    Definatelly took a few rounds to get used to the new shafts. The first thing you notice is the vibration dampening. Just wow. Try the OTi series, feels and looks the bomb so far.

    I tested all the new drivers for a golf mag this year... And I’d suggest that you try the Ping G410 PLUS. Even tho I’m playing PXG gen2 myself it’s the only one that I think could kick it out of the bag.

    So a question I asked myself this year was ‘is 2019 a year of graphite shafts’? The tech has evolved so massively that I stopped trusting the ‘club purists’. When I was fitted for my first set my fitter said ‘graphite is for old men and ladies’. I was fitted with a DG S300 and that was it. Next set the same story but the shaft changed to a PX LZ. And then again KSB C-Taper Lite 110. As I’m quite often at a place with trackman I hit some Accra ICWT i105, and it was surprisingly pleasant. Then the i95 and my flight was higher, the dispersion tighter so I thought there’s something to it. Being the massive tinkerer and doubter that I am, and not having anywhere to go with my iron heads, I did a fck ton of research and decided to try the MCA OT shafts in my irons. Or the accas... Or Paderson... As i couldn’t decide myself I decided to take the most scientific approach I could think of. Get a set of heads, get all the shafts and compare the results. The plan is following: New shafts, same MOI as my gamers, same grips. Have a full on gapping session and trackman numbers when I get them. Play 30 rounds with them tracking all stats with Arccos. Have another trackman session to see if numbers have changed. Reshaft to another shaft that suits me, and do it all over again. So my heads and shafts went to my builder today ( Eclipse Golf UK if anyone is curious) and shall be with me by Saturday (together with some exciting driver shafts, notably the the Diamana DF and the new Tensei AV) and we will begin! I will be updating this thread as I go along followed by a full on review with the numbers and tables side by side. Hopefully you’re as excited about this journey as I am! And if you want to see something specific - feel free to ask

    I have TWO of those for sale btw. Ideally you’d want to be in the UK as it’s heavy to post. But upgrading to a JUCAD soon so can let the QODs go!

    Waiting to hear how it went!

    Ok, well when they started up the fitter would actually come to you to get fitted. Now they have fitting events and in the UK they're always free to attend. If you want me to ask at the HQ - let me know as I don't mind Or you can go join my giveaway and maybe get a free Ping

    The club charges them 150 PER PERSON?

    I can reach out to PXG and see if I can help? I bought so much stuff from them that I believe they would make an exception... PM me if you want.

    So, 10 yards longer carry vs 0811X Gen1. 400 revs less spin. 109 swing speed, 1.46-1.51 smash factor (a lil under the weather!) ~9 degree launch, 1900-2100 spin, longest carry was 265 with 15 yards rollout. Funnily enough with the TPT swing speed went down to 106 (tho they use the changable shaft adapters, and it put the SW to D7, then had to tinker with the head weight). And the ball speeds stayed the same. AND Its the same story with Gen1 vs Gen2 - the 109 swing is ~3/4mph slower than my Gen1 and i’ve not lost any ball speed.

    Not sure I can reveal what I’ve been told after a few whiskeys, but they sell a fck ton of equipement already. I’m not in the industry so no idea how many clubs Honma / Miura is shifting but PXG is selling A LOT.

    I've been playing PXG irons since release. There are for sure other irons I could be playing... Somewhere... That I haven't found. But with my toe strikes nothing is as forgiving and still feels good. If you get a chance - go hit them and you may fall in love.

    Hmm, maybe can do it even today side by side as I'm heading to my fitting studio later today... Hmmm, let's see
  14. puttingpirate
    The numbers comparing to 0811 0811x gen1 are on a different level. At least for me.
  15. puttingpirate
    lol you beat me to it by 1 minute
  16. puttingpirate
    It can get your swing out of position and cause injury... So yeah... it can hurt It's very important to remember to stretch and warm up A LOT before using it. For me it works best as part of gym routine. I do a lot of work on opening hips, rotational cuffs, lower back etc... during gym session and then fit the superspeed training in.

    Just got the set. Let's see how well it works!

    I mean my v4 got wet in the rain, they said it's water resistant, not waterproof. I didn't get how it's meant to resist the rain. But it didn't. And so to the bin it went.
  19. puttingpirate
    If bushnell wont fix it, you have a dud unfortunately my friend

    Hmmm, wonder if they'll ever make it work with the apple watch instead of the chunky device.

    It's a mac pro being replaced by the new imac. The left screen is for a gaming PC. Rest are 5k connected to the grey imac pro.
