  1. I was introduced to the game of golf at an early age by my dad even though I couldn’t play due to a neurological disease called dystonia. I walked on a walker from the age of 7 until I had deep brain stimulation surgery at the age of 21. I remember always going to the course with my dad and riding in the cart and watching him play and those were some of my best memories. After I had brain surgery, I was able to finally learn how to play the game I loved with my dad as my coach. Unfortunately, he developed health issues shortly after that and we weren’t able to really play together but he would ride with me and watch me play then. We would stay up-to-date on all the golf equipment news thanks to MyGolfSpy. He passed away on 9/23/19 and he always said he wished we could play together one more time, so I played my first round of golf after his death with his clubs. Any time I’m on the course, I wear my dog tag with his finger print on it so that I can enjoy the game I love thanks to him introducing me to it. I’m striving to break my low score of 78 but I know my dad is still watching me play every round.
  2. I actually kind of like the look of the T200s. I play the original AP2s and have been looking to upgrade. I'm interested to see how it looks in person as well as how they feel in the hands.

  3. I'm a Titleist guy but no irons compare looks wise to a Mizuno. I've never hit a Mizuno iron but I hear the feel matches the looks. Those are some beauts.

  4. These claims are kinda like the bars and restaurants who advertise "coldest beer in town". If you're willing to believe the advertisement, then it worked. Golf balls are all about personal preference and it's all about finding a ball that works for you.

    Glass Putter

    I'm with you, I'd almost say it's not an if it happens but a when. I think it's great for a man cave though. Driver: TS2 9.5 stiff 3 Wood: 915 F stiff 3 Hybrid: 915 HD 4-PW: Original AP2 Wedges: 50, 56, 60 Vokey SM6 Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1
  6. My 50 degree Vokey wedge. I hit that thing anywhere from 50 yards to 110 yards and it just feels like money in my hands. It gives me confidence that no other club in my bag gives me. Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to hit it more than I should lol. I keep pulling out my 56 and 60 instead of trusting that club.

  7. People laugh when I tell them I switched from Titleist to Maxfli but these balls perform. I was hitting wedge shots today that stopped on a dime. Luckily I don't care what anyone thinks lol it's $10+ that I'm saving on balls I have to spend towards other golf stuff now.

  8. Does anyone else go to a range that has Top Tracer Range? I know there are around 60 in the US that have this but I never knew it existed until about a month and a half ago when it was installed at the range I go to. It provides a whole different experience at the range. They're going to be installing Top Tracer Handheld soon that will work from the grass area. You can do longest drive, closest to the pin, points game, virtual golf, a launch monitor and WITB (you can save the data for each club in the app and access it at any time).

  9. 83 (41/42) today at The Mill Course in Cincinnati today. I putted like crap today, I missed 6 putts inside 3 feet today for par. My wedge game that is usually my weakness put me in position to score and my putting which is usually a strength, let me down. Go figure. Keep waiting to have them all clicking at once lol.

  10. Couldn't agree more about a putter having the most mental impact of all the clubs. If it doesn't look and feel right, you probably won't make a good stroke.

  11. I've used two putters in the 7 years I've been taking the game seriously. My first putter that my dad gave me was an Odyssey Dual Force Rossie 2 that I used until I bought my Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1 three years ago. I think I'm more loyal to a mallet putter than anything. Driver: TS2 9.5 stiff 3 Wood: 915 F stiff 3 Hybrid: 915 HD 4-PW: 710 AP2 Wedges: 50, 56, 60 Vokey SM6 Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1
  12. I really liked the Tour X ball, the Tour ball is very good but I think I'm going to game the Tour X Driver: TS2 9.5 stiff 3 Wood: 915 F stiff 3 Hybrid: 915 HD 4-PW: 710 AP2 Wedges: 50, 56, 60 Vokey SM6 Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1
  13. I'm putting with a SC matador midsize grip right now and was wanting something with a little more girth (that's what she said) to it. This grip has my interest peaked, I'll have to do some research on it.

  14. Played the Tour ball today and it performed as well as the Tour X. I struggled with the driver today but hit a couple 260+ yard drives. I did notice some (maybe 10 yards at the most) distance loss when I didn't point the alignment line towards the target. Only downside to this ball is it scuffs easier than other premium balls I've played. Not a big enough downside to deter me from playing it though since it didn't affect performance. Now if only I could find a ball to putt itself in for me all the time because today was 3 putt city.

  15. These are awesome. I might have to pick up an Iron Man and Captain America set. Driver: TS2 9.5 stiff 3 Wood: 915 F stiff 3 Hybrid: 915 HD 4-PW: 710 AP2 Wedges: 50, 56, 60 Vokey SM6 Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1
  16. It's a good ball at that price point especially if you don't want to pay in the $30-$40 range for a dozen. You can get some of the higher performing balls used in mint condition on eBay for the same price as the TruSoft balls. I've bought high end balls that performed just as well as brand new balls. Main thing is don't switch just because someone tells you to unless you get a ball fitting done.

  17. Don't really have a preference but all my drivers have been glossy. Adams Redline, Titlest 915 and TS2 and have never had a problem with glare. Don't really have a preference on color either.

  18. I can only wear spikeless shoes or by about hole 14 my feet are killing me. I wear Sketchers wide spikeless shoes now and my feet don't hurt at all. I've never once had an issue with slipping with them even though I hear people say they do in wet conditions. My scores have dropped as well since my feet are a lot more comfortable now.

  19. Finally got to try out these balls after I hurt my back last weekend, so I was out of commission for a week. I played the Tour X today and my first impressions were "wow". The Tour X feel soft in the hand. I pointed the line towards my target and ripped my first drive of the day 270. That's about 10 yards longer than with my AVX's. It feels nice off the driver face, soft but not "mushy soft" which I liked about the ball. I usually play a ball with a more low-mid trajectory, so I was interested to see how the mid-high trajectory of this ball flew for me since I sometimes hit the ball higher than I'd like. I had no problems with my ball flight today however. Even when I hit it higher than I'd like, I didn't lose significant distance. I really liked the feel of this ball off my irons and wedges. I was putting for birdie on every par 3 today except 1 (4/5, no birdies though lol). The ball flies high but carries nicely off the irons. Mishits with this ball still carry a pretty good distance. This ball also has plenty of spin in the short game. I usually have trouble getting a ball to stop once it hits the green with my wedges but this ball had a lot less roll out than my AVX's. I did not hit any shots with the alignment line pointed off target so I can't say how it affects the flight of the ball like the box says it will. I was too chicken to chance it on a tight course today lol. I honestly think I will start playing a Maxfli Tour ball from here on out. For the price and the performance, you can't really beat it. I will try my green Tour balls on Friday and post back with my opinion of it.

  20. There really isn't a good answer I can give lol. I trust that I've lined it up correctly and make a good stroke. I know for myself, aim isn't as big of a problem as tempo is 95% of the time. I'd also leave the wife's putting alone if I were you lol.

  21. You can get one of each as well if you wanted to try both balls. Driver: TS2 9.5 stiff 3 Wood: 915 F stiff 3 Hybrid: 915 HD 4-PW: 710 AP2 Wedges: 50, 56, 60 Vokey SM6 Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1
