Each release will get a standalone thread at the appropriate time, but since these items are now in the wild with pictures/listings on the USGA Conforming list I thought it would be good to have some "pre announcement" discussion

I too was a grip hoe once. Different brands, textures, colors and even tried plus 4s
The grip that I finally settled on at the beginning of 2021 and will now use until the end of time, the goddamn standard GP Tour Velvet with just your standard one wrap of tape

Figured I’d add to this thread since it was only a few weeks old instead of creating a new thread. Even though I don’t watch everything, I still look to see what TXG puts out and had to watch this one. Anyone wanting to understand putter fitting, this is a great example. The key takeaway for me; sorry to spoil a little, was that you can’t always just take your specs and get a different brand that looks similar; there are subtle difference that change performance. SAM and CApto can do similar type things, although more focused on the club than the ball. No matter what system, I’d love to get a fitting like this!
Was just about to post a link to this video. So good
in the coming weeks I’ll be posting a “Fitting 101” thread where ill be housing videos from TXG and others regarding education on how to get the most out of a fitting

Just pre ordered my copy for my kids!

Sometimes Mom and Dad need to get away. The Golfer’s Zoo answers the age-old kid’s question; where the heck are Mom and Dad going when they take that big bag of sticks out and leave us for a few hours?
Sure, the golf course can be an adventure for parents, but it’s also a magical haven for animals to enjoy the sprawling fairways and relaxed watering holes that dot every golf property. From foxes to deer, turtles to sleepy owls, the golf course never disappoints and never bores us. The Golfer’s Zoo helps to show how much fun, nature, and animals are on a golf course, to ignite their imaginations and fuel a burgeoning interest in golf.
So help your kids understand the joys of golf, as they take a trip around 18 holes with Mom and Dad and say hello to all the animals that live on the course. They’ll never know what they'll see next!

Makes sense, but you may also want to go heavier in your 58 since the S flex will be lighter than the x flex.

So the Presidents cup with even less talent on the International side??
Absolutely not
The only way this would be remotely interesting would be if it was a mixed field (PGA and LPGA)

Welcome to to forum and great question. I suggest making a short list of what you are looking for out of a technology solution and then me or someone else here could help steer you to the right product!

So serious question: How do you intend to hit your scoring goals when you change equipment so much?
I used to do the same thing until I realized that constantly changing equipment, while fun, often hurt my golf game. Once I got my bag fit to me I stopped switching clubs and my handicap dropped too

Ha! I used iron covers for like 3 weeks when I got my set of srixon 545s. Was only going to use them for transport.
Those were dark times in my life that I don't really like talking about

Love, Love, Love my SM9's. I chose the tour chrome, but those brushed steels are B-E-A-U-tiful. As I start to replace them due to wear in the upcoming year (and probably add the 46*), I think I will be transitioning to that finish.
The brushed steel doesn't wear too well to my eye. It doesn't stay has "clean" looking as the Polished Steel, and it doesn't wear as evenly as the Black or Raw options

Laughable hole for me on Saturday.
Par 5. If you hit it far enough the ball hits a downslope and can really run out.
Well, with a little wind at the back, I did just that and hit the dry New Jersey soil and left myself a measly 117 yards into the green (almost a 400 yard drive!!)
had a straight forward gap wedge into the green -- which I prcoeeded to SHANK almost pin high into the adjacent fairway (ball flew over some tall native grass). I was pissed, but I grabbed my 58 and did the walk of shame to down to my ball. Had about 75 yards left and I could only see the top of the flag stick because the shot was so up hill.
Hit it to 4 feet and made my birdie. Just how I drew it up on the tee box!
Drive of a life time, shank, incredible lob wedge, tap in birdie!

So you by any chance have the steel shaft that it used to have?

Right on, I think I looked at a place in Hillsborough. We just moved a little north of New Brunswick, my wife is a professor at Rutgers and I work in the city. Lately I’ve been playing most of my rounds at a 9 hole trek called Hyatt Hills. I like Rutgers and Galloping Hills too, but I’m looking for suggestions honestly.
Somerset County has some great courses. Neshanic Valley is awesome. Quail Brook is a good time, as is green knoll. Mattawang in Montgomery is always in great shape (I worked there over 20 years ago when I was in HS). Heron Glenn on Route 202 in Flemington is fantastic.
My “home course” is Mercer Oaks in Mercer County

Ok, should have done this long ago, but no time like the present I guess. Love the community here, and would love to join in more.
- How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
I started playing as a youngster, around age 5. Played all through high school, but slowly tapered off in college as golf lost out to other interests, namely, rock climbing. Then my daughter was born 3 year ago, and now I’m back at it. Grint App tells me that I am an unofficial 7 hcp, I think, and trending down, I hope.
- What do you love about golf?
I love being outside, the conversation and low-key competition that golf brings between friends and personally. I’ve walked a lot in the woods and I’d say I disagree with the “good walk spoiled” sentiment.
- What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
I needed to know what was up after a long break.
- Where are you from? What is your home course?
Born in Chicago, made my way to New Brunswick, NJ. I play at all the muni’s around me.
- What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
the access to decent courses is impressive. The price of admission is tough.
- What do you do for a living?
Practice law
- How’d you pick your user name?
My parents did that.
Yes! Another central Jersey muni guy! Let’s me up for a round!

I got an ER2 with 3 dots (33 inch) because I found the 34 inch too light and I was putting lights out at the store with the 33. Played today and had 20 putts on the 18 on the back- had a little trouble with the heft and lag putts. Felt better on the back and my expectations were not too high as I didn’t practice with it on real greens.
So what I’m wondering is if I lengthen it an inch that should bring the swing weight down a bit? Or should I go back to the store and get the 34? Of course I could just practice more and get used to the 370 gram head- I wanted the extra weight because I love the gravity grip and the 355 gram felt too light. I’m leaning toward practice, practice, proactive- my only worry is that I won’t be able to exchange it for the 34 inch in 2 weeks.
Lengthening the putter will increase the swing weight and technically makes it feel heavier
So if you want it to feel lighter just go with the lighter head
As for length, don’t use length to play with swing weight. Length should be fit for your stance/stroke. Find the length that is most comfortable and adjust head weight based on what feels best for you
If you want a 33” putter with the two dot (370) or one dot (355) the you can order a custom putter from Evnroll
One Dot 355
Two Dot 370
Three Dot 385

Hello all, more on the beginners side,
I'm looking to add the ping ChipR to the bag, curious what other wedges i should have to pair with it, pitching wedge for sure, but which other ones, thanks for advice
Here is the thread for the ChipR!
That being said, it is important to understand your own game and what you are comfortable. I went from PW (45), 50, 54,60 to PW, 52, 58. I made this change because I am really comfortable hitting partial wedge shots so the big degree gaps between my PW, 52, and 58 dont really bother me.
There are others that have kept the same wedge setup and removed a club at the top of the bag.
Not a one-size-fits-all solution!

Tour Seeding Begins This Week for New Ping G430, Titleist ProV1s & Cleveland RTX6
in General Equipment Talk
Posted
I am still gaming the Ping G410 LST and no driver even slightly encourages me to switch. I actually liked the G425 LESS than the G410 driver, but of course the G430 has my attention and I will be demoing it ASAP.
ProV1 is my gamer so curious to hear what they changed with my favorite ball!
Cleveland just goes about their business making great wedges and glad to see a continuation/expansion of their Tour Rack program.
