For all you guys looking to join the #HitSquad

A couple of weeks ago, Fox announcer Shane Bacon posted this on Twitter: So I replied by posting the video (above) of Kirke hitting his new driver in the snow (and made it clear that the video had been filmed earlier). Shane picked Kirke to receive a hat. It arrived today, and I hadn't told Kirke about it. So here's the video of him opening it and saying thanks to Shane for the gift.

Made the first ace at our Top Golf swing suite at the office. Hole 11 at Pebble Beach with a ladies six iron. One bounce and in it went. I am selling my entire bag and switching to ladies clubs. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Look who got a new hat...

@Bucky - I knew this would come for you! Great work and yeah it really is nuts - I was on the range today at my club and one of our mini tour players was with me - I was hitting driver all around the flag, some just short, some bounding past, that I measured at 242. He couldn't believe it - I was pretty close to where he was hitting his fairway wood (he's a notoriously short hitter - he drives it around 270). He has the SuperSpeed sticks but hasn't really done the program in earnest - he's rethinking that. This guy has some game - he qualified to participate in Monday qualifying for PGA events this year - (I didn't realize you have to do that but apparently there's a qualifying event for that)

I've been meaning to retest my driver swing speed ever since I saw a 1 mph drop from Level 1 to the end of Level 2. Unfortunately rain, snow, ice, and temperatures colder than Antartica have prevented me from going outside. My basement ceiling is tall enough to swing a driver but not quite big enough to hit real golf balls. I also don't have a net (ricochet city! ). I tried swinging with no target but received mixed results so I found a small piece of foam to use. It's still not a perfect testing environment but it got the job done. The results: I finally saw a 2nd bump and my average driver swing speed has increased to 115mph. That's a 3.6% jump from my Level 1 speed and a total speed increase of 10.6% from Day 1!!! That's nuts. Here's my beautiful foam target with the final driver speed this morning.

Oh yes

Dammmmit STUD you "made me" spend money!

No prototypes as far as irons go...whatever you are hitting there is currently available to the public

DawgDaddy is coming up today and I'm looking forward to seeing my old buddy with these irons in tow. I might even take a couple whacks with these bad boys

I put in "(mostly)" because she is now playing men's irons... TaylorMade Burner XD in senior flex. She did make an ace at the driving range in Tucson a few years ago, but i told her that doesn't count.

Thanks for the pics. The top line shots from left to right are, 699, 639, AP1, and Z585. Those 639's are nice!

Sneds should get like 4 bonus points for hitting it off the rocks and still making birdie on 18.

Oh man. Shouldn’t have clicked on the website haha. Wedges look fantastic! And the staff bag.....ooooh man haha. Really interested to see how they perform! Also hats off for Sub70 to pop in and offer feedback! Always fun to see companies post and interact! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I will be making the 2:45 drive to Sycamore on the 26th. I scheduled a fitting with them so I will get on here and give you guys my uneducated 2 cents worth. I’m sure another member on here will be able to chime in on them as well as he will be coming along with me. He’s a much better player than I am so you can hear what a 22 handicap has to say about them and what a +3 handicap has to say about them. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Weather don’t know what to do around here. 72 yesterday’s high and 30 today. 18 this morning was a slap in the face. Gotta love working outside!! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

We have a northwest wind so the 50s are going and the 30s are coming back

Yea he really twisted your arm lol

Scout, ummm, "helping" me organize our golf gear before a recent trip... (..dog is thinking: ..if I block him from packing then he can't leave me again...)

Okay here’s a no no confession. I just finished a workout which means back to back days. If I hadn’t I would only have two in this week with one being the ASD yesterday. Since the ASD 2 that I’m doing is lighter than normal I thought it worth the experiment. Here’s what I learned: It took much longer to warm up! I was very slow through the standing swings - so much so I almost shut down. Once I got warm I hit normal numbers through kneeling and the double step drills even posting my fastest ever dominant red club swing - 105! (I’m not doing the full updates anymore as those ended with the stage 2 review but I’m still filling out the spread sheet for Daisy) I was total spent going into the last three swings and the best speed that I could muster there was considerably off - 108 when I will often have 3 swings over 110 on that round. All in all I wouldn’t make this a habit but also wouldn’t be afraid to do it again if need be. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow but I’m in reasonably good shape and suspect my body tolerated the work out fine. I’m playing tomorrow and work from 730 AM to 530 Sunday afternoon. That will be a demanding day and I’m not seeing a workout at the end of it. I’m seeing a beer, a lazy boy and a recorded golf tournament. :) Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Snagged up a #Hitsquad tee from the MGS store just now... https://store.mygolfspy.com/products/hitsquad-black-tee

Wow I don’t know how I have missed this thread. Traveling will do that to you. I will be@GolfSub70 on Tuesday. I can’t wait. More details so stay tuned! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Obviously she needs men's clubs...

Hard to complain about the weather, but the locals were bundled up pretty good!

Not a bad way to kill some time in Phoenix waiting for my flight...

Already a member but I do love the shirt!

