have come up with the following setup to help me Edgify my bag:

    Cleveland Launcher 10.5*
    Cleveland Launcher 3 wood 15*
    Cleveland Launcher 5 wood 19*
    Cleveland Halo 19*
    Cleveland Halo 22*
    Cleveland Halo 25*
    Taylormade R7 TP 6 - PW
    Cleveland CG12 Wedge 52*
    Callaway X Forged Wedge 58*
    Never Compromise Putter

    Please let me know what you think of this proposed setup compared to my sig and vote in the poll. As always this GR Poll will be binding and I will follow the will of GR.
    I chose the road less traveled.

    Now where the f#ck am I?

    other than the R7TP being entirely too small a head with not enough offset, you're on the right track.

    I am really surprised to hear this from a "blade" guy... I guess scores don't lie and too much ego in our thinking. Go with with you could have fun and score lower, Just like what they say ...KISS (keep it simple, stupid)

    Take the 3 or 4 iron to the range, and just hit it. If you believe there hard to hit, they will be.

Edgey's victory in the inaugural GR European Matchplay Championships This match never happened. and Soonerbs's humiliating GFF defeat at the hands of Adams paddles. This was a fluke. Although Dave is obviously a great player the GFF magic was subdued by the pungent smell of poop.

    First of all, the so called "paddles" that Dave plays are forged irons with almost zero offset and they look very much like a blade at address. The Gold Plus shaft makes them kind of gay but they are defnitely players clubs. The irons you mention above are meant for low handicaps. Personally, I think hybrids are great for long layups on Par 5's or a long shot into the green on a par 4 but that's about it. I don't think they are good on par 3's and they balloon into the wind. I would keep the 4&5 iron in the bag. Get rid of the Never Compromise Putter. Vijay used to use that putter and that's enough reason to get it out of the bag.

    This bag looks good, couple of points that might help

    1. Your driver doesnt have enough loft, 12 degrees is the minimum.

    2. The X Forged is a little tricky, replace with a Lovett "Tour Standard"

    If you do this you will be loved by women, respected by men and most importantly you will become a winner.

    PS If you can find time when you are in Blighty PM me, maybe you can become the first overseas GR European Open winner

    You have to understand that anything 'Adams' comes with the stigma of being made for high handicap hackers therefore all their clubs as classified as chopper shite and this applies equally to those Adams paddles regardless of their feeble attempt to produce a forged 'players' club.

    Thin topline, very small offset, and I'm happy. Thanks for the defense, FD... I go along with the "paddles" flames because I'm good natured. But they're playaz clubs, ain't no doubt about it. I almost went in for some R7TP irons a few months back, but when I put them on the ground they looked so much like the Adams (except for even MORE offset-- Kenny Perry) that I figured I was better off with these... the Black Gold shafts might be gay but my particular set is manly enough that I'll take those flames as well.. :-)

    I wonder, though... when choosing between the Never Compromise and Scotty Gay-meron putters, is there, um, a compromise? Wack-E? Bettinardi? Starship Enterprise putter?

    The other option is a Bat Signal putter. I think Horseballs has one he's looking to offload cheaply.

    whhhhaaaatt?!? I'm still trying to figure out which one i hit better: my 18* loft (soon to be 19*) KZG CB IIM 2-iron or my Infinity 18* 2-iron made-in-effin'-commie-China hybrid that looks like a wood: the real iron, forged in Japan and designed in the States, feels better on the tee drives, but the fat bottomed franken' wood hybrid does a tad better off fairways: same loft, but flys higher.

    got real club questions? pay the lousy dough to a real teaching pro that'll fix the swing - do that before buying new sticks.

    so, Stick with the GFF blades you...!

    Why would I do something crazy like that when I get all the technical swing advice I need from GR, especially from Larry's threads?

    R7 TP irons have gay plastic in the cavity. The Adams irons do not. I'm pretty sure there is more offset and the head size of the R7 TP is larger as well.

    Kiwi I'm not sure you are entirely serious, and heaven forbid that you should let GR decide what you have in the bag. Your whole game could go to hell in a handbasket.
    That said you're proposed changes are no more than a poor compromise or halfway house.I realize you don't want to spend any money, but that would not be the way you can Edgeyfy your bag.
    If you do this you have to do it properly. The best bet would be to go ALL Callaway. Say fusion or wide sole irons. With regular graphite shafts of course. Maybe an FTIQ driver in 13 degree loft. Some of their best offset hybrids. You get the idea. I think you are onto a winner though with the batsignal putter. that will set off the bag just nicely.
    If you are going to do this there are no half measures. You could race into battle, screaming like a banshee...SGI OR DIE !!

    I really like those Never Compromise putters. Especially the one Jean Van de Velde used in the open. Boy, that poor little froggie played his buttocks off for 71 holes but the putter had nay blame.

    Pimples, you are a funny guy. Funny for a hobo, obviously.

    How can we prove we played that will satisfy your obsession. How did you prove you played with fd.

    Are you sure its not about pics? Should I ask camp Freddy to pm you?

    I voted other. Here's what I would do if I had your choice of clubs. This is assuming they are made to the same spec.

