This forum is taking improving seriously. Thanks all for your efforts, and welcome new mod-like leaders!

Thanks Samson. I should say that I had selected a-shaft, am looking between 45-55g, but there are a pretty solid selection of shafts there, some uplift some standard. I was going to select the riptide and then read the CB might not be optimal. I’m wondering if any of you shaft ho’s can look and provide insight. weak tip is key?

I'm looking at the PXG GEN5 0311 driver (7.5 degree) that is on sale, and curious which shafts most closely match the Otto goals. I was initially going for the Riptide CB 50, but it looks like that isn't necessarily optimal. Also, 46"? (I usually play +1.2").

I replace every time one ends up in the water, or deep in the woods.

It’s a Swiss thing. To do things, they expect a certain amount of training to be taken. as someone once described to me, in Switzerland the laws tell you what you can do, while in the US the laws tell you what you cannot. not sure how accurate that is, but it felt correct!

McGolf is highly recommended. He did a great fitting for me, very comprehensive. Watch his Youtube channel.

As a non-club builder I am also curious. The PXG price and having it built seems a great way to check this out. Will these shafts make it happen? The PXG can be 9 degree btw.

I have several pairs of shorts and they are great quality. I'd buy again.

Great review. At the edge of 60 I’m trying to convince myself to try something more forgiving. This was a good push.

An incredibly readable write up on a very technical topic. Following.

I agree. I'm taking these to a fitting. Its an excuse to head down to see @mcgolf

They showed up today. Now I need to see how they work for me. Weird to buy clubs from Costco. Feels like I’m buying a commodity of some sort.

Well I ordered a set and they are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I figured they wouldn't last long. Not sure they are for me, but its Costco and I can return, right?

I got two for Thursday. Looking forward to it!

I am good either way. Hoping @MaxEntropy gets over covid quickly.

It is here in my neighborhood. Hoping I get to play there someday, but I better putt better than I did yesterday.

Thirded.

I should be available post-Memorial tourney. A few golf buddies and I are already considering the Fire Ridge/Black Diamond doubleheader. We got some fire ridge coupons from group golfer, and one of the guys said he wouldn’t drive to fire ridge and not play black diamond. So, great minds or something. I like it.

Wish I could join you. Rumor has it Ashland is in great shape. I’m betting Deer Creek is similar.

As of now I am most likely out. Mother has minor surgery slated for the 13th, I need to be in NY. There is a not unreasonable chance it is postponed, so I'll keep the thread up to date.

Looks like Big Oak range! I got my first set there as a lad.

I like the decision! I'm in for May 14 or 15.

I played Mohican last year, it wasn't in horrible shape. A really nice track actually. Apple Valley and Manakiki both sound good, Deer Ridge may be most accessible (right off 71).

Sounds interesting. What are you thinking?
