606 Cool Wall

Could be a good idea to create a 606 cool wall, with links to photo's of some must have, wish list, exotic great looking equipment. It may be kit that you've got or something you wished you had, or even something new to market that makes you drool.

This is my flat stick and the best putter I've ever used for feel and looks. The photo doesn't do it justice and i don't think they're producing this any more. Mine is a Ltd edition prototype.

At the end of the day it should be a consensus of opinion of what stays and goes from the cool wall

I'll find a way to get some sexy pics of my napa up for you doc... And mac cos I know it will make him drool in envy.

Was just about to suggest the Napa. Would be at the top of my wishlist.

LJ - did you get yours on the first release, recent release or somewhere in between?

It's a very early one Harrison.

But not in the black. It's a bronze one (not one of the copper releases) but has the old markings whilst looking similar to the oilcan finish (although its not).

It's apparently a very very rare one and the estimate I got on it from the scotty people was ridiculous!

The Mizuno TP9 a classic that for me should be on any cool wall, these are currently going for £83 on golf bidder,

I still have a set and used them in winter when my other bats were stolen, still amazing to use and drool over

I see your TP-9 irons and raise you a set of Titleist 681 'T' stamped irons in 2 - PW. 8)

Mav the link doesn't work for me? by the way did you get the PM I sent you yesterday, don't know if it works

I wonder if Hobo can create a sticky cool wall of some description

I have TP9 1 iron, 3-SW all with white grips. The 1 iron to this day lives in the car for windy days

Ah yes... but the T irons are the replica set that Tiger used to win 4 majors in a row... very nice looking irons.

Pah who cares about tiger replicas, TP's as used by Faldo to win 3 majors, an Englishman winner, oh and they've been used in fron tof the great man himself during the faldo series..........

Apologies Doc, just seen and responded to

I second the TP9's - keep my set for winter practice when I feel like I need to get my ball striking better.

Callaway Great Big Bertha Driver would be also there for me. First mass released Titanium Driver and technologically revolutionised the game. Maybe more iconic than cool.

Ping Eye 2 irons would also make the list for me but again as an iconic club.

As far as the cool wall I would definitely put up the Ram Watson Cobalt wedges. Still go for a song on the bay...

I thought Faldo was a TP19 user though?

I did have one of those in a 1 iron... that was great fun to thin.

If your looking for Iconic clubs to add to the cool wall, I think you would have to look at adding the TItleist DCI's from the mid/late 90's
they got a whole breed of players to move from blades to cavity.

As for other clubs what about the original Taylor MAde Rescue, look at the Hybrid market that has spawned

Officially he was, but if you go back and look at the footage, and what he actually had in the bag, the 9's were in there

Iconic clubs are not always the most attractive.

The original Ping Karsten irons were a bloody disgrace for example!

How about this though.

The very first Ping putter. That caused a revolution in putter design. More so with the anser.

If I was going to change my clubs and sod the expense, then these babies would be the ones for me http://www.pureforged.co.uk/miura-tournament-blade----ask-for-price-656-p.asp

have to ring for a price so suspect there over £400 :606laugh: But unusual, rare and not mass produced like the kit the rest of you chavs use

If your looking for something thats cool and unique.... then i have two words for you all....

Scratch Golf

Miura also do a lot of forging for the Taylor Made Tour Players. Had a set of TM irons about 5 years ago that were Miura forged and they were so so soft.

How about this...

Can anyone think of a way of sorting this cool wall properly, otherwise its in danger of being swamped with posts. It would be an idea for stuff that we agree should be in, being lifted and placed on the wall and leaving a thread for the posts? Any ideas, or should we just leave it as it is.

I think the rule has to be:

You or someone you know must own the item you want to stick in the cool wall.
It must not be anything with a hickory shaft in it.

I second the motion

Just had an email confirming that my new Bettinardi BB25 is on it's way to me. Attached a link from a yank forum from a guy showing photo's of his stick: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/340824-my-new-bettinardi-bb25/

Gotta tell you doc I don't like that.

It's too square in the head and I don't like the face on bettinardi putters. Never have liked that honeycomb finish.

I think it's one for the rejects bin.

Plus... It is identical to the cameron circa 62 number 2 I gave away to a friend not long ago... so it's canned for reasons of being a counterfeit.

Have to say i'd allow that putter in as cool, so we have a duspute here on the cool wall already

With the bonus that the putter in question belongs to my uncle... so it meets the criteria.

As for the bettinardi. I still say no... It's not that cool. Unlike my Newport Beach. That's very cool due to the pink flowery grip.

So we have a 50/50 split on the BB25, I'm neutral of course, so we need someone to make a judgment as to it being in or out. Wheres the right reverend D4S, or has anyone else got a view?

If we're going to commit to a cool wall properly then surely we should have all four categories - Seriously uncool, uncool, cool and sub zero.

I'd put the napa in sub zero and anything with changeable weights into the seriously uncool...

It's just too similar to this Doc

I'd also say the original nike blades are very cool.

Just a lump of metal, all shiny and sexy, with a number and a swoosh. None of this fancy graphics or colours. It shouted cool.

mmmmmmmmmm a thing of beauty, click the image - my set are no.216 of 250 -

Agree that the nike blades are very cool. Maybe we should impose some sort of rule whereby that any club with more than 2 coloured paints should automatically be exempt from cool or sub zero. I would say one colour but sometimes the numbers have white paint on them...

Could also scrap the "seriously uncool" category and change it for iconic. The Cleveland 588's and Titleist Vokeys don't strike me as cool but are certainly iconic...

Not bad looking sticks Graeme, do you have problems with glare in bright sunlight? My bats are chrome bling and it gets me sometimes

Would have to say they can go on the cool wall nice set of bats those,

doc, they should come with a complimentary pair of oakleys.

Titleist Tour balata anyone?

drive4show wrote:Titleist Tour balata anyone?

I like how that comment ws followed by a smily face because you certainly could make those balls smile if not hit right...

Anyone remember the bridgestone Rextar i used that for years great ball, had more durability than the titleist balata offering and you could sure as hell get a lot more spin with that badboy too

Yes indeed I do Mav, as used by Sir Nick if I remember correctly? I actually preferred the Titleist Professional to the tour balata for the very reason you mention above, much more durable.

But in ball terms, the Tour balata is iconic.......along with the individually wrapped Dunlop 65's :love:

Cool or not cool?

Indeed Sir nick did play the rextar, it was a cracking ball the titleist profession was superb when realeased to the general public, not a fan of the Pro V though to high a spin rate.

LJ if you ever see someone with that bag, let me know I still have a rifle to use on people that use such things, also you may want to ask if his female playing companion is his mother or his sister! or one and the same!

If it doesn't belong to LJ, I wonder who it could possibly belong to then........... : birthday:

I have to say that the poor deranged individual that uses this bag has informed me that it has since been sent to the back of the garage where it shall remain until such time as it is needed to put a playing partner in hospital with severe stomach cramps due to excessive pointing and laughing.

OK, OK, I have two confessions to make.......

1) it was ME that USED to own said bag <hangsheadinshamesmiley>

2) however it is now owned by some poor unsuspecting mug in Norfolk courtesy of ebay :606laugh:

On the bright side, I bought it for £30 from Sports Direct, had 2 years of solid use out of it then flogged it on for £20 so all in all, bit of a result I'd say.

It's now been replaced with this little beauty

D4S hang yourhead in shame at that Dunlop bag, but good on ya for selling on at near full value.

As for the new bag very nice