    Cleveland Launcher 10.5*
    Cleveland Launcher 3 wood 15*
    Cleveland Launcher 5 wood 19* or Cleveland Halo 19*
    Cleveland Halo 22* or Taylormade R7 TP 3
    Mizuno MP-30 4-5, MP-33 6-PW
    Cleveland CG12 Wedge 52*
    Callaway X Forged Wedge 58*
    Never Compromise Putter

    or

    Cleveland Launcher 10.5*
    Cleveland Launcher 3 wood 15*
    Cleveland Launcher 5 wood 19* or Cleveland Halo 19*
    Cleveland Halo 22* or Taylormade R7 TP 3
    Taylormade R7 TP 4-5
    MP-33 6-PW
    Cleveland CG12 Wedge 52*
    Callaway X Forged Wedge 58*
    Never Compromise Putter

    I've never hit either the R7 TP or the MP 30's so I'm not entirely sure on forgiveness etc.
    Maltby rates the r7 TP as a Game Improvement iron. I imagine the MP-33 would be considered conventional. (Interestingly the MP32 has a lower playability factor than the mp 67).

    I used to hate hybrids. If you're replacing your irons you need the same shafts as your irons. This makes a huge difference. I never wanted to replace a 3 or 4 iron but I use a 19 degree hybrid instead of a 2iron. The weak shafts that these things come with can cause all sorts of problems. I got a 105gram X-Stiff NV off ebay for $8 brand new and the thing is a laser guided missile now!

    As for the Never Compromise. Seems like he's a big time Cleveland guy. At least they look decent!

    Not if you consider that most iron shafts are in the 110-130 gram range. The stocker was an 85 gram stiff. The new shaft stopped the ballooning and eliminates a hook that sometimes creeps in with hybrids.

    Ahhh.

    You have a hybrid that takes an iron shaft.

    Gotcha.

    The last hybrid thingy's I messed with many moons ago took a .335 wood shaft. At least I think they did. Oh Hell, I don't know.

    That said you're proposed changes are no more than a poor compromise or halfway house.I realize you don't want to spend any money, but that would not be the way you can Edgeyfy your bag.
    If you do this you have to do it properly. The best bet would be to go ALL Callaway. Say fusion or wide sole irons. With regular graphite shafts of course. Maybe an FTIQ driver in 13 degree loft. Some of their best offset hybrids. You get the idea. I think you are onto a winner though with the batsignal putter. that will set off the bag just nicely.
    If you are going to do this there are no half measures. You could race into battle, screaming like a banshee...SGI OR DIE !!
    Mate I'm deadly serious. Have you ever known me to joke around?

    It's a done deal anyway, the wheels are set in motion and the binding poll is underway. At present the GFF are staying in the bag by a whisker but this could change at any time. Stay tuned!
    I chose the road less traveled.

    Now where the f#ck am I?

    Kiwi,

    I haven't cast a vote yet as I don't think I have the right to influence such a big decision. As for the R7 TPs being shovels or player CBs, they are bona fide cast CB POS hacker paddles by GR standards, and sorry Dave but your Adams shovels are in the same boat. Just like my TPS 6.0's. By other less demanding standards they are all player cavities with minimal offset and plenty of workability and feedback, but by the lofty standards which we adhere to around here, anything short of Japanese forged muscle back blades are mere gardening tools.

    Not being negative, just letting Kiwi and dave know that GR is a tough crowd. I have no regrets about going back to the TPS 6.0s, but I'm not sure about how good R7 TPs are. I honestly think that even if he ditches the GFF for the shovels, his breif foray to GFF will have improved his ball striking and his results with the shovels will be better than ever. Using GFF was always the right decision for Kiwi at the time, maybe now is the time to go back to shovels and get the benefits of his improved ball striking.

Edgey's victory in the inaugural GR European Matchplay Championships This match never happened. and Soonerbs's humiliating GFF defeat at the hands of Adams paddles. This was a fluke. Although Dave is obviously a great player the GFF magic was subdued by the pungent smell of poop.
    Adams paddles are often used for SHOVELING poop, and are therefore clearly immune.

    I was viewing the poll results and noted that Rosbif voted. I almost forgot about him, I thought he had outlived his usefulness as an alias. I hope he starts posting again.

    Well, well, well. Looks like the pussification of GR is almost complete. Taking the overall numbers the hybrid/shovel toters win 12-9. What a disgrace! This was once the last bastion of macho blade playing ballstrikers, no iron covers permitted. What has happened to this place? Where have all the real men gone?

    Given the circumstances I have no choice but to invoke my >5k post status and overturn this unacceptable and disgraceful poll result.

    On a more serious note, Poe4soul hit the nail on the head with his suggestions. His first suggestion is pretty much exactly what I play although I often swap the 58* out for my 56*.

    Ah well, at least the poll result in Lord Helmets MX vs MP poll is more promising.
    I chose the road less traveled.

    Now where the f#ck am I?

    In all fairness i played with him this weekend and his bag at the moment is the most macho i have ever seen it. From what i heard he will soon be selling the Wide Soles and replacing them with FT i Brids because he is a shameless club **** and inveterate shovel user.
