That's interesting. I'm the opposite. For some weird reason, I can't swing well on an indoor simulator. It's completely in my head, and I think it has something to do with the fact that the ball smacks into a screen 15 feet in front of me, instead of soaring out onto the range. The first iron fitting I ever did was at a Club Champion that is right next to a driving range. I warmed up on the range with my 6 iron, and was consistently hitting about 165 (which, sadly, is my typical 6-iron distance). 10 minutes later indoors, the simulator was showing 145 with the same club. Anyone else cursed with this bizarre quirk?
Yes. I have had this same exact issue at Club Champion. I do think it was where the mat was uneven/severely worn and I felt like I was going to hit the sidewall on my swings.
But for context, this was 3 years ago on a trackman and before the RCT balls.

Hardest Course I have ever played is Bellerive, and it just happened to be the week before a Mid-Am event at the club. They had the greens rolling almost a 12 on the stimp-meter, and the greens were hard and fast.
Shot 84, 14 greens in Regulation, and had 45 PUTTS. On the Day I played it was 92 degrees and we teed off at 1:30.

I love my Titleist Tsi3. For years I have grown more and more inconsistent with Drivers because companies continue to make the heads bigger and lighter. Call me crazy but I just want the "traditional" pear-shaped head and some weight in the clubhead without having to add lead tape. Luckily, Titleist delivered.

I'm usually not going "full tilt" right away when warming up with the Rypstick and treat it as more of a dynamic warmup. I still enjoy some static/lightly dynamic stretching, but tend to relegate that to before lifting weights now. If my goal is to swing a golf club, my warmup is going to be swinging a golf club.
I tend to do most of my Rypstick work at night when I'm sufficiently loose from the day's activities and can go harder then. So far, so good.
I agree with this 100%!
I have started taking bands with me to the course and doing a "light workout" before I hit the range and it has completely changed the "on-course" adjustment I have always suffered from where it takes me about 3 holes to get going.
I have been doing my rypstick training right after my round when I am the most tired and I have picked up 8 mph of clubhead speed, which is nice because now what I feel is a stock swing/swinging easy, is still 112-115 with my driver.
-
Honestly if given the opportunity, I would probably just have two drivers or another wedge for specialty shots.
In the past I have played like this on certain courses with having an 8 Degree, and a 12 Degree in the bag, but then having to go 52, 58 on wedges. On the other side, I have played shorter courses where I could take Driver out of the bag and add in another wedge at 62 or 64 degrees.

Personally I am a fan of low bounce in the lob wedge and mid to higher bounce in the sand wedge.
for me that is a vokey 54*s grind (10*) and a 60* L grind (4*). I use the 60 for most shots around the green but if they get longer or I want a little more roll I use my 54*. I have been doing this for years and it works really well for me
I do the same thing with my 58 K grind (6* of bounce) and my 54 F Grind (14* of bounce).
All Depends on whether you lean the shaft, open the face, change your stance, or use hands to manufacture shots or not. If not, then just find a wedge that fits your stock shot and work on hitting that from all different lies and conditions, along with chipping.

I Put the Left Dash into play sometime last year and have loved that ball! So whenever I saw the left dot come out, I immediately ordered two dozen just to compare. Yesterday I played 9 holes all the way through with both balls and here were my takeaways:
1. Left Dash was consistently 5 - 10 yards longer per shot on carry distance.
2. Left Dot had a lovely mid trajectory that cut through the wind and even allowed me to hit a 320 drive into a 5-7 mph wind.
3. Left Dot had consistently more greenside spin and stopping power on one hop, stop shots and lower flighted wedges (less than 5 yards of roll all day).
4. Left Dot felt better on putts as it is much softer, but where I typically play the Left Dash it caused some putting inconsistencies.
All in all, I feel that both balls work great for my game. The Left Dash is great whenever it is a warm day with little wind. The Left Dot would be better for a day like yesterday, high of 80 degrees, with more wind coming into play. Also, for me the course would play a huge factor in choosing my ball. If you need more carry distance, then definitely go with the left dash.

So basically if we use process of elimination when comparing it to the Quad, you will get Angle of Attack, Clubhead Speed, and Club Path.

Last Saturday I hit my ZX7's alongside the new T200's, T100's, and T100S and my notes on feel are as follows.
T200's: This isn't the most direct comparison however I never intended it to be. These were hit alongside the ZX7's as a case of because I can and what if they do feel comparable. What I was really hoping for was something that gave a close enough feel so I can pair them up with my ZX7's as a 4 or 5 iron. Unfortunately as expected they were not even close. To me they felt firm, were clicky, and overall not for me. The back badge of the T200 is also some kind of plastic and is great for looks but is also really hard and clicks if tapped with a fingernail so its very off putting.
T100's: Feel is very muted but soft at impact. The T100's feel soft but only for a short period of time and then the feeling is gone. Compared to the ZX7 which feels softer and tends to last longer. The difference being if I were to hit a Tour Soft with a T100 I would get the same feel as hitting a Pro V1X with my ZX7 if that makes any sense.
T100S: Felt almost exactly like the T100's but just a tick firmer. This could very well come down to me not absolutely middling the ball as well.
Your explanation is spot on and the exact reason why I switched away from the 2019 T100/T100S. To me, I can hit the ZX7 about a club longer and I believe it is due to the feel difference and confidence hitting the Srixon's

I did end up buying them. I like them a lot so far but still trying to dial in the gaps.
I have had the same issue with them and have had to switch to ZX7 in numerous different irons to create a consistent gap window.

