Love the drip…

My OCD wouldn't let me play it. I'd be scrubbing it trying to find some dirt. In the fairway, I'm looking for mud/dirt to determine if there are any chances of it disrupting flight, Do you find it harder to see mud/dirt?

I agree. I'd put them ahead of the TP5 no question. Ahead of the Left Dash and Chrome Tour for value and equal as far as performance. Maxfli Tour X is equal performance wise, but a better value @ 4/dz-$99-$109. I'd play the Diamond in a tournament right now! No questions asked. Great ball.

I just didn't get the performance from the Maxfli when I tested it out. Granted, it was only a sleeve rather than a full dozen. It was close but for the edge went to Srixon. I really do like the new TP5 but it's just cost prohibitive.

Not particularly, as the brown/black still stands out against the orange/blue spatter. From a focus standpoint, I find them helpful, as I can pick out a spec to focus on during the swing

Picked up some new wedges! Sub 70 JB Forged Raw in 54° and 58°. Shout out to @GolfSub70 for accommodating customizations!

Had the wedges lengthened and lie adjusted to match my irons. Also went with the Nippon Modus3 120g to match, but went down a flex to Reg. First started thinking about this after the Ping community call where that was suggested. Really excited to see how that translates onto the course, early results in the backyard have been great!

Also picked up a “well-loved” Srixon Z H85 3 hybrid. Maybe a little more worn than I was expecting, but for $40 I can’t complain too much still feels great.

These are sharp looking!

more golf tees, i keep on losing like 3-4 every round

I dont think I ever bought tees. I just look down while Im waiting for the group ahead to clear and pick up the plastic ones left behind.  Thank you I suppose

I just ordered a pair of Skechers Max Fairway shoes in black. I've only got grey and white shoes, so I wanted something in a darker color. 

I won't get them until Friday which is a little bit of a bummer, but hopefully they'll be worth the wait.

Just received a second Callaway org 14 bag as a service award from my company.  First one was black and arrived with two of the rain cover snaps broken off.  Callaway quickly sent a replacement and even let me change the color.  I asked the representative why only black was offered and he told me that they always had black in stock so companies choose it so it ships immediately.  Some of the other colors are frequently on back order.  First impressions -> It's nice but the rain cover seems backwards and the velcro for glove attachment is way too low

Mr. Palmer had a full barn full of golf clubs, GOAT status.

Not golf equipment but something new to tote around my sticks. The Lincoln served its purpose but this will go on the beach with ease.

Just received my Nexgen Nano-X Pro Tour+ glove. Obviously haven't used it yet but it fits like a glove

Well, my Mizuno woods/hybrid arrived today. But I think someone at HQ might have messed up my order. Trust me, you're not seeing double. Gonna call Monday to get things straightened out.

Ordered 5, sent 10.

2 drivers, 2 3w, 2 5w, 2 7w, 2 5h.

Exact duplicates, grips, shaft, and all.

Firstly,  double check your credit card and invoice!  

Second, was there any notes or something to point why they sent doubles?

Maybe someone was about to quit and decided to show them the middle finger by double packing orders!

Hasn't hit my credit card yet. I bought them through Golf Galaxy, and even GG doesn't show any shipping details yet. My order history only shows a single order, so that's not it. I'll keep an eye on both until something hits.

I posted this in a different thread because I wasn't sure the best place for it, but after seeing the other post on the newer Vice Dripped golf balls, figured y'all might enjoy the info too:

The 2020 model Vice Pro Golf balls are on a steal of a sale at Sam's Club right now; 24 balls for $30 ($1.25/ball).

Not clubs but always love adding a new pair of shoes to the rotation. Even better for a good price. Burlington has become a weekly stop for me to see if they have any golf shoes. Picked these for $30. Spikeless Nikes are some of my go-tos when I’m going to walk a round

 

Those look comfortable

@GolfSpy_BEN Makes for more refined focus instead of just picking a dimple, Do they play well for you? I been thinking about giving them a go.

