Y'know, I thought it was just me but I would have thought we would have started hearing stuff about the Cobra Connect Challenge by now if it was still being held (which after last year, I can see being up in the air). But yeah, usually by now there would have been some stuff from folks like Cleveland, Wilson/Staff, etc. 

I know Wilson Staff is planning to have a “Staff Model” launch from putter through driver in 2023. 

[Favorite Non-Urethane Ball?]

Duo Soft + or Duo Spin have been my favorite for a few years. The Zip too. The softer compression allows me to play more without my hands killing me. 

[Favorite Driver Shafts of All Time 🐐]

Grafalloy Blue, the one that was all blue with the white logo sphere. Since they did away with that one the UST Pro Force has been my go to. 

[What is a club you regret selling/wish you still had?]

Once upon a time I had a Wilson Staff DXI 19* 5-wood that was amazing. Was my favorite club for years. Wish I had it back, never been able to find another. 

[WITB Grips]

My personal favorites have been the Super Stroke wrap style grips. Been a fan of the Golf Pride but found these on sale and like them even more. 

[Favorite Non-Urethane Ball?]

Been playing the Wilson Staff Duo and 50 Elite for several years. Haven’t found a ball that feels or performs better in the price range. I honestly don’t have any issues with spinning it either, so there’s that.

Same. My miss is a hook and pretty much always has been. 

Same here, so when I do, I say what the hell was that!?!?

[Best ball under $40]

Wilson Staff Duo Professional

[When to (realistically) upgrade your driver?]

I finally purchased a “new” driver mid 2021 a brand new still in the plastic SLDR TP. My previous driver was a Ping Rapture V2. Honestly, on the monitor and course there is almost zero difference. Always felt though that having another option to switch to helps keep my driver in good spirits knowing it can replaced at any given moment. Lol

[How many brands are in your bag?]

Depending on which putter I bring with me it’s 3-4. 

[Favorite brand fairway woods]

I’ve always been a big fan of the older Sonartec to be honest. Really like the smaller thinner profile in those higher lofted woods that I’ll be hitting off of the ground.

[Testers ANNOUNCED! Wilson D7 Forged Irons]

Matt Olmsted, Oklahoma

Handicap - 5

Current iron model - Wilson Staff V2

Would love to put these in the bag and review them. Would be great to show these off to everyone.
