We have actually had rain which is great with mild temps and sun coming this week. Courses should really be plush over the next few weeks.

Yup, I know.  Talk to my Daughters & Gkids often and when you live in NE weather is always a topic.

We mailed to CT 2 checks to 2 of our Gdaughters for college.  They live 2 miles from each other.  1 check took 3 days the other 2weeks how does this happen?

I checked with Cobra there was a slight delay on some parts,but they think they will be able to get them out next week hopefully.  They will send me tracking info and I'll pass it on to you.

*UPDATE*

No specific dates yet but had to give a few shaft options. DG 120 X100 were not available. Well see what is gave several options and if those are not available will take whatever is and swap them out with something on ebay. Lots of DG available.

The KBS Tour 130X is always a good option - high launch I know but has that X-stiff stability and pretty dang consistent.  Perfect going into winter for the PNW.

this is not a drill  

package is on the way. I repeat package is on the way.

i do not know what I got for shafts so I’ll be as surprised as everyone else. Plan will be to swing Whatever it is and hit a LM to get some data on what I’m working with (unless it is not 1 of the 5 or 6 shafts I gave).

really hoping it’s sooner than later so we’ll see, me until further notice

Here’s to hoping for modus 120x. Then I’ll get the best comparison to the 2020 forged Tec.

How’s the weather up in the NE area? Hope you’re able to get quite a few outdoor rounds in before the season closes!

I play those in my wedges right now and often wonder just how good they would be in my irons as well.

I guess Cobra has expedited shipping. Just got a message from my dad (clubs were shipped to my parents house):

Perfect timing for a round on Saturday morning. Now to figure out how to get out of work right now....

I believe the plan of action on that one is to simply stand up, walk out the door, get in your car, and drive away. No explanations needed, new shinny stuff always wins

Do you have a mirror nearby to tell him? haha

[Clayton]

Did you have him open it and see what the spec sheet or shafts say?

[sirchunksalot]

I'm excited to see the new sticks @Lacassem! It's also good to hear they arrived in time for you to be able to get out and play some with them. Looking forward to seeing photos and hearing what ya think about them.

Alright folks. After a long day finally just got these bad Larry’s unboxed.

as with any new clubs …..but these are extra extra

I have been playing this style of club for several years and love the players distance category of club. But these….these look so sleek. The 4 iron  compared to my 790s is slightly thinner top line and a little less offset, but at address is a big difference (tough to tell that in this picture but it’s there)

i ended up receiving 4-PW, 1* flat, lamkin sonar mid size grips and the KBS $ taper 130.

Initial feel which a few easy swings is they feel lighter but extremely stable, I think I’m going to enjoy this shaft we’ll see. I have no clue What this shaft is like compared to my project Xs but we’ll find out!

cannot wait to get them out, I have a round Saturday morning and they will be in play just need to get my extra arccos sensors installed and we’ll be cooking with gas.

without further ado, photo dump:

Oh good. I only need to bend them one more degree flat. I should probably try the midsize grip too. Seems to be working for Crossfield!

Congrats on the win Mark, glad you got them in time for a few rounds and initial feedback before we’re relegated to simulator only rounds!

Seriously, how crazy is it when something looks this good and you don't want mess up its good looks but for the object to fulfill it's purpose it was designed to do it has to be used and gets its looks messed up.   

I’m pretty good with cleaning and maintaining finish but it’s inevitable. They must be beaten down lol
