    2019 Callaway Apex & Apex Pro Iron Thread

    I'm interested in these as well.  I've been gaming Srixon Z745's for a few years now.  I'm thinking about testing the waters this year, but it's going to be hard to beat the 745.

    7x5 and 5x5 are some of the best irons on the market in looks, feel and performance in their respective categories.  Curious what would make you want to test the waters?  I agree they will be hard to beat.

    the design of the non apex pros mst give you added distance over 745 and maybe even 5x5 but for me on looks and price of the apex release has me not even looking at them. I can find similar or better performance in a better looking package and price tag

    I'm surprised to hear this. IMHO it would take a full year to plan before a launch. MGS and perhaps some vendors would have to underwrite this and it wouldn't be cheap. I believe for a national scale event it would require dividing up the US into regions and have qualifiers throughout the year with those winners or placeholders advancing to the National Championship in the fall. It'd be a big deal all around. Would I play in such an event? Maybe. Show me the plan.

    Iirc GC2 organizes events for a living and he along with Tony and Adam have contacts throughout the industry and would be able to do what’s necessary to organize and it wouldn’t take a whole year not to mention the various OEMs at used to organizing events. With that level of expertise it wouldn’t be that hard. It’s an undertaking for sure but can be done.  

    As for regional qualifiers those have been tried and the usual outcome is more failure than success.

    As gc2 mentioned when doing something like this the key is to make it special. Lots of reputations are on the line and if it doesn’t go right it makes a lot of people look bad. I have faith in gc2 and the rest of the staff that if they do something it will be done right and if it can’t be it won’t get done

    I guess that could matter if someone was an officer or owner so took very little "income" and the majority of their pay was dividend or distribution but it seems like if you're cashing in PTO you probably have a significant amount of w2 wage pay. I think it would just be more income no matter what it's called, wouldn't it?

    I would think so but i guess it depends on how it gets treated by the company. I know I get hit hard on my pay check in March when we get our annual bonus and I’m not getting bumped up a tax bracket

    I'm confused by this topic. As long as the combined amount doesn't move you into a new bracket why would it matter? Actually, even if it did push you into a new bracket why would it matter? Wouldn't the portion in the old bracket be taxed at that rate and the portion in the new bracket be taxed at the new rate?
    Isn't 35% of 10 grand (for example) the same $3500 as 10 different $1000 checks all in the same 35% bracket?
    I'm not being snarky at all, can someone explain if I have this wrong?

    I’m guessing because it’s probably getting put in as a bonus so that gets hit differently. 

    TRUEGolfFit.com Adding Advanced Shaft Fitting Analytics

    in General Equipment Talk

    Posted

    The concept in intriguing and the guarantee is interesting enough to possibly give it a go.  A few things that standout to me as potential issues would be the subjective aspect of clubs when it comes to ones preference for looks, sound and feel. A closer club face might not suit someone’s eye or the look/shape of the club isn’t confidence building in someone’s mind.  Then the objective part that comes from fittings with the adjustability of clubs these days. A certain loft but tweaked a bit to optimize numbers versus a loft and head combo generated by algorithm.

    For shafts the feel may not be what one likes.

    So we have 3 new moderators.

    1. GolfSpy Stroker 

    2. GolfSpy MPR

    3.GolfSpy CG2.

    I think this calls for some sort of forum initiation,  rights of pasage 🤔🤔 so I thought let's start one here.

    First. Congrads.

    Second. Shall we proceed? 

    It was a sunny Sunday morning, and GolfSpy Studque, GolfSpy MPR, and GolfSpy Stroker were beginning their preshot routines, visualizing their upcoming shot, when GolfSpy CG spoke over the clubhouse loudspeaker. “Would the gentleman on the ladies’ tee please back up to the men’s tee.”

    GolfSpy Stroker remained in his routine, seemingly unfazed by the interruption.

    A little louder: “Would the man on the women’s tee kindly back up to the men’s tee!”

    GolfSpy Studque raised up out of his stance, lowered his driver, and shouted, “Would the announcer in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot?”

     

    You know Golfspy_GC2 is the mod formerly known as Golfspy_Rob right?

    Awesome video of the Miura’s. Very kind and gentle they are. Thanks for sharing.

    About 10 years ago I got to hit some Miura’s at the PGA Show in Orlando.....very sweet.

    I got a set of CB57 last year and dumped them a couple months later. Somewhat regret that now. Should have waited til I got the off season swing issues out of the way. The feel of miuras is unbelievable. There are some heads that feel softer than others but the 1957 baby blades and cb57 were two of the best feeling clubs I’ve hit

    Wedges may be my safest option. It’s really nice to see traditions run so deep and how “old” methods can still produce the most amazing products. Even the simple art of watching and listening for strikes and not using a LM. Makes the product that much more special.

    Wedges are a great option. I played an older miura wedge that was good but felt a little hard. Their new wedges looks amazing and I want to give it a go

    I’ll have to check that out... although I have a feeling it’s going to leave me with even more desire to look at purchasing their clubs. 

    Yeah that video will do that to you. I’m already trying to figure out when something new is going on the bag as a result

    The Chrome soft is interesting because I just picked up my re-shafted 9 iron and my fitter was extolling its virtues.  I commented that it's a very good ball but that I don't like how soft it feels.  The soft balls of today do not feel like Balata did IMO, they feel contrived, kind of like when you get flavored potato chips. 

    That's my take - clearly they have their niche and the answer an objection to the modern ball feeling too firm for some - they just aren't for me.

    The chromesoft have always felt soft to me and I’ve seen 1/2-1club less with them than other tour level balls. TM has two really good ball in the TP line and I’m curious what the next gen is going to be like. I’m a titleist homer when it comes to balls but if I were to deity it would be to TM

    What equipment are you thinking about?

    As much as the G410 and TM m5/6 have my attention I’m curious to see what’s under the PXG hood later this month. Their sugar daddy wedges already have my attention and curious if they have new ones coming and since it’s been awhile for anything in the top of the bag from them I’m interested there too especially in the fairway woods
