Great irons! My favorite set of GI irons I have played to date. Love the line up of putters too. Solid looking bag my friend.

[theothertwo]

Nice! V Steel and TM 200 - classics.

[minimal45]

its a great set!

[nitram]

You did well. Nothing better than the V-Steel and the Arnie.

[Big L]

Thanks for the comments guys, I love my 3 & 5 wood, probably my best clubs. If I could manage to not chunk my irons for an entire round, I'd be in good shape

The shape was what caught my eye when I found it off the used rack at Golf Galaxy. My only complaint has been the adjustable weights occasionally getting loose during a round. There not falling out, but they're loose enough where I can hear them in the swing

[mdb0103]

Hmm, that's odd. I've never heard of that nor did I have that problem. Do you have the wrench?

[TMC3]

Where do you play in Midlo have some family up there and can never find a decent place to play.

[LBlack14]

Yo L, call Taylormade about those weights, they may replace or repair it for you.

[Newbs24]

Nice bag. Props to you on being a teacher, Keep up the good work

[mat562]

Nice kit.

It's good to see that all genres of putters are well represented, and I particularly like those fairway woods. The V Steels are cracking bats and that old 200 Series, in particular, is a little gem of a club. And a Cleveland wedge (or two) will never let you down, either.

[GBgolfcoach]

I understand golf on a teacher's budget. I have the same R7 TP irons...love them but had them bent 2 * strong. Great bag.

[Sean2]

Great job Big L. Very nice set up. :-)

[dale4ace]

don't think they're tp's...may just be normal r7's if i'm not mistaken

but yah i have r7 tp's tooo , nice sticks for sure

[Big L]

CBlack14 and MDB0103- Thanks! I'll look into calling TM. It's only the heavy weight that's doing it. I found putting the weight in the neutral position has helped a little, but it still starts up every now and then, nothing huge, just a small little annoyance

MAT562- Thank you for the complement. I've only been playing for around 3-4 years, but I already know I'm going to be fickle with putters, so having one of every different style will at least keep my options open. I always liked Calc's approach, put it in the bag and if it looks right, keep her in there. Next up on the list will be a flow neck or two.

TMC3- The main course I play at is Mill Quarter, about 20 minutes outside of Midlothian. Its a nice, simple little track and also the home course of the school team I help coach. A gem of a course is the Manor Resort out in Farmville, which is 45 minutes west. Crushed grass fairways, slick greens, a challenging layout, and a pretty cheap rate considering what you are getting. Independence is a nice track as well, I've only played there par 3 short course but if that's a sign of what the real course is like, you should be very happy. Its also home of the Virginia state golf Association

And yes, they are just the plain R7s, no TPs or players irons till I'm breaking 80 on a consistent basis

[johnny5gti]

Nice bag..and thanks for helping invest in our future!!

[TMC3]

Thanks man, I think im going to try to play Mill Quarter over break if the snow melts. The Manor Resort looks awesome and they have very reasonable rates, Ill have to play it sometime.

Nice bag the TMaG 200 is a classic, and the putters are great as well. Hw do you find the Cleveland compared to more expensive models (it looks a million bucks though)?

I have an ex-rental Rossa Spider Vicino and the torque wrench won't lock one of the weights so whether the head is striped on the wrench or the weight I don't know.

[Big L]

Chip75- The look was the main reason why I bought it. I had wanted a black Anser style putter for a while, but I didn't want one with an insert. Unfortunately, options were limited and expensive till this came out. The milled face has a great feel and I've been very happy with it. Its been in the bag since I got it.

TMC3- Hope you enjoy the course. Like I said earlier, its a nice simple no frills track, but its got some challenging holes as well. My only tip is this- your putts will break only half what you think it will

[Big L]

Forgot to mention that the Golf Pride grip didn't come with the Cleveland. They come with a Ping Blackout style that simply says Cleveland. Its not a bad grip, I just wanted something closer to the baby T on my Cameron

Glad to hear it about the Cleveland, they've got some great looking putters at great prices. I'm not an insert fan either I like a loud 'click' when putting and some insets sound a bit like dull.
