This is a necro post from last year. Your T100S' are fine.

Obviously, some guys just get on with a 3 wood better for whatever reason. But it seems more logical that, loft for loft, a higher MOI option (driver) will give better results than a lower MOI option (3 wood). So if you equalize shaft length and loft, driver should give you more forgiveness on mishits than 3 wood. Driver CG will give a higher launch (again at the same loft).

I think all the testing has proved that if you were fit well into last year's heads (Sim2), your gains in BS on center strikes will be minimal in Stealth . Better BS on off center strikes is probably where you will see differences, especially if you have a consistent miss tendency and can minimize it with an adjustable head. However, that didn't keep me from buying a custom Stealth+ sight unseen despite liking my fit in Sim2. I gotta say that so far I love the Stealth+.

Sorry, I missed this. I got my set in less than 3 weeks. They quoted 6-8. Needless to say, I was overjoyed. I have really liked them so far.

Driver: 8*SIM 45" VA Drago -> 8*Sim2 46.5" RDX Smoke Black 6.0, Jumbomax Lite Med Hybrid: SIM Max GOST -> SIM2 Max 5 wood, RDX Blue 6.0, MCC+4 Mid Irons: TM P790 KBS Tour C Taper 4-GW -> Srixon ZX5 (4,5) ZX7(6-PW) PX LZ 6.0, Tour Velvet Mid Wedges: Mizuno T20 (54,60) -> Cleveland Zipcore black (50,54,58) Tour Velvet Mid Putter: Odyssey Ten -> Scotty Cameron X12, Superstroke Flatso 2.0 Bag and 3 wood are the same......

Combo sets are great (just got fit into ZX5/ZX7), better with some sets that were designed to blend. But your ideal set will depend on what you need and how you hit them, so it may or may not be what the manufacturer intended. I expected to need to adjust loft on the ZX5s to fit the ZX7s but the 6 iron to 5 iron gapping was spot on.

I just bought a ZX5/ZX7 Combo set. Thought about waiting for the new T100s, but too impatient. I found something I really like and I'll go with it until I find something I like better, whether it's in in 6 months or 6 years!

It Burns!

BTW, I also have the 4-5 in ZX5 and 6-PW in the ZX7. Killer combo. I thought about the 6 iron in ZX5, but the gapping wasn't as clean and the ZX7 was pretty forgiving and feel great.

The ZX5s are more efficient (higher smash), so you might not need the loft gaps of the ZX7 since the ZX5 with the same loft will go further. But it shouldn't be off by much, 1-1.5*, so you can bend it once you get it, if needed. I would definitely do a gapping session on a LM with the 5 and 6 irons.

This is definitely a good idea and would really catch on as long as it's stable.

Short Par 4, about 230 carry over water, usually with wind. Long isn't great unless you get in a bunker. left and right are both wet. The smart play is 7-8 iron (~175yds), then a wedge in. Pretty easy par. Almost everyone goes for the green, with lots of doubles. Maybe 1 in 10 hit the green.

I have been fit at CC several times, but have not bought clubs there, as I have friends in the industry that can get it for much less. As has been pointed out, they are a full retail+ end of the spectrum. Some folks will want that, so will not. FWIW, I told the fitters up front that I was not going to buy from them and they were very professional, and I go no attitude at all.

Tensei Orange is a CB shaft. TXG was using the Ventus Blue which is not CB. All things equal, the CB shaft will lower SW, so the Ventus will need the weight in the head reduced to stay at the same SW.

TXG compared the ProV to the Velocity. Bottom line: At Matt's 118 MHP CS speed, ProV was longer. left dash will be even longer at higher speeds. V

Apex 21 in the pen with Miuras in the bag? Baller. How have you liked the Miuras? Why the Apexes?

Another reason for the CG higher in the more lofted wedges is getting mass behind the strikes higher on the face with the lofted clubs out of rough, bunkers, etc. Same reason the high toe and eye 2 shapes are good in those conditions.

You are correct that TP5 is softer and spins more, but it's also lower compression and suited to a slower swing speed. The TP5X will be longer for a faster swing speeds, but not for at 95 SS, which won't compress the TP5X. OP would likely be a better fit and see better performance with the TP5. But always start with the ball you like in short game and work your way back to the tee. If you like the firmer feel of the TP5x, go with it.

Arccos really pays off with having the data with which to make good decisions. Otherwise it's guesswork.

As has been said, and wisely, you need to test it yourself. Any new club should be tested vs your current gamer. In general, your good strikes will not be that different in performance, assuming your old driver fits you well. You should get better performance in heel/toe and low/high strikes. So better dispersion and consistency/strokes gained. But not necessarily better on your best shots or max distance. YMMV.

Generally, a slower swing tempo (not necessarily speed) will like additional weight to feel the head. Matsyuama and his pause and an extreme - he plays an 8 weight in his driver, which is usually a 5 wood/hybrid weight. He plays 9 in his 3W. If you like the weight in your driver, you will probably want keep the progression as you suggested. But like everything in golf, you have to test it. You might have different swing characteristics off the deck.

I have been fitted twice at CC and bought the clubs elsewhere. The first fitter was a little better and there's always going to be variability in experience level/ability, etc. at a big company like them. Both times they were patient and allowed me to come back to confirm the fit when I was fresh. I actually went back a 3rd time for the driver as I was trying to decide between 2 shafts. I told them up front that I preferred to try to fit the manufacturer offered upgrade shafts. They had no problem doing that. The second time I tried to fit into a manufacturer offered upgrade shaft, but got much better numbers with a VA shaft TM didn't offer. They tried to sell me clubs, but didn't make a big deal, pressure me or give me attitude. I saved a ton by buying elsewhere. A fitting at TXG in Toronto would be like going to Disneyland on Christmas, and what I aspire to do someday.
