Drove by the PGASS in Natick a couple weeks ago. Looks like they are really close to opening. That's only about 30 minutes away. A heckuva lot better than Braintree! 
But yeah, I do miss Golfsmith being right around the corner. I was in there on that practice putting green so much I thought they were going to put my face up on the wall and have a do-not-let-use sign up. LOL

 

I probably would have been right on the wall next to you... the winter before I was fit for my AP2's down at Spargo I think I was there at least once a week in the hitting bays trying out the Pings, Mizunos, Titleists, ETC and the fitting cart... usually swapping out shafts by myself.  Other places I've been to we're as nice when I started swapping stuff out by myself.

We were probably there at the same time! haha

I used to bring my son and he would always grab a custom ProV1, every time they let him have it for free. Goes without saying those became my golf balls lol. I can’t wait for natick to open up we will be there lol.

Mizuno M Craft IV or V

love the new Evnrolls, but not a fan of how the hosels aren’t physically part of the head.

Not judging, just curious on why. Do you only pick putters that are milled from single block?

[GolfSpy_BNG]

No I can’t golf right now. No I haven’t even received my TSI3 driver head yet (will be here Tuesday).  Yes I’m thinking about another driver!

The PXG 0211 9* driver shafted with a PX Hzrdus Smoke RDX Blue 60 6.0 playing 44.5”. Back weight replaced with a 5g weight and 5g hot melt added low and forward.  
 

I can see it every time I close my eyes! Someone please help me! Lol

No but a big part of my putter selection his how the neck goes into the head. If it’s not aesthetically pleasing it really messes up my alignment and stroke as I tend to focus on that rather than the back of the ball

So the mizuno rep happened to be in the shop when I went to get my clubs regripped and got to see the mizuno putters first hand. 
 

The M Craft 5 is beautiful but has such a short blade length. The M Craft 4 is absolutely stunning and rolls beautifully. 
 

Also go to see the new mizuno woods and they look very nice this year

man... you got it bad.  There is no cure.  The top of the PXG looks really good.  I don't think I can convince you not to.. other than the fact that the TSi3 looks awesome too.

I'll have to take a look at them again next time I stop by headquarters to see what it looks like at address.

I love the looks of PXG woods. I had a Proto X and it was so long. It was also fairly forgiving but small at address which didn’t help my confidence when my swing was off.  The Gen2 X was ok but a little shallow faced for my liking (my miss is more up and down the face).  If the 0211 is a middle ground between them 2 it could be my perfect driver!  The price at $295 right now is so tempting too.

Yeah, to be honest I was thinking RADSpeed for the past month, but now seeing the $295 price tag and Tony's article about the 0211, I'm intrigued.

I'd be a little bummed to give up the more premium no upcharge shaft choices of the Cobra, but it's not like the S+ is a bad shaft at all, either.

Almost considering taking a flyer on it, probably could resell here or on the 'ol eBay for at least half.

Oh boy. All the pics I have seen show it looking very similar to the Proto from address with a slightly bigger footprint. Now I’m wondering what the pics are showing me!

The $295 is what will probably push me over the edge. That is just an insane price for a just released driver.

Will depend on which model. I know there are two in for driver testing...one looks good, one not so good.

Are you telling me there are 2 different versions of the 0211 driver?  Or perhaps one is the Proto or Gen4?

I didn’t look at the model numbers but PXG has always had different models for their drivers. The 0211X and 0221XF stick in my mind as typical naming. Basically a players version and a more forgiving model; just like other manufacturers. The players version is the one that I am referring too.

I think you mean two of the proto. There seems to only be one of the new 0211 that just came out yesterday

*clicks heals 3 times* I don't need new clubs, i don't need new clubs, i don't need new clubs.

 

Those PXG woods and Driver do look dope! Technically can get a ventus shaft and it would be then almost the same price as a stock  TSi

Nope, I have physically seen 2 PXG drivers for 2021. I am pretty sure the one I am referring to is still embargoed

So had a discussion today with the boss and she agrees that I should probably consider new wedges as the grooves on my SM6's are looking a little dull (her words, not mine)

So now I'm thinking on new wedges and trying to not d my usual and just go for Vokeys.

The tour rack zipcores are great. i am gonna keep mine as long as I can (and not just because i got to test them here). If you want out of the box, I have also heard great things about Edison wedges, plus they have a guarantee, if you don't like them, they will replace yours with any other OEM plus any extra cash you spent on theirs.

I haven't used Cleveland since the old Tour Action days, still one of my favorite wedges I've ever owned. 

Just checked out the Edison wedges and they look lovely, not sure the boss will like the idea of me just purchasing without fitting considering I gave her hell this year to make sure all her new clubs were fitted.

I’m guessing the second one is the gen4 driver. I have a suspicion that the 0211 will be the former XF model going forward and then only 1 0811x model.

I checked, yes it is a gen 4 driver.

[mr.hicksta]

Might be time to add a second Evnroll putter. That ER8v is looking nice!

[cnosil]

0811 gen 4 is an ugly driver...in my opinion.

That is good cuz I’m close to ordering a 0211 driver and I may be divorced if I get tempted by the gen4 too!

I will be replacing my Dynacraft driving iron with a New Level Golf NLU-01 driving iron. Just waiting for the call from McGolf Custom Clubs that the head is in.
