I really like these!  I roll them everytime I'm in the store. 
Haha!  This makes so much sense. 

@Dan1993, @azstu324, and @Preeway have you ever stopped and done the math............................................  🤔

That question is asked by me, an example shown in the photo below.......................................  🤣

I keep seeing people posting the Jailbird mini, and I keep thinking they should try another versa pattern.
My curiosity got the better of me, so I photoshopped it to see what it would look like. 
I like it, but it basically just emulates the "7" shape with the versa colourway.

The new putter arrived this morning and I wasted no time in unboxing it and beginning to practice on my putting mat. I absolutely love the look and feel of it and I can't wait to bring it out to the course this weekend!

Picked up a couple of boxes of the previous model TaylorMade TP5X balls to top up my stock. Amazon Prime Day deal- $33 per dozen. Thought I’d share in case others could benefit from the deal.

As much as I like the ‘24 ball and the Chrome Tour, I’ll take <$3/ ball over almost $5/ball. Just as I was going to switch to trying out some DTC balls.lol. Guess that’s on the back burner for a while- I really should burn through the ever-increasing stock of balls in my garage. 

 

After returning to golf a couple of years ago I went through a number of hybrids and FW woods to bridge the gap between 3W and 5-iron. After buying a few 3H and 4H and not clicking with them, my coach let me try some options and I settled on a TM Stealth Plus 3H (used more as a driving iron replacement and rescue for unconventional shots) and a TSR2 7W.
The TSR2 7W with 75g x-stiff shaft is my favorite club right now. I can fly it high with a descent angle of a 6/7-iron or punch it like a 5W. Stock shot is ~220yds high flighted, but if I punch it I can easily see ~240yds with a lower 5W-like flight.
The 3H I have adjusted to 18* (19.5* is standard) and I mostly use it off the tee as a fairway finder. With it de-lofted, off the deck is a low flighted shot. It's great in strong wind! I have a P790 2UDI that I'm offloading as the Stealth+ is such a flexible and easy to hit club. I have an ~85g Hzrdus RDX Red x-stiff shaft in that. It's pretty close to 5W territory in distance, but an overlap with the 7W. Stock tee shot is around 230yds. Unlike the other hybrids I tried, my stock shot is straight to gentle fade with the Stealth+. I can easily hit a draw with it, but it's not the default shape like it was with the others.
I dabbled with a Stealth 2 Plus 4H (22* loft I think), but the 7W is just a far better fit for me personally.
As I'm so happy with the combination of 3H and 7W, I switched out my TSR2 3W for a TSR2+ '2'W (13*, adjusted to the lowest hosel setting @12.25*). I use it as a mini-driver really. The courses I mostly play on benefit from using it off the tee fairly regularly. Distance is a nice fit between driver and 3H (240-260yds). I haven't had the need to hit it off the ground at all yet as the 7W usually has enough range to get on the green, or a good layup distance, on most of the par 5s I play.
For reference: My driver CHS is 105-110mph right now. End of last year it was consistently 110-112mph, but after a couple of injuries I'm getting back up there.
Not sure if this helps, it's just what has worked for me personally. Good luck figuring it all out! I hope you can find a quick solution without buying and selling a bunch of clubs.lol

Just a quick update. 
Tried the rear weight to one notch from Neutral based on the Titleist fitter.  It works in keeping the left out of play but  I lost 10-12 yards and did open my drives more to the right. 
So went back to neutral this week and I like the way the Autoflex is working for me on drives. 

I have a full set of size XS grips and a 14 way bag and don’t have issues. With my bag in particular you can go up one more size without issue, but it’s possible two sizes bigger would be too much. I have been recently looking at bags as well. and I definitely have seen some 14 way bags that are too small at the top for my grips. so you will definitely have to pay more attention and I would say it would make it harder to buy a bag just seeing it online if you’re looking for a 14 way bag especially is you have the Medium or larger sizes.

I was pretty happy with my weekend round. As a high handicapper, it wasn’t a perfect round and it took me a few holes to get into a groove, but I was generally hitting the ball decent and straight off the tee, my approach was good, with mostly good connections and shot shape, and my putting was probably my best this season. Looking forward to the next round! 

@IndyBonzo and @Preeway
 

I'll let both of u know how it goes!

Went out on the second shotgun, but as I was the only golfer there wasn't much of a shotgun. Might be the 107 degree temperatures at the time deterred the rest of the playing field. Was working on making a consistent turn. I kept my legitimate score and shot a crappy 47 (ten over) with one double and no pars on the back nine where I started. Turn wasn't the trick. 
Changed my focus for the next nine. Instead of trying to the turn right, I went for getting the feeling of the turn right. And, that did the trick. On the front nine I shot a one over 37 with one birdie. 
That "feeling" I can feel as I sit here and write. I will take it to the Wild Bunch round tomorrow!

