If the $$$ were not an issue, I'd change wedges every 6 months and driver yearly. I did recently replace a both 54 deg and 58 deg wedges. Also added a new pair of Arch Fit Skechers. I would like a new driver (Mavirk in the bag). When the Paradym AI Smoke's price returns to a more reasonable amount it would be my next purchase.

Spot on… @cksurfdude the graphic is reminder to have a focused pre-shot routine

Riley….love to hear your Zen focused take on the graphics purpose.

I have come to the conclusion after rewatching the videos that the graphic is meant to be a reminder about the pe-shot process…pick a target (Harvey Penick), visualize the shot (Nicklaus), and focus (Zen). I putted using it as an alignment aid and it was not helpful to me. Then again my routine does not use practice swings while standing at the ball. I also don’t line up my ball to putt…and no putting practice stroke. I didn’t pick up anywhere in the Mindset videos to use it as an alignment aid….I believe it’s a natural, but erroneous, conclusion we made about the graphic when seeing the “arrow” protruding from the first circle. It’s should remind us all to have a confident, consistent pre-shot routine.

Not using it as an alignment aid…

Just rechecked my sleeves and didn’t find any anomalies or gritty surfaces. On another note: rewatched the mindset videos and not once did the camera show Jason Day align his ball on the tee so the green dot was a “focus”! I’m beginning to believe that the “Mindset” is supposed to act as a short series of pre-setup and setup thoughts before swinging!? Sort of like a Dr. Bob Rotella mindset to “clear your mind” and let the swing happen. So now it’s on every ball: 1. Pick a target (Harvey Penick) 2. Visualize the shot( geez like I can really control the ball that well..Nicklaus) 3. Focus( keep your head still putting-Payme Stewart’s wife before final round US Open at Pinehurst 1999) For its intended global purpose, it may help us….i don’t think—where i did before—that the graphic is to be used as an alignment aid.

Just returned from an hour on the putting green using the Bridgestone BRX Mindset i received yesterday. I signed up to test the balls with skepticism riding on my shoulder. 20 years ago i stopped taking a practice swing while playing. I also don't take a practice stroke with my putter. I walk around the hole, find the line, anticipate the speed needed, setup and make the stroke. I am a confident putter. Using the Mindset graphic didn't help me putt. The process is cumbersome to me. Granted, I liked focusing on the green dot but it didn't help me hole more putts. I play Bridgestone BRX and BRXS. I live on a golf course and have hundreds of balls given to me by the ground crew. I do play, now and then ProV and ProVx. I am partial to Bridgestone B series. I will continue to use the BRX and BRXS balls. The Mindset graphic looks great and the science makes sense. It is not something, however, I will use when putting. I like to look down at a clean ball. Next, up is puting the ball in play. Thanks MGS....godspeed...

Took a few minutes and reviewed the mental purpose of the “MindSet” by Bridgestone. From the wider “pick your target” to mental focus will apply to the ball off the tee as well as on the green…

Never have I lined up my golf ball to putt. This will be an interesting experience. The breaks on the green and the speed needed to sink the putt are in my Mind's eye. Perhaps, seeing the MindSet on the ball will inspire me.

What a belated “Easter basket” on my doorstep…looking forward to putting with the Mindset…

I play Bridgestone Tour BRX. This is the perfect opportunity to test the new “Mindset” ball. Granted, I’m a wee bit skeptical that the graphic will help hole more putts but it may help in lining up the ball. Ball selection indicates I’m playing the right ball.

Retired...Play three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday). I run a golf league of 40 members (Silverbaciks) fielding 7 tee times each Thursday throughout the year (NC).

No alignment marks…no practice stroke…play a Bridgestone with the “B” always facing up

I'm with the crew that says "walk away"....the provenance is important. So how did this person come by this club? Would imagine Callaway has some kind of markings to track their prototypes....if it is a prototype...is it conforming? two weeks ago bought a Mavick from Callaway Pre-owned...like new condition...never been hit, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and was $250.00 (on sale)....

Have a friend that plays a 2 iron with a 5 iron shaft...hits it a mile....