Yes it was Brandon. He’s the only fitter at nighthawk and is really good. Also doesn’t push one brand over others

That's going to look fantastic with the DLC finish. I think once my head comes back, I'm going to throw on a black putter shaft and black grip too. Now I just gotta wait...

Sluggo I am as well as I have been drooling over them since I first set my eyes on the website. The 26th cannot get here soon enough. Their wedges look amazing as well and I’m definitely in the market for a new set. So far the front runner is the Ping Glide 2.0 stealth. The RTX 4s were good but the heavier head of the stealths are what set them apart from the pack. I currently have some Vokeys but it’s time for a change to something that fits me not what I was told I should buy without doing my research and testing other equipment. Lesson learned!

Very cool DP, looking forward to hearing how it all goes. I’m very curious how the CB’s feel on a good whack.. have fun!

Wife's not feeling well, so I have a friend in the office this morning.

Agree good buddy. I’m often wondering if they are just pushing protein powder and supplements on me for more profits. At our age I need to consider safe vs fast. Nothing wrong with chicken that is for sure

Forgot to post this but our new puppy, Rudy!

My putter cover came in today and it looks sharp! Thanks again to the folks at the MGS Store for sending this as a replacement for the tour towel. You guys are awesome! @Ping Apologist #9 I wish they would get that Heather hat back in, too. I like the other ones, but that one really pops. Hopefully once the release of new clubs dies down, we'll see some products restocked. I will still buy the towel once it's back in. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Finally cut bait with my hybrid and replaced it with an 18* Callaway X utility prototype. I really tried to like the Epic hybrid and after three shaft changes we still just don't get along all that well. So now I guess I will have two utility irons in the bag moving forward. This will officially set the 2019 bag and give me what I am looking for off the tee and in the wind.

I hit a few shots today with DawgDaddy's Big Bertha 2019 irons and was pleasantly surprised. More coming soon so stay tuned!

HOLY COW!!! My nobodys are actually doing well. One is T1, and another was but has since made 5 bogeys. Anyway, this is going to be my only decent week of the year so I am soaking it in. Sent from my SM-T580 using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Welcome from the frozen snow-laden Washington State! Glad you joined us.

I was just getting ready to add that. The other thing is.... You make your own luck. One of the reasons the AFC East is so bad is the Patriots have the other teams turning themselves upside down trying to catch them. The AFC East is weak because the Patriots have the other teams spinning in circles. They've earned it.

For anyone that's interested, a really solid podcast with our owner got published today...the link is https://pluggedingolf.com/podcast-episode-40-jason-hiland-sub-70-golf/

Hah, thank you. That's amazing that you've held onto the PE2's for that long! Based on the G400 fitting I would probably recommend the 699s or possibly the 739s. Both offer a little more forgiveness and great ball speed. The 699s are the hollow bodied gel injected heads. I personally play the 639 CBs but the 699s are really, really fun to hit. The best person to ask would probably be our owner Jason though...he's great to work with and is more in tune with the fitting process than I am. You can always contact him at [email protected] and I'm sure he'll respond asap. We do have a 60 day guarantee so if you order a set and they don't work out, you just send them back and get refunded or we can make adjustments and get them back to you.

I had wanted to get by the booth at the PGA Show and never made it. I was intriqued as well. I don't know if GS_Barba made it or not. I know he intended to as well.

Just got in my "proper" fog lights for my truck.

I really like the pistol grip. Nestled in the back of the pinky and meat of the palm nicely. Feels secure while Maintaining light grip pressure Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Well, it can go one of two ways. Either your putting is going be sh*t, or it's going be the sh*t.

I picked up the Tommy Armour Impact No.3 putter yesterday. I have to say that I was skeptical of the comparison that it had gotten to much more expensive putters that are currently on the market. I had been playing a cheap Wilson putter for the last 9 years, so I was due for an upgrade. The no.3 is a GREAT putter! I took it to the practice green at my course and put it through the paces. It just flat out does what I expect it to do. My lag putts were spot on and I was making more from close range. I really hope this is a sign than this next season will be a breakthrough year.

I was playing the Bridgestone e6 but they changed them up on me and came out with two different models the e6soft and e6speed. So, they really forced my hand in finding which one I like and it turns out that they lost me instead. I tested all of the models from Vice, Snell MTBs, Cut, Srixon, Bridgestone, Kirkland, Callaway and of course Titleist (to include the 2019 prototypes). If you are interested, I added a write-up on the Cut models in one of the testing sections titled: Cut Golf Co. Ball Review (UN-official). Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

It occurs to me that I can actually contribute to this thread. I can tell you unequivocally that the steak bomb / pizza / Buffalo wings / onion rings / Guinness Stout diet didn't work for me. Doesn't mean you can't try it, though.

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the pharmacist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone." Immediately, the husband drove down town to confront the chemist, and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the chemist told him, "Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I'd locked the house with both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys." "Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire." "When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, all the time the darn phone was ringing." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of coins against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the coins and the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke." "Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer." "And believe me Mr., as God is my witness, all I did was tell her."
