Couldn't help myself. I booked a fitting for this weekend to hit the Paradym line. I was texting my coach, who's a Callaway staffer, and he saw noticeable (2-3 MPH) ball speed gains with the Paradym Triple Diamond over his Rogue ST equivalent. I'm also liking the "more accuracy down range" story that Callaway is pushing.

Booked at the local shop, not Club Champion. For $80 I figured it was worth my time just to see what worked best. He thinks I should be in the Triple Diamond, my brain tells me standard Paradym, but I have questions on loft regardless. I've lowered my AoA a little bit since last year (closer to zero now than +4) trying to get some more consistency, but now my 9 degree head launches a little low and if my Mevo+ is to be believed, I hit low spin knuckleballs sometimes.

I won't lie. Unless I'm totally underwhelmed by the numbers I will probably be placing an order Sunday evening. 

But drivers are maxed out they say .

Always impressive to see 2-3 mph gain in ball speed. That’s significant gain in distance as long as spin and launch don’t change much from current setup

I am holding out for 2-3mph gain off of the hosel.

Besides that...I am secretly hoping that LAB manufactures a smaller version of the DF.1 putter.  I really want to try that style in a smaller head...c'mon sam!

...you may want to check back there later this spring.... (I heard it from a friend who....heard it from a friend whooooo....)

Nice to hear it confirmed in public…

I don’t need anything (ok maybe a utility for Bandon which I never know when I’ll be there) but sub70 on there 939 and 1st gen 699s are on sale. You can get a 699 pro utility for $90 stock.

I don't need to be convinced or nudged! My compulsive nature does that by itself! Blessing and a curse.....

[Tom the Golf Nut]

I'm thinking about a Titleist TSi 1 three wood to go along with my driver.  I know @BIG STU is going to call me nuts as I hit my TaylorMade SLDR three wood so well. But now that the Titleist's new models came out the price drop makes it more appealing! I am feeling weak at the moment. Trying to stop myself.

yeah well now there's pressure for me to make the switch so that the Mod team looks like we're sponsored by Titleist drivers

[cnosil]

PGA show is this week and as a result there will be lots of new equipment announcements.   On various social channels I have seen that Steelfiber and Accra are releasing new graphite putter shafts; guess I have to add some things too my ponder list

Buy it.  Don't be selfish; we can't continue to live vicariously through the club purchases of others if you don't do your part.

I told you I was weak. I found one on auction. I may or may not have one coming in 3 hours and 42 minutes. 

[Ramon Rivera]

Thinking of buying a TaylorMade Sim2 Max or TaylorMade Sim2 Max D. Not sure which to get. I do tend to slice right off the tee sometimes. Any suggestions?

... Sim2 Max D is an excellent driver with a draw bias, but not an over the top bias. It won't cure a slice but it will certainly reduce a fade. 

[TR1PTIK]

*fingers crossed* This is finally the year I get to re-do the whole bag with some brand new equipment. Mizuno driver and fairways, Cobra irons, Vokey wedges, maybe just stick with my Cleveland putter but also curious to see what a fitter would direct me towards... That's just if I'm picking off looks and personal preferences though. In a fitting, I want to test pretty much everything lol!

[GolfSpy_BNG]

Boy oh boy do the Edel SMS Pro irons look so nice.  

[G56788]

Been looking at hybrids to replace my old Adams Idea Pro. So far, these have made the tryout list:

1. Titleist TSR2/3 (or maybe the TSI models if the price is right)

2. Mizuno ST-Z 230

3. Ping G430

Thanks for the feedback! This is helpful. I meant to say that my drive sometimes fades left to right. I’m happy to learn that the Sim2 Max D helps correct this.

... Ramon to be fair I would not use "correct" I would use "reduce". I just want to be sure everyone knows it isn't a cure but it is helpful.

Guess who won the auction? Yup it was me.

Thanks for the clarification! That was my wrong choice of word!  I’ll take reduce any day. Thanks again!

Thanks for the clarification! My wrong word choice. I’d be happy if I’m able to find a way to reduce my occasional fade.

Take lessons. The max d and Ping sft will reduce the amount of curvature but won’t fix a bad swing that causes the slice. You will still see some of that same ball flight with these drivers

[Ramon Rivera]

I misspoke. I meant to say that my drives sometimes tend to fade left to right-not slice. Thanks for the club suggestions.

You do hit your current 3 wood really well, but the way you're getting along with the new Titleist driver makes me certain you're making a good choice.
