Played the Triad on a whim today, they had some next to the register at check in. I enjoyed to ball a lot. It played to the same distances as I play the MTBX with no issues. Maybe a little straighter flight. I was shocked at how well it held greens for me, lot of drop and stops with my mid irons. The course was very wet today from dew, not soft though. Took 16 holes to dry out. Im not sure that the MTBX would have spun that well, that wet, FOR ME. Not a fan of it being a Wilson, but I bought a dozen anyway. Gotta see how they play when its dry. Played 16 holes with one ball. It saw 5 sand traps. Held up very well.

Sorry that its taken this long to update this. Its been an awful spring in Minnesota this year for golf, weather wise. I have about 15 rounds in with this bag at this point. Overall, Im happy with it. I love that its a cart bag with stands on it. I also love that the dividers are oriented opposite of most cart bags so when its on a push cart, the heads dont get tangled and there is no shaft bite. The full length individual dividers work great, as Sun Mountains do. I love that i can take the shoulder strap off the bag completely. There is ample storage as well. I have a full set of rain gear, 20 balls, 200 tees, 3 large golf towels, finger tape, misc snacks, range finder, 5 count cigar humidor etc in it at all times and it never seems cluttered. Winter hat and gloves fit easy when needed. Fits on the BagBoy Nitron like a glove!!!! The stand system works great. I have 2 gripes with this bag. The cooler pocket could be bigger. I can fit a small gatorade, water bottle and protein shake in it and thats it. Its barely big enough to work. 2” more, each dimension would be HUGE. The top of bag is also a little narrow and if you have a full 14 club bag, its a little more cluttered than id like. Its not bad, but could also be bigger. Overall, 8/10.

Lessons!! Another thing i would add to the list would be a wrist style gps so you know your yardages on the course, or a laser. I am personally pretty leery of radar based launch monitors indoors unless to have a TON of room. They are finicky and inaccurate in doors in MY EXPERIENCE (my space is 20x20x9.5). Outdoors theyre pretty close, but then if your hitting range balls youre numbers will be skewed compared to the ball your gaming.

Should I be switching my shot shape at will while I'm playing??

Great answer -
I have both. But the hybrids live in the bag. They get a little on the loose side but my miss hits are at least pin high. Just changed the shafts in them to see if it helps with the loosey goosey. What i have found, for me personally, is that if im not hitting my hybrids all that well, i sure as heck am not gonna hit my 4 well. I would also offer this. If you dont like it, dont play it. Confidence is huge. If you werent fit for it, it may not fit you in the least. Try something else. Go hit some other stuff.

I loose 1.4 per round. The course usually plays the biggest factor. Slope of 125 or less, probably not gonna loose one. Slope closer to 145, especially water heavy, odds are im gonna loose a couple 2-5. My group of guys live on opposite corners of town so we bounce around a lot.

Golfers elbow got me bad last year. Switched my irons to graphite shafts and wore a compression sleeve for the rest of the year. Still get a little tender if i play more than 36 in a day or 4 rounds in a week but amazingly better and more than manageable. This is the one i settled on.
