  1. You love to see it. As a long time Titleist Player, I cannot wait for these clubs to be in fitting carts. According to my golf pro who is Titleist sponsored, this should be before Labor Day.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. Titleist 905T at 9.5 Degrees with Speeder Shaft
  13. 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.
  14. Thank you very much, I am glad to be here. My family has a place on 30a so I am down that way (usually, without COVID) multiple times a year.
  15. 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. What do you do for a living? Attorney who owns a general practice law firm. How’d you pick your user name? When I attended the University of Kentucky, I had the pleasure of being the University Wildcat Mascot from 2009 through 2011.
  16. 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.
  17. Exactly. I played my SLDR until the shifting weight finally bit the dust and then just got a SIM Head to go with my old Fubuki Shaft.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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."
  21. I 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.