Definitely keep an eye on your card, but Golf Galaxy messed up an order of mine in the past. But if Mizuno made the mistake, they may just tell you to keep them.

That's crazy! Hopefully you weren't double charged and can get this all straightened out. Maybe they sent extra so a friend or family member could try them out?

Had my CC full bag fitting yesterday for Fathers Day. We started with the 6i and after about 90 swings, we settled on retrofitting my current set Srixon ZX5 with KBS Tour C Taper X Stiff at 1.5” longer. Previously gaming KBS Tour 110 R Shafts at 1” longer. (Holding off on this until after seasons over as I’d have to give up irons for 5 weeks to be built)

We then moved to wedges and was fit for the Taylormade MG4 54.13 and 58.11 with KBS 610 Wedge S+ at 1.5” longer. *Purchased* Upgrading from Cleveland RTX 588 56 and 60 Full Face with KBS Tour 110 R at 1”

We tried doing a driver but after the iron fitting I was tired and couldn’t get any distance or lift on my driver. We know where we need to be - upgrade from Stiff to X Stiff. Will go back on 17th to finish that portion.

Lastly came the putter. Current gamer being a Scotty Newport Notchback at 34”. I did a good amount of manipulating the face with my hands to square it back up. So we went into the L.A.B. at 37” length with the DF3 with Accra shaft. The feel of this putter was unlike anything I ever hit. My hands can be soft as the club quite literally does the work. I was thoroughly impressed.

TL:DR - Pulled trigger on Taylormade MG4 in 54.13 and 58.11 with KBS 610 Wedge S+ Shafts and a L.A.B. DF3 Putter in Black with Black Accra shaft. Now the impatience starts of the build getting done.

I like them. They seem to be as long as any other ball I’ve played and they have a nice feel off of the putter face. That said, it’s been a couple years since I bought a dozen and I haven’t played the latest iteration, so I’ll know more after this afternoon’s round.

Wow. I'm with the wait and see group .. maybe you'll luck out and end up with two sets for the price of one! 

So a few years ago I'd ordered a bicycle from Decathlon (used to make and distribute Inesis golf gear); it came, no problem. A few days later a second one showed up - no I wasn't charged and I went back and forth with them and eventually got them to pick it up and take it back. 

A few days later *another* shows up and I just happened to be home when the FedEx guy pulled up - just said, no thanks I'm refusing delivery. He looked at me funny but left it on the truck and took off. 

Ok no joke - another few days and ANOTHER big box is sitting in front of the garage....

So now I have two of the same bike!

I don't have stats, sorry, but, I am 1000% happier with putting any face balanced mallet type, and, here I go again, cross handed, the front hand half on the bottom of the grip and up to half on the shaft pointing down.  I had a Musty wood mallet I liked more than a very nice TM Model 7 bronze Newport/Anser style from way back.  But ditched it when I learned about toe hang and when I went xhand.  Had a great Odyssey center shaft.  Stolen.  Got a Sxotty Futura X, circa 2015, big thing, with the curving out wings.  But too unstable short.  Landed my current Odyssey Stroke Lab "R" ball and no longer hunting.  Tho:   I also like Edel F1 Array, 4.0 and 5.  Many Ping balanceds. Some Evnroll.  Spyders are good but I thing a wedge shape is the most stable for long and short.  Spyders are great on short. Cobra SIK good.  Cleveland 14.  If you decide to try a fitting I would certainly try Sacks Parente, two experienced design guys on their own now.  New Mizuno, but too $$$ since I am very happy with my current. Shefflerrrrrrr$$$$$$ is on mallets and now is threatening to move past Bill Gates in wealth.  I live in S Diego, have 5 yes 5 Golf Mart stores in my reach, and spent many many hours over 3 years hitting putters in all 5 before landing on the "R" Ball.  It has 2 piece multi material shaft and a large counter balance grip too.  Best of all worlds for me.

consider trying a center shafted putter some time, I have a Scotty Golo S mid mallet I got of FB marketplace and a Phantom 5S that I splurged on , out of over a dozen putters they are 2 and 1 respectively.
