Have a Titleist Hybrid 14 and love it. I think I would have trouble with less than a 14 way just because I like to have everything in it's place and know at a glance where everything is. Occasionally a playing partner will pick up a wedge or something greenside and put it back in the wrong spot, and I absolutely have to fix it before the next hole.

Maybe Andretti will pick him up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good Morning All! Finally felt good enough to get a morning workout in again, felt great after the better part of a month off. 29 degrees and busy today, hoping for golf this week may have been ambitious between weather and getting things running for the new year. We will see. Have a great day!

Adding Yoga once a week has been one of the best things I have done for my workout regimen. Having more flexibility is great for my swing, reduces pain from sitting in a chair at the office, and it does a great job building your stabilizing muscles that get neglected otherwise in my experience. Good Luck!

Happy New Years spies! Weather is gloomy today, getting some furniture shopping in, then watching the winter classic this afternoon. Golf later in the week I hope! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just saw this, it's been an interesting month. I am still back and forth a little bit, but at this point I think the LeanLock will be in my bag for winter play. I have found it is much easier to control when the greens are more unpredicatble and I am getting better results than my Oddysey. I am hoping it translates to some good strokes gained once the seaspn starts for 2024.

Personaly 2023 was a pretty rough year. Had some long term issues from Covid earlier on in the year, then managed to get it again, on top of a lot of family drama that we are still dealing with. Currently dealing with walking pneumonia after week 3 of a respritory infection. That being said, I am finally seeing good results from the PT for my shoulder injury. Also started the process of building a house, which has been an experience! Professionally, we are setting up for 2024 to be a major growth year, looking at opening multiple new stores, and some major shakeups in out staff as we have people retiring and some new people stepping in who are passsionate about our plans. Golf wise, I started to finally see drops in my handicap, getting down to 19. I am seeing real progress in both driving and putting, which were my downfalls through the last year and I have a goal of getting below 15 for next year. Have loved my time on MGS this year, and was grateful to be a tester!

You're asking a different question than is being answered. It isn't about gapping your irons, it's "Am I getting what I should out of this specific club, given my swing speed?" If you swing your 7 at 80MPH, but are only getting the ball 130 yards instead of the ~152 he is calculating, maybe it's time to look at swing mechanics, contact, or iron fit. Having a metric to help determine if you are getting the most out of your investment is very helpful.

Same here! It was a ton of fun testing and getting to try something really new on the market

Driver: Callaway Mavrik. Safe, for now. Working well the last few rounds. 3 Wood: Getting cut, hard to hit well and doesn't fit a gap in the bag. 5 Wood: Mizuno ST-Z. Safe, solid 215 club, easy to hit from the tee, fairway, or rough. Irons: Titleist T300 5-PW. Safe, very safe, easy to hit, long, and fitted new last summer. Wedges: Mizuno T22 52, 56, Vokey 60. Mizuno's safe, Vokey may be leaving by virtue of being a 60, and I have come to terms with it being a liability lately. Putter: LeanLock Blade/ Oddyssey Strokelabs One. Still back and forth, LeanLock has been working better lately. Looking to add a hybrid to my bag to possibly fill out the top between 5 Iron and 5 wood a little better.

Agreed. Have the team go out and defend softly. There were ways to achieve this without vacating the court.

Got around 100 balls at the range today. Started out really rough as I haven't played near enough over the last month. Worked on shallowing out my swing plane and making center contact with the face. After about 40 balls it really started to click, and I felt I was making much better contact with my irons and woods. Finished out hitting full swing with 9-7-5 irons and 5w and driver. Made a good 25 solid dead straight shots and got my driver out to 230 into a decent headwind. Hopefully get to play this weekend and see if I can translate it onto the course.

My course uses winter tees that aren't zoysia, and may actually close off the tournament tees, but I'd have to double-check as I never play from them anyway. The course is cart path or walking only between Nov 15 and April 15, and the championship course closes on weekdays for that time period as well.

Awesome, Glad to see this up! Thank you for the testing opportunity!

My wife doesn't play much, but grew up around it with both her mom and dad on leagues and grew up taking lessons. She has some issues with a fused disc in her back, so she likes to go out with me and hits whatever she feels like, and often just throws something on the green near me to prove she's still a better putter than I am even though she never touches a putter outside those days. We go most Sundays in good weather, and over the summer we often play a round then go to the pool. It's a fun time and gets us both out of the house.

Good Morning All! It's been a while, work has been absolutely nuts and some major family issues have kept me offline for what feels like weeks. Good news is I may actually get to golf on Sunday! Hope you all have a great week!

Agreed! Started planning a trip to Spa instead!

No way was I getting to Vegas this year. When the tickets went up and it was a $10k trip minimum for my wife and I. Looking at ticket prices for next year, we may be able to do it if we can get a decent rate at a hotel. I've done Indycar, and that was great at about $275/person for great seats, would be okay with $500 for F1.

Rough day yesterday. It didn't warm up like I initially thought it would, wound up being about 53 and a slight breeze. Kept clubbing up because I neither of us playing could hit our usual distances. Got out too late to finish 18 so finished up at 47 for 9. Then left my sunglasses in the cart, hoping they find them today. Putting went well though, no three putts!

My sleeve came in this afternoon! Starting with some putting today and tomorrow. Will get some short game practice in with them this week. Hoping to get some simulator time before I ultimately take them out and risk them disappearing on me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking forward to testing! Looks like I’m getting a FedEx package Wednesday so hoping that is the test balls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My club is known for having some of the best practice facilities in the area. Huge grass driving range, covered heated bays on one side, TurfHound mats for winter usage, indoor simulator during the winter, nice short game and bunker practice areas, and four practice greens. Range balls are TP5's, which is nice. Also known for having fast, well-kept greens throughout the year. We get a lot of manufacturer days as well, which are great to try things out throughout the season. Our dining/bar/pool is good, but nothing exceptional. New chef is trying to change that, though. The club really has a reputation of being a golfer's club more than a social one.

My bag has two velcro pads to hang gloves off of, so in the summer I rotate gloves every two or three holes.Throw the one I had on on the pad and wind up with three gloves in rotation most rounds. I retire gloves when they get a hole or the fingers get to stretched out. Loose golf gloves do not feel good to me at all. As for balls, I am just now starting to keep them long enough to be an issue. If I feel like it’s getting too scratched up, I throw it in a side pocket of my bag and clean it up/inspect when i get home and make a decision there. Or I use it if I'm not feeling good about the water carry.

Yes, part of it is the ever present race for distance. That being said, the loft on my old x-forged was 34*, the loft on my T300 is 29*, but the launch and descent is significantly better on the T300 despite the stronger loft. My x-forged descended at 35*, the T300 at 47*, which means easier to hit and stick greens. We get a little caught up in loft, but that is a fraction of what is important.
