When I shoveled yesterday we had a total of 9 inches, freezing rain tomorrow morning. Got to love it!

Looks like a sub par round is coming soon!

If you decide to reshaft them also, I suggest the Dynamic gold in your flex (standard version/ not lite), game changer for those irons. Keep in mind they have a tapper tip .355. When I changed mine I bought the shafts so I only have to trim about 1/2in off each. lol that was 30years ago.

I did, they have a chart on their website to help you decide, I was between weights so I went with the heavier weight for the irons and got a 40gram weight for the driver.
If you get sometime check out the video, I been following him for a while. I used to make and repair clubs a long time ago and now been wanting to get back into it. First time adding the counter balance weights to my own clubs.

He completed 3 tests, the standard wedge, then with a 25gram weight in the butt end and finally a 50 gram weight. When counterweighting it reduces swing weight from say a D2 into the mid C's for the 25 gram the swing speed increased, yards increased and dispersion got tighter, for the 50gram, it changed the swing weight into the low C's decreased the clubhead speed a touch, gained more yards and dispersion was even tighter.
** even though the weighting made the swing weight get lighter the actual club was heavier. **
 
The weights I purchased go through the grip, you buy a little tool almost like a hole saw, cut the grip and the weight goes in and you tighten it down, he changed his by removing the grip with air and then replacing it with air.

I was watching some you tube videos and came across Elite Fit golf, he did comparisons for the wedges and also has another video for the driver counter balance.
 

I purchased counter balance weights for my irons to gain some clubhead speed and tighter dispersion from TourLock.

I have a set of those Hogan Edge GS irons 2-SW that are in mint condition, a coworker used to work for Spaulding and before they went out of business he had pick them up. They were in his attic still in original boxing. I loved the Hogan Edge originals prior to them coming out with the GS model. Best irons I ever played!

Thy shall not covet another man's putter! Therefore,  you shall name your own! 😆 
 But thinking along the futuristic names, possibly something from the Jetsons, Futurama, lost in space, star trek, star wars?

The wedges look awesome and to throw in the MGS touch... Classy, Look good at address, curious what bounce are on each?

They are big when you’re at the front and the pin’s about as far back as it gets.  Millie also delivered some off the hook fringe rolls today as well.  

Must be huge greens! but the lag putting sounds spot on and then make the comeback 7footer... Awesomesauce!! Glad to see you and Millie are bonding.. I was thinking going old school Caddyshack name... BillyBarue .. probably not, AI needs a special futuristic name. Any thoughts on that Gentlemen?

23 Jan 24 update: Played the third course of the three my son, grandson and I tend to play most today with my son.  It's also the course our church men's group plays during the warm months in the monthly 9 hole superball scramble.  Millie and I had a discussion this morning after we found that the greens were squishy top, froze bottom mode - the ball needed some get up and go to roll uphill.  Anyway about the 5th hole, things started to click in terms of required tempo on the greens.  Lag putting was spot on as none of the lags finished more than 8' from the hole - had one from 80'+ and another from 90'+ plus that both were just past pin high within 7' of the hole.  Both were 1 putt comebacks.  The only 3 putt of the day was on 3, again it was the puttee not the putter that was having issues.  Same with a par miss on 7, 10' below the hole - I line up and don't trust the line, realign and promptly miss 2" right.  I told my son, I should have trusted the line I first saw - Millie sent the ball exactly where I aimed.  Looking at the stats for the day, finished with 32 total putts taken for 7 pars, 10 bogies and one (1) double.  The last number felt the best, not when I scored it, but in retrospect.  Good putting along with good wedge play along with good irons and good drives all build to a neat score.  As this test period will be wrapping up soon, its time to start thinking about what the final thoughts and verdict will be.  

Great course, elevation and tunnels!

Okay this is a huge rabbit hole that is hard to get out of once you step in but just to add to the conversation.
I tried a set of the XXIO X irons at a golf shop last year. Had no plans to buy them because I thought XXIO was made for people with slower SS but thought what the heck, and these were... different. They just felt, I dunno, right. Like when you try on a shoe and you know it's the right fit. So I bought them.
I did some research and realized these were counterbalanced. Sounds like the idea is to move the balance point around. For me it helps with the feel of the club; like there's not a ton of weight in the head with none in the grip. 
Again - a big rabbit hole and a lot of trial and error and it doesn't work for everyone.

This is from the golf digest article about them:

Very cool indeed! Glad you all had fun!

They are now available on the site, but weren't when I ordered these. (Also posted the links a few pages back)
Could not see the insert. The window only is through the back side. The bottom is milled out and threaded into the solid body portion.

Here is my 3 hole mini golf challenge…went with the “traditional” mini golf course design, taking advantage of the multiple golf club boxes I have at home…
Great idea by @Rob Person for this.  My wife thinks Im a little crazy, but this was a fun idea and I even had the kids in on the design and set-up for this…we had a good time doing this.
A little hard to tell in the video, but the last hole features the ball collection.  Much easier putting with the Ai-ONE over the typical putters you would see at your local course!

Update on weight swapping. I got these 25g odyssey weights (oworks design) and they do not fit. Sending back to seller. Here are the dimensions in inches " for the AI-ONE putter.

Just barely a hair, slightly under 7/8"

 

Newest addition for the backyard. Still have a few things to do for set up but looking forward to time on the Mevo+.
