    Ordered 52/56/60 SM8 raw wedges, they came in and unfortunately they built the 52 to the wrong length. Moving to a 4 wedge setup after basically always playing 3. Next step is to figure out how to combine my hybrid and 3 iron.

    I struggle with the concept that golf equipment should be immune from inflation, supply and overall macroeconomic policy.
    Google any simple CPI inflation calculator and type in the price of a PING TiSi driver in January 2000.  It was $399, I bought one.
    Today that $399 would be $645.31.
    A PING G425 driver from any big box is $499.
    Sounds like we're doing OK.

    TheProfessor reacted to RickyBobby_PR in Mizuno caught red handed! Anyone else have recent build issues?   
    It’s not like Mizuno purposely tried to sneak something by. 1) mistakes happen 2) in the current climate it’s even more likely. The chances of any ill intent by Mizuno are slim

    I am predominantly a ProV1X player but I was able to try the new ProV1 and they performed well, I also like the ProV1X left dash.

    Great field this week, I think Brooks or DJ might get it done. Should be a good event.

    It's interesting to look at but as others have said there have to be flaws with it. My current MP-20 MBs are rated as slightly more forgiving than JPX-900 Tours (which I used to play) and that is definitely not the case in my experience.

    I don’t think a weight drop is going to help a ton with getting winded. But I would target a profile you know works for you, I played 80+ gram driver shafts forever, dropped to the low 70s more recently and my current driver is classified as a 65 but is a bit heavier. I like it because I feel like I can get more speed but still control it well.

    New to the forums, I've been following MGS reviews and most wanted lists for a while so I thought I would get involved here.
    How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Been playing since I was a kid, seriously practicing and playing for 20+ years.
    What do you love about golf? I would say the constant challenge of trying to get better and learn new shots and improve. And the feeling when you hit a shot the way you want to is hard to beat. 
    What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I don't know any, I've been reading reviews posted on the site for a while now and I love to talk golf so I thought I would get involved with the forums. 
    Where are you from? What is your home course? Houston, TX. Home course would be Memorial Park if anything but I play all over. 
    What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is playing year round, worst is either the heat during the summer or some of the drives needed to reach different courses because of how spread out the city it.
    What do you do for a living? Project manager at a fabrication yard. 
    How’d you pick your user name? I picked it as my tag when I played Halo way back when from the And1 basketball videos believe it or not. Also it sort of fits my personality.

    Tourstriker Smart ball for me. My arms tend to get very disconnected from my turn and the club goes inside, really helps with feeling more connected.
