Anyone play TM High Toe wedges? How do they compare to MG4?

Gorgeous.  I love the two ball for lining up but I've never been able to putt well with them. Like others have said, that's the club you use on darn near every hole - holes in one, eagles, and chip ins excluded of course! - and I believe in spending as much as it takes to buy a beautiful club that will take my playing partner's attention off my putting  and onto my putter!

Very nice! Stock or aftermarket/upgrade shaft?

The GT3 is a lovely driver. I really liked the sound and feel. Great club head speed too- definitely gained a couple mph over my Ping, but I expected that as my old Rogue is faster through the air than the Ping too.lol

I kept my Newton shaft for it. I went with the 1k blue stock shaft because I hit it well but had tried it out with my Newton.

Actually kind of surprised that they let it go before the "official" release date of August 23?

Some places here have them but are unable to let anyone take it out of the store until the 23rd.

Curious how the 11 degree driver will pair with your mini.

I ordered it.  

I think it will do well.  I went and hit it at the range this afternoon and was getting the ball flight I had hoped for. I'll take it to the course tomorrow.

Nice. Great that you had a premium shaft and was already gaming Titleist!

I'm still waiting on the Ai Smoke TD Max driver to arrive, but I have the Ventus TR Blue shaft from my old Rogue ST waiting to try with it.

These arrived yesterday after a 3 week wait! If for some reason FootJoy is trolling the MGS forum I have to give a shout out toTrevor and Patrick from the warranty claims department. these shoes were a replacement of a pair of FJ Hyperflex Carbons I had purchased in February. The laces had begun eating through the eyelets and were on the way to being unusable. FootJoy honored my warranty claim even though it was outside of the 90-day warranty and they let me switch styles to these custom MyJoy Packards.

 

That's awesome. There's nothing better than a vendor that stands behind their products. Inside the warranty period, it's expected. When they do it outside of warranty, it speaks volumes about their desire to keep the clients happy and coming back. The positive publicity from this single act of replacing a pair of shoes is something they'd never get by placing an ad on website.

[CdnLefty]

Nice. Mine are in transit right now. 

Can't get here fast enough.

Iron upgrade from my CC Fitting. They wanted $2k to replace 4-6 from ZX4 to ZX5, upgrade shafts and new grips. I laughed and used a buddies Srixon discount for $700 out the door and went full new set.

max Hzrdus blue 70g 6.5 and Ventus Velocore tr blue stiff. It’s the sexiest and best performing driver I’ve ever played

This is an excellent club and the whole line is excellent. I am debating buying one myself as the prices have dropped now and everything Honma from the last 3 years has been phenominal. I just am very happy with my current Yamaha RMX 220. Great choice. The feel and sound of the Honma especially when paired with the matching made-for vizard shaft is really top notch. 

Agree, especially about the Vizard shafts. I got the driver from Rock Bottom. Listed for $298, but they had a sale/coupon going on so I got it for $236 which is an absolute steal for the club. Had store credit for club trade-ins so it was technically "free" but even without the store credit, it would absolutely be worth it at that price. The clubs are awesome but don't seem to have made much of an impression on the US market so they can be had for a song compared to comparable offerings.

I got fitted for a new putter a couple weeks ago and just picked it up last night. It felt great and rolled pure in the store, we’ll see how it does at the local Muni this weekend haha.

Let us know how it goes! When these first came out I wasn't sure on the looks, but from what i've seen of other people playing them the shape is more subtle than I first thought. The alignment looks good too.

Good luck with the new flatstick.

I have an SPG-7. My cats kept knocking it over in the garage so I tethered it to the wall, which has worked

Tried that last night, seems to have held up so far. I have mine outside so it still leans but at least it's standing.

The new Phantoms are disgusting. I want.

Just picked up two (used- Like New Condition) Paradym X woods, 5 and 3. I started with the 5 and couldn’t believe how well I was hitting it. I picked up the 3 and it has been similarly awesome. Even on bad strikes they seem to “go” and stay on the fairway. It has really opened up my options on the tee to play a bit more target golf after I’ve dialed in the distances. I will say that the 3 is hard from a tight lie as I think most are- has to be a perfect juicy strike.
I’m primarily hitting the 5 wood off fairways on par 5’s to reach in two where I’m using the 3 wood for the tee shots when I need less than driver. Couldn’t be happier and wish I got them sooner!

They are excellent. I have to get used to how much easier it is to hit all of my shots. No need to be extra handsy in the wedges anymore.

Huh, looks OK to me.

After the lack of push cart availability prevented me from playing a round yesterday, I pulled the trigger on one today: On sale at Dick's with free shipping. Hoping I can jam it into my travel bag for my next Scotland trip, but that might be too much to ask...
