Love this post. 
 
Some takeaways:
- Good routines start the night before. Setting up the bag with the “walking essentials” the night before is a great way to start.  (6balls, 2gloves, rangefinder, water bottle, 10-20 tees, market, ball market, divot tool, etc)
- Good Routines are consistent. For me, tees left pocket, ball / ball marker right pocket, glove and yardage book(and scorecard) back right. Magnetic strip for rangefinder and towel on carry handle of bag. (Bought magnetic strip online) 
- Break into pieces: Think preshot and pressing routine. Preshot (yardage, wind, lie, target, club, etc)…Preswing (standing over the ball cues). 
- Dont forget post-shot routine. I personally use “TRAIN” for post shot.. (T)en seconds to (R)ecognize and responsibility (A)ccept (I)nvestigate and (N)eural cue. *this is in my yardage book*
Ten Seconds: Self Explanatory 
Recognize and responsibility: Recognize emotions and take responsibility for shot. Gaining awareness of this will help our mental game.
Accept: Accept outcome, knowing that you have the skills to recover or continue momentum of good shots
Investigate: determine if it was a mental error or technical error. If mental, ensure you are going through your full routine.
Neutral: bring yourself back to the present moment by feeling the ground underneath your feet, the breeze on your face, etc.
 
Hope this help. In the end you have to practice the routine. For competition, and for my players, we get deeper into routines such as snacks, water, filling out the scorecard, etc. 
 

Same here. I also like to see data that demonstrates actual improvement. Not just subjective (feel better), but actual data that translates to measurable change on the  course. 

Recently made the switch from a Titleist 505 driving iron to a Stealth 2, 3 hybrid.
Matched them side by side on the trackman and on the course. Blinded a few friends to all the data, and every single one of them chose the Hybrid. 

In the end it came down to the numbers. Take them both for a spin and see what you like and don’t like. I agree with personal preference, as long as the numbers sing the same song.

Testers Announced! Titleist T Series Irons

For full details check out this link -https://mygolfspy.com/news-opinion/titleist-t-series-irons/
This is the third generation of T-Series Irons from Titleist since they moved on from the AP lineup. This generation of T-Seriers introduces two “new” irons to the lineup in the T150 (replacement for the T100S) and the T350. 
Here is a breakdown highlight of the series.
Titleist T100 - The most played iron on the PGA Tour there wasn’t much to change from the previous version. However Titleist worked to improve the feel, create tighter dispersion and updated the variable bounce sole. 

Titleist T150 - One of the “new” models the T150 retains the looks and progression that the T100 made but with a slightly thicker topline and slightly wider sole to create a more forgiving package while retaining improved ball speeds by an updated Muscle Channel.

Titleist T200 - A non-clicky backplate! However in all seriousness the T200 for 2023 is where some big improvements were made. With some updates to the topline and finish the T200 retains the same size as the previous version with what will likely be a more appealing look. Titleist have moved the speed boosting Max Impact Core closer to the heel and face of the golf club to improve sound and forgiveness. 

Titleist T350 - The replacement for the T300, the T350 comes in a package that matches the rest of the T-Series much better. It is a larger, more forgiving iron than the T200 and for Titleist is their Ultimate Game Improvement Iron. 

However most all of you know all that and are eager to hear if you were selected for testing! 
Please welcome and congratulate our testers!
T100 - @bens197
T150 - @Ben Joest
T200 - @GregB135
T350 - @ole gray
**While Testers were selected for those as their main sets, Titleist is working with all of them to ensure they are fit properly. Meaning split sets are an option for each tester.**

I use the arccos and Apple Ultra Watch tandem. 
 
BLUF: Great tool if you do the backend work (change pins, shot review, etc)
 
I have used the majority of the products you described and I still use Arccos. With that said I am pretty diligent on making the adjustments on the fly to get good numbers and data tracking (proximity to hole and review of data on the back end).
I am a believer all can work, just need some extra time to ensure data is good for analysis. 

Spent some time at the local range with the trackman bay. Focus was irons today and got some quality work in with some Army buds. 
Looking to upgrade my older set, so I was taking a peek at the numbers. What do you all think of these numbers, 7 iron?

Played the last two days and really playing some good golf.

Still on the hunt for a sub 70 round. Only did it once before, and feel I am getting close. Data tracking and metrics have really helped identify areas for growth.

That said, just tracking stats doesn’t improve your game.  You can improve with the stats you listed, but the key is understanding how to interpret them and what actions you need to take.  

This might answer your question:

Played yesterday and shot a 79 for the first time! it has been a goal of mine for a long time! I think starting to play a consistent ball and using the same grips on all my clubs really helped. 

I've been going through some swing changes this year and it hasn't been easy. A lot of people say it gets worse before it gets better. Today felt like the first step in the right direction. Was striking the ball well all day and had my lowest score of the year. Hoping to keep playing consistent and reach my goal of being a single handicap by the end of the year. For anyone else going through swing changes, keep your head up and trust the process!

My advice after many years of experience is to never be an early adopter. I have read reviews that say it clicks all the time no matter the swing or the setting. Other reviewers  said they couldn't  get it to click no matter what. It could be a problem with the uniformity of the magnet strength. My opinion is there needs to be more time to assess the problems of new device and insure quality control  before you consider buying.

I would suggest that you test the NS Pro 850GH shaft. this shaft is made specifically for Titleist and not available directly from Nippon. I have them in my set of T 100S irons and love them.

I have been playing golf for 15 years, and my handicap is a 6.
I love golf because it the perfect combination of tranquility, stress and integrity. It’s you and the course, which are often beautiful, battling each and every stroke. 
 Product reviews and new and up and coming release. I am new and do not know any spies.
Originally Ohio, home course was Moss Creek. Currently Washington, and home course is Chambers Bay. 
Best, the beauty, worst the price.
