Right now I’m thinking I might go with it instead of the Newport 2.0 or mini giant I talked about yesterday. I’m thinking a 33.5” with a black matador midsize grip. I believe that if you order under 34” you get 40 g weights? (30g for 34” and 20g for 35 and up, but I’m not sure.) Anyway, did you go lighter, or heavier, and what did the weights cost? I was LOVING the 5.5 before being selected for the LAB DF 2.1 test - which has completely blown me away, but mannnnnn that 5.5 was slick. 2 Quote Driver - PXG 0811 XF - Gen 5, 9 degrees, EvenFlow Riptide CB 40g 4.0 3/5 Wood - Warrior Golf (don't ask) Utility - King Utility - 2 Iron Irons (4-PW) - - SIM Max, Nippon Modus Tour 105 Stiff Wedges (52, 56, 60) - Kirkland Signature (changed to midsize grips) Putter - L.A.B.

Yeah, I might be the only one from that test who didn’t get along with the LAB 2.1 (then again, I’ve just been struggling with my entire game the past few weeks.

There was something about the 5.5 that felt like I could just line it up and let it go, which is ultimately where I'm at with the LAB. 1 Quote Driver - PXG 0811 XF - Gen 5, 9 degrees, EvenFlow Riptide CB 40g 4.0 3/5 Wood - Warrior Golf (don't ask) Utility - King Utility - 2 Iron Irons (4-PW) - - SIM Max, Nippon Modus Tour 105 Stiff Wedges (52, 56, 60) - Kirkland Signature (changed to midsize grips) Putter - L.A.B.

Well, it was a combination of I absolutely love my MG3 50* and 58* wedges and my distance control with my 46* pw's on partial swings is not as accurate as my 50*.

chisag Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 9 minutes ago, Grand Stranded said: Do you recommend matching shafts in irons and wedges? ... I think it is a personal choice. I see plenty of good players with the same shaft but a heavier weight in their wedges. And some that just stick with the stock dynamic gold that comes with so many wedges. But I am a big believer in consistency and taking variables out of play so I prefer the same shaft in my wedges that I have in my irons. 3 Quote Driver: SIM2 Max 10.5* ...

JerryB Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Picked up six dozen of the 2022 Elixirs from OnCore's B2G1 sale. Found a pair of Adidas shoes with BOA lacing for real cheap on Amazon and I'm excited to try them out. Wasn't planned but Owen talked me into buying each other a putting mat and driving mat for the garage. Also found a few polos, a pair of shorts and a NWT quarter zip while thrifting recently, along with two more golf books. 5 Quote Callaway Rogue ST Max D driver PXG 0211 3 wood and Tour Edge Bazooka 7 wood Titleist 21° hybrid Cobra AMP 5-PW Titleist Vokey SM7 50° 54° and SM8 60° wedges Ray Cook Silver Ray IV putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OssiansFolly Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Took MGS advice and snagged a "demo" Mizuno ST-Z 220 driver to play around with. I'd never really given Mizuno a shot during my driver fitting last year, so it is kind of an unknown to me how it will perform. For $200, I can't really go wrong giving it a shot considering I could get the same shaft and grip on it that II currently use. 1 Quote WITB: Driver: TaylorMade Stealth+ 9° w/ Project X HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX 70 XStiff 3W: Ping G425 w/ Ping Tour 75S 7W: Callaway Epic Flash 21° 5i-PW: Srixon ZX5 48°: Cleveland CBX 2 52° & 56°: Cleveland RTX 4 Tour Raw Putter: Mizuno M-Craft VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
