Clicked through the email in my inbox this morning, and I'm definitely intrigued. Been playing the Vice Pro Plus for a couple of years now and I'm very pleased. Given they produce a quality golf ball at a lower price point, I'm willing to bet these flat sticks are comparable to $400+ putters in quality and performance. Almost pulled the trigger on the mallet, but Ima wait for the reviews to come in.

BLUF: No, I don't carry a 5 iron. Even though I've been playing since I was 15 (and I'm 66 now), I came back from a 10 year layoff in early 2022. So I pulled my Ping i3 blades out of storage, knocked the dust off, and headed for the range. I quickly realized my days of hitting deadly lasers with my long irons were in the rear view mirror. 3 and 4 iron just weren't going to happen, and the 5 iron was running about a 20% acceptable rate. Luckily, my buddy at work (who nagged me for 3 years to get my clubs out and start playing again) also worked on Saturdays at our local golf store. He had already gotten me into a Ping G30 driver to replace my old TM driver from the late 90's. One weekend I went into the shop and he handed me a TM SIM2 MAX 5 hybrid and shoved me into the simulator. It's been in my bag ever since, along with a matching 4 hybrid I added a couple months later and a matching 3 hybrid I added two weeks ago (bye bye 7 wood). They're much easier to hit than the corresponding irons, fly higher, land softer, and give me infinitely more confidence. Longest iron in my bag now is a 6.

As a high handicapper, I'm looking for ANY help I can get to lower that number. This sounds like a practical extension of Dr. Bob Rotella's teachings, and sounds like a great tool to bolster that mindset (pun intended). Looking forward to hitting some of those TOUR B RX balls. Thanks Bridgestone and MGS for the opportunity.
