  1. I guess it’s not morning. But I had to share my interesting story. Today I got out to play since we got the day off. Everything was going well, shot a 15 over. But that is not the point of this. I had just finished the 17th hole of the round and started heading to the 18th tee. And something caught my eye on the ground. I was certain it was a statute of a bald eagle. I thought that was pretty cool until I got up closer and realized it was real. It also looked like something was wrong with its wing. I called the club house and let them know where the eagle was. I watched him for a good 5 minutes and he didn’t move a bit other than to blink at me. They contacted wildlife and got them out there, but I had already left by then as the course manager had taken over watching it. I hope it is ok or can at least be rehabbed.

  3. When I talked to Angelo last week he thought I was between a 2 dot and 3 dot. He suggested I wait for the intro of their "Try Before You Buy" program and get both to see which one works best. That program went online today and I just ordered both the 2 and the 3, and I have until April 15th to try both of them. In case you're not aware it's called their 'Demo' program.

  9. after replacing 2 sections of water line under the in laws home, I got a call from a friend who was stranded 5 hours away. His truck went into limp mode on the highway coming back home. Got it to a dealer who is fixing it under warranty, and will have it delivered to the dealer here when done (estimated next week ) so 9.5 hours on the road with nearly no breaks, and I'm wiped out. But that's what we do for friends. (He didn't have rental coverage and the dealer wasn't letting a loaner out for being so far away)

  15. Nice wedges. Let us know what you think once you've had a chance to use them. I bought a used combo set of Maltby irons (TS1/TS2) in February that are in excellent condition. Can't wait for the courses here to open in mid to late April so I can take them out for some rounds.

  16. The Fitting: The fitting started with talking with Jon and typical misses and that despite my recent trend being a left miss that my normal longer term miss is right. He also asked which shape I would prefer. My shot with the current shaft were inline with what I have been doing which has been a pull draw with occasional pull hook or over correction push. We then bounced around between 17Lo, 16Lo, 16Hi, and 15Hi in the Nitro range hitting a few then swapping and circling back to previous to verify results. He even through in the Ping G430 10K head at one point. Things where very close between the 15Hi and 16Hi. I had my fastest ball speed on any swing at 170 mph with the 16Hi but when going back and fourth between shafts the Nitro 15Hi was more consistent and still averaged 167 ball speed. Here are some screenshots from the Trackman report. Dispersion chart with all to see how it moved around with different shafts: Current Shaft: Fitted Shaft: Driver Dispersion of current and fitted: (Note: Green is current, red and purple are both fitting with different wight position) Also one note I got from Jon over and over especially with the driver was he kept telling me to give him everything I got and stop guiding it. He also noted that he thinks I will continue to raise my ball speed as confidence grows with it. Next as we where getting into the 5 wood we started talking about gaping which lead him to have me hit both my 4 hybrid and 4 iron to get distances. We found that my carry with 4 iron was 218, 4 hybrid was 225 and 5 wood was 251. This lead him to move to the 4 hybrid fit next instead of 5 wood with the goal of 240 carry. We tried both 15Lo and 14Lo and moved the loft sleeve down 1.5 degrees. He then added a half inch of length to the shaft in the 15Lo and got 238 carry. Current Hybrid: Fitted Hybrid: (Note he mislabeled the shaft the first time so this is split into 2) Hybrid Dispersion: (Note he mislabeled the shaft the first time so this is split into 2) At this point having got to know me and looking for 260 he gave me a 15Lo and first swing was 259.2 carry. I hit 5 shots total with the carry average being 259.2 with the longest being 265 when I hooked it and 250 when trying to hit a high cut which is exactly what I am looking for. A note on the 5 wood is I still was favoring a pull with it but Jon is having TPT send him the shafts directly so he can build them and it going to put the flat Callaway adapter in it as he says TPT cannot get these adapters themselves. He also slid one on a shaft really quick so I could address it and make sure it looks good and not to flat. I also play my 5 wood at 42 inches and was having to choke down a bit on the test shafts so in this process he is also going to tip the shaft a half inch. 5 Wood Comparison: (note: blue current and green fitted) 5 Wood dispersion: Fitting TLDR: The fitting was through hitting some shafts multiple times to confirm result. Even got into gapping which had us increase both 4 hybrid and 5 wood carry distances. Final fitted shafts, Driver = Nitro 15Hi, 5 wood = Power 15Lo, 4 hybrid = Power 15Lo.

  20. Lately my swing has either modeled tin cup with the chili peppers Or dwarf golf I’d like it to be like 2000’s Tiger, and tried to emulate his. But alas I’m old and broken now.

  22. @Hoyoymac is 100% correct. While going through the process it’s tough to realize what's going on while it’s happening to you, but watching others go through the process is very enlightening. I’ve already given my opinion of the process, so other than to say how great it was to meet everyone, I’ll leave it at that. Also, for the record, @ZackS had the putter when I left so if it’s missing it wasn’t me.