Thank you very much for this info WildCatGolf! Your experience is exactly what I fear and do not want to happen. That is why I have already decided that if I get the Apex's it will be all the 19s, no combo set.
That's great to hear, Glad I could help!
-
I played the combo set for a brief period of time earlier this year and ultimately went back to Titleist because of the dispersion and distance control.
The Apex's have a larger face and the flash cup technology so when you pair that with an Apex Pro 8 iron with adjusted lofts but no flash cup, it does lead to a distance issue from time to time between your 7 and 8.
Here's a real world example, my home course has two par 3's on the front:
#2 - 172 yards slightly uphill (about 10 feet), with a small green and helping wind.
#6 - 181 yards drastic uphill (35 feet) with a narrow, long green and wind always in your face.
The Apex Pro 8 iron was always my go to on number 2 and the Apex 7 iron was my go to on number 6.
Here is my stats when using the combo set:
2 - GIR 70%
6 - GIR 25%
Here is my stats after switching back to my T-100s
2 - 72%
6 - 76%
Not trying to sway you in any way towards a different club. Just using my own experience to show you what can happen with that 7 iron being different. That 7 iron could literally range from 160 to 200 for me. I never had that problem with the 8 through AW Apex Pro's though.
If you could find them all as being Apex then I think you would see less discrepancy in your numbers.
Also, make sure it was a true Apex Combo set from Callaway and not one that was mixed and matched after the fact because the lofts would be jacked up, which is what may have happened with mine. For reference, when simply buying Apex Pro's the loft on an 8 iron is 37 Degrees, but with the combo set, it is 35 degrees. Hope this helps and happy hunting, bro.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf consistently since I was 10 years old. My handicap is currently a Three (3), and has been lower in the past whenever I could play more often.
-
What do you love about golf? I love the peacefulness of it. Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) said it best when he was referring to the gridiron, "Yeah, this is my sanctuary right here. All this hat red and turmoil swirling around us, but this...this is always right."
-
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I have always trusted the Reviews and read the forums, but now I would love to participate as well. I feel like I would feel further invested into this community and my experience could only grow from my interactions with other spies.
-
Where are you from? What is your home course? Campbellsville, Kentucky. Campbellsville Country Club, the course where JB Holmes grew up.
-
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best would be the Bermuda fairways and climate allow courses to be played much of the year. However, since they are Bermuda, they take longer to get green and lush in the springtime and brown up whenever the first cold front comes through.

If I were in the market for a console, I'd be looking at the Xbox - I've always preferred the way the controller fits my hand compared to Playstation. Currently, I do all my gaming (which is little) on PC. I've got enough firepower that I can run the Resident Evil 2 remake at 70+ FPS in 1080p with most settings on high, but that's about as good as I can do with my current setup. Any more demanding titles and I'd have to either settle for a lower frame rate or reduce the eye candy.
That is a very good point about the Xbox Controller.
Also, I love how the Xbox controller is compatible with any windows 10 device and now (per their press conference Tuesday) Apple Products via bluetooth.

That's the beauty of TM adapters, they've been the same for years. Anything from the SIM to the R15 and SLDR line use the same adapter.

Grew up playing the Halo and Gears of War Series, so its easy to say I am hooked and tied to Xbox for that reason.
The one fall back, as a huge baseball fan, has always been that the SHOW was a PlayStation Exclusive. Luckily that is changing with the next gen console.

Thanks for the reply! I am in the same boat right now! Really debating moving doing combo set with 620 CB with t100 in the 5-6 or I just go All T100s in black or try to combo a T100s/T200 set haha. What to do, what to do?!?!? If you're going to combo the T100s/T200 how would you match up the lofts?? im just curious because after going over the numbers right now and it seems to have a lot of overlap. Thanks for the reply!
I play only the 4 iron in a t200 and made the 5 thru 9 irons 1* degree strong because I have a tendency to "balloon" the ball and I have found that it did not mess with the turf interaction. I originally was fitted with bending the t200's a degree weak on a 4 thru 7 set, then standard lofts on the t100-s but for some reason it seemed to mess with my strike pattern and my dispersion was all over the place. Luckily Club Champion upheld their guarantee and after 4 sessions we finally got it right.

Definitely needs to be a buyer's guide on grips because it can make or break a set of clubs. TXG's video talking about different grip sizes is a must watch on this topic. FWIW, I play Midsize MCC+4's for comfort level and it keeps my hands from getting "flippy."

I’ve been playing 50, 56 and 60 degree vokeys. The 48 was a bit interesting so I’m not sure how I’m going to utilize it in regards to gapping. I could always buy new wedges to gap them out properly.....?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI had the same issue, I ended up going with a 54 and 58 to combat the 48 degree. I had traditionally always played a 46 PW and then 52, 56, and 60.
