I had been thinking of adding the wedge to smooth out my chipping so yesterday on ebay I bought an Orange Whip Wedge Training Aid 56º, which is essentially the same but I saved about $50, it is lightly used and the grip still in the wrapper.. It will be here next week. 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. 1 Quote Driver: Epic Max LS with RDX Blue 70g S (Testing Ventus Velocore Blue 6s 45") 2H: Super Hybrid with Tensei Orange Pro Hyb 80 Stiff (Testing Ventus Velocore Blue 8s Hyb) 3H: 939X UST proforce V2 black F5 hybrid soft stepped 4-AW: 0211 with KBS Tour Stiff 2.5* up 1/4" long Unofficial Review Wedges Zipcore Tour Rack 54/full and 58/mid (review here) (Backup 54*,60*: S Tour KBS Tour Stiff 3* up) Putter: TAII #2 Review here: TAIII Impact #2 Putter Ball: MTB-X and vero X1 (Winter ball proV1 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beelzeberto 215 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..."

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 - Mavrik with Reg.

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 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