  24. Went to the range today after work with my Garmin R10 in tow. There was a kids group there from a local private school, so space at the range was limited, but I managed to squeeze in and set up the monitor. I was largely unhappy with my contact with any club, and I hit several. The driver was particularly bad, and I knocked the rubber tee on the mats out of commission by breaking off a wooden tee inside which I could not pry out. That ended my session with the driver, and I returned to irons and then wedges. I found direction today was not very accurate on the monitor; pulls and draws showed up as pushes or fades, although a hook wind might account for some of that. Distances seemed to be okay, though, and I tried to dial in distances with my 54-degree and 64-degree wedges at the end of the session. One of my lob wedges flew 52 yards; I didn't think that was possible with a 64-degree, but it was in the general direction of a target green that was 65 yards out and 52 looked correct. That was one of the shots that had a baby draw but the monitor said was a 2-degree push to the right. Best shot I hit today was a draw with my 7-wood, 76 mph clubhead speed, 168 yards. I didn't think I could hit the 7 almost 170, but it felt good off the face. Best clubhead speed with the big dog was also 76, but it might have landed in someone's back yard on the course. I think I need to get back out on the course and get off the range. Hopefully will be able to do that Wednesday.

  25. @CB Lobo 4 Life - I mean, hard to complain TOO much about tying two other incredible rounds by four other golfers, but..DAMMMMMMMMMIT!!!!!! That 42-foot lip-out for birdie hurts just THAT much more right about now. Lol. Congrats to those (cheaters) who won, and we'll see you all out there next year!

  27. The other nice thing with these clubs are the lofts are basically the same as my Srixons so the new wedges will blend perfectly.

  28. There were Leprechauns teeing off during my putting practice yesterday and nobody said a thing to those guys chasing gold around with a Rainbow I think it is definitely time and place as previously mentioned. But, I still like to look nice wherever I go so I'm still in the "I wear what I like, you do the same" category.

  30. My new sand wedge from Sub 70 arrived while I was at n Las Vegas, thankfully my Father lives just down the street and was able to grab it for me until I arrived back at home. Sub 70 JB Forged Full Groove 54° to match the 58° that I had bought a few weeks ago. Project X LZ 6.0 shaft and Golf Pride MCC midsize grip. Also picked up a towel and alignment stick cover while I was at it.

  31. Cobra seems to have the “little brother” image in the major OEM world, in my opinion. Case in point I had never even considered a Cobra club until the Cobra challenge. Now I can safely say they will ALWAYS get a run when I look to replace a club in the future. The Aerojet 3 and 7 woods are the best I’ve ever hit and will be in my bag for a very long time. Wilson is also a great answer after being an original dominant force, then fading out and being viewed mostly as cheap box set clubs, to now rising back in the club world. I love the looks of their irons.

  32. So took the Tour X to the course today. Off the tee box and longer shots at the green the ball feels nice off the club head and can be worked to the left. I am sure it can be worked to the right as well just I cannot do that on command. Around the green, yeah these balls are something special. Wonderful feel, tight spinny results on that kind of shot, and a true roll at the flag. One other thing. I snap hooked one out of bounds into a cinderblock wall. Extended my on course fishing rod to its fullest extent and fished the ball out of a back yard. Besides having an odd discoloration the ball was unblemished. So another observation is these balls are tough, seriously tough!

  33. I've been a member of the forum for a little while and I will admit this is a dumb "issue" that really doesn't need to be fixed but I notice it every time I log on to the forum. Does it bug anyone else that there is no space between "Location" and the city/state of the member?

  46. For many years, as I was trying to restrict my overly-long and out-of-control swing, it was Tom Lehman -- at least, as a target for me. Lately, it is more Steve Stricker.

  47. Good Morning! Working has been tough this morning but at least the weather isn't nice. It's snowing for the 2nd day in a row since removing my winter tires Not a lot on the agenda today other than work. I'm going to start packing and getting ready for our trip family trip to Branson. I'm taking the golf clubs so I need to figure out how to pack them nicely around the other stuff that gets jammed in the van like a game of "Tetris." None of the Big Cedar courses are going to be open yet, but we found a couple of other courses that will be open so we will get some golf in! Spent a lot of time this weekend getting food planning around with the family. Should be a fun trip!

  48. Wow! Good morning MGS Troops and happy Monday to you’s guys and gals! I woke up late for the first time in forever. I didn’t realize how tired I am after the Mesquite trip and long drive home. I pretty much lounged around all day Sunday after doing all my laundry from the trip to help out the spousal unit. My reward for that is a fitting with the Ping expert at Collindale in Fort Collins. He’s supposedly one of the top fitters according to the spousal unit’s research. We shall see. On another subject, Brun-nasty got his new hockey jersey! Looks like Lucy is jealous. Bruno is a bruiser though and Lucy, well, she’s a little athletically challenged. No golf for a few days until the snow leaves. After Mesquite I do need a break to recover, and I found that I need to make some adjustments which is why I scheduled a fitting to verify what I need to do. Hopefully it’s just a matter of cutting a half inch off some driver shafts. I was killing the BRNR mini but really struggled with the big boys. I was also smacking the 3 and 4 woods well. My irons were all long so definitely need to figure that out, and I have a gap in my wedges. I need to go 50, 54, and 58. But what I really need is sleep or coffee. The morning ritual with los poopies didn’t cut it this morning. With all that being said, Happy Monday and Happy Birdie Hunting to all you beautiful people!

  50. That was a lot of responses to go through and a lot of members who will be getting golf balls! In total 183 members will be receiving golf balls for this run. Bridgestone is currently working on the order and they will be sent out hopefully this week. When I know the balls have been sent out I will create a new thread for the discussion. Congrats to all who got the correct answers and actually had forum accounts! Looking forward to hearing what you find with these golf balls! - Oh and E12 testers will be receiving the RX as this is closest ball with the MindSet feature. Just an fyi.
