For the SZ iron guys ... how’s the club’s wider sole width working for you? Especially if you’re coming from a smaller profile club. How’s the turf interaction? Any adjustments from a swing or mental setup standpoint?

This competition is opening my eyes to the SZ irons, but I can’t find the SZ irons in stock at any of our golf stores down here ... not Edwin Watts or Dick’s Sporting. 

I am extremely pleased with the SZ ONE irons! I have had no issues with the wider sole compared to my Titleist 816 AP1 irons. But I can tell you they send the ball HIGHER and LONGER!!!!

Not sure if you have gotten on LM or not but curious what spin differences are like. I have debating for about 5 years on whether to try one length or not but with a higher launch they scare me as I launch way high already.

@GB13 damn a year early for college that’s impressive and good luck I didn’t realize you were going early. Is there any loophole to try out because if there is you need to expose it with how well you’re playing
 

for all competitors I don’t think it was asked yet. But what are you expecting handicap wise or so you have a realistic goal for the arccos handicap drop?

wow that was hard not busting any balls in a post.....

Handicap drop? I'm starting out at 12-13 HC and I think it is realistic to get to 8-9 in 8 weeks. Two rounds and a practice session so far and I'm really impressed with the SpeedZoneONE clubs.

Why am I hearing a different voice in my head as I watch that gif ... because it definitely is not mine.

We need a late push to get #teamcalveslikephil over the top. Let's go @edingc!!

I guess we could be sympathetic to @B.Boston knowing that if he does win it will be the only victory in Boston for years to come.

How are the scoring irons checking up on the greens  ... usually stronger lofts lead to lower spin numbers. 

I’d imagine the parachute like landing, cause they’re so high, likely makes up for the lower spin numbers.

Dear @THEZIPR23,

Out of respect for @edingc's #teamcalveslikephiljr I wore pants this morning rather than show off the real best calves in this competition.

Thanks to comments like this, tomorrow will be different!

Arccos claims this 9-iron was 160 yards, I think it was closer to 150, but...

A little spin back on the green, helped a touch by the green contour. Still, they do stop.

Alright guys @edingc @B.Boston @GB13 @daviddvm @Headhammer, now that you have the clubs, and are using Arccos, what has stood out most to you? the clubs, the stats, Ease of use??? And what did you think you were better at than the statistics show??? 

I've been using Arccos 2nd Gen sensors for over a year (70 rounds). Now with the 3rd Gen sensors I have misses very few shots that needed editing. The second Gen putter sensor often missed short putts.

The ONE length clubs have been a seamless transition for me, the SpeedZoneONE hybrid and irons are very easy to hit.

With the Cobra driver, Mind you I am playing a F8+,  I found that slightly high and towards the toe is where i got the best performance.. i just noticed better flight and more consistant direction (less offline).. Any thoughts??? 

Anything I've hit inside the infinity sign has been a solid drive.

Did you go with the standard or tour length driver?

Also, I now see how you're playing this... very clever .

As long as there aren’t any ears bitten off... that would have been a fun match to watch.  Ali vs. Tyson.

That was the last boxing match I ever watched.  The Tyson / Evander Eargate.

The Ali vs. Tyson would be like Seve vs. BAD... you all know where my money would be... 

 

Would have been entertaining....But Ali would have wiped the floor with Iron Mike. 

Whether you liked him or not Muhammad Ali was

Standard, I tried tour length and my numbers were not as good.

That's impressive. Cobra has used DBM in the past (last year's contestants had it on their Cobra KING black wedges), but the problem is that DBM makes the metal so hard that it becomes brittle and impossible to adjust. My Maltby M-Series+ wedges have the DBM finish and it's darn near indestructable.

The MIM Black finish, QPQ, isn't as durable but can be bent! Quite a bit, since my wedges are 3 flat.

But yes, I have two marks on my 58 face already from bunker shots.

I will say the MIM sounds great.  They feel awesome too.  Dare I say... on par or better than my SM7s?

Bold statement sir!  Better as in feel and sound?  Or spin?  
Granted it’s hard to compare wedges when your gamers have mileage and the Cobra’s are fresh...

So my SM7s were new this year as well. So I will have some good comparisons side by side. 
 

The sound and feel is fantastic. Regarding spin these have reacted as I would have expected the Vokey’s to, but conditions have been softer so I’ve seen more spin and check from them so far. 
 

at some point I’ll go out with both and hit some side by side.
