  1. Give me a 4 or 5 way all day over 14 way. I walk for probably 1/3 of my rounds, and even when riding and using rental sets with a 14-way bag I have found it annoying to put clubs in & out...picking the right slot and then making sure the grip doesn't grab and get stuck on the way down into the bag... I'm sure there are good 14 way bags out there that are light and solve for the stickiness issue, but I will never try them! OG Hoofers for life!

  2. While I wish the vintage series was fully milled like some of the rumors were positing, the look is definitely an improvement over the last release with the dark insert vs. the previous silver one IMO (though I would want to remove the score lines paint fill if I bought one). I hope they continue to gain traction.

  3. I am actually partial to the prior blades that have been around for the last ~5 years but this version is no slouch and it looks like they may have gotten a touch friendlier as well...reasonable trade off if that is the case, though they are still above my pay grade... The CBs are knockouts too - feel like those are an improvement on what was already a great looking club!

    Did the tungsten go away in the CB long irons? 

    Does anyone happen to know the blade lengths on these bad boys? The prior CBs felt a bit too squat for me at address in the long irons where I just want to hit as straight of a ball as possible. If they are still too squat, I'll be curious to see what the Dynapower forged look like for combo purposes...hopefully similar to these two beauties.

  4. Catching up on this thread after a busy couple of weeks at work...fantastic job gents! I love reading the intros/fitting stories/conclusions (and appreciate that they are easily found/linked at the front of the thread).

    Also, great to see the group having such a positive experience with their sticks. The test itself is super cool but when the testers also get gamer sets for hopefully a long time it further validates the products and the experience IMO. 👍

    But it cannot be like the foresight for example where you hit to your target on the screen?

    If you have the e6 software package you can project to a screen to allow for full sim golf or just target practice.

  6. The more I look at these the more I like them. Definitely going to test them out at some point soon. If they can get the 2021 X-forged CB feel into the tighter packaged Apex pros (at least the 6i and up that are all 1025 carbon), they will have hit a grand slam IMO.

  7. These look much more cohesive than the prior lineup. Curious to see how the new pros feel. In my fitting at the time I had great numbers with them, but I couldn't get along with the feel, and they didn't have a blendable lineup the way my eventual P7 series did.

  8. I got to roll a b11 this weekend. Can’t speak to the b31 other than it looks like a great version of a notchback. Some scattered thoughts:

    The milling looks premium; the sole and bumper milling is a great touch. They nailed the address look and topline. The styling is a bit understated which suits my eye… I don’t understand the R in the cavity, but what do I know… maybe we are all raving about our cool circle R putters in 5 years!

    Feel was very solid and a bit on the firmer side, in a good way for my taste. Still plenty softer than Ping Heppler line which is the firmest putter I think I can remember trying, but just a bit bit more crisp than most off the rack Camerons from the last decade, or Toulons, or most Odysseys, Evnrolls, etc… could be due to the topline being thinner than most OTR blades I’ve seen? I am in no way looking for a new putter to replace my Cameron Hollywood but this thing had me thinking...

    *I definitely have not tried everything out there, so take my feel impression with a grain of salt.*

    IMO it’s a strong B+ start; if they can use the MyTP customization on this line it becomes an A quickly.

    I think you need some new irons to test out on that nice new LM 🙂

     

    When you're right, you're right! 

    In all seriousness, having a Full Swing KIT monitor on hand to do a full gapping with has confirmed some minor issues with my current setup. Minor, but juuusttt enough to nag at you if it doesn't take much to convince you to buy new things already! I have already picked up a TSR 2+ head to try and dial down spin/launch a bit vs, my TSi2 15*, and the gap between my p770 7i and p7mc 8i is just taunting me at this point, daring me to do a deep dive on a King Tour or T150 set.
