While not exactly equipment, I am very close to buying Arccos.  I was a tester in 2021 for Arccos, and yes, I did experience the odd missed shot, for the most part it was good.  What turned me off was the annual subscription, so when the subscription was up for renewal, I cancelled.  I have spent the past year trying various other technologies, most aggressively, Shot Scope.  From my experience this past year I have come to understand that no technology works 100% of the time.  The vendors who offer these solutions are not working on 'Mil-Spec' or better; they are not making space craft that goes to the moon!  They are making a product they hope will sell, provide reasonable performance, and give the lowest price point they believe will make it attractive.  All of that said, I did really enjoy that data that Arccos collected.  Also if I do purchase Arccos, I may not be a permanent relationship.  In a year, who knows what other technology my be out to tempt me? 

Pretty much in the same boat.  I was going to let my Arccos access die but now I’m thinking I may just get an Apple Watch (for other purposes) and just cut the Link out of the equation.  Then again, I may hold out for the Smoke sensors again…the green just drives me crazy.

Wedges, specifically Sub70 JB wedges. My current 52° sm8 and 56° Jaws full toe have about 80-90 rounds played at this point. I also think 50 - 56° would gap better to my set PW at 45°

Considering a JB 50° and a JB FG 56° both in the Raw finish.

I had been thinking of the Lab Link1 as I like the idea and feel of no torque when I have tried it in the store. But today I was wondering in golf galaxy and picked up a Evnroll EV5.2 Duo and I have never had a putter just sit so perfectly for me and for the first time ever I felt like I new where I was aiming and was confident in it. I have always been a good putter but my aim has never been great with mallets or blade putters and I have never been able to be confident in it. So I have had to always use the line on the ball but it can't be to big or I feel I focus on it to much instead of just making a stroke which can get me guiding the ball and distance control can suffer. My brain was not ready to let me spend $420 so I tried some other putters that are less with that same style and putted with them good as well but nothing was quite as good or gave me the same confidence in my aim as the Evnroll. I think this thing might haunt my dreams unless I get it

I’m playing so little now and into the foreseeable future that I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth it, but re-shafting my Edel irons and Vokey wedges is still on my mind.  Have Steelfiber i95s, but (when was last playing regularly) everything was a little too high and a little too much spin.  Was going to go straight to i110s but am now thinking I’ll at least try Accra TZi, maybe even Fuji’s Atmos…?!?  Has anyone hit those?

A different drive shaft profile as the ventus at times can be too much to handle. I have the option to get a Adila Ascent for a great deal and possibly a GPLB. Decisions decisions

... At least for my swing, if these shafts had no markings I would have a very difficult time attempting to identify a Tensei Blue AV, Kai'Li Blue, Atmos Tour Spec Blue, Even Flow Blue and the Ascent. Everyone is different of course but if one of these shafts fit your swing there is a very good chance all of them will fit your swing.

I believe that’s a fair statement. Removing the flexes from discussion, it’s fair to say the blue lines are within a certain window and a great starting point for a large demographic.

... Demoing just about every exotic shaft known to man through quite a few fittings the last several years, my SAG Agent would be disappointed in just how average I am. What I have found works best for my swing is a mid weight, mid flex, mid torque and mid trajectory shaft. Almost equally embarrassing, I can play most stock shafts with a pretty good degree of success.

True but the plb would be Otto-Phlex variant vs the ascent being 60g tx

I can’t imagine how peaceful your mind must be knowing you’re not seduced by the relentless pursuit of “the golf shaft” when you’re certain you have what suits you.

Good lord…matrix ozik has me in the feels…

I'm thinking about an Odyssey Seven putter. Using it on the course tomorrow.  Really like the feel in the store.  Won't be getting rid of my Yes Callie-fc though. It has had a nice 10-12 year run, but I'm not hitting it nearly as well this year for some reason.

[agesicki34]

I’m currently thinking about looking for a 5 wood. In reading another thread, this may be pretty similar to my 3hybrid but I’d like something with a mid to lower launch. My 3hybrid comes out with a higher launch and I feel I’m losing some yardage with that launch angle.

I really want to try the new T200 irons. I currently play the 2019 T200's and I haven't found anything that I like better.

You might want to consider a driving/utility iron instead.  Typically; and we all vary in how we swing, fairway woods launch and fly the highest, then hybrids, and then utility irons being the lowest.

In the late fall when clubs will have sales, I’m going to pull the trigger on a complete set of PingG430

[cnosil]

I don’t know why I do this to myself.   I’ve been putting reasonably well but I keep looking at putters.   My brain keeps saying you need to try a mallet; even though I don’t typically get along well with mallets.  #7 style it keeps saying.  I keep trying to ignore it, but it won’t go away.  Why can’t putters be like the other clubs in my bag; basically I am fine with what I have and have no desire to switch them out  
 

I NEED TO TURN OFF MY BRAIN BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW!

Take a look at the new PXG Battle Ready II putters. The Bat Attack with the Straight II PXG grip I recently put in the bag is the best putter I have used.

I haven’t had a chance to roll the new model, but have tested the prior iteration of the bat attack.   I keep hoping that HQ will get one of the new line in hand to test.  I am sure they will be part of next years most wanted…maybe I can convince myself to wait that long

If you ever figure out how, please share.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a LAB putter to drool over/research for the umpteenth time.

Your mileage may vary, but I have made more putts with this new putter. Also only one three putt in the last three weeks. Many rounds of 29 putts or better.

That’s a serious shaft collection.  Legit “driver shaft anonymous” candidate?
