Just got a new Srixon ZX MkII 3-wood and so far enjoy it. I don't need adjustability in a 3-wood and like that better connection from shaft to club with the traditional hosel. And just tried it out today, I love it!

I'm super excited to be a tester for this!!

Here's another aspect of gapping sessions that is valuable. It's not just the average distance but it's also tracking the accuracy of your individual clubs. Front to back, left to right, does one club have a more right or left bias? During this fitting it was from my 5 iron on that would start to have a right bias. So I had the lie angle changed, adjusted weights in the woods and started working on my swing path more. Then this gapping session just over a year later, the dispersion circles shifted. The swing changes were working but now to move those weights back to the toe side.

I still do mine all in one day just for scheduling reasons but I hit 3-4 shots per club first, then go back and do more after hitting all the clubs. I do this 2-3 times a year so then I can average it out as well. A big thing that I see with first-timers doing this is they are trying to max out and go for distance. Once the excitement wears off and they go for accuracy then they also don't get as tired.

I play year round so I check my gaps 2-3 times a year. Usually it's my wedges that get out of sync so then I know grooves or loft/lie got out of whack a little. I have a Trackman membership so it makes it easy to do this. I have a couple sets of irons so it's fun to see what the differences are between sets. Interestingly enough this is Nelly's. I worked the LPGA this week in AZ and find most amateur men are comparable with the LPGA player's distances but nowhere near their game haha. I followed several groups during the week and they rarely miss a fairway and their short game is amazing.

This. You won't really know until you can compare them. This way you can do a side by side of steel vs graphite or different weight shafts.

For my 20° ZX Utility Iron I just use the same shaft as my irons. For me this gives me the same control and accuracy for those skinny fairways and ability to flight in windy conditions. I have also looked into heavier graphite shafts in the 90-100g ranges but lighter weight steel could also work.

Titleist TSR2 7 wood has been money in the bag this season. I keep dabling with hybrids, and driving irons but this 7 wood keeps beating them.

Ever since I tested the Lamkin UTX for MGS, they've been in the bag, and I have continued to install them on other clubs/shafts Lamkin UTX Review for MGS

Ping G430 Max with ACCRA TZ Five Because my Shot Scope Strokes Gained comparison says so

Same answer for both. As long as they are fit to you, match your specs, etc then it's a great way to save a bit. Not to say it can't happen but most won't see a huge difference from one generation to the next.

I’m a huge fan but also cause I like long irons. I play most of my rounds in Phoenix/Scottsdale but also worldwide. Took a while to find a driving iron I really liked and landed on the Srixon ZX and Ping iCrossover, both did well in MyGolfSpy reviews https://mygolfspy.com/buyers-guides/irons/2022-most-wanted-utility-iron/ https://mygolfspy.com/buyers-guides/driving-irons/best-driving-irons-2023/

One of the things I really hate on the web is #clickbait In general, I'm a fan of Freddie's video but his reference of MGS and doing his test indoors is lame.

Have used Shotscope and familiar, was just trying to test the difference. Yeah free trial is buying/getting tags and signing up for a membership. I'll just reach out to Arccos directly and try that way

They provide screenshots and some explanation, I was just trying to find how to actually demo/use/play with the app, even if it's sample data but actually play with the app and see what I can/can't do with it

Not looking to buy tags, link and test this way. Just want to demo the app to see what data I get, can I track one club vs another, how does it dissect stats so I know where to practice, etc, etc ,etc.

I was a cyclist (many lbs ago lol) Not sure if this is your model but this might help https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner35/EN-US/GUID-76E141A7-9192-4149-84D1-53A3BD3FA7B3.html#:~:text=> Settings > Bluetooth > Smart Notifications > Turn Off.

Used to be a watch guy and collect some over the years, usually some limited edition but over time (no pun intended) I've become less of one. I still have a couple in rotation depending on the occasion but the daily driver is a Garmin Venu but have also used it less and less now days. I don't like the constant distractions, buzzing, notifications, etc sometimes I just want to unplug and as the saying goes, even a broken watch is correct twice a day.

Both, I start with looks because more with the putter than others clubs I have to like to look of it. There are a couple of styles I tend to gravitate to like an Anser blade and small mallet (Scott JAT, Bettinardi BB30) then I'll take them out to the greens to practice and let the numbers decide.

I start by looking at tests from MGS and Today's Golfer, then including Ballnamic. I took the top 3-5 balls from each (there were a few overlaps so not like I had to test that many really) and did a few tests of my own with putting, chipping, and full swing with Trackman. Taking into consideration price discounts since I usually buy several at a time. If one ball is a yard or two shorter on the driver or spins a couple hundred less on the wedge but is several dollars cheaper on the dozen then I'll take that into consideration. Also, I prefer a yellow ball which limits some choices and I'll play white if it's that much better but I can usually find what I want in yellow. So my top pick for now is the Wilson Staff. It was top 3 in most tests and categories, available in yellow, and had a buy 2 get 1 deal. Others that made the top 5 after all my tests.
