I like that concept of dividing up, making a mixed dozen.
With the BX flying too far, does it create larger than ideal distance gaps in your shorter clubs, or does it make the distance gaps more consistent between clubs? When I switched from ProV1s to BX, the short iron and wedge shots did fly further than I expected, but the gaps were more consistent, meaning I just had to alter my expectations. It's totally worth doing a gapping session with a reliable launch monitor and your own balls to get consistent gapping numbers.
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.

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.

For sale:
1) Evnroll ER7 mallet, 35”, oversized Evnroll factory grip. Standard loft and lie. Works as advertised, I just had to go back to a blade. $180 plus shipping. Retails for $359, so half price.
2) Cobra F8 one length 5-GW stiff shaft (true temper one flighted). 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). ARCCOS in grips still active.
3) Mizuno T5 wedges, 52 and 56, bounce listed in pictures. Just bought new wedges. This still have lots of groove and grip left, took the worst showing pictures I could. There is a nick in back of 56 degree. White Satin finish. Wedge flex True Temper, standard length and lie. $40 each, or $70 for both.

The company I used to work for had a factory in Lexington, KY that I took customers to every year. After the factory tour we always made our way to the Buffalo Trace Distillery where they make some of the best bourbon known to man. I was able to secure a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 18 yr, which was enjoyed over Thanksgiving with my two brothers. They are my closest and best friends, and it was truly a special experience with a special bourbon.
I mixed the Pappy name with my last name: Roylance.

Cobra F8 One Length Irons 5-GW. So far so good with one length at the (heated) range.
Evnroll ER7 (based on MGS reviews of course). Want to compare this mallet to my Sentio blade.
Found a deal on a Nike VR Pro Driver with Nunchuck shaft for $60! I don't care about the driver, just really wanted to try the shaft.

Really interested in the Cobra F8 One Irons. Seems like a heck of a deal when combined with ARCCOS. I seem to be trending towards game improvement irons these days. Still have a desire to bag some old irons though and see what I can do, like 690 MBs. Total opposites!

Sales Manager for Johnson Controls Inc upstate NY and Vermont. Love the job. I get to work with an amazing team, have a flexible schedule, and get to see the inner workings of buildings' heating/cooling systems, building controls, fire and security systems. Small industry from the standpoint of how many people are in it, but would encourage any high schooler to take a look at this industry.
