Had Callaway rewards points just sitting there so I ordered a new wedge.   MD5 with graphite shaft;  should be here within the next year      Figure if I don't like it,  I can always flip it and make a few bucks since the total cost was $0!

 

New toys for boys

hopefully this lasts a while   not cheap but hard to find anyone who has something bad to say

I’ve had mine for a little over a year now, after the first one fell off my bag due to the magnet coming loose from its housing. The only thing I’ve run into with this item is the key ring that holds the magnet to the brush, has started to stretch out (not a circle anymore), that’s how powerful the magnets are.

Is this any better than using a wet towel? I already have a magnetic frogger brush so might look into it after this one lives out its lifecycle (though frogger customer service has been great. replaced a component that I broke at no cost to me) Also don't mind supporting a fellow veteran business.

I lost one of the original ones when it fell off. I have two of the new ones, one for each of the main bags

Edel wedges, unreal man, in the best possible way. I have a fair amount to say so I will write up an unofficial review of the fitting and the wedges. 

Will you actually have them long enough to write a review     I  only say this as someone who has had that issue..ha

Finally got all the boys together!!!

 

You're going to absolutely love them.  I'm loving my ZX5/ZX7 combo as much as any set I've had in several years, I just wish I was a bit stronger yet to take advantage of them, as I'm probably still a good 10 yards short of my already short distance before I got sick.   So still learning my new yardages with them, but the 8-P ZX7 are just so pure feeling.

Not yet, the tech story behind them is pretty intriguing.  I have 3 SM8's on order that i've been waiting on, so I'll be good for a while when those come in....Famous Last Words...i know

Honestly, I still keep a wet towel handy, as I like to clean my grips with it occasionally throughout the round...but I also use the towel to wipe off the grass that the brush pulls out of the grooves...if that makes sense.

I couldn't agree more...although I still haven't been able to hit the 4-5 irons yet, but I've played 3 rounds with the ZX7 6-P, and I love them...very pure.

I've been playing the ZX5s for about 6 months now and they have been awesome. I'm adding a ZX4 4 iron to the bag. Whenever it decides to arrive.

Yeah due to the issues with people loosing them because the magnet wasn’t strong enough the updated them to a better system. So far I’m one round in and still have it

Went to the shop today and rolled just about every putter available, including the new Cobra 3D printed putters

New Pings felt soft, almost too soft off the face.  The insert they are using, combined with the grooves on the insert was a very pleasing sound and feel, but it was overly soft for me.

Rolled the Mizuno M Craft V and VI and really surprised how much I liked the face balanced VI.  However the heel to toe length was just too short for my liking.

Rolled the 3D printed putters from Cobra and I loved how they swung.  Felt like they swung themselves.  What I didn't like was the feel.  Felt very harsh and did not enjoy the sound or feel.

New Spider finish was nice.

Finally tried several of the new V Series Evnrolls.  Really liked the ER2 with the slant neck, but just a bit too much toe hang for me. Short Plumbers neck ER5v was nice, but just didnt suit my eye.  Enter the ER1v with the long plumbers neck.  Loved everything about it from the looks department.  Slightly larger front to back then then my Mizuno blade and the long plumbers neck gave it a bit less toe hang (around 30*).  The Tourtac grip feels super nice and the putter just feels so balanced throughout the stroke.

Guess I will be providing some unofficial thoughts in the new testing thread...

Just picked up a Tensei Pro Orange 50x Proto shaft in trade for my 0211 head.  Gonna plug it into my epic speed head whenever it decides to arrive!  Hopefully I didn’t bite off more than I can chew going with the x stiff in the Pro Version. I know I have the swing speed for it but I prefer a soft feel. I’ll give up the soft feel though if I can eliminate my 2-way miss I currently discovered!

... Hey jlukes, being a more traditional guy when it comes to putters did you roll any of the Vintage Series? I liked the Stingray and agree it seemed to swing itself as far as path is concerned, but I didn't roll any of the 3D models.

Yup they had the Vintage Nova and Sport that I tried too. Same firm feeling off the face that I just didn’t like.

I’ll just leave this.  What a great combo!

I like how they changed the stock grip offerings.  Enjoy it!

It’s a lot more “normal” than the Gravity Grip for sure. Hopefully it gets more people to give it a shot when they try it in a store. The gravity grip is either love or hate

... This apartment living is driving me crazy. First had a Sim2 Max delivered and stolen so PGA SS ordered me a new one but I have been waiting 2 months. TM said the will expedite the order and take it up with FedEx. But no workshop has really been killing me. I do a lot of tinkering and finally had to order a stand, a hardwood top and a vice. PIA to put together but at least I can start pulling shafts and re-installing them, re-grip and anything else I need to do. First up is taking the Steelfiber 95's out of my T100S and installing them in my Cobra Tour irons, then re-installing the Kuro Kage shafts in the T100S. Next after taking the 950GH out of my Cobra's, installing them in my Z Forged after removing the Modus 120's and installing them in my P760's. Happy to come out of retirement and get some work done! I have entered this pic upside down and right side up but it posts upside down which is right in line with how difficult to was to put together!

sounds like you’ll be testing the sturdiness and durability of that table very soon. 

My workaround on the upside down photo bug has been to take a screen shot of the photo on my phone. It’s worked every time so far. 
 

@GolfSpy_THV is there a bug fix in for this issue yet? Figure you might know if there is one.
