I’ve been playing the Maxfli TourX for a month or so. So fat I’ve been pleased with them, especially the price. I’ll have to try my Pro V1x and see if I notice a difference.

I decide on course and weather conditions or just how I feel on that day.

I almost always clean them after every round. I clean the grips every 2-3 weeks.

Miranda definitely knew how to keep the show moving and get from topic to topic. She was an excellent moderator.

I meant Harry wasn’t on NPG anymore.

I’ve gotten a couple used wedges over the years but they were ones that looked like they’d never been hit. More than likely someone tried them and didn’t care for them.

Just happen to be watching the new episode now. Just Tony and Chris. So no Miranda OR Harry. They say they’ll have a lot of guests, which for me were my least favorite NPG to watch. I liked the interaction between the MGS staff. We’ll have to see how it goes with 2 guys manning the ship.

Kind of depends. Normally every year or two. Last year I got new wedges at the beginning of the year but got new ones again towards the end. Went from a 50,55 and 60 to a 52-58. Keeping both sets in case I change my make up again.

I had a set of those. A terrific set of irons. eBay had some in really good shape for $280

I’ve always ground the putter and have a slight forward press. The forward press sets my wrists and prevents my stroke from breaking down.

Off the top of my head it would probably be the Ping G400 LST. I also had a 3 and 5 wood of the Steelhead XR fairway woods.

I’m not sure anyone besides me in my playing group cleans their grips. Maybe once a season if at all. It would drive me nuts.

I understand that. Years ago I used the Lampkin V Trak that were fantastic grips. I even got some friends to use them. If I would’ve known they were being discontinued I would’ve bought a box of them.

I just saw all three sets up close yesterday. I can’t comment on their performance but while they all look good I still like my MP20 MMCs looks better than the 223s. Everyone has their own preference so I’m just speaking for myself.

I currently changed my wedge set up and carry a 52 and 58 but for most of the year carried a 60. I never really used it for full out swings unless the lie dictated it. Great for short bunker shots, hitting over a green side bunker or other hazards. I don’t carry a low bounce 60 or 58 because as you said, I don’t need it for the minimal times I’d use it. My current 58 has got 12 degrees. I have a fairly steep swing and it’s very versatile for me. I also have friends who carry nothing higher than a 56. I hate to admit that I use it because unfortunately I don’t hit enough greens.
