Hey @gavinski91, I'm over on the east side of the state. So if you need to make a golf trip to an area that is sunny and dry to better test those clubs you are welcome over here.

Tell the wife that 4 or 5 rounds on different grass types is really needed for testing. Sea level VS 2000' might be worth looking at, even the effects of humidity on the finish would be worth a set of pictures I'm sure 😅

Just played a couple rounds at Moses Pointe in August.  We nearly melted with the 100* temps, but started our rounds early to avoid the REALLY hot part of the day.  Where do you play?

Ran into a herd of elk a few holes later. 

I was a little nervous - there was a bull elk just off screen in the trees bugling every few minutes, and a few of the closer elk were snorting at me like they didn't want me there. Made it a bit tough to be totally focused on the shot, so I blocked the 8-iron a little bit right.

What are you recording this with?

I'm in Spokane, and I play the entire group over here. There are a shocking number to choose from. 

But I did drive through Moses lake yesterday, it was windy there.

so the tracer isn't an app on your phone but something you add afterwards on the computer?

Yeah. I believe they have a phone app as well but I prefer the larger screen on my desktop for video editing. In either case the tracer is added on after you record the video.

Yeah I have the apple app for it and I much prefer doing the edits on my iPad versus the iPhone for the larger screen.  I’ve been meaning to try out the desktop app too.

I've played golf in the snow before, we used balls spray painted orange and used hula hoops painted the same for holes. 

So you can always go that route

Want to see something really funny? Most of us in the Honma driver testing still haven’t gotten our drivers…..this week a couple of us arrived home to find a box on the porch from Honma 🤩

Really exciting!!!! Until you open it 😪

yep that’s right nothing in the full size club box but a head cover and a wrench 😂

+1 on having a driver & wedges only competition that was mentioned in a comment earlier. 

And on a side note … kudos to MGS for recognizing mental health and allowing their staff the week off. 

On an additional side note, seems like Sub70 hasn’t been too disrupted by supply chain issues and have been able to fulfill orders rather quickly.

Alright gents, what do you think about those snakebite wedges? 

Has anyone noticed as big a drop off in spin performance when wet as the wedge test shows?  I feel like the MIM Blacks are all around great wedges, so I was surprised to see that big a drop off in spin on the 50 yard wet shot.

Alright gents, what do you think about those snakebite wedges? 

Has anyone noticed as big a drop off in spin performance when wet as the wedge test shows?  I feel like the MIM Blacks are all around great wedges, so I was surprised to see that big a drop off in spin on the 50 yard wet shot.  

Ha. Timely question ... I spent a good while on YouTube last night looking at different wedge reviews, and was disappointed to see PING's hydropearl wedges were not the best performers in a wet conditions test. : ( 

I was mainly focused on Callaway's JAWS, Vokey SM8s and TM's Grind wedges ... completely overlooked Cobra's line of wedges.

Wow that really would explain why I get fliers with the wedges when I play in the morning and have really struggled with distances with the snakebite wedges. I have noticed a difference in morning vs afternoon with hitting my number more consistently.

Matt ... 1. I see that you're in Summerville, we'll have to try to get a round in a some point in the future. 2. For your current bag, I see that you play the KBS Hi-Rev shafts. What's your opinion on those?

Yeah definitely. We will have to meet up for a round for sure. 
 

The hi rev shafts are very very good on any partial shot. I find them to have a lot of feel and they definitely reward smooth swings. The only difficulty I have is with full shots but then again maybe it’s a sign I don’t need full shots on my wedges. My gap wedge has the 135x hi rev and I find that to withstand full swings a little better than the 125 version. Overall I think it is a solid wedge shaft as I have historically just matched my irons through all my wedges.
