Yeah, I just spent way too much time going through everything (including the sold out stuff). Very cool!

That's what happened to me when I first found their site. I was just looking for a unique ball marker and now I have two of them. They are solidly made and I am definitely going to get into their headcovers soon.

Just picked up a 21 Apex 19° Hybrid with my fave ACCRA FX 3.0 shaft in hybrid mode at flex M1.  I am eager to try the Apex, and the ACCRA shaft that matches up with my driver shaft (which will also fit my Paradym X hybrid).

You have me very intrigued with the Accra shafts Indy. Was looking for a shortened one in the used department but didn't have much success. Might have to bite the bullet soon if the new to me shaft I am waiting on isn't up to my liking for the Max.

Hi all!  I see this thread is directed to Club Ho's, but I don't quite keep that kind of budget!  I did, though, buy some new kicks for the season.  Does that qualify for the thread?

Anyway, I bought a pair of Footjoy Hyperflex Carbon.  Got them online without trying on since they were the winners of the Best Spiked Shoe 2023.  First ordered them in my usual size but felt too roomy.  I foolishly didn't read the Footjoy page, but the reviews have that True to Fit category and most reviewers were saying to size down a half.  So I returned them, which was fully covered and easy at the local FedEx.  I'm glad I did because these are simply the best golf shoes I've ever owned.  I used to be a New Balance guy since that's my usual footwear most days, but my last pair of NB Defender's were never as comfortable or stable as these.  I had the Fresh Foam Links Pro before that and I feel like NB's got a way to go to be anywhere near the Hyperflex.  I like them so much that I even plan to write a review on them later!

I feel like NB is trying to ride this trendy, fashion-forward aesthetic with their golf shoes since they did those Malbon collabs and I can't get on board with it.  They look cool, but wonder if they're athletic enough.  Anybody rocking with NB's or the Hyperflex carbon?  Agree/disagree?

So after reading your review I went and ordered a pair of the Rivet with the Enliven Golf lens. Did a custom order to get the black frame with that lens and, interestingly, from the look of the order confirmation, it comes in separate pieces as a pair of lenses, the frame, a pair of ear pads .. so a small bit of "some assembly required" maybe?  

Hoping they magically enable me to better track my ball ... on my not so hugely long shots ... but yeah the old eyes ain't what they used to be...

I have the Enliven lens for my Tyrants and I prefer the AC Red because it performs like the Oakley Prizm lens and really helps the contrast.

Went for a fitting last week and have now got 3 new wedges!! Callaway Jaws Raw 48, 52 and 58 combo! All different shaft weights and types to cater for what I need, cannot wait to get them all out on the course and have the best season yet!

Went to Golf Galaxy this morning to grab a grip and ended up with the grip and the new TM Mini Driver.  Love a deep faced fairway wood and this one is just pretty.

I think post should be the unofficial motto of this thread.

Yep, in fairness to me I was not aware that they were in the store already.

My bag got caught in my trunk as I was pulling it out and I may have yanked a little too hard, and I heard a snap.  I got the bag out and sure enough, I had snapped my Ventus Red TR shaft.  I gave a sigh and said, "well that was dumb, I guess it's 3-wood off the tee today."  

I had a backup Ventus Black from a prior setup, so I went to my fitter who swapped out the tip for my new driver head.  So, at least I have a driver, although I hadn't really realized how low of a flight that Ventus Black is until now.  It took me a few rounds to adjust to it, I really have to focus on hitting up on it to launch it properly.  In any event, my fitter also ordered a replacement Ventus Red for me, I'm just waiting for it to come in.

My fitter also placed an order of the new Mizuno T-24 wedges for me a few weeks ago.  I got them in the Mizuno blue...had to do it.  I can't wait for them to come in.  I'll update with pictures once I get them.

Plus, it’s a lot of fun to hit.

I put the Taylormade BRNR mini driver 11.5 degree in my bag this year (replacing Sim 2 - 10 degree). I threw a Fujikura F1 Motore 7x shaft and cut it down to 42.5 inches. I did want to try the BRNR shaft but they only had Stiff available and my swing speed is to quick. I tried it in the simulator but the ball flight was to high with to much spin. The Motore shaft is low ball flight and penetrating. Def a great shaft for this setup. The only upgrade I would like is to put the Ventus Blue Velcore. The Velcore is just out of my price range. The 44 inch Sim 2 definitely had a higher ball flight and 10 more yards of carry. The BRNR is a lower ball flight with less spin and more roll out. The mini has a much tighter dispersion. I call it the "FAIRWAY FINDER". I do not miss the extra distance and I am hitting 15% more fairways. Theres a reason Tiger and the other companies are now starting to manufacture more mini drivers.

Big fan of the mini drivers and tried not buying this one but it looks so good. Funny that I hit the larger head better and more consistently off the deck than any three wood I have ever owned.

I ordered some Mizuno 241's, and they sent me these weird green coloured things?

Anyways, will probably keep them, they look kinda alright

Well I have broken down and purchase the VC Swing Caddie 300i. I have been looking into this for awhile, but I finally  did it. Looking forward to testing out tomorrow at the range. 
https://voicecaddie.com/products/swing-caddie-sc300i

Took it out to the range this morning. 
1st thing I notice how bright the numbers show in the screen and how easily is to see from 5-6ft away with no issues. 
Remote control super useful, just point and change the club, carry/distance, practice or just swing speed.
NOW, I struggle to get position correctly, it says 5ft behind , it was having a hard time a first picking up the shots. Towards the end I figured out where to stand and swing away and it started to pickup the shots much better.

The App on the phone syncs with the device and this gives you all the data plus spin rate(question how they get this info) but non the less the Data is there. 


I will take out again on Sunday.. since its going to be a down pour tomorrow. And see if the numbers improve or stay consistent.

Another Maltby arrived today - TC Pro 7 Wood. It looks really great and I really want to get to the range tomorrow to try it out. Maltby ProSeries FW Shaft, 70g, Regular (they play pretty stiff). This was one of their Paks, and for $105 assembled, I couldn't pass it up. They even got my grip request right to add some to the lower hand to reduce taper.