What a day today! 2nd round of the 36 hole Senior Men's Club Championship and I started the day 3 back after a sloppy 78 Saturday.
Hit 8 fwys - the five I missed, missed in the first cut. Never in any trouble all day.
15 GIR - best approach game I've had in more years than I can remember. I think 15 is the most greens I've ever hit in a round!
3 birdies- 12 ft, 8 ft, 6 ft
1 bogey- let a slick downhiller get away from me and couldn't hole the come backer.
The 3 greens I missed, front fringe, pin high left fringe, 4th shot on a par 5 from 76 yds out to 12 feet. Made pars on all.
81 ft of putts made
30 putts.
Looked at the leader board all day and took over the lead by myself on 10 and finished the back and the day at -2, 69!
Won the tournament by 5 shots.
It was a mentally challenging day all day, but I figured out the difference between Saturday and Sunday. I was cutting my follow through short on Saturday and not hitting my finish. Did that all day on Sunday and had just a spectacular day and result.
FORE!

I played a new track today...
Lansbrook Golf Club in Palm Harbor, FL
the best shot of the day was this dart on #4 with an 8i from 146 within 3.5 feet...and this beauty on #6...

Managed to get out for 9 this morning, but it was a sweaty affair. ~80f at 0900 was fine, but not so much the 87% humidity.
Maybe it was the humidity, but I just wasn't comfortable and didn't feel like the swing was consistent and I made a couple of silly club decisions resulting in wrong distances and awkward recovery shots, short-sided chips or long first putts.
Par 36: Score 40 (+4); FIR 2/7; GIR 5/9; Putts 18 (ave 1st putt distance to pin 27.2ft!)
First round with the new Scotty putter and GP reverse taper pistol grip. Greens were rolling very slow after a lot of recent rain. I was putting on line consistently, but didn't quite get the pace right. Even downhills were pulling up very short. But I did hole a few good putts and had two disgusting lip-outs. Having an average 27ft first putt really didn't help my stats, so I'm not unhappy. I'm not going to see many 1-putts with that stat. Last few rounds I've averaged between 7.4 and 19.2ft 1st putt distances according to Arccos. After the round I spent some time on the practice green working with the Scotty.
Driver was mostly behaving. Longest drive was 312yds from an elevated tee with a light breeze from behind left. Unfortunately, that drive leaked right into trees and I had to punch out a low recovery shot to greenside rather than pin-seeking.lol
3W was on fire- used twice... first off the tee on a par 4 with a creek at my driver distance, hit a smooth 3W with a baby fade and finished at 240yds. Second use was an up-hill 250ish Par 4: A full, well struck shot ended up just off the back edge of the green. Two putts for my only birdie.
Chipping was ok, but not great. Weaker than usual and distance control wasn't as good as usual. One of those days.
Hopefully I'll get out on the range/ practice greens again before league on Thursday.
Hope you've all had a good weekend!

Was able to get out and play early this morning at a local private club. I was coming down off of a 101° fever with body aches and chills the night before with full intention of bailing in the morning. Luckily I woke up feeling 100x better and made the 7:24 tee time. 
Then I proceeded to take a quad 8 on the first hole… sounds about right…. I was able to claw my way back with a couple birdies on the front and one on the back for an 83. This round could have easily been a lot lower had it been for the quad and 2 doubles. I definitely didn’t have my normal game all things considered but am okay with the score. Overall I had 21% FIR, 44% GIR, and 32 putts.
I’ve been putting pretty consistently lately averaging 30-32 putts per 18 holes which always helps. I just need to get my driver and tee balls to fall in line and the scores should come down back into the 70’s 

Played in our club’s member/guest this weekend and while the format had to be modified a bit, my uncle and I had a great time. We had heavy storms last night, tons of trees and branches down, standing water on the course and in bunkers, and matches just were not playable today. 
So they skipped matches and went straight to the alternate shot shootout. We earned 2.5 points in three matches yesterday which won our flight and got us into the shootout. First hole my uncle hit our tee shot and it ended up a bit right. I had 76 yards to the pin but a tree in the way. Punched a 6 iron perfectly and we had a birdie putt, ended up with a par and moved on. I had the tee on the next hole and unfortunately fanned one OB, which effectively knocked us out. Haven’t done that in weeks, but I think nerves and my own head got to me a bit. 
Overall, it was truly a GREAT weekend of golf. In 27 holes Saturday, I shot 42, 43 and 44, hit 6/6 greens on Par 3s (a weakness of mine in the past) and parred every one, closed out our first match and won multiple holes throughout the day. Driver was more good than bad Saturday, too, just couldn’t keep it going. One of my 2024 goals was to make the shootout this year, so I can check that one off the list! Already looking forward to next year’s event. Now it’s time to keep the steady play going and hit my goal of breaking 80. After this weekend, I think I can do it before season’s end. 

I think that's the one thing I have learned this year, is that I have to trust the system and not be concerned about what should/shouldn't work.  I really saw that in my latest iron fitting. 

Congratulations!

Congrats on the round!
