went today and snagged this guy..except in 8.5 loft and with the VooDoo shaft.



and this guy.



I just went to the range to hit balls and well...I decided it was time to retire my beat up R5 and my 13 year old original Ping B60 IsoForce putter.

I <3 my R5 to this day. Bought it used for $60 and has probably been the best driver I've had out of all 3 that I've owned :chuckles:

Civic2Scooby

oh I hearted my R5, but it was damaged over the winter during a storage accident, put a ding in the face.

bert has like 10 of those h:

<3 ping ... still rockin my ping putter from the 70's just put a new grip on it last year

KirkLS

Doh. Mine is a 9.5 degree with a stiff Taylormade shaft. Love it. Sets up nice to my eye and I hit it well. I have an R7 also with the weight kit and everything but I just cant hit it. Still sits in the garage

Civic2Scooby

yeah I had an R5 8.5 with the NV X-flex shaft and I loved it. Well the new 909 is available with the VooDoo shaft which is the new version of the NV shaft. So I was dicking around at the range and decided to hit it...well it was love at first swing. The feel is beautiful and the control is insane. I decided to just pull the trigger. Hit about 100 balls with it and it was spot on.

I've never hit Titleist products well. They're geared more towards better players and I just dont hit them well. I had a Titleist steel shaft 3 wood that I hit well for a while. Ended up benching it and then selling it shortly after buying my R5. Put the net cost of my R5 at 20 bucks

Civic2Scooby

yeah, My 3 wood is also titleist. I will agree most of their products are intended for low handicappers though so I wouldn't recommend them to the every now and again player. I am also getting custom fitted for titleist forged irons come spring time. I always loved titleist products, but could never afford them...well now I can, so I am going to do it right this time h:

KirkLS

Exactly. I didnt hit them well even when I was a single digit handicapper. I'm like an 11 now. Have Taylormade driver and fairway woods and Ping i3 irons. I may be hitting up Brett for irons this year though :rick:

Civic2Scooby

all my woods are titleist and my irons are Mizuno MP-32. I went forged blades last season and I won't ever look back. They are obviously not forgiving like a cavity back, but the workability has been well worth the trade off for me.
