The 5w was always on the chopping block. Put the Newton shaft in the mini and kept at my driver length. Was hitting shot after shot like I wanted.  Plan on getting it to the course tomorrow. 

I wish that newton had Hybrid shafts , I am looking for the highest launch model for a hybrid I can find thats good quality. I have the TM mini let me know how u like the Newton in your mini, did u just get the 3 wood shaft for itt ?

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 can appreciate the effort to try and get them their bikes back to prevent a loss of revenue. But you can only try so much before just saying "f it."

I'll keep an eye on my card but I'll also reach out to Mizuno tomorrow to let them know about it and we'll see what they say. If they just say keep them, I'll be happy to put them on the classifieds at a good deal for folks.

I know it's on the agenda according to Angelo but he didn't have a dare yet. I'm sure you could tip a wood shaft and make it work.  May be worth a call. 

I am using my driver shaft on the mini and left it at my 44.75in length. I am really liking the Callaway mini and only wish they made it in the 11* for us lefties. 

I have not tried the TM mini but they do carry it in 11* but are months out currently for left handed.

Went to Golf Galaxy with four old clubs, came back with these balls and a piece of paper. 

The  Chrome Tour won the Callaway white box test for me and I wanted to try the Truvis balls. I love the Taylormade TP5X Pix but it’ll be fun gaming these. 

The main reason for the GG visit was to trade in clubs and take advantage of the Callaway double trade in offer. Now have to wait until August for my Ai Smoke Max (9* x-stiff shaft) to arrive. Couldn’t resist. 
@IndyBonzo- do you have yours yet? In not what’s the ETA?

Hey Oz!  I have mine in-hand.  Loving it so far and still dialing in.  Hope you get yours fast!

Good to hear you have yours! I can’t wait to get down the range and on the sim with it and do a little driver group test

My first box of goodies came in yesterday. 

Winn 2020 vsn midsized pistol putter grip. Royal midsized putter grip, and a maltby .370 smooth taper shaft in chrome black. And a grip install kit.

Will be building my first putter from scratch.

Just remember building it yourself now means it could be the arrow and the Indian!

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. 

5 weeks to reshaft irons?! Even with ordering new components that's seems excessive.

I won the TM mini in a raffle but 13.5 , if I keep it it becomes my defacto up and over dog leg driver.

Different kind of 3 putt -- buying your 3rd LAB putter

[gingerbeast87]

Not a club, but just bought myself a set of Garmin CT10 sensors.  Got them ready for the new Vice clubs i will be testing when they arrive in a few weeks!!  I love swing data, i love to go through my shots after i have played, and i love gadgets  Anyone else use them out there?

Ummm,  they sent you 2 different colors and they are for the same foot.   

That's not a bad idea wearing 1 of each color on the course

I never thought about doing one on each foot, I just have so many top/bottom combos so I went with both black and white pairs. I could definitely put together an outfit

So, I didn’t buy a new putter, but I did win this Scotty Cameron in a golf tournament this past weekend. Had it bent and cut down to my specs.

Thank you and you wouldn’t like the way to qualify. It was a Texas Wounded Warrior event. They were extremely generous to us over the weekend. They gave out gift certificates for the winners so, I selected the putter. They also covered our rooms, dinners and golf. The organizers were awesome!

I have 28 years in the service, and you are right.  I will just settle for the disability rating that i did receive.  Thanks go out to all the wounded warrior veterans that attended.
