Ti-100's....uuuuugh
One of these days, one of these days.
Actually, the Ti100's aren't that bad. Hard to not hit the ball well with them. They go straight more often that not, even after a bad hit. And when I make good contact...they still feel like I just hit a ping pong ball with a wet noodle...there is
that.
But if you'll remember, my last clubs got ripped off on Christmas Eve, and I had little money to replace them at the time. One of my friends felt bad and came over and handed me that set to play with(I think they were his father's old set, or something). So for that, I have something of a sentimental attachment to them, since the gesture probably meant more to me than having a solid-feeling set of irons.
I sure the hell don't hit my 4I 240 yards anymore, though. Nowhere near that, matter of fact.
Then again...it ain't the arrow, it's the Indian, son(dude who gave me the clubs line).
And while I'm thinking of it, Q -- Billy Badass' custom set is KZG stuff, for the most part. I'm guessing you've heard of them. Dude can pretty much afford any clubs he wants to throw down his scratch rounds with, and he swears by those. I think he paid a BOATLOAD for them, but I never actually asked for an exact number.
And while there's no prestige in it...I'd have no problem playing a round with a set of 1200 Oversize irons tomorrow. Not a fancy brand or even a "good" name, but those were actually darn decent clubs. Never thought the GE's were anything special, but I dug the Oversize. Whole buncha people out on the munis swinging GE's, though.
And really -- cool clubs are cool. But at the end of the day, I don't care if I'm outfitted with a set of women's MacGregors from 1963, just let me out on the course to chase that ball around...I'll find a way to make them work.
Did I mention that I'm now almost as sentimentally attached to my Milwaukee Tools putter as I was to my Anser(just about the exact same club, truth be told)? I call it the Sawzall. I had completely forgotten about the
incident that claimed the life of my previous putter, and showed up at a course that only took cash, without a putter. I had $15 in my pocket, the price of the Milwaukee Tools putter(didn't know they made such a thing...I think it was slightly used). First green, had a really long, breaking putt(bear in mind, there was no practice green at this course, so I'd never so much as hit a ball with the new putter). Sank it. It's been my "baby" ever since, which has produced some laughter amongst the golfing buds...who have come around and are now jealous of my uber-cool Sawzall.
