Finally pulled the trigger on a 2 crossover iron. Got the Ping iCrossover with smoke red shaft but going to swap out with a smoke black. Was crushing it while testing it 250+ but much straighter than my driver

I looked at the wrong model. You might be out of luck for now as I don’t see any aftermarket adapters. You might get lucky and find one from a pull. You could pull your current shaft and reuse the one you have. Maybe call Ping and see if they will sell you one or if they will put one on a shaft you provide.
Thanks, wasn’t sure if it could be reused, maybe I’ll take to golf galaxy since they should know what they’re doing

I don’t believe it has an adapter and the shaft is simply glued into the hosel like an iron. For Ping you need a sleeved ferrule. I would reach out to someone like golfworks and see which ferrule you need

Here is the adapter on the left for the Icrossover vs the g425 driver on the right. -
I just got the Ping iCrossover 2 iron and it came with the smoke red, which I feel like is too whippey even with a stiff shaft. I wanted to swap out to smoke black, however these adapters seem different than in the drivers/fairways etc. I’ve looked everywhere for them and can’t find anything? Anyone know anything about these or how I can swap shafts?

So I recently moved in to a neighborhood that has a simulator and the Titliest RCT balls, I’ve played maybe 6 rounds with the same ball and it’s worn really badly, is this normal? Anyway to reduce the wear?

Broke my toe while photographing a 10U baseball game at the end of September. Emulsion fracture on my big toe and the small chip isn’t healing so docs will not be cutting the chip out and anchoring the tendon down to my foot…

Thank you I couldn’t find anything on the black one, kept seeing the white

My dad has a G410lst and this shaft. It’s an Adilia Rip 70g stiff. This much I know. Having trouble figuring out what shaft though because it has the green eyes, instead of the red I keep finding.
Anyways it broke today and he wants to find a replacement. He’s older with slower swing speed but stiff in the shaft did work really well for him.
so can anyone tell me a similar shaft I can pick up for him?

Went with the bxs… couldn’t get out to play before I had to order, so we’ll see

If you're playing ProV1 and AVX and don't mind the drastic performance differences, I have a hunch you're going for more of the 'feel' side of things. Bridgestone would say that a 105 mph swing speed is the dividing line between the Tour B and Tour BR models with X being firmer and S being softer. I haven't done this direct head-to-head myself, but it seems like the BRX would be the closest to the AVX in that it's softer than the BX and has the least spin of all four. IMHO, at least, Bridgestone doesn't have a direct competitor to ProV1. The X is going to be firmer and the XS is going to have more spin. If you have a steep angle of attack on irons (and possibly driver? do you hit banana balls left-to-right or block-slices?) you might prefer the BRX or BX (though the BX is by no means a low-spin ball).
With $200 to spend, before cashing it all in, I'd say it's worth going to the pro shop or big box store and pick up a sleeve of each and see what you like?
Everything is steep angle of attack, I do have a pretty solid slice. I like the AVX the most but had a bunch of promo ProV1 from a friend so that’s why both. Strength is short game. Swing speed is right around that 105 divide.
did Bridgestones ball fitter online and said B X

Played in a charity outing at Laurel Valley in PA. Didn’t realize how prestigious it was. That being said it was the hardest course I have ever played. The greens were the fastest I’ve ever seen. Normally I am a decent putter (avg 31 putts per round) and I couldn’t hit a putt to save my life. Beautiful course though
-
So I was lucky enough to get $200 free from Bridgestone to get balls, I’m not really familiar with their lineup. Anyone have any reactions or thoughts.
Currently playing the older ProV1 or AVX, shot shape is high and right. I get good backspin due to my sharp attack angle.
I read the reviews from the white box testing but just looking for anyone else input

I like my ball to be minimalist with things on it, even to mark it, I just put a green dot on the number. Too much of a logo or other printing I find distracting

@gavinski91 comin through strong for MGS on his challenge! Very commendable, if I get my 7 iron I’ll swing away!

Removed the black from my wedges, loving the raw look! Thanks @jlukes for the help on how to do it. I think may need a little more scrubbing

... Wow, that is a big gap and right where you need accuracy. I am occasionally struggling a little with my gapping going from 45* to 50* to 58* and that 8* gap costs me every now and then in the 90-105 range. Fwiw, the Snakebite Versatile 50* is really sweet.
It is a much bigger gap that what I had before, I had a 52* instead of a 3 wood. I am happy with the 3 wood but about 70 yards to 100 I have no club, so it’s trying to half or 3/4 swing the gap wedge

So fellow CC5 participants, I want to pose a question. Given that most of us have had time with some or all of the clubs, are there any changes you’d make to bag composition if we were given the opportunity to make some switch outs prior to the challenge starting?
Without my irons it’s hard to say but I think I’d take out the 3 hybrid and give a better gapping at the other end, I go from 46* to 56* and there’s a big distance gap

As we enter September, I'm getting the itch to start a gofundme for the set of irons and 3 & 5 woods that have yet to be received so we can get this thing going.
For selfish reasons, I'm playing really well and I've got a lot of golf lined up in September in anticipation of the challenge starting up. That and I want folks to keep their interest in this challenge despite the delay.
If you reach your goal, you can use any extra for my irons I’m still waiting on!

So there I was hole 15 of the legendary English Turn (World Tour in Myrtle Beach), par 5, island green awaiting at the end. Softly hit driver, only 188 yards off the tee. Still 221 yards out, over the water… I pull out my trusty (well learning to trust it) Cobra Rad Speed Tour 3 wood. BOOM! Hit it perfect, the ball sails over the water hits the front edge of the green rolls up about 15 feet away.
Can I Eagle it? Line up my putt, perfect speed and line and of course it stops just shy for a tap on birdie. Can I just say I’m in love with the 3 wood today!
finished the day with a respectable 93

Which is interesting. I forget what podcast but it was discussing the decade system and how in a lot of cases it’s better to be closer.
‘’arccos does this for me today I assume because of my driver dispersion or my terrible short game play. It is interesting though
I mean it makes sense for me, although I hate the idea of not using a driver. I’d get 30/40 yards closer but could end in trouble and I hit the ball long enough with hybrids or low irons to make up that. Just found it interesting.
-
Planning on playing Kings North in Myrtle tomorrow and figured I’d look at the caddie preview on arccos. Found it interesting that it rarely has me using my driver off the tee, mostly using my 5 iron off the tee based on its recommendation unless it’s a par 5 and even then all but one it has 4 iron. Assuming it’s taking in to consideration my driver isn’t very accurate?

Steep Attack w/ High Swing Speed - Are Graphite Too Weak to Game?
in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips

The AMT Black worked really well for, I have high swing speed, steep attack and take huge divots and never had any issues with breaking or bending. Also they brought the ball flight down slightly so I gained some distance
