Adam

Nice job as usual, it looks like you had a good time up there.  I've heard their Brats and beer are exquisite. Feel free to share anything else you have, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.

Thanx

Adam. once again the best pics on the net, no wonder I love this site!!!!!!

[InTheHole!]

Did anyone see the 905R driver, noticed that the sole p[lug for acoustics is set further back from the face.....

[plus1]

905 r looks awesome! absolutely cracker pics there adam...great job!

also see the 695 cbs and what i think where the 695 mbs! ooo yum!

you must have had a field day.....i would have felt like a 5 year old in a candy store!

[Big-Wiesy]

Great job Adam! Thats the best pic of the 905R ever! Thanks a lot!

[Riuzzi]

Where's that "we're not worthy" smiley when you need it!! Amazing pics Adam Is the 905R in Elk's bag?? Pretty interesting if it is, cause he's been playing the G2 for quite a while now...

Thanks Adam!! Keep this up and you'll end up with a Fuji in your putter

[amajeski]

Glad everyone is enjoying the pics again because I sure enjoyed taking them.  This is the first time I've lived in a location that put me less than a 3 hours drive to two tour events and it's been alot of fun taking advantage.  

On to what I saw...

Elkington had the 905R in the bag and his caddy said he had been playing it for about a week or so.  Prior to that he was playing the G2 due to breaking the shaft of whatever driver he had before that.  It's a great looking stick and I don't believe it had a composite crown...  but the caddy wasn't too excited about me rummaging through Elk's bag so I didn't get a chance to get a really good look.  Once I put the camera down though, he was a good guy to talk to.  Also, Elk's irons are a model from about 1986 and the caddy claimed they had been rechromed "several" times.

Guerin Rife makes some fantastic putters and a few pros are starting to notice.  Chad Cambel walked away with a pair he was feeling good with, as did Steve Pate...  and this was just what I saw while I was near the bag.  I would definately keep an eye out for what Guerin is doing over the next couple of years because I think it promises to be good...  There is a little more I may add to this in another thread...  hopefully...  

Cory Pavin is even smaller in person that I thought he would be, but he's not as short a hitter as I expected.  His swing was solid and smooth and produced irons that flew on a flat, controlled trajectory.  He worked it either way with ease and it was clear why he hangs around on tour year after year.  His driver flew much higher than I expected - not high high, but it got up good and flat and carried nice.  They were going about 240-250 on the fly and rolling out a touch.

Bobby Grace was on site and to be honest I didn't know who he was till it was too late.  He was working with Fred Funk - who had the British open Taylor Made bag in play - on getting his GT MOI to the weight he desired.  Another Mac van tec made a couple trips back and fourth and it appeared that they had come to a resolution.  Funk also picked up a Guerin Rife 2 Bar during the tinkering and rolled a few, but I'm not sure he took one home.  

That's about all I got off the top of my head.  Tuesday at the GMO wasn't quite as exciting as the Deere (for you guys anyway   ), but I'm glad you are enjoying the pictures.  Keep the Q's comming and I'll do what I can in answering them.

Great pics Adam. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Those "Feel" blades in James Driscolls bag look gorgeous. Does anyone know their homepage so I can have a closer look at them?

Thanks,
TS

[JHR]

Great pic's. Thanks.

[123fore]

Very nice once again. Thanks for the effort to share those.

Anyone have an idea on that Cleveland iron close-up? TA???

-Ben

[pga_apprentice]

Amazing shots, Adam!  Thanks for the work.  

[WhiteStake]

Great pictures Adam. I'm going to try to go to Brown Deer tomorrow (thursday).   One of the Taylor Made bags in your portfolio has the old 360 irons in it; is that Perry's bag? I've read he's playing the TP's, but I know he played those 360's for a long time. Thanks for helping to make this a great site!

After looking at them again, they be forged 300's.

[pitbull808]

Great job again Adam! Thank you!

[MrParr1Noid]

It's quite apparent that I haven't been keeping up with the new clubs and such but could someone tell me what those cb Titleist irons that Arron Oberholser has in his bag.  At first I thought they were the 704's but I didn't think they had that extra scallop out of the inset weighting in the cavity.

Anyone out there to set me straight?

The other request is what are the Nike irons with the deep cavity design, similar to the old Maxfli Revolution cb's.

Thanx

I also saw that. Very unique cavity, w/o the micro inserts. TA3 mc??? JC will know. He probably has a few sets tucked away in the basement and doesnt even know it.

[Goose]

Boy I wish, but unfortunately no.  I'm doing an internship near Madison Wisconsin this summer and it put me at a 3 hour drive to the John Deere and a 2 hour drive to the GMO.  Needless to say, I have enjoyed the opportunity to get to two events this year and I'm also glad that the membership has enjoyed the pics.  Now for the rest of the year we need someone else to step up big and carry the torch    

[Johann]

Thank you for the fantastic pics.

Did anyone notice the Bettinardi / BenHogan B60 style putters in black and chrome in the pictures?

Are these tour only or will they be available to the public??
I wonder if they have an insert as many Bettinardi's do come with copper inserts. Though the front looks thin so probably no insert!
Anyone have some information on these?

I really love the Ping B60 style, a Bettinardi B60 would be great!

Thanks
Johann

[simmoboy]

the 905r looks great with the sound plug away from the face.

They're called 695cb's and are probably gonna be released next spring. They're replacing the 690.cb's. 695mb's are also coming out

Regarding the Nike's, are these the ones you're talking about??



They're a full cavity prototype...Johnny on here has a 2 iron I believe

[mat562]

Great pics!

those irons of Elk's make me feel a bit better about some of the beat-up old Mizunos I've used in the past!

[zojo]

wow adam, sweet pics again. you must have alot of time on your hands Those 695.cb pics and those nike cb's are pretty sweet. Lots of great pics that you can only see here on golfwrx!

[tncup]

Really good pics, Adam, thanks. I love the one of, I believe, DeMarco, and the late hand release. that is a great pic of a great position. he would probably like to have that one.

[MrParr1Noid]

Riuzzi

Thank You kindly, those are exactly both the sets of irons I was referring to.  I was standing next to that guy doing the photo shoot but he didn't even clue me in to what he was doing nor to what he was taking pictures of.

Sometime the photographer should show you all the leg he got pics of, as a matter of fact, when he was getting photo shots of equipment, I thought he was looking for leg.  Heck, with that telephoto lens you don't know what he's looking at half the time.

[TM golf guy]

Adam those pics are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Their website is www.feelwedges.com.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw those clubs in his bag. When I was at GCE a few years back we did some work with Dr. Miller. He is a character, but you've got to hand it to him because he's managed to stay around for quite a while. His wedges have had some success of the LPGA tour, but to see the irons in a PGA tour players bag is quite a sight.....
