I’m lea ing with Kenny B but not as far. I have had it fall over once, out of the several dozen times I stand the bag up between the car and the cart. It’s tippy, but I usually still stand it up for a short minute or two without thinking about it. Love the bag so far.

No idea why I had the repeat posts before but just saw them… got the Maverick and very happy. Comparing it to my neighbors older C-130 it seems very similar with just 2-3 less pockets. Absolutely worth it. Now just need the weather to cooperate.

Thanks @Kenny B, I still can’t find a lot highlighting the differences. All the reviews seem like they’re very similar, and at least the 2022 version says it has full length dividers so I’ll give that a shot.

My search skills are failing me tonight because I’m positive someones discussed it: What are the differences with the 2022 and 2023 c-130 and maverick bags from Sun Mountain? I’m looking at them online but can only actually see the 2023 C-130 in store. I want a bag with 14 full dividers and like Sun Mountain, but I have a really hard time finding the differences between the two models and then year to year. The sale price for last years models makes it pretty tempting…

Thanks guys. It sounds like the thought in general is to buy whatever club fits that gap best. I’ll see if there is a single iron at the box store here and if I can try it between the 8 and P clubs I have. I may spend some time on those other sites too. Thanks everyone!

Thanks RickyBobby! We don’t have a lot of options for fittings here. The one place in town only carries a couple options but I may give it a shot.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Snow is on the ground but the simulator winter league is right around the corner here. I went out for a few shots and realized I have lost my 9 iron last time I went out and “shared” my bag with another person. I had already replaced my driver and 5 wood with PXG after the Tour Edge heads broke off, as well as a PXG putter, so my bag is already a mix. Now that my 9 iron is missing, I’m trying to figure out how to replace it best. I can’t find the same irons individually since it was the Bazooka 375 set, and I hit them fairly well. How do you guys recommend upgrading and maintaining bags club by club? I’ve started looking at other clubs (Rogue, PXG 0211) to line up the lofts to try and keep some similarity to my gaps, but hopefully you guys can share some of your experiences on upgrading club by club. Thanks!

Thanks Chuck, I’ll have to see where the closest fitter is and then maybe get there next spring. Snows already on the ground and we don’t have a fitter in the area.

Thanks @RI_Redneck, I’ll have to get a few swings in the garage. I DEFINITELY have moved the ball much farther forward than you describe and take a noticeably wider stance than my 5W. I don’t use my 3W (haven’t upgraded it and the first one had the head fly off) but I hit my 5W great nearly like an iron. I’ll start bringing my tee in and see if I can find a sweet spot.

Bump. I love my R10 for what it’s worth. I don’t “practice” with it in my garage but I will go out and play a round a few times a week. It’s nice as an option since our course is now closed for winter, but even just to have when the kids finally are asleep and I’m tethered to the house. Great fun.

Hey @Bobbers, I was looking at one of the PXG fairway woods that had a 2 wood around 14 degrees, but you’re right that a lot of the new drivers seem to adjust to 12 degrees. As for flex, my Tour Edge Bazookas are Regular flex steel (irons at this point), the 5 wood is Diamana S+ 60g in regular flex, but I’m told that would be considered stiff by some other shaft manufacturers so I’d say it’s right on the edge. The titelist driver is regular flex as well, but I’d be looking more towards stiff for any new driver based on comments from the guy I’d been getting lessons from. The lengths are all “standard” but im not sure what that is. I am 5’9” and again the guy I’d been getting lessons from says that is a good starting point without getting a good fitting somewhere (not a lot of options in northwest Montana). I did get out for 9 holes yesterday and had some of my best drives yet. More of a fade than a terrible slice. I was deliberately tilting my upper body away from the ball on the driver only.

Thank you both! I don’t have a 2 wood or any other drivers to try. I struggle with stepping up a tee box with the peanut gallery I can sometimes make it out with, but that’s a lot cheaper than buying clubs just to try!

Thanks Cnosil! I’ve had a few lessons and my irons show it, and my new 5 wood shows it, but the driver is just not sticking. We’ll get one good hit out of a dozen and I cannot tell what was different. For saving strokes during the round, any thoughts on a 2 wood or stick with the 180 yard 5 wood for now? Thanks!

I keep struggling with my driver slicing excessively. I still am trying different heights, different positioning in my stance, making sure to TURN through the swing with my hips, but I cannot hit my driver (old titelist) straight. I had my first hit of the day slice right into the adjacent fairway, and my playing partner said to hit a breakfast ball and it would be better. It sliced as well and both were within 5 yards of each other. Very consistent, just bad. My woods used to slice a little as well, although the PXG 5 wood I just got has been drilling them straight as can be, and my irons are pretty straight most of the time. is it time to give up on a driver? Should I try running a 2 and 5 wood and see if that’s my ticket? I’m also eying the PXG driver sale and thinking maybe they could fit me over the phone as well as the 5 wood, but I’d hate to do that and then just be slicing with a newer driver…. Open to any suggestions or help!

Hey all, has anyone seen these or had a chance to play with them on a Garmin r10? https://www.titleist.com/product/pro-v1x-rct/002PVXRCT.html it sounds like it may help with some of the accuracy issues better players noticed with the R10, but I can’t bring myself to buy a dozen when 3 would be more than enough. Curious if anyone has tried them and noticed any change.
