Not really something I bought but thought it would fit in here.

Had been playing really well this year. I was driving the ball great with an Epic Speed TD, however a few weeks ago the carbon crown cracked. Callaway was great and sent a new standard Rogue ST TD LS, however my shaft was an upcharge exotic and built .5" short. Once I put the new head on the shaft I couldn't feel anything and drove it all over. Called Callaway today and they are sending a Gold Front weight from the Paradym line at 10gr vs the standard 6gr, this should bump up the swing weight a bit. I think the gold will actually look pretty sweet in the Rogue ST

Hoping I play a bit better this weekend. 

I had issues dialing in the swing weight with the Rogue driver after I took an inch off the short.  I used tungsten putty where the weight goes. You can also buy different weights for the Rogue on Amazon and other places.  Good luck!

That is a great suggestion! I only need a couple swingweight points to get it to D3 which is what I prefer. Switching out the 6 gram to a 10 gram should get me there. If not I will definitely try out your suggestion!

I'd be very interested in hearing what you think about these.

  

What size are you? I wear a 13 or 14 in extra wide and amazingly the FJ D.N.A. Boa from 2016 fit like a charm in 12 Extra Wide. I have bought and returned various different shoes over the years because none touched those in comfort or fit. Somehow I've worn them for seven years and they've got maybe one season left in them before I'm gonna have to find a replacement. None of the new FJ's in 12 Extra Wide fit the same and anything past 12 is only available in Wide which is too narrow.

One week on them and they are great. Caused some soreness at first, they are firm compared to the stock insoles, but my feet adjusted quickly. 

I have not walked 18 in them yet,  but I don't see any issues in doing so. I'm enjoying the extra support,  and it makes me wonder if my other shoes would benefit from a pair.

Appreciate that! About to start looking into them now.

Just ordered a replacement SW for my PXG 0211 set because the grooves were so badly worn down. Also decided to have them make me a LW to see if I like it better than my Edison (don't hate me @Josh Ross!)

Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about the Edison, but the swing weight is just so different than the rest of my wedges. I think it's mostly due to the heavier shaft, but they didn't offer a shaft option more similar to what my other irons have. I think having an LW that feels more like my other wedges is likely to work better for me. We'll soon see.

Well I finally decided on a ball for the season and went with the 2023 ProV1x. It will be my first foray away from Callaway since I began my golf journey in Middle School. Played my first full round with the ball today and shot a 37 (+1) on the front nine of my course, would've played 18 but college life takes away too much time for a full 18.

I found one 3 days ago and it hasn't performed any better than the rest of the rocks I play, must be why someone else threw it away lol...

finally made the switch on my 3 wood from a taylor made burner to my new favorite club in my bag the G425 max so forgiving and a beautiful club

[jglynch]

My most recent purchase, found someone trying to sell either this or a stealth 3 wood. I prefer the Callaway woods and hybrids.

Weird I was looking into the same exact club switch cause I also have a Taylormade burner I've been using for a long while but I like the G425 and it looks super clean to me as well. Have yet to go in and try it out though, glad to know it was worth it to switch!!

Most recent buy was actually A bag change! I've been using a Taylormade bag since I started my golf hobby almost 6-7 years ago. Needed something lighter to take to the range and for smaller courses. Caved in on buying the Sunday Golf bag Loma Light, and I LOVE IT. The weight of the bag literally feels like I'm not even carrying a bag. Super comfortable and it holds more than enough clubs. Looks super clean as well! The people that own it and work there are also amazing and super helpful. I have zero bad things to say about them! I'll leave a picture for some reference

Big fan of Sunday bags and I feel that they’re criminally underrated. Nice purchase!

Could not agree more! They have a long time customer for sure, my back in general is a huge fan

Finally pulled the trigger on upgrading to shafts I should have been playing my entire life. The X7's have been a game changer for me.

Strictly speaking, I have got a very aggressive move and these tree trunks have really helped with stability and feel. Love these, definitely reccomend if you have an aggressive tempo/move!

got a free wedge fitting at Golf Galaxy and was fit into SM9 and Jaws. 

both were nearly identical in everything - spin rate, carry, launch angle, etc.

Callaway just felt a hair better. Decided to start with the 58 and see how it goes. So far so good after a couple rounds. Probably going to add the 50 and 54 soon.

New putter on the way.  Odyssey White Hot from a couple of years ago.  Going back to a blade.  Tried a mallet for the last couple years and it's just not working out.  Fingers crossed.
