Pondering buying a dozen Nike Tour Rzn balls. I just need to figure which version is the closest to what the *proto were.

I am very, very close to placing a custom order for some J15 DF's with Steelfiber i95's. :drool: However, I've got myself into a bit of a dilemma. Got a reco on a good club builder to quote them after I got a fitting that quoted me some absurdly expensive clubs (most of you probably read that thread), and he gave me what I feel based on research is quite a fair price, especially considering the pricy shafts, spining, swingweighting, etc. that he's going to do at no extra charge. Basically it actually costs less than ordering direct from Bridgestone, and I've heard his build quality is excellent.
However, I didn't know about Discount Dan's at this point, so after I heard about them on here, for S's and G's I asked for a quote from them...and lo and behold, it's another $100 less. I'm very tempted to buy from them, but I kinda feel bad after corresponding a bunch with the builder, plus I have a feeling his tolerances will be tighter. What would you guys do in this instance?

Aerotech steelfiber have very good radial consistency. Spinning is not needed and even puring benefits will probably marginal. What is key IMO is proper swing weighting and sometimes it's hard with aerotech. For that reason I'd go for the builder and spend the extra 100.I am very, very close to placing a custom order for some J15 DF's with Steelfiber i95's. :drool: However, I've got myself into a bit of a dilemma.

Finding that my iron "homer" is clashing... W/S F5s and C200s, and Ping G series. Oh, and my constant "want" for a set of FG Tour 100s.
Also really want to try a driver that: Sounds like the D200, has the forgiveness of a D200, has at least the same kind of adjustability, but has a bit less spin (so I can get the loft up a bit more).

Have you spent much time with the G30? I don't think you're going to match the sound, but you're going to get some options with spin between the regular G30 and the LS Tec, both I could easily game without putting much thought into it. The Tour shaft they had included made for a great pairing as well but some may lean towards a higher launching offering to get that extra oomph.
Told ya the c200 were legitSo, hit a number of irons after work, today, and results were good, and somewhat surprising. I've never been one to be put off by a chunkier looking iron, so keep that in mind. CF16s (low to mid launch; low spinning for me; Look good), G irons (Mid-high launch, but didn't care for the sound. Just didn't "grab" me.), W/S F5 irons (mid launch. Performed fine. Very nice looks, and sounded pretty good), W/S C200 (reviews on THP seem to be spot on. Solid upgrade over the C100, in looks, performance, and sound), and the 716 AP1s (Were completely on par with the C200s, but had better distance dispersion and a little better spin into landing).
From that group, I'd quickly get down to the C200 and AP1, strictly on performance (looks of the F5s get them honorable mention). Surprised I liked the AP1s so much. Some clarification on the iron ponder, with a new leader.
You're spot on with that suggestion and thoughts on the LS Tec. I have 2 drivers in the "stable". The D200, and a G30 LS Tec, and perfectly happy to game either one, on any given day. I'm probably just looking for that holy grail of drivers that gives me the sound I'd like, in addition to the performance/forgiveness. I'm greedy that way, sometimes.

Can't decide which midsize orange grips to slap on the king Forged tec irons. Lamkin i-line and pure DTX are the front runners
iLine.
Pure grips though, to me, are shat.

want to start putting grips on by air, mostly putters, not sure if I should build my own or get one like the pure grip gun.
thoughts?
Good point.I use a Pure Grip gun, but only because I have one.
I do not use their grips.

Just throwing it out there. But I have a Dinero listed in the MP that we can work something out on.The Sub 30 (Type 10 and 30). I have a Milled Series 4 and the Sub 30 Type 40 already. Need to add to the collection, and that insert is awesome. I wonder if that's the insert Cleveland used in their Smart Square and Classic Collection Insert lines.
just put the needle right in the top grip hole?The gun makes it easier for the smaller grips. If the grip is bigger than the 2.0 or a weird shape like Garsen then I just use the needle in the below photo, second from left.
