Not expecting these shafts to be a miracle for me, just hoping they are easier on the body than steel shafts. I suspect you'll love them Everything I've seen and heard speaks to their stability. I've only hit them a couple times on a range with a buddies set. Tough to draw any conclusions but it definitely sparked my curiosity. They are light though...I would think a good custom fit is important to make sure swing weights are where they should be. 3 Quote Driver: TR20 460, Vizard 60g Stiff FW: CBX 119 3w, 15, Project X Evenflow Blue 75g Stiff Hybrids: TS3 3 & 4H, Project X Evenflow Blue 85g Stiff Driving Iron: MP-20 HMB 3i, UST Mamiya recoil ES 780 F3 Iron: JPX 919 Forged 4- GW, Project X 6.0 Wedges:SM8 54 S Grind, 60 M Grind Putter: ER7B Tested the Honma TR20 460 driver Link to post Share on other sites

Just a word of caution, the Steelfiber 95's play almost a whole flex stiffer than their stated flex for most. I have played 950GH in S-Flex and the Steelfiber 95 R-Flex is definitely stouter than the S-Flex Nippons. You may want to soft step them a couple times. I am playing Steelfiber 95's in R-Flex and they are a great fit for me. Hit my 7 iron 165 for reference. Of course it isn't how far or how fast but how you hit far or fast.

edingc 8,429 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Pulled the trigger on a Down Under Board. The new "pro" model that's adjustable and can accommodate flared feet. It's normally something I'd DIY, but I want it now. Too lazy to make a trip to Home Depot... I really struggle with proper lower body rotation in my swing. Always searching for something that provides the right feelings to make my practice time more valuable. 5 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 10.1 (Last Updated April 17, 2021) Driver: Callaway Mavrik (9°), 45.75", Dumina AutoFlex SF505X | Unofficial AutoFlex Review 17° Hybrid: Callaway Super Hybrid, 41.5", Mitsubishi MMT Hybrid 80 TX 18.5° Driving Iron: Cobra KING Utility (2016 Model), 39.5", Mitsubishi MMT Utility 105 TX 21° Hybrid: Callaway Epic Flash, 40", Mitsubishi MMT Hybrid 80 TX 4-AW: Sub70 699 (4-6)/699 Pro (7-AW) Combo Set, 1° Flat, 37" 7 Iron, Mitsubishi MMT Taper 105 TX | Build Thread 54°, 58°: Cobra KING MIM Black, 1° Flat, 35.5", 35.25", Mitsubishi MMT Wedge 105 TX | #CobraConnect Review Putter: L.A.B.

Getoffmylawn 2,830 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Picked up a couple midsize Golf Pride Z Grips for my TS3 3 & 4h. Haven't played a full cord before but I like the look and feel so far. When I ordered the hybrids I asked for Tour Velvets, and they came in with MCC Align grips on them. I got them through a friend who helped me get a serious discount, but that friend thought he was doing me a favor by "upgrading" the grips. Nice thought, except when you adjust the hosel that whole "align" thing is no longer aligned! Got the Z Grips swapped in at no charge so all good. 9 Quote Driver: TR20 460, Vizard 60g Stiff FW: CBX 119 3w, 15, Project X Evenflow Blue 75g Stiff Hybrids: TS3 3 & 4H, Project X Evenflow Blue 85g Stiff Driving Iron: MP-20 HMB 3i, UST Mamiya recoil ES 780 F3 Iron: JPX 919 Forged 4- GW, Project X 6.0 Wedges:SM8 54 S Grind, 60 M Grind Putter: ER7B Tested the Honma TR20 460 driver Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Stranded 1,648 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I got what I think is a good a good deal from of all places, the PGASS. I've been looking to get hybrids to go with my 0211's, but I didn't want to spend the $200-275 new ones go for now. Well, the Superstore has the Cobra F9's on sale for $119 each. This is $50 cheaper than anywhere else for some reason. I went in yesterday and hit a used one, and liked it. This morning I planned on ordering the 3&4, but then decided at that price to get the 5 also. This used up almost all my gift card balances, but I'm thinking a 5 hybrid will be fun to mess around with. Not to mention, I'll have the 90 day playability, so why not? When I recently changed my irons, I kept my Rogue X hybrids in the bag. That was never going to be permanent however, as the plan was to keep a second set up on Long Island, and I want them to stay with my Rogue X irons. I also have two MD 4 wedges and Yes! Tracy putter in that 2nd bag already, so I'm getting there LOL. 8 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

It really hasn't been much of a hassle (kind of fun actually), and fairly painless to my wallet. I loved the setup I had prior to getting the PXG irons, so I've been taking my time looking for the stuff I want to put in a bag with them. It's been easy doing it like this because I still like my "old" clubs, and have no desire to sell them yet.... it would be a lot more stressful if I hated them, and felt like I had to change them quickly. This just came down to a perfect storm of having won or been gifted a ton of PGASS gift cards, and getting bored with looking at the same stuff in the bag. When when I heard about the discounted pricing PXG has been offering, I took a flyer on the 0211's and the MMT shafts at $89 per. Once I knew they were keepers, I started burning the gift cards on new wedges, a Scotty and now the hybrids.
