I hear and feel your frustration, but tech companies will always create new and latest product. When Whoop updated their product last year, they offered members to upcycle the older tech to friends. Friends would get a free trial and upgraded members got a month extended. That's a better solution, which increases new people to test before enrolling into a subscription. BTW, I hate buying new TVs and cars for the same reason. There's always a new version around the corner.

I finally got my new SM9 wedges from Wedgeworks and installed the remaining two smart grips to activate the membership. Unlike @goaliewales14activation issues, my iPhone recognized the free membership at checkout. Also, swapped out the included putter sensor with the updated P3 sensor. The smaller P3 design fits better on my pistol style grip. I am stoked to post rounds and check out my numbers. I'm going to use my Apple Watch and keep my iPhone in the bag. Is the watch tracking better than the phone?

More golfers should consider getting fitted for a 7 wood. I play the Titleist TSi2 21° (7 wood), which launches high without missing left (Hook) vs hitting hybrids.

I played in Marquette last summer at Greywalls and the course has some of the most spectacular views. Check it out.

Printed Yardage Books
Play18 replied to GolfSpy MPR's topic in Training Aids, GPS Devices, Apps, Accessories & More!
I collect yardage books and love to use them than using SkyCaddie or other iOS GPS apps. I'll even splurge and get Strakaline books for special courses. -
I love wearing my Jordan 1 low, 4s and 5s, but think the Footjoy Premier Series- Field and Packard are the best walking golf shoes.

Titleist Introduces Next General T-Series Irons
Play18 replied to Golfspy_CG2's topic in Shiny Metal
I was surprised to get the T200 with Modus 105 built, shipped and delivered in less than six weeks. The weather's been crummy in Chicago, but I enjoyed the feel of the new irons the last few rounds. -

Your not an idiot. A couple of members at my club bought 0211 ST and love them, too. I cannot believe the significant drop in price for the 0211 STs. Enjoy the new clubs!

How often do you purchase new wedges/do they really change year/year?
Play18 replied to Jon Diamond's topic in Shiny Metal
I play 75+ rounds/year and play with Vokey SM8 52° and 58°. I ordered the SM9 wedges and will integrate them into play by summer. -
What is a club you regret selling/wish you still had?
Play18 replied to Cory O's topic in General Equipment Talk
Scotty Black Oxide 009 Newport 350g. I sold it over 10 years ago and regret it to this day. -
The Chicago area has wonderful public golf courses, but playing less than four hours with bunkers NOT raked, divots NOT filled and pitch marks NOT repaired on greens made me switch to private play a few years ago.

I paid for my fitting at PGA SS and was fit by a certified OEM PGA professional. He applied my fee to the cost of my T300 irons. We spent 1.5 hours with different OEM irons, completed other static measurements, used the Foresight launch monitor and Mizuno shaft optimizer, too. I was initially skeptical about PGA SS, but going through the paid fitting session was 100% worth it. Next time you make an appointment, research your fitter's qualifications.

How many amateurs go with one golf brand in their bags?
Play18 replied to DukeStKing's topic in General Equipment Talk
I updated my 5 year old set of clubs and got all the latest Titleist driver, fairway, irons, (Vokey) wedges in my bag. And yes, I play with a Scotty Cameron, too. I enjoy playing my Titleist clubs this season and my performance has improved. It's just a personal preference for me. -
MCC and TV standard grips are back in stock on their website.

I finally received my fitted TSi2 16.5° and 21° fairway metals with GD Tour AD DI 7 and Fairways Hit improved immediately. The 21° FW launches higher than the TSi2 21° or 24° Hybrids and straighter than my old 915F or 915H clubs. I think more players should consider getting a higher lofted FW club.
