Hey All,

 

I've been looking for an excuse to shoot more videos and while I have some ideas for topics, one of my favorite things is to answer reader questions. So with that in mind if you've got a question about golf equipment, the companies who make it, MyGolfSpy in a general sense, or would just like my opinion on something related to the things we cover, go ahead an post it here or on Twitter (hashtag #MyGolfSpy). No promises that I'll answer everything, but I'm not ruling anything out either.

 

Go.

Really enjoy the readers questions videos!

 

A couple questions from me.

 

1) Any word/knowledge you can divulge on the Titleist CNCPT irons?

2) How legitimate are the performance claims from BreakThrough Golf Technology about their Stability Putter shaft?

Golf Industry Question.  It was well known at least as much as anyone who followed Harry Arnett on Twitter that Callaway announced the 5 year War, right about this time 5 years ago.   In your mind, have they succeeded in what he set out to do, if you know what that was?

 

Second part, what company if any do you see as the most consistent threat to Callaway over the next three years,  in winning the retail wars, if the numbers I see are accurate?    Maybe it's too long of answer and would be better suited as a Blog Piece  :D

Seems like recently it's been wedge month.  Lots of them being reviewed.  

 

I'm curious why some wedges have grooves across the entire face, and others don't, even within the OEM lineup;  Callaway Mack Daddy vs PM Grind; TaylorMade Milled Grind vs Milled Grind Hi-Toe.

 

Are the grooves across the face beneficial for only high lofted wedges?  If it's that beneficial, why don't all OEMs use it?

I would like to see a test on groove wear over time for wedges.  To help an amateur decide at what point in time they should consider replacement.
