dlow206 5,206 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think PGA Tour Superstore made a pricing mistake. I know the Cobra Speedzone and Speedzone Xtremes are now down to $349.99, but I was just able to buy a Speedzone Xtreme Pars and Stripes with a Ventus Velocore Blue 6S for $349.99.

Price-wise the KSigs are slightly cheaper per glove. The four new gloves plus one new MG that I still have will last me through next season, hopefully. 5 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 9.7 (Last Updated Nov. 27, 2020) Driver: Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme (10.5°, Draw), 44.5", Aldila Rogue Silver 60 (110 MSI) Stiff 17° Hybrid: Callaway Super Hybrid, 41.5", Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro Orange 80 Hybrid Stiff 21° Hybrid: Callaway Epic Flash, 40", Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Silver 80 Hybrid X-Stiff 5-7: Cobra SpeedZone, 2° Flat, 37" 7 Iron, KBS C-Taper Lite 115 X-Stiff 7-GW: Maltby PTM Chrome, 1° Flat, 37" 7 Iron, KBS C-Taper Lite 110 Stiff 54°, 58°: Cobra KING MIM Black, 3° Flat, -1/2" (54°), -1/4" (58°), KBS C-Taper Lite 115 X-Stiff Putter: L.A.B.

McaseyM 1,693 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well, over the last few weeks I’ve had an near entire bag overhaul. First, my Cleveland launcher HB fairway hasn’t worked very well for me in the Long run, and I found an F9 3/4 wood that someone Had paired with a driver and they agreed to split the listing and sold for $120 and once I installed the Aldila tour blue 75x, I had a rocket launcher in my hands... so easy to hit!! Then on IG, Bryangolf shared a giveaway that someone won from him for an F9 driver with an Accra 65g x stiff shaft.... and I got lucky and won!! Finally, a guy local to me listed On FB marketplace a Srixon blended set of z585 4i-6i, z785 7i-PW for $450 or trade for a more forgiving set....so after a little back and forth, I traded my Cleveland CBX 4i-PW heads + $100 for the srixon heads And he swapped all of the heads, reinstalled everything and delivered them the next morning!!! So, my signature has changed and upgraded significantly!! still rocking the CBX wedges though... they are money for me! 6 Quote What's in my bag: Driver : F9 10.5, Accra TZ5 Proto 65 M5 Fairway F9 15.5° Aldila Tour Blue 75X Hybrid: King F7 18° KBS Tour PROTO Hybrid 95 S+ Irons: z585 4i - 6i, z785 7i-PW, TT DG S300 HS 1x Wedges: CBX 50.11, 55.11, 60.10 TT DG S400 Black Putter: Honey Badger 34" Ball: Q-Star Tour Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Stranded 1,364 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Today was the day... my PXG 0211 iron set arrived!!!! Wow! The guys who talked about the packaging these come in weren't kidding around. Mine arrived in a box within a box, LOL. The outer one was the size a golf bag would come in, and inside was the over the top PXG one. Comes with a handle, and when you open it, each club is encased separately in foam, then protected by foam layers. Now for the clubs themselves.... I ordered 5-GW with the regular flex MMT 70 gram shafts, and had the lofts adjusted to match the power specs in PING G410 irons. My reasoning for this being I wanted a more precise iron than my Rogue X, but didn't want to give up too much distance to get it. I also liked the idea of lessening the bounce to suit local course conditions. We'll see if I did the right thing, but in theory I think I used sound judgement here. These things are stunning, even prettier than in the pictures online. They are the best looking set I've owned since my all-time favorite, which was a set of Mizuno MX-20's that I owned years ago. At set up, the 7-GW look perfect, exactly what I like when looking down on a club. Thin top line, slightly longer than normal from heel to toe. As others have said, very i500-ish. One issue at first glance are the 5 & 6 at setup. The topline is great, and I knew there would be a bit of junk in the trunk with these, as the 0211's are a progressive set, but... What jumps out (pun intended) is how different that "junk" appears in these two clubs. It is really pronounced at the heel with these, with a very squared off look. I can't think of another iron like it. If I had my wish, this would've been rounded off quite a bit, but I'm willing to give the PXG engineers the benefit of the doubt here, as I'm sure they did this for a reason. It's a very strange look though, and we'll have to see how it goes. I'll get used to it if the performance is there. The combination of these heads, shaft and the stock PXG grip is stunning visually. I've read about a lot of people hating the grips, but they feel fine to me. The shafts are beautiful, I love the matte black finish, and they give the club a very light, easy to swing feel. These clubs actually feel lighter than the Rogue X set I'm coming out of, which is something I wasn't expecting. That's all good though, as I've really grown to like a light feel in my irons as I've gotten older. Unfortunately it's raining here today, and I can't take these to the range, but tomorrow is another day. This is a bad time to break in a new set though. Aside from the fact I've been off with my old irons lately, I have the biggest of our club's tournaments being played on each of the next 3 Tuesdays. The smart move would be to stick with the Rogue X, MD4, and Odyssey setup I've been playing, but looking at a bag of brand new 0211's, not to mention still wrapped up Glide 3.0 wedges and Evnroll ER5 putter will make that a very hard decision! 6 1 Quote Driver G400 Max 9* Alta R Fairway Rogue 15* Quaranta Hybrids Rogue X 18* & 20* Synergy R Irons PXG 2021 0211 5-GW MMT70 Wedges Vokey SM7 52F & 58-M Putter Newport 2.0 33.5" Bag Hybrid 5 or 4.0 In reserve Rogue X 23* Tracy 33.5" Link to post Share on other sites
