Hey tommy nice stuff! I love the Nome and was in a store in the spring and spent a lot of time going back and forth between it and the Ping Craz-E. I ended up with the Craz-E because i loved the feel of the Nickle insert and it was about 120 less than the nome. Now, I used to use a YES! tracy, a face balanced blade and i loved the roll off the c-groove face. I love the MOI of the ping though. So I am wondering if you could give your thoughts on the pro's and con's for the Yes over the Ping. I haven't even been able to roll the sandy because my local store only has it available in long/belly versions for whatever reason.

Great looking setup. I like what you have done with the irons.

Which club do you normally drop to get to 14?

The Ping i love. It's got a great firm but not hard feel and off center hits still make the same distance which is great for me. I've holed puts i thought wouldnt get anywhere as i hit them off the toe. I like the line on top too and it really suits my eye.

The yes! sandy is much lighter and smaller. I only bought the yes as i didnt want to take the ping out in the winter. However im really liking the sandy. I might be me, i think the sandy puts more roll on the ball and seems to hold it's line for firmly. For £100 its a great putter than isnt going anywhere.

The ping is much nicer on fast greens where i need a bit more touch and feel

Normally the hybrid. I'm not a big hybrid person and only take it out when the weather is bad and the course plays longer.

Love the Orange and White Headcover...Go Vols

[tommy89]

What's vols?

[prsgtrman]

those irons are pretty

[tommy89]

Thanks

[niekgolf4]

how did you remove the painfill on the vr pro irons? i also play them and would like to change the color. they look really awesome!!!

[tommy89]

I used a paint stripper gel. I had to do the process a few times to get rid of it all. On the pocket cavities i also sanded off the lacquer to give them a satin finish. Don't rush it as it'll take a while and will be worth it.

Cheers

University of Tennesee Volunteers, nicknamed the "Vols" ... they're colors are similar to your headcover.

[schneidm10]

Where did you get those headcovers? Like the irons too.

[scratchswinger]

Sweet setup for sure!!! I don't envy the handwarmers

[tommy89]

Headcovers are from gamolagolf.co.uk I bought a few spares as they were in the sale


Cheers scratch swinger. Tell me about it. It's getting really cold now. Bring back summer

Pics to follow in a bit

[Kadin 25]

Nice...love the hand warmer....look into getting a zippo hand warmer if you play a lot of cold weather golf. You can find em on the bay for like $10-$12.

[tommy89]

Yes I've seen those. How do they work? These ones do the job for £1. I don't plan on playing any golf in the cold and wet. That doesn't happen overhere though.
