  1. There are w few who have inquired about golf only. As @cnosil said. We wont know about adding those until the stay and play oackage js full need 2-3 more for that. Keep checking here as we ger closer to see if that opens up.
  2. Glad you found one that worked for you. I will have some more updates by the end of the week.
  3. Ok this will take a bit. Not enough time tonight and busy with Titleist all tomorrow. So maybe by Wednesday. which gives me time to add a set or two
  4. CARLSBAD, Calif. (Mar. 10, 2024) - Scottie Scheffler won his second Arnold Palmer Invitational behind an impressive bogey free five-stroke victory with his Qi10 8.0° driver and new Spider Tour X putter. It’s his seventh PGA TOUR victory, all coming since 2022 and with TaylorMade drivers and irons. Scottie Scheffler Qi10 Driver After extensive testing at home prior to Bay Hill and during practice rounds, Scheffler put his Spider Tour X L-Neck putter in play for the first round. Entering Sunday T1, Scheffler dominated on the greens by leading the field in Strokes: Gained Putting for the final round behind going 17-for-17 on putts inside 15-feet. He backed that up with leading the field for the tournament in SG: Off the Tee with Qi10 8.0° driver. Scottie’s Spider Tour X Spec Hosel: L-Neck Length: 35.5’’ Sight Line: True Path with Full Line Loft: 3° Lie: 72° Insert: 80/20 Pure Roll Grip: Golf Pride Pistol In testing, True Path alignment with a full sight line freed Scottie up to not have to use an alignment aid on his golf ball. The technology behind Spider Tour X allowed him and his coach to rely on his natural talent without having to modify technique. Between True Path and high MOI stability of Spider Tour X, he felt free on off-center hits and noticed a considerable increase forgiveness in testing. Scottie Scheffler Spider Tour X The build from our TaylorMade tour reps paid dividends as Scottie posted three consecutive rounds of positive Strokes Gained Putting starting with the second round.  Scottie’s last 10 results when gaining positive strokes putting include four wins, a T2, solo 3rd, T3 and T4 (not in a particular order). Scottie Scheffler's Winning WITB Qi10 8.0° driver Qi10 15.0° 3-wood P·7TW 5-PW Spider Tour X Scottie’s Qi10 Driver Spec: Head: Qi10 8.0° Measured Loft: 8.25° Loft Sleeve: Upright (1.5° Sleeve) Shaft: Ventus Black 7X Length: 45’’ Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 58 Rib Tapes: 6 Swingweight: D4 STATS BEHIND THE WIN The stats behind Scheffler’s win show how impressive of a win this was for the World No. 1. For the final round: 1st in Strokes Gained: Total (+7.155) 1st in SG: Putting (+3.892) 1st in Scrambling (100% 6/6) T1 in Birdies Made (6) 2nd in Putts per GIR (1.5) 2nd in SG: Off the Tee (+1.981) 3rd in Total Putts (24) T7 Driving Accuracy (10/14) T10 Greens in Regulation (12/18) For the tournament: 1st in Strokes Gained: Total (+16.492) 1st in SG: Off the Tee (+5.046) 1st in Putts Per Green in Regulation (1.58) 1st in SG: Around the Green (+3.786) 2nd in Greens in Regulation (50/72) T2 in Birdies Made (20) 5th in Strokes Gained Putting (+4.347) T6 in Total Putts (27.00) ADDITIONAL NOTABLE STATS Scheffler was 17-for-17 on putts inside 15-feet in the final round. Since the 2022 Phoenix Open, Scottie Scheffler leads the PGA TOUR in wins, top-5s, top-10s, Greens in Regulation, SG: Approach and SG: Tee-to-Green. Scottie’s scoring average so far this year is 67.32, nearly a full stroke better than his scoring average of 68.26 in 2023 which was the second-best scoring average in PGA TOUR history. Scheffler has finished in the Top 10 22 of 29 starts in the last two years (76% of starts) and has finished in the Top 10 for 41% of his starts on the PGA TOUR. Scottie’s last 10 results when gaining positive strokes putting include four wins, a T2, solo 3rd, T3 and T4. On the 11th hole on Saturday, Scheffler was 6-back of the lead and finished 10-under in the last 24 holes to claim the victory.
  5. Oh i will. And the Blueprint S because why the hell not
  6. They look awesome, we shoudl be getting our fitting cart heads for both these and the G730's. A good trial will be done on both an my order will be...................................
  7. Totally subjective. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The looks don't bother me at all, the ability to move between heads far outweighs that, and if anything my swing speed has gone up a notch. And granted it's only been a week, but having hit over 100 shots with it on two different heads, I haven't had it break yet.
