Is there a specific bag you’re looking into? Some accounts get discounts depending on brand.

And with all 3 having different profiles the chances all 3 play exactly the same for a golfer whenever they feel which could effect performance. Or the profile itself being a bad fit this affecting performance.
Two golfers with similar swings could feel something different in each one and golfer a basing decision on golfer b’s experience is purely a guess if it would work for golfer a.
Completely agree. I don’t know how modus 130 works for me. It should launch too high since I’m a high ball hitter but because of the stability in handle I lean the shaft more and it performs better than x100, x7 or project x 6.5 for me.

This shows the comparison of tz6 dark grey, Ventus black black and a white profile from Mitsubishi a Kuro Kage tx. As you can see the tz6 is softer but as stable in tip as Ventus. It just has more kick because the midd and right before tip is softer.
-
I’ve played ventus black 6x and 6tx before. I’ve found LAGP AXS blue 6x to be as stable but smoother. It is a unique profile and has more feel than similar shafts with sub 3 torque ratings. Also I think in similar low/low couldn’t go wrong with a white profile from Mitsubishi like KaLil white or tensei pro white. Others I’ve liked are Accra TZ6 m5. It’s super stable in handle but softer tip gives it feel. It’s not a soft tip just soft in relation to tip.

150% trade in?……
who’s got this?
Callaway currently has it but you have to use it towards Rogue products. Wouldn’t work with apex I do not believe.

May I ask, what did PXG charge for shipping the two clubs? I went to checkout and they want $60 to ship. Which gave me pause as it seems a bit excessive. I purchased irons and 3 wood from them 2 years ago and I don’t remember them charging that much.
If you use some places they can help with shipping. Discountdans comes to mind as a retailer who helps with pxg shipping costs but might take longer to get your clubs.

Sorta off topic but not---- Practiced today and afterwards my bud and I were having lunch on the patio by the putting green. I had the old Hoofer sitting there. One of the prim proper Tourist golfers made a comment to his bud " Man that is an old Hoofer" My bud who likes to harp on the tourons as much as I do shot back quick " You think the bag is old you ought to look at the clubs inside" One of them asked " you playing those?" My bud said "nope but he is (pointing to me) ya want to play for money?" The guy left kinda quickly. Yeah the old Hoofer is still holding up I do lube the real metal zippers with WD 40 about every week. Yeah best $5 I ever spent. What made the whole incident really funny is my bud (who is a permanent part of my shootout team now) Is darn near 80 yoa and not only is he a good stick but he is darn quick on a comeback too.
This makes me want to go buy a hoofer and have a similar story in 15 years haha. Maybe it would be one of my last bags ever. They just seem to hold up better than other brands.

Great write up. Honestly with all the different opinions on club champion I liked your perspective with goals and ideas of what you wanted to try. I think you were super successful and should be an awesome year with the new sticks.

He has a stealth driver in the bag too.

Will be interested to see how you like that shaft and 3 iron combo. Also how do you compare the 130x to the 125x or X100, if you have tried them?
Very cool WItB!
So far so good with the 3 iron shaft. It’s the best graphite driving iron shaft I’ve tried and I’m able to flight it for lower tee shots or even hit a cut I to a par 5. Quickly becoming one of my favorites in the bag.
I’ve played x100 and most other xstiff steel. I’d say the modus 130x is unique in the shaft feels very smooth yet stable with the extreme stiff butt section. I play a fade with my irons so I think this shaft lines up perfect and has more feel than an x100 for me. Also it launches higher than x100 but I find flighting it can be easy if you need a lower ball flight.
-
Just got a 4 hybrid and waiting on the shaft to replace my 4 iron. I like having a 3 iron Utility style for tee shots but figure the 4 will give me versatility in my game.

Finally got my Rogue LS and even though the weather has been horrendous we did get a couple of days in the 60’s and I’m amazed so far how straight it is, I was playing about a 30 yard hook with my Srixon and with this beaut it’s either straight or a tight draw. I will be interested to see the distance when it warms up and the fairways harden up a bit.
Awesome! I find it to be very forgiving and want to go straight too even on mishits. What a great driver they put out this year. Surprised it’s not getting as much recognition over the Stealth.

51 minutes ago, chisag said:... Yup great stuff right there! I always try and tell those struggling that the "secret" is not caring about results. We can walk a painted line in a parking lot that is 6' wide without ever missing a step but try and walk a 6 inch wide wall that is 40 stories high and the results of a misstep make that insanely more difficult. Hard not to concentrate on the results but in the end it is exactly the same, just our mental approach that makes it different and of course we cannot fall to our death playing golf. If you can focus on the process and not the results it can be so much easier. Executing a chip from just off the green could not be easier if you concentrate on making clean contact because with such a short stroke it is almost impossible to mess up. You may not get it close but you certainly won't chunk or blade your chip. Trepidation about getting it close can cause a myriad of problems from looking up to moving your entire body as well as lifting or dipping or yipping and a horrendous shot can follow.
... Concerning #1 and #2 above. I hit a really bad drive yesterday on the longest dogleg left par 4 that demands a drive down the left side that catches a slope and can add 40-50+ yds to you tee shot. I had a mental lapse and tried to guide the bal to the left side resulting in a slightly open face and a whopping high push/slice into the other fairway.
Instead of the normal 170-140 approach I had an approach of 245 yds for my second shot. I hit my 17* Super Hybrid as good as I could hit it concentrating on the swing and not the results, hoping for a short chip from somewhere in front of the green. One of my best shots of the day after my worst shot of the day that just crept on to the front of the green leaving me an 8 footer I made for birdie. "An opportunity to make an awesome follow-up shot" and although I did not try and reach the green just making an awesome follow up shot to the correct position just short resulted in a better than I anticipated result.
... Ben Hogan once told two young guys on the range that asked him which shot was most important, a tee shot or a putt and his reply was "the most important shot in golf is the shot you have right now."What a great Hogan quote. Tucking that one away for the course.
Today I hit some good and some bad but an 83 with three doubles and no birdies means there is potential to keep it going lower. Trending in the right direction headed into peak season.
one disappointing hole on par 5 I was only 200 out and hit a cut that did not cut and ended up in a hazard by green and did not get up and down for par.

