Shankster Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 With my current ball striking… those 620 MB/CB combo set really look nice… I may need to get rid of the internet, I always get these crazy ideas. Pretty sure I need a TS4/TSi4 driver, and a matching 3 wood…. Really need to get a job in the golf business too so I can “attempt” a PAT… who wouldn’t want to have a pro named Shanks at their course/fitting center/etc… it’s going to happen… probably not. But if it did, I would definitely put “Shankster” on the bag. Rickp, Grand Stranded, MattF and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjgiaquinto Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I put the TM SIM 2 MAX 9 degree Driver into the bag last week, and let me tell you.. that thing is a weapon! The sound it makes with good contact parlayed with the speed it comes off the face with is noticeably better than the TS3 I was using before. Not knocking the TS3, I love that club but the SIM 2 just feels different.

Are they that much better I’m not sure. I talked to 2 guys who had full bag and they love them but couldn’t really say if they were an improvement. There is a PXG Fitting Van here at least once a month and I’ve been think about it. BUT I hit the T300 irons a while ago and frankly I’m kinda liking them…a lot. I waited and waited for the new T300’s to be revealed, and when MGS said they were offering a chance to review them, I submitted my name for the first time since I’ve been on this site. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be, but the itch to try new and shiny irons was rekindled, and it looks like the 0311 XF’s will be the ones to scratch that itch. I was able to get a quote even better than the PXG site. Still $89 per club with the MMT shaft, but no tax and no $60 shipping. I have the online order form all filled out, but I’m still pondering.

Grand Stranded Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It rained like crazy here today, so I took an hour drive down to the nearest PXG fitter in my area. I’m glad I did… the 0311’s have been removed from the cart. He didn’t have any Gen2 0311XF heads available, but after seeing me hit my Rogue X, he told me to keep them, because I’d probably lose 10 yards per club with the XF’s. I did hit the T300’s, but I averaged 138 carry, 142 total. The Rogue X were 143, 148. Ball flight was higher with the T300 but the dispersion was slightly better with the Rogue X. I love the Tensei Red shaft in the Titleist, and I think the dispersion might be due to my familiarity with the Rogues? That said, I don’t think the Titleist are worth spending 1K for, they would only be a vanity purchase. He gave me a nice heads up though, confirming he’d heard what I had, that Callaway is bringing back a new version of the Rogue line in January. I’ll probably check out the new Launcher irons when they’re out, but won’t buy anything until I see the new Rogues. sirchunksalot, Rickp, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: G425 Max 10.5* Fairway: G425 Max 14*5* & 17.5* Paradym 21* Hybrids: Rogue ST Max OS 24* Irons: Launcher XL Halo 6-DW Wedges: CBX Zipcore 54-12 RTX Zipcore 58-6 Putter: ER7 34” Elixir 2.5 14 way Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a Blue 6 S right? A feel thing or better numbers too? I'm kicking tires on shaft upgrades in my TR20, and am toying with the idea of Ventus Blue.. So here’s 10 rounds of Speedzone/Ventus Blue 6x from March until I got the Epix Max LS: And here’s the Epic Max LS and Motore X f3 6x combo: I excluded the one round I had with the Max LS and MMT combo as it was never going to be gaming combo, I just didn’t have anything else to use that day. Now it’s still early and only 26 drives vs 72, but I just haven’t had any really bad contact with the Max LS and Motore combo. One of the balls to the right clipped a tree on a tight fairway and came right down. And two of the balls on the left were good shots that I’m still just getting used to being able to aim towards the right side of the fairway. You can see that my dispersion is more left with the Max LS. What’s interesting is they’re set up basically opposit of what you’d think. The speedzone was set to +1.5 and the Max LS is set to -1 and the weight it all out in the toe. It’s been an absolute bomber for me so far. It’s had generally less side spin and I’ve had more nice tight draws than I remember ever having before. I’m glad that Rapsodo is in and I can start testing because I need to do some Ventus vs Motore X with good data. The Ventus has a pleasing feeling at impact that I haven’t felt with any other shaft. And I really believe the tech works. Right now it seems like I can just feel smoother with the Motore X and it’s working to keep my in sync where the Ventus might be a touch too stiff. Honestly besides two range sessions where I was switching around I put the Motore X in there at a flip of the coin to be the starter and it’s just really flat out performed on the course and I’m enjoying the feel of it. sirchunksalot, GolfSpy AFG, edingc and 5 others 8 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info and it seems like a good combo and I am sure the Rapsodo would be a great tool. Also does this mean with the Max LS you are actually in a single digit loft? Well well well, that's a big change there.

Honestly besides two range sessions where I was switching around I put the Motore X in there at a flip of the coin to be the starter and it’s just really flat out performed on the course and I’m enjoying the feel of it. This got me wondering. In my 11 rounds since putting the lighter weight in the Max LS/AF combo, this is what I'm looking at: Moral of my story for anyone looking at the AF - yes, I definitely added some distance and hit the ball better, generally. But I still have some huge misses when I'm off. (Most of those that are way right are from holes 17 and 18 on my home course, where missing that far right is in the opposite fairway and not a bad play.) I only bought the AutoFlex because I capitalized on the hot COVID market for trading cards that I had accumulated when I was younger. If I had to choose between $800 for the shaft or $800 to put into 8 lessons and a season pass for range balls (about the same), I'd take the lessons and range balls all day. sirchunksalot, GolfSpy BOS, Nolan220 and 1 other 4 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 7.5 / Anti-Cap: 13.0 (Last Updated Feb. 19, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°, -1/N), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

I've had times where I agree with them and others when I think they must be hitting something completely different. Hope you enjoy them! Although i am taking a gamble based on not trying them first, i think they will be fine. May not be the best fit out of all possible irons on the market, but i generally get along with easy to launch, GI type clubs that are billed as higher launching. Based on what i have read, it is a bit more "GI" than my ZX5s, the T200s would be more of a comp to the ZX5s. sirchunksalot and MattF 2 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
