  1. Cobra One Length Iron Set 4i - GW: $400 shipped One length iron set 4 iron through gap wedge This is a mixed model set 4 iron - RadSpeed graphite shaft 5 and 6 iron - SpeedZone graphite shaft 7 iron - GW - King F9 steel shaft All shafts regular flex Shafts and grips are stock models from Cobra website Arccos Grips All clubs are 37.5” length This is a great set with updated models/technology and graphite shafts in the “longer” irons where the forgiveness and increased launch really come in to play. Only selling the set now as I got fit in to a stiffer shaft. Happy to answer any questions.
  2. This is a good way to look at it. Now that I think about it, my main concern came when my 52 was carrying close to a standard PW for me, almost. I thought my short irons were losing spin and encroaching/shortening my gaps into the longer irons. Looking through ARCCOS and other info, I think you may be right. My gaps are more consistent and each iron has gotten a tad longer. It could be that before the BX My shorter irons were spinning or ballooning slightly, and now I’m carrying properly. I really want to get on a Trackman just for gapping when COVID has subsided. Cheers! Be well. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  3. A friend and I split two dozen Bridgestones: one dozen tour bx and one dozen tourbxs, then we split them with each other. Made our own “demo dozen”. I’m excited to see how these balls have changed from 2018 to 2020. What I’m looking for, if anyone has recommendations: the tour bx 2018 is perfect for me off the tee and down to about 6 iron, from 7 down though it seems like there may be a lack of spin? The symptom I’m experiencing could best be described as the ball “sailing” and I hit my shorter irons and wedges too long surprising me. Any thoughts? I am also trying the ProV1X left dash which may end up perfect, but I’m concerned they won’t be in production much longer. Also, for Srixon being called a “subpar” ball, one just has to look at the MyGolfSpy ball test. The thing I’ve been looking for to make a ball decision is a balance of the average data for directional improvements in lowering spin off driver then increasing for 7i and wedge; but more importantly I’ve been looking at the std dev tab to measure consistency. The Srixon ZStar is the top performer in a lot of the important categories for lowest std deviations. Giving you a higher confidence interval for knowing your carry distances and offline yardages. Anyway, it’s a great ball. Std deviation is actually why I didn’t go into the Snell MTBX despite the potential to gain driver yardage with the averages hype. I did like the Snell MTB Black several years ago though. Sorry for the rant, bored during quarantine. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

  5. John/NY Tensei Pro Orange 7tx 114 mph What if anything? I am satisfied with distance, however I would not turn down more! My main desire is continuous improvement on dispersion. I have full access to a large hitting bay with Trackman. Would love to do a write-up! Thanks for all you do. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

  7. Made a couple switches this year resulting in clubs available. For sale: 1) Evnroll ER7 mallet, 35”, oversized Evnroll factory grip. Standard loft and lie.

Great condition, just need a better bath than I gave them. I’ll wash them before shipping. $400 obo plus shipping ($499 in worse condition on used sites right now).

  11. This is all really great info! I really appreciate it folks. I may be able to put together two days for golf, but it’s not the sole purpose. Good excuse to go back! As of right now, I’m thinking Troon North-Pinnacle, and heading out for dinner together. I may try and do 36 on that day though, so maybe traveling to another course. I’ve never really travelled out of the Northeast for golf besides one trip to North Carolina. This has ignited a fire to do so, as well as really good conversations with my wife to travel more and include golf in the itinerary. Will have to come after the new baby gets settled of course.

  12. Thanks gaussman1! Yeah, we’re there for six days, and most of it is filled already with non-golf activities (unfortunately). I’ll check out Grayhawk and the others. I did try to find out info on Ping and fittings, tours, etc. I read they have moved fittings offsite to their certified fitter locally. I’m going to take a swing though and email them to see what can be done. Even if it’s just a tour. I did a fitting at Titleist on Manchester Lane, and the tour of their ball research area was great. I like the idea of golf and then my wife can meet me for a nice dinner and sunset. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  13. My wife and I are expecting our second child in July, so we are taking one last big trip for awhile. We decided on Arizona (flying from NY). Opening up discussion here to my trusted advisors: I have one full day to myself (she’ll be at a spa) to golf and go to golf related places. What course should I play? Places to go? PXG? Troon North? TPC? I’ll be alone for the whole day, which I don’t mind. We’ll be splitting time in Sedona and Scottsdale. Thank you in advance! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  14. I am currently gaming the TEE CBX fairway and really like it. Let’s us know how it works for you. It will work more like a “sub zero” lower spin wood though, from what I’ve experienced. Before the CBX, I used a cobra fairway and it launched plenty high/tons of forgiveness. Cobra has been named numerous times here, so just wanted to add to that list! If you like the Adams hybrid, have you looked at their fairway woods? My favorite 5 wood of all time was a Tight Lies. Total mindless wonder. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