That does sound pricey for grips. But... if they will last you 4 - 5 years, is it really that much?
If my clubs last un the bag 4-5 years it is a miracle in it of itself haha.

Still loving my Rogue triple diamond. It’s been the most consistent driver for me in the last few years as far as combo of forgiveness (fairways) and distance

Thanks for all of the responses. I am going to order the T100S irons. They look good, feel good and perform well. That's a winning combination.
I think you will be pleased especially because you know they worked great in the fitting. No doubts now when you’re on course you have the best set up.

Updated with content. Pressed submit too early the first time

Haven’t updated this in a quick minute and wanted to document what’s in my bag and why. I am going to test a different wedge shaft soon but the head will stay the same.
Driver:
Rogue ST 9 
LAGP AXS Blue 6X
I have gamed a lot of different drivers and usually lean towards a titleist driver but this Callaway driver is special. What helps me most is the fact it is forgiving across the face and I hit substantially more fairways with this driver. The LAGP AXS Blue 6x is an awesome shaft, holds up to any swing and yet has great feel too. I am surprised this does not get more use on the forums.
Fairway:
TSi2 16.5 Tensei Pro Blue 80TX
Love Titleist fairway woods. Have games 913, 915, TS and now TSi. Use it for at least one tee shot a round and potentially a 2nd one depending on conditions. This club is one that is familiar due to having a heavy blue profile shaft I have played in previous versions of my fairway woods.
Driving Iron:
T200 3 Utility ADDI 105X
This is a new driving iron. I will use this for one or two tee shots at my home course and most likely 2 times as 2ndshots into par 5s. I have gamed different driving irons and what I am looking for is ability to hit them low off the tee and high if needed to hold a green.
Irons:
ZX5 4-7 ZX7 8-PW Modus 130X
I love the Srixon new Z series. I have gamed T100, 620 CBs, 921 Tours, etc but decided on having as much forgiveness as possible at the top end of the bag. I hit my 7 iron on average 185 yards and I figured the 5 series was a good cut off there as having extra help on mishits will only assist me in hitting more GIR. I enjoy the ZX7 in 8 iron down for slightly more spin when trying to score form 173ish and in. I have tried basically every heavy extra stiff iron shaft and settled on Modus 130x because it is very stable and still has the modus smooth feel. I find it is easy to hit them high and flight a shot if needed.
Wedges:
SM8 50.08, 54.12 TI S400 60.10 LAGP L Series 120 Wedge
Vokeys have been a consistent factor in my bag and I have the SM8s right now with S400 in the 50 and 54 bent to 55 but am going to be switching them into Modus 125 wedge shafts to match the Modus feel a little better. What helped make my decision was trying the LAGP wedge shaft in the 60. This is now my favorite wedge and use it for every touch shot inside of 90 yards. It has great feel and produces consistent contact across the face. The only bummer is the wedge shaft is expensive, so I will keep it only in the 60 for now and try to Modus 125 wedge shaft in my other two wedges.
Putter:
PLD Prime Tyne 4
Putting has turned from a weakness to a strength in the last few years. I have gamed typically a blade style putter with a plumbers neck in the past. I recently switched to the Ping PLD Prime Tyne putter and it has been very good thus far. I enjoy the fact it is a mallet but has some toe hang. I find I am able to start my ball on my intended line and get a consistent roll thus far with the putter in the 4 rounds. Beyond performance, this putter looks great with a blacked out theme and frames the ball extremely well. It is also very small compared to other mallets I have gamed and reminds me more of a blade but with some added forgiveness.

It was a happy accident to be honest. Since most new putters come with larger grips I wanted to flip the script since I was getting stale on the greens.
I was looking at the worlds best putters at that time...the guys who seemed to make everything they looked at. Spieth, Fowler, Tiger. Even JT all using the smallest version of a GP Pro Only or SuperStroke.
I figured they must be onto something. I saw the value of the 3.0 and larger but wondered maybe it wasn't right for me.
Smaller meant better feel and better feel meant more confidence.
For the moment, I have the stock pistolero plus on my SC and love the extra on the left hand. It's the best of both worlds with a smaller profile but some substance. Scotty said it resembled a hammer and as someone who helped his father working trades, it's a natural fit.
Definitely a great grip having a unique axe like handle to lock the top hand. One of my favorites for sure.

The only thing you could do is lower loft to open the face. Are you sure it’s not the shaft? I tested a lot of shafts and one shaft I had the case of snap hooks but with my current set up it’s soft fades all day long.
