Looking for input on Driving Iron shaft recommendations. Currently gaming an Icrossover 3 iron with a hzrdus rdx red 6.5 in it. Shaft is a little on the whippy side for me. Looking for something a little firmer in the mid section. In my fairway woods/ Driver I tend to prefer a stouter blue board shaft, but don't need something quite as stiff as the hzrdus black (what is currently in my stealth plus 3 hybrid that I will rotate into the bag). Currently gaming a Hzrdus Blue PVD TX in my driver, and the retail hzrdus blue 6.5 70g in my 3 wood.
Thoughts on something like a Graphite Design HB? Im a tinkerer, so I'm not opposed to trying something new for a while.
RB did say it is hard for us to give you a definite answer, however doesn't mean we should ignore the question so here is my stab at it!
I use(d) the evenflow black. It is stiff and plays stiff. I think this could be exactly what you are looking for and shouldn't be overly difficult to find for a decent price eithier! -
Daily Deal! Dicks Sporting Goods
We know they have got a lot of run in our deals section, but there is reason for that. The Maxfli golf balls deal is still going with a 2 for $60 and there are various other deals which many spies have taken advantage of!
This is more of an fyi, but we are really impressed to see and can't wait hear about all the spies who have purchased the new PUTTR AI putting system.

eBay used to be great. Haven't used it in forever though. Sites like golf partner USA. Callaway pre owned and others have just as good if not better deals. Imo

I know there are probably some spellings or nuances in the article that we could split hairs over. BUT I would like to say lets just be happy it is on the main site and the forum is being recognized
V2 graphics were uploaded by accident. Stuff happens from time to time. Resolved now.

With some 40 plus opportunities I am sure it won't be an immediate slam dunk on what was everyones favorite. Obviously testers involved with certain tests will have bias towards those, but I would encourage you to think outside of the ones you took part in! What was your favorite and standout member test for you this season?
I am sure I will miss something, but we had the following this year
Iron Sets... and lots of them
Drivers
Long Game clubs
Wedges highlighted from DTC companies
Putters
Golf Balls
Golf Bags
Golf Carts... and accessories
Tech Devices including PLM
Grips
Golf Gloves
Rain Gear
Apparel
Apps
Golf Mats
And more!
Lots to choose from!- bens197, GolfSpy_BEN, GolfSpy_SHARK and 5 others

Daily Deal: Malbon Golf Apparel Free Shipping
While not the most exciting in terms of deal off, Malbon has some extremely unique and classic looks which aren't seen as often.

also i’d like to find a tensei white or kaili white for low launch/ spin reasons. do you know which is more stable of these?
Check out these. I think you'll find that will help get the spin started in the right direction and then you can work with what head and shaft will work. While shaft will influence spin, it won't necessarily take away spin.

I use Pro v1 and whatever i find on course. Try to only use premium balls but whatverr i can get. I plan to sell the gamer and get a callaway rogue st td for affordability. would you recommend? or get the max ls?
I didn't really love either. Wanted to but didn't work for me. How that is me.
As long as you can hit them prior and see done data points then go for it!
The ball makes such a massive difference on spin and so much more. If you can stick to one ball, try the maxfli tour X if you are a high spin player. Pretty sure if you check the deals tab up top in the gray. Go to dicks sporting goods you can get 4 dozen for less than $100.

What golf ball do you play? That will play a massive role in spin. Where are your strike locations?
Sim plus or whatever it was called will be lower spinning. I am similar to you, but went with the Paradym Triple Diamond and it is a wonderful lower spinning head.It will be very hard to say one thing or another with any certainty. Start trying to see if a different ball may help, if not then look at lower spinning heads (non max versions) but be sure to test and try them first if possible!

I wish the survey had asked the million dollar question of will you follow the new rule in 2030.
I answered it as if I would but I most certainly won't. My guess is that this will change by then but should it remain the same I simply won't play by the rules and won't maintain a handicap at that point.
I play golf for fun - losing 7 or so yards off of driver and a like number off of irons is not helpful in that regard. I don't' hit the ball far enough as it is and I'm as long as or longer than many of the people whom I play with, even those younger than me. They are taking what's not broke, in fact what is working the best that it has in decades and running the risk of ruining it.
Good luck
I can always do a follow up poll in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and then finally 2030

Definitely a fantastic thread to highlight! Thanks Rob.

Sadly, my initial enthusiasm was tempered when I opened the box and took the putter out.
There looks to be some type of grease or similar that was left either on the grip or got into the plastic bag that the putter came in and is now all over the grip. It has discolored the white of the grip, sadly.
I haven't reached out to LAB yet, but I will. I've wiped off the grip, but the yellow-ish residue is well into the grip by now and it's a little stickier than a normal grip would be. *sigh*
I will say, the headcover doesn't disappoint though. Thick, strong magnets, and really nice stitching.
More thoughts to come on the putter itself.
Thats too bad. I did notice the white on my grip changed color over time this season, but that is more due to regular wear and tear and use.

Yeah once I saw a photo of the red I couldn’t go boring platinum. It’s possible it won’t hold up to chips etc as well but hopefully I can take good care. I read a few bits of stuff about red being helpful for lining up putts due to the contrast with the green of a green, so figured why not try it out!
I love everything about that putter. The grip while I don't love white looks absurdly amazing.

2022 was the year of the Otto Phlex Thread. No question about that, 2023 I would argue was the year of the "The Good Morning Thread" with over 11k responses, 300k plus thousand views and more reactions that I could care to think of.
I am so happy to see a thread like that take off the way it does as for me it goes to show what this community is about and what we as staff strive so hard to achieve.
While it is a hands down slam dunk for me what thread was my favorite I want to hear from all of you! What was your favorite thread of 2023?

To sum it up, if you want less distance, don't try to regulate/block distance by rules on equipment but make distance less desirable by setting the courses and designing them in ways that stop rewarding the longest hitters who spread the ball. If they manage to be long and straight, good, they should be rewarded!
Unfortunately strokes gained argues against this in basically every measurement. Rough or no rough the closer it can be to the hole the better.
The grow the rough is also a tough one because of all the places that can't.
Finally while maybe not as important I think that the make the course different or change that puts pressure on the individual courses and adds to their financial burden.
I just think this whole thing is a no win for anyone.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when our forum article comes out!
