What a great find and really good/ honest of you to offer them up at what you've paid!

@rkj427 If the Phantom X7 is still available, I'd love to buy it from you and would never plan to sell it! I've tried a couple at big box stores and love the way they rolled the ball. Really nice feel and I need all the alignment help I can get.lol

@Indy_Oz still available and I will send you a message though the forum messaging system.

Thanks for expressing interest! 👍

Since the MG4TW Raw 56* arrived I've had it in the bag for 72 holes of golf in 12 days. A couple of damp 9s and a rainy 18 today (charity scramble). I thought I'd provide an update with how the raw finish has changed in that time. This is my first all raw club head, so the process has me curious and paying attention. For comparison, the regular MG4 50* pictured with it arrived last week. Both are after a post-round quick clean up. I'm really liking the patina on the back of the club as it develops.

I had the 50* built with a KBS C-Taper Lite X-stiff shaft to match my irons. So much nicer to hit than my old gap wedge!

I love the raw look!

So not sure if this proves working late at night will get me in trouble spending money or find me good deals 😆. Would normally already be asleep when I notice an alert for the bid about to end for something I had forgot I even followed. Through a bid at it full expecting it to get beat but I guess with how late it was no one was watching so I ended up with these.

But I guess $180 after tax and shipping it will be a not to expensive fun experiment. The seller cleaned all the rust off before selling but the groves in the pictures still look good. And since they removed the paint fill maybe I will have some fun with that. 

I spent more money than I had when I pulled midnight shifts with my newborn and my wife preferred me not sleeping while holding him. Might have been cheaper to hire a night nurse

Most of the long drive guys use super whippy shafts, same reason why the AutoFlex works for some.

I think the whippier shafts provide a little extra kick, but as far as I can tell, you are limiting your accuracy.

So we made it to the range and pleasantly surprised I was striping my new irons . Added about 10-15 yards to each club which was an added benefit. Since we hit them well I decided to play a round and we were still really consistent and scored right at what I left off with my old clubs . 87 was my lowest with the strata my wife bought and that's where I started with out the sporadic shot offline . With tye new Callaways . 

Some of the most forgiving irons ever created there with the Fusion Widesole.

I did See this I was doing some of my own research and found a ton of info on these clubs and heard nothing but good things so I waited and when I found a decent set I took it.

Ok.... Consider my interest piqued and my holes filled with rabbits... 

I went through some of the list, and specifically look at all the Adams clubs they had listed.

I'm very, VERY curious how this list was devised. 

There's no way they tested all of these clubs, or at least I have a hard time believing they did, and some of them seem way out of whack imho. 

They have XTD irons listed as "super game improvement", while having a30S hybrid irons as just "game improvement".

There are a bunch of parameters listed on the chart that I'm oblivious to like "C" Dim. and Basic VCOG, but head weight, loft, and M.O.I are also taken into the calculation.

Definitely tread carefully @3Putt4Double because @IndyBonzo got me to go down the Otto-Phlex road and I haven't turned back. All I will say is....

 

It does take a couple outs to get used to.

Tons of good info in those threads!

A reliable source has told me that the guy that started that thread has been threatened divorce many times by his wife.. and yet he continues to ride the line between new $50 shafts and a failed marriage. He's both a legend and a complete idiot. 😜

 

That's hero type stuff there.. @Michael.Sandoval33 might need a couch to sleep on by the time this otto-phlex experiment is done.. Surely my non golf playing wife will understand when I'm getting 30 more yards though 😁
