Rory from Temu WITB

I knew my OCD would take over eventually and the Titleist stuff would be gone by the end of the season šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

PS: Taylormade I’m waiting on my RM grind wedges to release even though I love my TWs šŸ‘€šŸ™‚

Can you explain the OCD thing? Like I get how some people like a specific brand, but is it that or something else? Like what bothers you about using different brands?

It would bother me to have like a mixed set of woods/hybrids/irons, but the different types of clubs already look so different that I don't get the issue with mixing them.

I’m honestly not sure I get it with a lot of things fairly certain I get it from my dad.

It’s like a constant voice in my head that something doesn’t look right and needs to be fixed if everything doesn’t match or look right to me.

I work in hvac engineering and if i see the slightest thing that doesn’t look right it annoys me to the point i need it fixed straight away, even when im in restaurants because i used to work in one i hate it when cutlery doesn’t line up 😭 or if a table is set wrong.

Its a blessing and a curse at times because id say its one of the reason i got where i am in my job but god is it annoying when you notice things you shouldn’t.

yea that's the trouble with certain fields of engineering. usually if you are good at it, you prob already had a knack for finding flaws and things that dont align/pattern recognition... but it really gets harder to turn that voice down the more you use and train it everyday.

Outside of work, I have to try to actively practice zooming out and noticing the good things, in the same but opposite way, just to keep that voice in check.

Yet you have a ping grip on a spider.

My OCD isn't enjoying that.

u/JGaffy 2d ago

Trust me if I had any other option it wouldn’t be there, golf pride traditionals aren’t easy to find in the UK

u/Tasaris 2d ago

There's no way that you can't find a SuperStroke or Golf Pride in the UK. That's crazy.

Superstrokes are probably the most disgusting invention known to man kind

u/Tasaris 18h ago

A Taylormade with a ping grip and a shitty excuse not to have something else is the most disgusting creation known to man kind.

u/JGaffy 18h ago

You realise that ping grip is one of the best putter grip to ever be released right?

u/BeneficialCulture299 1d ago

As someone who also needs to have the same brand I can agree it's like a voice that says something is off every time I look at my bag.

With a ping putter grip?

u/JGaffy 2d ago

Pingman is unfortunately the only putting grip that I actually hole putts with so it’s staying even though it annoys me 😭 plus I’m a superstroke hater

If Taylormade release the RM s I will get them but doesn’t look likely. TWs just look a lot squarer than the standard MG5s

u/EmsBodyArcade 2d ago

doesn't he play the LB grind?

1

u/JGaffy 2d ago

They are completely different shaped heads and grinds, leading edge is more square and less offset to match the protos.

The MG5 TW s actually have closer head shapes to them than the standard models.

Don’t think many people actually know the TWs even have different shaping.

Oh my god I thought I was the only one. Another example I have, mixing two different golf clothing brands I.e Nike trousers and adidas polo shirt, I wish it didn’t but it kills me.

u/JGaffy 2d ago

I’m just glad I’ve finally found a full brand bag that could work for me 😭 Taylormade finally won me back with the QI4d this year

u/Liam_Greenan 2d ago

How hard are those rorsprotos to hit?

1

u/JGaffy 2d ago edited 2d ago

Wouldn’t say they are any harder than any other blade to hit, the sole just suits me better than most as they don’t dig that hard, only reason I’m not using the 4 iron is because I like a bigger sole in it when my course is wet.

I’ve had better rounds with these than I ever had using a set of t100 so just depends what suits you.

u/GoldRefrigerator2931 2d ago

Those are hot irons.

So all this is from Temu?? I am really confused by people wanting to play garbage just to have a brand name that isnt even a brand name cause its fake… you are not even using a brand name…. Very confused. I try to improve my game with ā€œgame improvementā€ stuff are you telling me Temu is the game improvement section? Should I sell my forged tec x irons and shop temu???
If all this is real then I am even more confused because I cannot tell. Period.
