  1. The Mitsubishi Tensei 1K white is such a great one…It paired well with my G400 LST. Great load, feels amazing and has a great dispersion.
  2. It’s really impressive to witness first hand. The biggest adjustment I’ve had to make is trusting myself to give it a little more knowing it’ll check. Heck of a problem to have…
  3. 11 is such a great par 4. Always loved that among so many great holes.
  4. Rochester in April… So anyways…trying to make the best of this sitch and got some more practice in this AM before the big dogs tee it up this afternoon. This is a mushy damp turf and after hitting each shot I’d clean the face with my shoe…Granted, I’d have a towel on the course…being able to hit shots and see the same trajectory and distance control with wet faces is pretty darn cool. It also helps me validate the hydropearl…so far…so great. The 50 feels so good. I’m not certain if the audio does it justice but this one felt especially solid. I am loving the distance and flighting. IMG_3910.mov With the 59, I am hitting shots I hadn’t been very comfortable with over the last several years. Ground contact is really a pleasure…This video is representative of the two dozen I hit…all landing within a similar margin. I am happy. IMG_3909.mov I am headed to Indianapolis for work this week and I’ll be back posting on-course videos at that time. Still planning to check in with everyone here but I’ll be limited on photo / video content. The good news is that the third and final iteration of this set, the 55* should arrive around next week. There is so much more goodness to come.
  5. My favorite part of these competitions (aside from the phenomenal prizes) is that I can close out the browser on Thursday afternoon knowing I won’t have to spend time wondering if my team has a chance to win.
  6. This is my happy place. Playing for less than one year and loves the game. So anytime we can get practice we can practice
  7. It’s instant validation. When I tested, it was between Mizuno 223’s and the T100’s. The Mizuno’s are incredible irons but these were flat out better. They were so much more precise and for the first time in my golfing career, I had incredible confidence with my irons. It was not uncommon to play 18 and hit 13 or 14 greens in a round. I haven’t played this well in years and it’s because of the T100.
  8. It’s painful watching Tiger. Thoroughly enjoying watching Scottie make par putts today.
  9. I know it’s still early…based on our feedback I find it difficult to believe that any of us would find a reason to boot these from the bag. Universal praise among all four lines is super impressive.
  10. I can see this happening soon and if not for anything else, it’s that it’s stuck in your head…literally the worst feeling.
  11. So far just with the 50* on half swings and approaches. I’m not really sure why… Full swing they’re nearly identical in distance and have made for a very kind acclimation period.
  12. @StrokerAceyour hat and GI system are safe. No joke though…+7 this game is hard. Meanwhlle Scheffler plays the afternoon round in the final group and shoots 72 in that weather. Just incredible talent.
  13. I’ve never had luck with this kind of control on the short shots. It’s also not a whim, this has been a regular occurrence.
  14. Wyndham is -1 after 2…do we start the 65 watch yet…
  15. If things aren’t going well I tell myself to accept it. Sometimes you just lose your flow. Two years ago I started breaking my rounds up into 3 hole segments. Consciously telling myself I have to just focus on these 3 at a time and that I can leave bad shots behind me. I cannot tell you how many rounds I’ve played where I start out bogey, par, double and still end up breaking 80.
  16. After spending some time with comparing the S159 to my SM8 & 9’s I’ve decided it’s time to remove the Vokeys from the testing. It’s all Ping from here on out. I went out yesterday and hit some 30 and 40 yard approaches to the golf course turned public park (now a frisbee golf park with the green and tee complexes kept in place) to see how I could fare. The 50* shots are feeling very good. For some odd reason I feel like I have to give them a little more gas through impact but the most noticeable difference is trajectory. The S159 flights the ball SO MUCH BETTER for me. I’ve been so accustomed to hitting higher than normal pitch shots inside 50 yards and I could setup for some low scooters off the toe and goodness…the results are better than I’d expected. I’m also liking the current setup of 50 & 59. For years I only played two wedges that alternated around 50/52 and 58/60. While I wait for the 55* to arrive I am really content with life right now.
  17. Happy Friday at the Masters everybody! We've had 3 straight days of rain and I'll be spending my morning replacing the drywall in my half bath ceiling with this wonderful tournament playing in the background Another amazing testing opportunity awaits some great people with the Callaway AI Smoke drivers. I am super excited for whoever gets selected! Hope you all have a wonderful day.
  18. This is amazing. You win the forum today Guy wins one major and we finally get to see who he really is...
  19. I opted to not go for the Arccos. I’m interested in learning your thoughts along the way.
