Went the more subtle route myself and went with the black and green one as I am always a fan of subtle detailing that the black background provides for the green. It was an honest toss up between this one and the white one but after seeing some sneak peaks of the shafts I'm very happy with my decision. Got the official shipping notification yesterday as well as an expected delivery date this morning. Shaft is expected to be delivered on Wednesday and I already have a Saturday tee time set for 10:40 in the morning! Can't wait to absolutely grip it an rip it on the course! Also I will be testing the 505X for the speedy members of this forum.

If someone purchased a LAB putter off the shelf and love it would they still be able to do a virtual fitting to see if the length and lie angle are correct and if not would they be able to send in the putter to have it adjusted?

So honored to be included in this group of testers and I can't wait to get things started!! This has got to be a record turnaround time for testing and don't worry $5 isn't a bribe but merely a friendly gesture as a thank you. But $6.00 now we are getting into bribery territory.

Couldn't agree more. My buddies and I go to PA occasionally to make a day out of it and there the courses are all well under $100 and have some of the most unique layouts because of the terrain.

Here in NJ it can vastly change from $30 to in county walking rate to upwards of over $200 if you go all the way up north to Ballyowen. I'm fortunate enough to be in somerset county so a $75 season long county card gets you $32 walking rounds on the weekends for all but Neshanic and Neshanic is $72 to ride on the weekends. I would say this is pretty cheap compared to other county courses. You can also find reasonable private memberships as well as expensive ones too. I would say that the course that are over $175 are not worth the price though as they are nice courses but they are not so much nicer where the price is justified.

Food table for the masters watch party is all set.

Ferrule of the adapter cracked on me recently and I'm not sure if its because of me, the install, or an aftermarket adapter. Fortunately I have seen zero issues in this perfecting performance but I am starting to think that maybe I'm the problem here.

It is very happy to be back in the bag as well.

Update: Driver head was delievered to Dicks yesterday and was also picked up. In total I was without the driver head for about 2 weeks which is really quick considering there was shipping both ways. Titleist seems to have went the full replacement route and the specs are bang on the money. Head weight was almost exactly the same at 196g with the plastic and it is in perfect condition. Now all that's left to do is a screw it back onto a shaft, spec it out, and give it a go.

That would make sense. While these clubs were built by club champion and not srixon I would assume that would be the same way they went about them.

I have to eat my hat here a bit and take back my comments on the length and build quality of the trial SMS 7i. My club ruler came in the mail a few moments ago and the first thing I did was measure the SMS and my ZX7 7 irons and the results are in. The SMS measured out to a length of 37in even which is exactly what it was ordered to. The ZX7 7i that was built by club champion measures out to 37 1/4in for length and was actually the incorrectly built club. I actually still have my old build "prescription" and it was supposed to be built to a length of 37.0in so the 7i is built 1/4in too long.

Also special shoutout to @Marlin Dave and @GolfSpy_KFT for the additional solutions to my predicament. Love the support that this community has for one another.

I'm not gonna disagree with you here and I think that Ping themselves would admit that G400-G410 was only a slight improvement if anything and not a huge leap forward. the G425 and G430 I think they seem to have fixed the ball speed issue that I am currently having but hey it's a backup driver so as long as I can hit it well and keep it in play I don't need much more from it.

I appreciate the compliment on my review and was glad the handicap breakdown was relatable. All too many times I play with someone new and they say there's no way that I'm a 12 and the amount of times I've been called a sandbagger is far to many to get worked up over. I have just learned to play my game and that 's how I get the most enjoyment out of it is by hitting the ball really hard and hitting some nice iron shots. Short game is what I have been shifting a lot of my practice to as of late and have found great success in improvement. I've found using the same motion and just changing clubs to let the loft do the work has been the biggest improvement and easiest to practice.
