Ventus blue 6s to mess with in the tsi2

As mentioned the evenflow black is a stiffer tipped blue. Similar EI profile. Which is why if the black is your better fit the riptide is probably going to be a bad fit. The hzrdus red is the same as the hzrdus black but with a softer tip. The pros were having trouble turning the ball over with the hzrdus black so PX softened the tip and called it red. To me the feel exactly the same and the ball flight was the same for me. I didn’t see higher launch or peak height with the red. The hzrdus yellow, smoke yellow (replacement for the original yellow) smoke blue(replacement for the smoke yellow), smoke green are all potential options. As is the tensei av blue. Keeps you in similar style shaft but slightly “softer” to help with ball flight

A few screen grabs of comparison between the two shafts and a screen grab of the club data from 1 shot of each. Noticed are deviation with the TR is better carry and total are the same even with some differences in speed, launch and spin. The club data is interesting is his face angle only changed .1° while his path with the TR was less from the inside. Also a couple degree change in loft and launch with roughly the same aoa.

The raw blue would probably be a good option

Not surprised that you were hitting slices with the hzrdus black and that it felt terrible. Pros had issues turning the black over. It’s a very boardy shaft with heft in then mid section. The white assuming it’s the av raw white has a soft tip for a low low profile shaft. If it’s the pro white it is built with a higher torque so feel is going to be a lot better in that compared to hzrdus. I haven’t hit the im10 but for maybe 5 swings while warming up so have no thoughts on it.

I think the op is talking about stock shots. Pros can hit various types of shots when the situation calls for it. ZJ is one of the few that always hits a draw no matter what.

Go back to what you were doing before your lessons and work on those things at the rangers ego develop the movement patterns again. What did the instructor have you change in your swing? How many lessons and how frequently did you take them with this instructor? How much time did spend working on the things your instructor had you doing differently?

You have to see what they are comparing it to. With no standard for flex any talk of it outside of the same shaft line in the same weight class doesn’t really mean much. If they are comparing to hzrdus line then yeah or could be soft to flex for alot of people. So context isn’t important. The hzrdus line in it initial version was designed purely for performance and PX didn’t consider feel in the design at all. When they designed the even flow like they still wanted to design for performance but also took into consideration feel. So it’s not a surprise someone would say that some evenflow shafts might feel soft to flex. As for the riptide shaft itself it is a good shaft and in the few times I hit it, it seems to be a lighter softer version of the even flow blue. Here are EI profile charts for both the riptide and blue. The black is similar to the blue with a stiffer tip. If you are more of a fit for the evenflow black the riptide is going to be a bad fit.

Exactly. The number of small nuggets in 22 mins are amazing. Talking about impacts on dynamic loft and what works for him. The control he wants to have in start line and movement of the ball from there

What new irons did they release? Have you asked what the hold up is with your set? It could be something as small as the grips you ordered are back ordered and you could swap for different grips. It could be the shaft which is affecting everyone shaft company right me and this every in company

Some interesting information in this one 1) no talk of torque 2) 13:42ish mark “shafts don’t spin, they can influence dynamics” 3) most of the talk was around weight (mostly overall weight) and feel along with start line and to an extent dispersion and the mention of flex 4) outside of the tensei 1k white in 50X all the shafts were in the 60g family

PEDs have a known benefit that’s why athletes in all kinds of sports use them. They know they will see performance enhancements, they will benefit immediately from it and while it may cost them in the long run somehow whether it be losing their opportunity to participate due to suspension, health issues including death from use/overuse or from side effects, they are looking T the short term gains which are financial. As for athletes getting Tommy John surgery early in the little I read about it in the past 1) it’s not a large number doing it 2) it’s has been based on what doctors know from those who needed it an asses that some might need this surgery at some point 3) they are doing it for long term health/career and not because they are going to be guaranteed to throw some number of mph faster or have improved control or any performance enhancements, it’s there to provide the potential to avoid it in the future while yes that could ne consider financial gain it’s from the perspective of longer playing career this more money earned. As for the future medical advancements are always being made, anyone alive knows that and with the amount of technology out there and the geniuses that work in medical r&d, r&d in tecnhical fields there’s going to be more advancements that help people. While I not anyone will know what the limits of medicine and/or technology will be it’s going to take someone having to go thru a procedure because something happened and then for others to see the results from that before we know the befits and capabilities.

