I have not yet put a G410 tip on it so it's available for you if you want. I also have weights of varying sizes...Just let me know. 3 Quote In my DLX Cart Bag: Driver: G410 SFT, set to 9.5*, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 60, stiff (MGS Official 2019 Tester) 3W: G-Series SF TEC, set to 16*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 5W: G400 SFT, set to 19*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 7W: G410 SFT, set to 22*.

Then went through M6, Big Bertha and realized the Mizuno LH Demo was returned finally and they set it up. Kinda liked it, a lot.

Will_Mac 206 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I grabbed a Rogue 3W off of CPO. Wanted a lower trajectory and "oooo doggie" does the x-flex Matrix Black Tie 75M4 provide that in this clubhead?!Rainy day, grip somewhat compromised so jury is still out on real world results. But yeah, it hit low today. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cnosil 14,707 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Had some time this morning so I dropped by my local golf shop and was browsing through the used club section and found these. Would have preferred if they were the 5 series, but you never know what you will find in a used shop. Only a few dings, doesn't look like they were played much, and they had my preferred KBS Tour 120 shafts so I gave them a whirl and hit them well. I traded in my backup set and got 5-AW for an additional $100. Thinking about gaming only 6-AW and replacing the 5 with another hybrid. 8 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

Ymmv ...The shaft/grip combo with no up charge Mizuno offers is incredible. I wasn’t shopping price just what felt good. This particular fitter (kid) had a lot of patience with me and EXPLAINED everything he was doing and that helped. I’m touchy, feely but I do want to know the thought process.
