I understand why Evnroll went to weights - it really reduces your operating costs when you cut the number of different heads you need to mill by nearly 2/3rds, but I wish they looked different. As they are, they almost look like "prototype" heads where they were experimenting with adding weight ports, but hadn't finalized the asethetics. I know you never look at the bottom of the club at address, but it could potentially be a shelf appeal issue for prospective buyers. I do love the new squared off bumpers of the ER2. I don't like that they moved away from the Rocker sole; it really helped me set the putter behind the ball square. Surprised they took the ER1v (guess it would be EV1 in their new naming system) out of their lineup

To be fair, this is similar wear you can expect to see on any black finished putter, especially if it not DLC finished. Same goes for black steel shafts.

Ping. Nice and clean.

Sole has nothing to do with handicap and everything to do with angle of attack and low point control. Bounce is your friend and most amateurs are playing too little bounce. That is because most amateurs have poor low point control and are typically over the top. So yeah, wide sole wedges could really help an amateur, but not simply because they are "game improvement wedges". My favorite Vokey grind is the 12D, which is 12 degrees of bounce which is pretty high. I am a low single digit handicap with really good hands and I love manipulating the face around the greens. So why more bounce for me? Playing conditions. I often use my 58 from greenside rough and soft bunkers so the more bounce really helps me there. And I have no problem using it off tighter fairway lies either. I tried the M grind and struggle out of softer bunkers and deep rough. There are plenty of PGA Tour players that are gaming the Vokey K, D and other "high bounce" wedges. So what did I ramble on about? Bounce and sole width are not always a great indicator of GI/SGI. Do "GI" wedges tend to have more bounce and wider soles? Sure. They also have perimeter weighting which, to me, is the biggest indicator of a "GI " wedge. But simply states: Amateurs should always error on the side of MORE bounce

Most forgiving is relative - especially due to sole width and bounce. I would play more "forgiving" irons, but generally the bigger irons have wider soles and that is no bueno for a sweeper like me. Give me a thick soled iron and it is bottom groove city for me.

My 818H2 is the longest tenured club in my bag. Does literally everything I need. Left to right. Right to left. High. Low. 215. 235. Launch and spin on point. If it ever breaks, I'll be looking straight towards whatever Titleist has out at the time.

Little over 40 degrees here in NJ today and I haven't touched a club in two months while I rested my ailing wrist. My dad called me Saturday and asked if I wanted to play on Monday and I said sure , why not. Got some swings on some frozen range mats before the round and went to the first tee with zero expectations Was 6 over through 7, then rattled off 3 straight birdies. Ended up shooting +5 75. The swing felt great. The short game felt great. The putting felt as good as it could given the shaggy winter greens. But man, it felt good to get out there We were paired with a great dude named Ryan and we talked about golf courses and local golf. Great company and I hope he will be joining the forum soon!

Welcome to the site -- great to see another NJ golfer on here! MGS has often stated they don't like featuring smaller brands that cannot keep up with potential demands spikes that come from the extra exposure. This could be one of the main reasons why they have not gotten an play with MGS. EDIT; I just check out our link and they seem EXTREMELY small, and every product on their website, including the ability to place a deposit/pre-order, is listed as "Sold Out"

The CBs are absolutely stunning. Not feeling the Cobra woods line this year, but they knocked these irons out of the park.

Yeah Crossfield uses sarcastic click bait titles a lot and openly talks about how much he hates how predatory most golf instruction on YouTube is

Well it's a good thing our preferences and swings are different!

Love Cobra, but this seems like as generic a release as you see from a major OEM. It seems extremely safe, which is very odd for Cobra. And I hate the switch to glossy finish

I stopped watching Rick about 2 or 3 years ago when he go into the clickbait game. Finch does it too (not as much), so I have since unsubscribed to them both. Nothing against them as people, but they wanted to take their content in a different direction, so took my viewership elsewhere.

There is only one club I am interested in this year: Ping G430 LST

Fargiveness? I guess the guy that came up with Rocketballz-ier and Speed Police snuck back in the building

Check out @Philly Golf Guy's blog. He's lives near Philly but travels all over the country and plays some incredible courses. He's played in almost every state and his blog is full of amazing course reviews https://golfadelphia.com/

I know this isn't politically correct, but it sounds like a Women's line

That is TBD right now. One thing the ChipR did for me was act as a training aid of sorts. It forced me to hit low chip shots with a specific stance and a specific grip which is something I've never been able to do. I am contemplating play without the ChipR early in the season to see if I can get along with 13 clubs in the bag. If that works, I can see a driving iron in my future.

Added the latest Mark Crossfield video that was posted by @GolfSpy_APH

No Laying Up just posted their fitting from TPI and one of the things Soly kept saying was this was the first time he ever had a good fitting: One where it was education, fitting, and lessons all in one

I am in Mercer county, so mainly Mercer Oaks and the surrounding courses, but not against a little drive!

To me, the perfect training aids not only tell you when you are doing something wrong, but also teach you how to do it right (ie. Tourstriker PlaneMate)

Unfortunately their claims are mostly full of nonsense. If you poke around the internet you will see the company is shady, they reject any negative product reviews on their website, etc. Over on WRX, Steadfast joined the forum and started badmouthing other shaft companies. It got to the point where Fujikura even responded to them and called them out. Then a bunch of "new accounts" began joining the forum and positing on the thread with nothing but positive things to say about Steadfast -- clearly Steadfast employees or friends/family trying to help the company save face. Don't waste your money

Unfortunately this is golf in the US. Cart fees are what keeps most courses in the black. Sounds like your club has everyone taking carts factored into their budget, so therefore they need to collect that money from walkers as well so they meet their projected cash flow numbers. My least favorite part about golf courses in the US is the reliance on golf carts
