This countdown clock needs to hurry up and fast.

Does the winner of this have to take on someone from Team Edel?  

This is going to be a fun follow for sure.  I'm so glad to see this back.

[ACalling]

Under the 24 hour mark, home stretch now!

Whoever picked this time must live halfway around the globe from MGS-land.  Who's staying up tonight to see the launch?

How many people are setting an alarm for 3 in the morning? 

Mine normally goes off at 3:15 but I usually don't check the forum until I get to work. I think I might make an exception tomorrow to find out who the competitors are.

3:15 !!!!! I'm just starting my second dream of the night then. I still get another 3-1/2 hours of additional sleep after that.

REM sleep is overrated, no health benefits whatsoever.

What I have heard and read though, in some research papers is that Cobra testing aids in energy, reduction in cardiac issues and lobito.....naturally. Its a scientific marvel

That video got me so hyped! I've never had the privilege of hitting with Cobra, but it sounds like their tech breakthroughs have heavily influenced my clubs. Good luck to everyone!

Then you need better dreams. I'm disappointed when I wake up and find out it was only a dream.  Definatly a mental health benefit. On the plus side at least I'm waking up!  

[TR1PTIK]

While I would love to be here right when the announcement is made, I think I'll keep my eyes shut for another 2-3 hours. Quality sleep has been hard enough to come by lately. On the other hand, if I'm already up... 

[vandyland]

All the putters look awesome. You would almost have to just assign random numbers to them and roll the dice. Hard to be disappointed.

Not me.  Between my time in the Air Force (o'dark early pre-flight showtimes) and decades of goofy international travel while working for Boeing, my days of alarm clock setting are over.  In fact, when I retired, my alarm clock and I took a short walk out to the woodpile chopping block... and only one of us returned.

Spoiler

Truth is it had been acting up anyway and I needed a new one

Looks like it'll be a party!

Also, while we are at it, let's just build the bag shall we? 

DRIVER: AEROJET 10.5* (but the question is DO I KEEP GOING WITH THE "OTTO-PHLEX"??? I think I get a different shaft since I have my otto-phlex shaft already in another Cobra driver head so it is easy to swap in and out) - UST Helium NANOCORE Stiff. I think this is a bridge back to stiff flex. Higher torque (which I like - mid 5s), light weight and high launch. Might have to test it out at golf galaxy to make sure it doesn't spin like crazy. **NOTE couldn't add to my basket because this driver is SOLD OUT. Cobra is killing it with this driver so congrats to them. So I put the palm tree crew AEROJET in the basket. 

FAIRWAY: AEROJET 7W- 21.0* (never gotten along with fairway woods BUT I've also never tried a 7W) Stiff flex Kai'li Blue 60g which is the stock shaft. 
or
HYBRID(s): Would do AEROJET hybrid (19*) OR King Tec Hybrid (19*) as well with stiff shaft. Love the customization option on the King Tec but love look of the AEROJET as well. 

IRONS: I put the 4-PW in the basket but I would want the 5-GW in KING TOUR, steel/stiff. I tested the MIM Tours when they came out and they finished 2nd for me out of about 11 different irons sets that I hit off grass, on trackman, over several weeks. Just awesome irons. I would like to think I working towards being a better player now and I prefer the slightly smaller look of the king tours without going into a full blown PLAYERS club. Anyway, these are sexy as hell. 

WEDGES: SNAKEBITE Black look amazing AND have the full face grooves that I have embraced on the higher lofted wedges. Would start at 52* since I got the 48* GW in the King Tour. I would go classic grind since I don't use my 52* for any versatile shots so stock stiff shaft there. The next one would be a 56* which I would opt for the versatile grind and then do a 60* in the wide low to give myself some bounce diversity (widelow is 4* bounce and versatile is 10*). Typically I just get by with a 58* so splitting the difference here could be a gamechanger. Had to do 56* in widelow due to the versatile being sold out but I that is just to build the cart.
