Tour Edge Exotics CBX 3-Wood is in excellent condition. It features a Project X 6.0 HZRDUS 63 gram shaft with a Lamkin Z5 grip. The club has 15 degrees of loft. Very minor scratches on the sole and face but otherwise club is in excellent condition and performs like new. Headcover included but is not the original. $110 shipped.

Hey, thanks everyone! And to those wondering, I am a sp0rtsfan(86). Won’t get to use them outside of a sim for a couple months but wanted to share my birthday gifts from “my wife” to me!

Really curious which two ball manufacturers have expressed that they are unable to take on new business at the moment... Would certainly put money on Foremost being one of them.

It sounds like that its up in the air whether they make a "full" release this year or next year. Tony hinted at this in a recent article (can't remember which one, it was within the last two weeks). My guess is that they keep doing some of these releases throughout the year and have a permanent release in '23 when they do the ball refresh

Probably out there but going to go out on a limb Red- MTB Black Green- MTB X Blue- TP5x

Okay, I know this is an old thread/comment but you made me go down the rabbit hole of finding a gag Phillips commercial from 2006 promoting "Quintippio- the new 15 bladed razor!" lmfao

I have the same irons and gapping, the there is ~16yd distance gap between PW and GW. Over the past season there were only 2 real instances where I found myself directly between clubs and had to make a tougher decision.

Have seen their advertising as well, they are definitely targeting a certain demo and are annoying at least to me. I don't think they are a scam but I would be surprised if they weren't a tier below in quality as they don't make their own equipment but contract it out. Obviously other places do it too and I don't have personal experience with them, but that has been typical of newer companies coming into the golf space.

Agreed on this, Vice Pro Soft and Callaway Chromesoft are probably the softest golf balls that I would legitimately game as all the other lower compression balls don't check a box that I need from a ball.

I understand that for sure and agree. I have only purchased a few dozen mint balls and did not notice any difference from new however, they were from a homeowner on a golf course. Golf balls have gotten good enough that you can find a ball that is $25-40/dz with the same properties as a $50/dz ball, only difference is branding and maybe a slight QC bump. The price of the ones you are using new is probably only $5/dz more than mint/near mint ProV1s and you know they are new. Unless you are losing more than 3-4/rd I think what you're doing right now is the way to go. Otherwise, you could order a dz mint of Snell/Maxfli/Vice to try vs what you are using and if that would be another way to save? I think most of those sites offer deals regularly too

I wouldn't consider balls that have spent more than a few hours submerged in water, mint or near mint. It would be interesting to see the degree that water logging affects ball performance, however I am sure that it varies by model as well. It seems general consensus that balls submerged more that 12 hours will have performance affected.

I would echo the Z Star and RX as primary recommendations, similar compression as AVX and with your SS you should see similar spin numbers and maybe a tad more distance (~5yds). If those aren't for you I would look at the Titleist Tour Speed or current Chromesoft (they maybe redesigning for next year, someone correct me if I'm wrong?), you would likely see a bit of distance benefit, similar spin and compression as well.

I noted but I was looking at the grouping for the Pro V1, it does look a tiny bit tighter than the other two. Could just be swing like Chris said but I think I like that grouping a bit more than the std dev on spin #s!

Agreed on the classic look of Titleist, I like Srixon's, Vice's and Bridgestone's a lot as well, Bridgestone may be my favorite logo. Callaway, Taylormade are just okay. I actually really dislike Snell's although I love the ball- I wish they would redesign, shrink or just go to a single "S" logo like Bridgestone. I think Maxfli looks a bit dated and could use a refresh too.

I'm stealing the winter pocket technique from you Greg my guess is that there probably isn't much to expansion and contraction unless its more extreme temps and happening a number of times. I would love to see data on ball flight with those variables as well!

Sounds good to me! K eep I ncreasing S pecialty Club S tockpile

I thought that the last lab on MGS was interesting and thought that the results were about what I would expect. However, now I am more curious about how prolonged exposure during storage (days, months, year+) of heat/cold would affect the play of golf ball. Does anyone have any experience playing/hitting balls that were stored at high or low temps for a period? Was there a noticeable difference?

Thanks for the response! We are going forward with composite, just a matter of picking brand. Does anyone have experience with Fiberon? We have the option of that or Timbertech. Thankfully we have a tree next to the deck and is only in direct sunlight for a few hours a day during the summers so it shouldn't cook! Contractor did some work for our neighbor and comes highly recommended, wanted to make sure its done right haha

I love the XV and slightly surprising by the Maxfli. My guess is that the numbers on this next one are going to look reallllllly similar lol

ARRRGGGGG Thats tempting, but I did just get a wood that I need to try before I think of getting another club. Thank you for the heads up though!

From my understanding the way they listed it, it was strokes gained per shot and this test was done by test golfers and not a robot. I would absolutely agree on verifying club/shaft performance for your game personally before purchasing because every person and swing is a bit different, where I am I would not go out and buy a brand new $600-$700 driver if the difference was 9 yards but if I was in the market and it was a $100-$200 difference from other clubs I was looking at, it would be hard to say no all else being equal.

I would love to try a Srixon or Sub70 UI

I get your point and agree for the most part, equipment is never going to magically fix your game and for most people, they don't end up getting the return they are expecting on spending $500+ on one or two clubs. However, the difference in distance between the 1st and 25th driver in the most recent was ~9 yards and the difference in strokes gained was ~.077. Over the course of a typical round that is about a stroke saved, and for some people I am sure that is worth it.

Throwing out something slightly different: 1. Maxfli Tour CG 2. Srixon Z Star XV 3. Titleist Velocity #1 is the winner for me, I think it had the most balanced performance and value the higher spin numbers off the wedges and slightly more penetrating driver flight.

It’s really surprising that Blue (#3) had the most spin off the 7i after having lower spin on full and short wedge shots. I will wait to see the driver data to speculate on this one!
