I can tell you that we have all been there. I'm been there a couple of times this year. It will quickly come back. I consider @silver & black the poster child for coming back from the shambles. I'm not sure what he did, but the turnaround was amazing. Sometimes we need to just make a change in equipment, and new irons and putter may do the trick.

I just quit worrying about making shots and scoring. I got the mind set to just enjoy playing and not get so serious about my score. It's amazing how much better you do if you stop putting so much pressure on yourself to play well. 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that club was already a fairway finder. SOOOOOoooooo, Enter the MAV... we shall see if its longer as I have quite a few holes where Ive hit numerous solid drives, and I'll know if Im longer rather quickly. I think you’ll like it. I had the MAX-D earlier this year snd it didn’t work for what i wanted. I’ve had the Sub Zero in the bag—-alternating with the Cobra SZ Extreme—for about a month now. It’s been very good.

blackngold_blood 4,622 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Played in a scramble yesterday with a guy that had the Sim Max D driver. I hit it a few times into a field while we were waiting on the tee. Distance wise it was hard to judge but the flight was really nice. I have been struggling with the Proto X the last few rounds so today I traded it for a Sim Max. It isn’t the D version but it may stem the tide for the rest of the season. Especially with the odds being that I have less than a month left of it. 5 Quote What is in my Bag Boy Revolver Driver: PXG Gen2 0811x 10.5* set to small + with a VA Composites Nemesys 55s @ 44.75" Fairway: F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" Irons: Testing the Titleist T200 irons 4-W2 with Project X LZ 5.5 shaft -1/2" and 1* Up Wedge: Titleist SM7 56* with Project X LZ 5.0 shaft Putter: Custom Futura X5 flow neck with a UST Frequency Filtered shaft -1" with a SS wristlock grip Link to post Share on other sites

Everything was a nice baby draw with the D version so I’m hoping at worst it will straighten that out. While some golfers prefer to eliminate the left side of the course, I prefer to eliminate the right. I’m guessing the D version was what I should have went with but a straight up trade and a diminishing season sealed the deal.

There is a pretty long WRX thread about the SIM and SIM Max being fade biased. I have been tinkering to try to reduce the fade bias, just need it to be slightly less fade biased. Once in a while will hit a big push fade so far right that I wonder where that came from. @yungkory - you still having the right miss with the SIM Max? 3 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites

Well that isn’t what I want to hear as that is usually my miss. I have worked hard the last couple years at eliminating the slice that plaqued me for years. Now the big push fade comes into play when I get lazy.

Popular Post Grand Stranded 1,637 Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 The Rogue X irons I've been playing are so strong lofted my set A wedge is 46*. That forced me to change my wedge setup to 52* & 58*. Those two 6* gaps never felt right, and although I loved full and pitch shots with the 52*, I struggled on longer bunker shots, and the 58* wasn't enough. Now that I'll be gaming PXG 0211 irons, I wanted a 54* & 58* setup. I went into the PGASS looking to simply exchange my Vokey 52* under the playability guarantee. That's when chaos ensued.... The salesman told me to try the Glide 3.0 first, and I'm glad I did, They looked great, felt lighter (which I like) and should be a touch more forgiving, so goodbye Vokeys, hello Pings. Then, because enough is never enough... I also tried the Evenroll ER5 Hatchback putter. Even with a 35" I was rolling it beautifully. The PXG Closer I ordered won't even begin to be built until 9/30, so I canceled that order and a 33.5" ER5 will be in the bag instead. Yeesh!!! My head is spinning, and the 0211's won't even be built until next Monday. 10 Quote Driver Epic Max 10.5* Cypher 5.0 Fairway TS2 16.5* Kuro Kage R Hybrids TS2 19* & 21* Kuro Kage R Irons PXG 0211 5-GW MMT 70 Wedges Vokey SM7 52F & 58-M Putter Newport 2.0 33.5" Bag Hybrid 5 stand or 2.5+ Extras Tracy 33.5” G400 Max 9.0* Alta CB Link to post Share on other sites
sirchunksalot 10,165 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Just ordered some Spyguy tee shirts from the main site in black and olive green. They're running a flash sale at $10 a piece for the next few hours and I couldn't turn it down. I did have to make two separate orders as ordering two in one order for the price up to $17.50 each. Glitch, maybe? Been wanting a MyGolfSpy tee for a while and finally got a couple. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