  8. So an update for this week: TLDR-Callaway was surprisingly fast! The PING and TM still very good Monday: Played my first 18 hole round of the year and took out the PING with the GD VR shaft and the Qi10 with the GD QC shaft that I ordered it with. Had a really good range session with both of them, nice maybe 3 to 5 yard fades with both of them, and while I didn't have a LM out they both appeared to be carrying around the same distance. Front 9 TaylorMade Qi10-Graphite Design QC 5 R I decided I'd play the Qi10 the front 9 and the G430 10K on the back, and use my GPS to measure the distance of each drive. I can't make this up, but the first hole, Qi10, I hit what felt like one of my best drives in a while, and judging by my playing partners reaction he thought so too. He typically drives it 235 to 245, and as I mentioned up front 215 is a good drive for me now days, with most topping out 195 to 205 range. As we were driving to the shots, I could see they were closer than I expected, and I knew he had hit a good one his self. Sure enough the GPS clocked mine at 227. The longest drive I've had since at least last summer. I'd love to say the front 9 featured 6 more of those, but in reality only one came close it was 214 on a slightly uphill hole, though. Most were in the 196 to 204 range but I only missed one fairway and that was on 9 when I really tried to reach back and kill it! But it was totally playable in the right rough. Back 9-PING G430 10K-Graphite Design VR 5 Most of the 9 was like the front nine, very straight and in play...which is what this driver is about, it's not touted for outrageous distance. But I did really flush one on 17 and it checked in at 216 on a pretty wet fairway, so not much roll at all. So both drivers did what they are supposed to do, go straight, and not lose distance on shots not on the sweet spot. I think I can safely say I had some drives with both drivers that would have probably been 10 to 15 yards less with some of the non `10K drivers. Tuesday Range-Callaway AiSmoke Max Graphite Design VR 5 Very rainy day, but decided to get a very short range session in with this club, as I feel like I've neglected it during to this point in the shootout. Mainly due to some not great early shots with it and the stock set up. But as I said earlier about the PING and the Graphite Design....it made this driver come alive. I set the Full Swing LM up and only hit about 15 balls with it and 10 to 12 with the QI10. The Callaway really shined. I was getting ball speeds in the low 122 and 123 on a lot of my drives, and the ones that I didn't were in the 118'ish range. I hadn't gotten 120 plus on the LM again since last summer. I know that's a good 7 iron speed for most, but for me that has been living in the mid to high teens, it's hope that my goal of 130 is not impossible. But also of note, is the Smoke Ai had a little draw going, and the ones that didn't went straight to a very small 5 yard fade again. If you have seen any of the Callaway marketing adds, you see the face with all the different face impacts showing the +gains in each of them. I am generally a High Toe miss when I do, and I can tell you I had a couple of those, and that where the 114 or 115 ball speeds came in, where they might have been 110 to 111 on other drivers. And the ball maintained it's lne, so it would have been totally playable. It made me very eager to get this driver on course to test, which I plan to do next week.
  9. Take a look at my Driver Shootout thread, it's really just getting started. I'll come back and post the hyperlink here. My swing speed is a bit less than yours, 82 to 85 on most. Currently, I'm testing the Qi10, G430 10K Max, Callaway Ai Smoke Max and have the Cobra Darkspeed X on the way. I will say they are all very good. I've already seen shaft make the big difference between them. For example, the Callaway AiSMoke with the stock Tensei 55G Black, was just ok. But once I put the GD VR in it, it was a totally different driver, same with the PING 10K, the Taylormade already had a Graphite Design in it. I personally would skip CC, they will fit you for what they can make the most money off of not what fits you the best. If yo happen to live near a 2nd Swing or True Spec, they are legit and will make sure you get fit properly.
  10. Yeah, the old threads can pop up now and then. Whenever I see a new topic come up that already has some responses t it, I'll check out the date to see if's an old one that someone has broujght back, as I burned once by not doing that in the comment I made about it. But it's nice actually to see some old topics come up as we have had such huge growth in the last 2 to 5 years it gives a whole new audience a chance to chime in.
  11. I think I replied to your email earlier. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope you can make it.
  12. Wow a 4 nearly 5 year old thread. Sent me down memory lane, I really miss that combo of AP1/AP2, I think the 718 AP2 are some of the best looking irons I've ever had. But yeah, just like Crossfield, if you read my post on the previous page from when this thread originally posted, I had two 7 irons, the AP1 was 30 and the AP2 was 34. It also shows how 5 years ago we were talking about "loft jacking" --I hate that term-with a 30 degree 7 iorn---now Titleist and others are at 28 with a 7 in the T350--so it continues
  13. In theory it would make sense to do that and in some ways eliminate confusion. But it would also confuse the occasional or avenge player, who really doesn't pay attention to lots. They don't know how far a 32 degree iron should go, but they know how far a 7 iron should go. Even through you and I know 7 irons can range between 28 and 34 degrees depending on the model and company. But golf companies make equipment for the masses, not the 1% of golfers that are forum addicts John Barba has written a couple good articles on this discussion.
  14. Option 2, the T350 in the longer irons and the T200 in the scoring irons. Unless you are a unicorn and want less forgiveness in your longer irons and a bigger chunkier feel in your short irons
  15. I found Niemann's bag for his LIV win interesting from this weekend. Nothing unsuaul up top with the LST Driver and Max 3 wood, and nothing unusual about the Blueprint irons. But the middle part of the bag, read below about the G430 7 wood and G430 5 hybrid! A 7 wood and Hybrid...He's one of us!! Also see that he has the new S159's in the bag, and I highly endorse that, I'll be posting some thoughts on these, today.
