Alright guys here is what I’m seeing for scores. Please correct me if I’m wrong as I could miss something. @ZackS with a +7 differential @TylorJudd with an amazing -1 differential @KC Golf with a +9 differential @Jim Shaw didn’t say what he normally shoots but I’m assuming he is a +1 or 2 differential. Which means @Vegan_Golfer_PNW chose the right horse! Be in the lookout for a PM from me

Our only 2 guesses for this. We have 1 score posted already with @ZackSat +7. Can’t wait to hear how @KC Golf @Jim Shaw @TylorJudd fair with their irons.

Ready to give my thoughts on the Tour X. I purchased both the 21 version(by mistake lol) and then the new version. For me the 21 version was the slight favorite. I could easily play either as they were almost identical in every way for me except on partial wedges. The 21 version was a 1 or 2 hop and check whereas the 23 version required playing slightly more roll out. I also had the 21 version in Matte white vs the gloss of the 23 version. I liked the 21 version enough I gave the boxes of vice pro soft to my BIL and will be grabbing more MaxFli Tour X Matte White 21 balls if I can find them. For the price the MaxFli ball is hard to beat.

Just over halfway through the contest week. In order to try to gain some traction I’ll set the bar nice and low. Lol Insnuck out of work a little early to get my round in. My irons only round was a blah of a 45/46 for a 91. I have typically been in the 74-78 range this year in this course so that’s a +17 score. It could have been better but I couldn’t keep the 4-iron on the planet off the tee but as it turns out it is great for the bump and run when the wedge is missing! Lol

Just to clarify for everyone making a guess. The score is the stroke difference between what they would normally score with all clubs vs just the Takomos. Example being if I normally shoot 74 with all my clubs and I shoot a 90 with just the Takomos my score is 16 not 18.

No wedges. This is just your 4-PW Takomos and a putter. I figured we better keep the putter in there as I tried did just the irons a few years ago and putting with a 4-Iron was a disaster lol

Our first guess. I can’t tell if this means you have absolute faith in Tylor’s long iron tee game or zero confidence in his driver. Haha

Alright fellow spies it’s competition time!!!!!!! For those following along we are gonna have a small competition and contest. All the Takomo testers will be competing in an Iron and Putter only competition starting tomorrow 6/24 through 7/2. Testers can do as many iron/putter rounds as they wish in that time frame. Closest to their normal score wins a dozen of their preferred golf balls. Here’s the fun part for the community. In a post in this thread Members are allow to guess who will win and how close they can get to normal score. Correct winner and closest guess will win a mystery prize provided by me. As a tie breaker please include actually score for 18 holes. Disclaimer:This contest is run by me(Golfspy_BNG) not MGS. As such MGS and Takomo bare no responsibility. That said since this review was open to everywhere, this contest will be as well. I love competition so I will be joining the iron only round but am not eligible to be chosen. So who do you think is gonna win??? Edit: Just to clarify for everyone making a guess. The score is the stroke difference between what they would normally score with all clubs vs just the Takomos. Example being if I normally shoot 74 with all my clubs and I shoot a 90 with just the Takomos my score is 16 not 18.

Here is mine. I get plenty of funny looks but I love it. Covers my clubs when it starts to rain and extends to get balls out of trees and water.

Have you tried resizing it before uploading it. I take all my pictures on my iPhone and upload them. Now as a mod my limits are different but I had zero problems before that as well.

Red Rooster Sussex Review by GolfSpy_BNG First off let me thank Kerry and Brad at Red Rooster along with MyGolfSpy for the opportunity to test the Sussex glove. As I mentioned to Kerry on the video chat, I gave up wearing a glove a few years ago. They wore out too fast and were getting expensive to continue to replace multiple times a year. We discussed how pro golfers view gloves as a 1 round piece of equipment. He then went on to say that he uses 3 gloves during his round and changes them every 3 holes and uses the velcro on the glove box to let them air dry before returning to the first glove to start the back 9. First Impressions 10/10 It's hard not to be impressed by the presentation that was inside the brown shipping box. Inside the cool black box was 2-Sussex 1- Range Rooster and 1- Scots Silver gloves along with the glove box that clips to the bag for storage and drying. Since this review is for the Sussex glove I will concentrate on that one. Red Rooster really went all out. Aesthetics 10/10 I am a huge fan of a solid color glove with minimal ascent colors. The all white glove with only a "RED" Rooster on the velcro closure is pure class. The Fit and Feel 20/20 When talking with Kerry about sizing we were both pretty sure the cadet medium was gonna be right. It was the size I had used previously so it made sense to stay with it. When I put it on it was perfect. Feel wise it is thin, leather, and tacky. Everything you look for when gaming this style tour glove. The Sussex glove itself is as high quality as any tour glove out there. On the Course 30/40 This is a hard one for me to score. Had I tested this glove back when I was used to always playing with a glove the score would most definitely have been higher. I took Kerry's advice and rotated gloves every 3 holes. I had 2 Sussex gloves and as I wanted to keep the feel fresh in my mind I went holes 7-9 and 16-18 without one. This allowed me to judge/feel the difference between no glove and the Sussex. I did this for about 4 rounds and could definitely tell this was the secret sauce for getting any golf glove to last longer. Then to test the durability of the Sussex similar to how I used to play with a glove, I played with the same glove for the entire round, taking it off between shots and while putting. I did this for roughly 5 rounds and started to notice a wear pattern developing in my palm. This is my main wear spot and the main reason I gave up on gloves all together. Play it or Trade it 12/20 Ok this is probably a little harsh as I would have zero issues playing this glove and will most likely use it on rainy or high humidity days to help with grip. I love the feel of the glove but I have just become so accustomed to not using one that I am going back to no glove. Total Score 82/100 If you managed to read all that congrats. Your attention span is clearly better than mine! HeHe The Red Rooster Sussex Glove is everything someone wanting a tour glove could ask for. I have zero doubt that quality is second to none. Thanks again to Kerry and Brad at Red Rooster and MyGolfSpy for this opportunity.

It’s keeping me in it. Lol

For those curious about spin. The Takomo 101T’s have plenty. I’m not a high spin player with anything but the driver and these 101T’s not only stop on a dime, I managed to back up a 7-Iron 8-10 feet from 158.

+4 cut line and 91 as a high score

I played yesterday and today. Today was a struggle to turn through the ball. Cold and windy. Ball striking was still solid though. Managed 10 greens yesterday in route to a 74 and 9 greens today for an 82. The 9 greens today was an impressive number as I only hit 1 fairway off the tee today. As a club ho’ I tend to judge new clubs on their transition period and so far Takomo 101T’s have been plug and play. I’ll say this, I know it’s early with lots of testing left but the 6/7/8(my most used irons on course) have been money so far.

Hit a few shots yesterday into greens from different distances. The look at address is pure I have played many different Hollow Body irons and looks wise these definitely look the part. First official round tomorrow weather permitting and I’m really looking forward to it. 7-iron address picture

A tiny teaser from me as well then I’ll sit back and let the testers do their thing lol

It’s happening!