Any surgery comes with risks and finding out what the advantages of one would be have to be tested. Which athlete is going to risk their career on an experimental surgery to improve by some unknown quantity. Lets look at baseball. There are some pitchers who come back after Tommy John surgery throwing with more velocity. But that’s not a guarantee. So a pitcher with slower velocity could take a ~18 months off to have the surgery and rehab and come back better thus earning more in their next contract. I doubt you get anyone voluntarily opting for any surgery with no guarantees Lets talk Tiger and not beat around the bush of who/what’s being discussed. It’s not the surgery that’s done anything special. It’s the amount of work that Tiger has put in after surgery that’s gotten him to the point of being able to play this week barring anything that causes him to drop out before tomorrow. This guy has always worked harder than his peers. That work ethic is why he is who he is and why he comes back before expectations. It’s these types of people that will always be the best and will do things normal people can’t/won’t. I have a friend who tore both quads almost two weeks ago/ he’s been home from rehab facility for about a week. Two days after he came home he was in the gym training upper body while sitting in a wheel chair with his legs in 0° braces. He’s an elite level power lifter. Most people in his situation or even less severe would be at home taking it easy maybe even pondering never training again.

Yes and that’s been the case for well over a year. It also the same for every other brand. You can go on TaylorMade website and customize the iron set with your order and see what the date is.

DJ hit an I’ll fitted persimmon wood 300 yards. He changed his bag setup for kapalua to gap properly. The equipment didn’t matter. These guys are the best of the best because of the amount of time they have spent honing their craft. They can play with anything and still be the best at what they do.

Going 19* lofts wouldn’t be the way to do that. The 3hl is a higher loft similar to a 4/5w depending in the brand with the length of a 3w and the head size of a 3w. Could be the shaft isn’t a fit causing bad launch characteristics and not getting the distance you want.

DJ worked on his wedge game and went from good to a multi major winner. Morikawa is an elite ball striker and has Hines that craft. that’s just a couple examples. Pros spend more time working on their game than most people do their normal job every day. Thinking equipment has made the pros better is almost comical. If equipment makes golfers better we wouldn’t see a bunch of high handicappers on the course or posting on golf forums. Everyone would be shaving strokes off their game with new equipment

You bought a shaft with a different profile than what you were fit for. The white has a stiffer tip and is designed to spin and launch lower than the blue. Will this affect your swing and/or ball flight it’s hard to say he’s or know especially without seeing what your numbers were with the blue. The white is designed for the higher swing speed and stronger golfer. The blue is a mid launch shaft with low spin profile. Those words are just generic terms and don’t equate to actual spin numbers. With the tsi3 being a lower spin designed head that is something that can affect what difference you might see between what you were fit for. Some other details you left out that need to be considered is what shaft length were you fit for and is the white the same length? This can impact feel due to weight and balance differences. Also left out if you bought the same loft and if the grip is the same as you were fit for. These will also have some role in any differences you could see between what you were fit for and the one you bought. Lastly why did you buy one with a white vs blue that you were fit for?

In many cases listening to someone or getting fit at golf galaxy is to be avoided. More than likely in wedges at least in the ones you full swing with would be a safe bet. I know guys who are over in irons and don’t do it in wedges. When it comes to woods and hybrids it’s all about fit. Some play standard length irons and go anywhere from std to 1.5” short in driver yet stock length in woods and hybrid. Best way to determine what works did you is go get fit by the person who did your irons and have them figure out what’s best for the rest of your bag. You can use that to order from Callaway

Nothing to lose by trying it that way to see what it does for distance, ball flight and how it looks at setup. If you are trying to fill gaps in the bag then that would be where the focus should be and finding the right setup that gives you the gapping you need. It could be 3hl, 5w, hybrid, longest iron. Could be 3hl, low lofted hybrid, hybrid, longest iron. The difference between a 3hl or 3w and a 5w is going to be head size and playing length. Head size will vary between the 5w on the market as well as how much difference in size between the 3hl and the 5w. Iirc the m1 3hl was relatively small in size compared to what the stealth version is and it may even be smaller than 5w today. Also as mentioned you are going to close the club face about 3* by changing the loft whereas with a normal 5w it’s not going to be as closed. Give it a shot and see what happens.

I’ve only seen one issue reported and that was the face plate coming off the driver. No other reports of damage as was noted on here at the pga show

Everything is golf is player dependent. Since you are looking at hybrids and wedges go get fit for them so that you know you are in the right equipment and two to gap them properly to your irons. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to have irons fit to you then buy clubs to fit other spots in the bag that aren’t fit you and may not fit gapping in the bag.

Wny are you wanting to turn it into a 5w? Adding loft is also going to close the face a couple degrees.

Several options to consider 1) a refeed day by adding in more carbs 2) a diet break of 1 week eating at maintenance 3) reverse dieting for awhile Too long of a deficit is no bueno.
