  1. Congratulations to all testers! Looking forward to reading the testing results.
  2. Sorry , you right. What I mean it doesn't show you current score of that particular hole. it does show your scores so far, so if am +5 after 5 holes. I see that on the screen.
  3. Your score doesn't appear on the face of the X5 either, only if you select the score then it will show you. It show what Par should be. The one thing I notice with X5 with putts, when you review the score on the dashboard, it be take into account where in the green you were putting from, I seen where for some reason the green/flag was in the wrong place and it thought I was putting from the fairway instead of the green or vice versa. So I always just double check, its not 100% but its about 95%.
  4. Today Range session: Got loose with the Orange whip trainer just to make sure I was getting in good swings. Capture the Data using the SC300i unit. Started with my current game shaft Fujikura NX TCS 50. Carry/Total/Swing Speed/Ball Speed were solid for my swing.And they were was pretty consistent. After this took a breather, swapped out the shaft to the Terra Forza White. Carry/Total/Swing Speed/Ball Speed there was a solid improvement on all of the numbers, which is consistent with my initial session after the fitting. One thing I have notice and I just need to adjust my setup is that because the swing weight is so different from my gamer (D8) to the Terra Forza (D5) There is more of a left straight pull / draw to the ball flight vs my straight / baby cut that am accustomed of playing. The shaft feels like I can still give it a harder swing and it doesn't feel like am going to lose the drive. Next time I get on the course that its not raining, I be interested to see how its coming along as I continue to get more comfortable with the shaft.
  5. Weather is not looking good this weekend again. Beautiful during the week and then on the weekend Thunderstorms , flooding OH MY! Really interfering with playing golf. And no I don't play in the rain by choice. I don't own rain gear or cart covers, or anything like that. That would imply that I approved in playing in horrible weather. I like golf, I don't love golf that way. Will see if I can get out on Thursday and play an afternoon round. I like to see how the shaft performance on my home course while its fairly dry.
  6. Took the shaft out of the course today. Even though the course was soaked from all the rain yesterday, so there was zero roll it was hit and stop. I used the SC300i Launch Monitor and the driving range before the round just to get some base numbers from this shaft. I will post the numbers later, when I get In back to the computer and I can download the Data. There was a definite increase in ball speed, carry and total yards from my current shaft to the TF White. 4/19 - carry/total yds Avg: 230.1/248.9 - Ball Speed Avg:142.0 mph - Swing Speed Avg: 95.8 4/20 - carry/total yds Avg: 239.5/258.1 - Ball Speed Avg: 144.4 mph - Swing Speed Avg: 97.1 Am going to try to hit the range tomorrow and get some more numbers with my current shaft at least 10 swings and 10 with the TF White. With the SC300i Launch Monitor and see if they stay consistent. This are the numbers from my Fujikura Speeder NX TCS 50 Original Shaft: This are the numbers from my Terra Forza White Shaft:
  7. White Shaft, strong tip, same length as my current shaft, CP2 Standard Grip. TM Sleeve.
  8. Shaft has arrived. Unfortunately range is closed and it's going to rain tomorrow.. so it will have to tested out in play on Sunday.
  9. TF shaft is out for delivery hope it gets here before the evening I can get out to the Range and give it a test drive before putting in play on Sunday. Saturday is a wash here, down pours expected all day.
  10. Took it out to the range this morning. 1st thing I notice how bright the numbers show in the screen and how easily is to see from 5-6ft away with no issues. Remote control super useful, just point and change the club, carry/distance, practice or just swing speed. NOW, I struggle to get position correctly, it says 5ft behind , it was having a hard time a first picking up the shots. Towards the end I figured out where to stand and swing away and it started to pickup the shots much better. The App on the phone syncs with the device and this gives you all the data plus spin rate(question how they get this info) but non the less the Data is there. Took it out on Sunday.. And see if the numbers improve or stay consistent .
  11. Well I have broken down and purchase the VC Swing Caddie 300i. I have been looking into this for awhile, but I finally did it. Looking forward to testing out tomorrow at the range. https://voicecaddie.com/products/swing-caddie-sc300i
  12. Continued my 3 times a week chipping and putting ritual. This is getting pretty consistent now. This was chipping from 25-30ft..
  13. Looks Like the TF Yellow+ was money.. Ball speed up by 5mphs compare to the other stats. Club Speed, Carry/Total. all look like a step up. I agree the fact that there was no specs to compare made it skeptical but this is by designed, so you don't automatically assume you belong on a Red (expecting that is like X-Stiff shaft). I wish I had to those numbers . Yikes.., impressive. Looking forward to getting mine soon.. hopefully in the next few days. I like to take to the course for a test drive before putting into Tournament play on Sunday.
  14. During the Fitting yesterday.. Colin did mention a couple of items of interest. 1. There is a new a Blue shaft coming out soon, this is supposed to be in between the White and Orange. 2. PGA Player - Collin Morikawa - is schedule to get fit in the next week or so. This could be interesting to see this shaft on the PGA in the near future.
  15. @Scottd88 Welcome to the area.. my home course is Buffalo Creek (even tho I don't play there as much as I should, but I do used the practice area almost everyday) Lets get in touch and play a round.
