I've walked most of my 35-40 rounds this year, with a Sun Mountain bag I bought at the end of 2018?

Will definitely buy Sun Mountain gear again, very good quality bag.

When I was a kid that's what I always had. This was before there was a such thing as waterproof bags. We would tie a gatbage bag over the bottom to keep the water from soaking through!

Also no double straps back then.

Wedge money is burning a hole in my pocket. I checked on the one I've been waiting on on eBay, it's up over $100 with days left in the auctions. WTF. I can get a brand new one, one generation newer, for not that much more. Guess I'll be finding a Ping dealer that can order one for me.

Come on, it's exactly what you asked for. Time to pull the trigger!

Do any Canadians know where to get their hands on MG Golf gloves? Normally would buy them online and ship to near the border and go pick them up, but obviously can't right now.

Wow they don't ship to Canada?

Sold for $120 shipped, the new 3.0 wedges are $150, though maybe there would be an upcharge for the shaft, I didn't bother to look.

Anyway, on topic I bought a Glide 2.0 wedge that was "close enough" from 2nd Swing for $60 shipped. LOL eBay. Looking like it might be an expensive week, since I have a couple hybrid thoughts rattling around in my head too.

Based on their website it does not seem so, don't see any options to select Canada or a province for location...

Can't find any local distributors...

Just picked up a Titleist TS3 19* hybrid. First hybrid I've owned so I'm looking forward to getting out on the course with it. Wanted a 13.5* 3 wood as well but the only one in stock was the demo so I've got to order that. Hoping to have it sometime next week.

the joys on online shopping in canada

if you are really desperate you can do a freight forwarder....... i did one in Los Angeles. Planet Express i think. not cheap but not outrageously expensive either.

noticing more and more sites have shipping to canada. but some still don't and some won't take canadian credit cards so blaine/bellingham/grand forks/buffalo etc. package pickup doesn't work..... my freight forwarder will actually buy stuff for you. you give them the URL, they buy the item and charge you for it (and a fee of course)

i purchased a srixon u85 2-iron stiff-flex.......... if the description is wrong (don't have it in my hands right now), it's 2-iron stiff srixon driving iron. very very popular on tour

this purchase would go against most fitting advice......

i'm happy buying it for 2 reasons:

1) i enjoy fooling around with these things and also the collecting aspect to this. i would love to buy a 5 degree driver if they were readily available used.

2) i don't want to buy a srixon U-85 regular flex.. i already have a bunch of clubs like that.

shockingly, but i hit the club very very well from the tee............ the thing i love about this club and stiffness is that the harder i swing the better the shot. very straight, lots of roll. most mishiits roll quite a long way.

i think i may go to quite stiff driver shaft..... it seems like with very stiff shafts the harder you swing the better the result and the misshiits are very predictable.

part of my motivation for this club was caddying for a player in pga canada event who almost never hit driver. he hit TM 3 iron. outdrove a big hitter on one hole. very very eye-opener.

haven't had opportunity to hit the srixon from the fairway........ my guess it'll be huge low runner but maybe some bad mishiits

27 degree Titleist 818H1 hybrid.

Lofted it up to 29 to maintain gaps (my hybrids are 19 turned down to 17, 21 and 25) and took it to the range. It needs to be regripped. Shaft is a little more flexible than I'm used to but this has excellent potential. Hit a half dozen balls at the end of my session and rained them down on the target flagstick. Will be put in play this weekend, pulling the 5i.

Remembered while cleaning my clubs last night that the 25 (5h) is +0.50", so I may need to set the 27 at 27 or 28 to get the gap I'm looking for. We'll see what happens on the course this weekend.

The only thing is that would defeat the purpose of buying an $8 glove lol... But those gloves are terrific. Curious though, Is a freight forwarder consider essential? The Canadian border is still closed to non-essential traffic.

Picked up a couple of low lofted hybrids to see if they would kick the incumbent 3h out of the bag. I think it knew this was in process, because it's been the best club in my bag the last couple weeks and produced two great shots on par 3s today.

Now if I could just convince the putters that they're all about to be tossed into a pond maybe they'd start cooperating.

Ordered my G410 hybrid on 7/22. Still waiting...

From ping direct or one of the big box stores or elsewhere?

From my pro shop, so sorta direct.

Dang - that's quite the back log.

hopefully this doesn't happen to you, but i have a friend who ordered a new ping driver after being fitted (not a big box store) and after a month of waiting was notified they weren't going to be able to fulfill the order because they ran out of stock and it was being discontinued.

So, I messed around with some balls. Scottc25 suggested the AVX. I tried a sleeve. They didn't seem any longer and when I got closer to the green, they were not as good as ProVs.

I really like the Bridgestone Tour B RXS. I am getting up there in age and Driver is probably 95-100. This ball is for swing speeds less than 105.

It is about 5-7 yards longer on every iron. Full shots into the green stop about the same as the ProV. Putting. No difference.

The difference comes right where I would have expected it to come. Those 50 yard or less pitches, (whether a normal pitch, or back in the stance SW that goes fairly low, hop/hop/stop).

The Bridgestone is just not as consistent nor does it stop as quickly on close, low compression shots around the green. The hop/hop/stop I had with the Prov is now hop/hop/ roll out 6-8 feet with the Bridgestone.

Anyway, have been using the Bridgestone except when conditions are dry and greens are not holding well, then I use the ProV.

Objectively the trade off is really not worth changing from ProV. But, subjectively, I like it. Plus, I find the Bridgestone more penetrating into the wind. My ProV gets punished into a headwind way more, it seems.

Edit. I have no idea why Bridgestone thinks having 12 or more different men's balls is a good way to get a bigger market share. It seems they are just itching for info overload and confusion, and inventory management problems. Unless they are moving out of the e series altogether.???

Been randomly bidding on putters on ebay, finally backed into a "win". It's a Yes! of some variety, I forget which. Will be taking it out for a spin this weekend, it'll probably be defective just like all of the others.

So after a little over 5 weeks waiting my Ping G410 hybrid with a Tour AD DI 95x shows up. Bring it home and double check to make sure the screws are tight on the shaft and weight. Go to loosen the weight and the bottom of the screw snaps off. So much for putting that in play soon!

Variance: I put my old 816 H2 back in the bag yesterday and hit it GREAT.

Got a sim titanium 3 wood 15 degree head to replace my epic flash 15 degree. Throwing it in my tensei white 80g TX tipped 1.5 inches, 1/2 inch short. Will likely play at 13.5 or 14.25 degrees.

Also got the new SIM 2iron UDI with a tensei white 100g TX tipped 2 inches.

Excited to hit them both. Bag feels really close to being done for now.

I was reading the descriptions of the clubs before I saw who posted it. Not a surprise that I guessed correctly

If I go out and look for another 3-wood I think I'm going to go with an Epic Flash. For some reason when Callaway adds "computer AI" that means it doesn't work for me.
