beelzeberto Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 just picked up 4-PW Srixon Z785 with AMT white shafts, should be here monday. Pretty pumped about them. I have three or four different sets of shafts to try them out with. DGPro s300, C taper Lite, the AMT whites they're coming with, and eventually the Recoil F4 shafts my P790s are in. 5 Quote Sim / M2 / MG Z785 Brandon Matthews No2 - Not Made for the Tour "buy the ticket, take the ride..."

DawgDaddy Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 1 hour ago, rbsiedsc said: How's the GForce working for you? I have a midsize OW but can imagine the feedback from hitting balls is better than just practice swings. I like the GForce better than the OW, before my back surgery I had the OW and would use it for warm up, I now use the GForce as the warm up club as it is lighter than the whip but heavier than my 7 iron. I especially like to hit balls with it as it will smooth out your tempo in just a swing or two. It has replaced the OW as my all time favorite training aid. 2 Quote Driver - Epic Speed Woods - Mavrik 3 Wood & Epic Flash Heavenwood Hybrid - Epic Flash 4H Irons - Rogue X 5 - AW Wedges - CBX2 54* & 58* Putter - ER2 Rangefinder - NX9 Slope Ball - Vice Pro Soft Drip Bag - Xtreme Cart 7.0 Bag Heather/Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can’t make the D work, I guess that will end my Sim experiment. Maybe I can talk the wife into a TSi3 for my birthday! For those interested, I managed to get out for my maiden voyage with the Sim Max D. I paired it with an Aldila Rogue Black 60R shaft. It was only 50* out which is 20-50* colder than I usually play in. It is without a doubt less fade bias than the Sim Max but I still didn’t find it draw biased at all. If anything it was more neutral/fade for me. I couldn’t get the ball to turn left at all, no matter how hard I tried. That said it wasn’t a slice machine either. I was able to aim left center and hit tiny 5 yard fades in command. When I did really try to put a big draw swing on it, the result was a very straight flight. This resulted in 12/14 fairways hit in the day with a driver I had never swung before. I went straight to the tee from the car. Now distance wise compared to the Proto X is hard for me to determine. As I said it was a lot colder today than when I had hit the PXG but wasn’t more than 5 yards shorter on center hits and 10 yards shorter than the PXG on the 1 extreme toe and 1 extreme heel hits I had. I can’t wait to get thing thing out again. It is suppose to be in the mid 70’s next weekend so hopefully I can get out again. Also the difference in face height is huge for me. 7 Quote What is in my Sun Mountain C-130 bag Driver: G430 LST 9*(set at big minus) with a BGT Brava X shaft @ 45.25” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: ZX5 4-PW with Modus 105S Wedge: Zipcore 50* bent to 48* Putter: SIK Jo slant neck @ 33” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post edingc Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Pulled the trigger on the biggest golf purchase of my life this afternoon. After working with one of our local shops and also L.A.B. customer service (thanks, Matt!), I custom ordered a L.A.B. DF 2.1 mallet. The full specs are: 36" 68 Degree Lie Angle Black Nickel Finish Press II 3* Grip BGT Stability Tour Shaft Combination of No. 18 and No. 19 sightlines I was a little hesitant to drop so much on a putter, but I think the tech in these is for real. And if it gets me to practice a little more, that's an added bonus. The putter should be in by the end of the month. I think it's going to look really sharp with the black head, shaft and grip. I laughed a little because the shop owner called me to get my credit card info and he was like, "You do know how much this is, right?"

dlow206 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Bought some short compression socks to wear when I play. These are ankle height compression socks, not the over calf ones. Mainly hoping it will result in my big toe hurting less after a round of walking. 3 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
