Nice...that Rossie is the hot ticket right now

Thanks!  I actually like these slant necks on these putters than on the Cameron Phantom or the Spyder X.  To me, visually, from address, the Odyssey looks sharp.

I tend to agree with that...they definitely know their putters...I would love to see a Rossie with no alignment marks, just a clean head.

... Amen and something I will never understand. I always preferred a 8802 style putter with no alignment marks. Once I found out we view the line as either horizontal or vertical I was shocked more OEMs do not provide putters with no alignment aids. We see the line like we are putting using a hockey stick or a pool cue. Most are horizontal and line up their putter like a pool cue so an alignment aid makes perfect sense. But for those of us that see the line vertical like lining up a hockey stick, the face of the putter is how we align the head to the putting path and a site line can be distracting.

Picked up a brand new SM6, 54° M grind to replace that useless 52° in my bag.  
 

 

Might be just as useless as the 52°…

... Looking forward to hearing how you like them. I tried some Steelfiber 95's in s-flex quite a few years ago and did not like them at all greatly preferring Recoil 95's. Talked to the Aerotech at the Show and told him about my experience and after watching me hit a few shots said even though my swing speed can support s-flex, my smooth swing was not loading/unloading and had me hit the r-flex which he said plays closer to others s-flex, especially for smooth swingers. So I tried a set and absolutely love them in my Cobra Tour irons. They also performed very well when I had them in my T100S.

Exactly.  The cavity already frames the ball, simple is nice.

Yes, the alignment aids are a bit busy, I could do without the back alignment lines.

Useless in the fact that I don’t know when I’ll use it.

Not even for 150 yard full shots?

Callaway Preowned sent the wrong club… I ordered a 15* with 80g X stiff MMT, they sent a 13.5*, no 15* in the house with that shaft, so sounds like an error when they entered it in the online inventory. Will just have the Sub 70 fairway wood to demo this week.

Looking to buy some rain gear. I have the jacket pants and gloves all ready at checkout. Hoping I can get a coupon today or tomorrow to lessen the blow!

Just ordered Monte's No Turn Cast from his website. I haven't made it to far in,  just have given a couple of videos a look. We've got a birthday party to go to, so I'll start the drills either this evening or tomorrow.

I recently bought a Ventus black velocore but these HZRDUS smoke black RDX OEM shafts keep performing better for me!

I've currently got a ventus blue velocore, but I'm right with you - the smoke black rdx is really a great shaft.  Thinking of buying one to keep as a back up.

Went on a work trip this past week where I was able to golf a couple times.  Long story short, my clubs did not make it for my first round so I had to rent a set.  Complete set of Taylormade clubs (M6) that were pretty fair.  

However, really putted well with the Spider Tour Black that was included so I just picked one up from  a Lefty Trade group I'm in on facebook for a solid price.  We'll see if it was a one trick pony or not.

Those look great! Any specific reason you have a soft spot for math?
