Ditto on the paint fill on the wedges.  Really nice.

Where did you purchase / have those NICE Diamana shafts installed?

Thanks!  They are some serious performing wedges, that's for sure!

I actually got both of them from WRX members!  One was a reply to a WTB and the other is from a friend on here who just happened to have one!  Oh yeah, and the bag.. I copied yours!  The Voyage!

You need to update your sig w/ the pings!

They were installed at a place called Golf Coast here in the OC.  Nick is the guy that did them, he has dialed in my entire set and is very meticulous about his work.  He makes sure to explain why and how he does things to my set.. a list of what hes done so far:

Driver: install, spine/flo, custom ferrule, tipping to lenght at 44.5 and CPM'd to play at the flex i need also lowing the ballfight (my 9.5 goes lower than my 8.5 09 BTP)

3wood:  install, spine/flo, ferrule, he did 2 mock ups and CPM'd/SW'd both configs before ending on the final product which is tipped 1.5" at 42.5 and place to the EXACT freq as my driver!

Hybrid:  I wanted it to feel like an iron, he tipped CPM'd/SW'd so it plays 39.5 and tungsten weighted it to D3.5

Irons:  Installed tour concepts, spine/flo'd all of them including the wedges.. you should see the variance in the logo's on each club, its amazing how "off" they are w/o the spining, custom lengths, also SW'd them at the new shorter length (38.5 3 iron) to start at D4 and gradually increase to heavier with the short irons and wedges, my wedges are also done to Miura specs (they are a Miura dealer) and SW at D8.5/D9 on the 54/58

This is the best set i've ever had, in terms of my ballstriking and dispersion all the way around.. the rest is all up to me hahah  

[Brando5105]

[hornav]

Hey Tai!  It's me, David...I met you on the course this past Monday.  Honestly, it's the most beautiful set of clubs I've seen in a while.  I think I started my round so bad because I was drooling and I couldn't keep my eyes of those clubs.  The Diamana ION WB is special!  Tai's a solid player - and LONG.  He outdrove me routinely by 30-50 yards, although on the 2nd par 5 on the back 9, I somehow outdrove him by 20 with my "ancient" driver...ha ha (must have hit granite or something in the fairway).  See you on the course sometime...

No, but I did get a Transformers and GI Joe staff bag!

BTW, just to put you on notice, I blame you for my desire to find a bb2 3 slot now.

LOL! Hey David!  It was good playing with you.. yes you did kill that drive!  But I birdied the hole!   After that mystery phone call you were hitting the ball really well, that call shoulda came one #1 instead!  That Nike rep and that other guy were hilarious.. really fun round.. PM me next time you're playing TR.

BB2 is really sweet.. It feels really good too.. I've never been a blade putter but just had to have this one just to have it.. i gamed it and its really easy for me to line up short putts with..

[whatsamatta]

Wow. Now THAT is an awesome bag.

[dcdunk3]

that might be the nicest bag ive seen

[danielscho]

Great Bag, love the iron

[Josh The Nosh]

Thats unreal golf porn. your obviously also great with a camera grats on awesomness

[sssteven]

You are obviously someone who takes great pride in his selections of equipment, while also being fascidious about the way they look.  I appreciate that!!  Enjoy.

Scott

PS I hope you get some nice iron covers to keep thise babies looking like new.

[pdaero]

Love the setup Pure! It is solid from top to bottom, my favorite bag (with the exception of Will, TM182). How do you like the S9-1 driver and fairway?

[Pure745]

LOL.. Thanks man.. Will's bag is "okay" i guess

I've got Titleist 909's in there now.. and some new irons coming too.. when you see the update.. you'll most likely change your mind on mine and Will's haha.. jk.. thanks check back in a few days new set should be built soon!

Oh yeah I see that now. I am highly considering getting a D3. Give me some reasons why I should. I have an Axivcore Black that I would place in it.. You think that would be a good combo? What are the new irons you speak of? OH so you think they will oust his? I have swung them, mighty nice I might say. I had a lie for only a righty and borrowed his 5 iron and poked it 170 out there. Not too shabby, for sure the best iron I have ever hit in righty!

[kekoa]

let me get this straight.  you shoot -2 a few weeks ago and switch irons or did you already switch?

[theislandofpen]

Sweet clubs man!!!  Those nike blades are sick.  Good luck on the course and with life.

[Pure745]

UPDATED 4/30/09.. DQ'd from HO Challenge today.. for this new bag setup.  Enjoy!

[TM golf guy]

Well worth getting DQ'd for. Its not like you had a real chance at winning anyway, and neither do I. I just hope you have this stuff by this summer (yeah right) so I can hit it.

[JakeBarnes]

Wow.  Those Adams MB's are stunning.  When you go, you go big.  Absolutely gorgeous.

[Stix]

So how do you like the adams stix?  They do look sweet!  And the D3 driver?  Inquiring minds want to know...

[macglock]

That is a hell of a way to go out...Im gonna be out when I play my first round because of backorders and shipping delays....not quite as exciting.

Check my other thread in the Preview DQ thread.. i wrote a review.  But so far, Adams are super nice.. VR's are amazing so its a tough battle.. Adams are more forgiving and VR's are a little softer.. but after 1 round (i know.. its only 1 round) I'm about 3/4 club longer w/ Adams.. ball flight w/ Adams is MUCH better.. flatter less spin..

D3 w/ HD6 is INSANE!  Better than WB in that head for me.. fellow WRX'r (who now has my VR's) said the same thing.. HD6 FTW!

Thx Mag.. what kind of stuff you got coming?

[pdaero]

What a setup! When was the deadline for the Ho Challenge? Like Will said, it's well worth getting DQ'ed for. That F7M2 LTD XX tipped 1"? You must be CRAZY! lol. That would do me good enough as a hockey stick.
