Initial run with the GoPro and I need to work on lighting and camera angle along with the positioning of the measuring device to get a more accurate readout of how long the ball scoots before rolling. 

 

@jbern, I used the GoPro and slowed the footage down here with the Adobe Rush app. 

Looks like a positive initial run with the GoPro. Thanks for sharing your process! Did they tell you at the putter fitting what the ideal distance is for the ball to start rolling?

That's the one thing I didn't get fitted for, they didn't have the putters in stock. I'm not sure what the ideal distance is that a ball should start rolling, but I've heard sooner is better.

See I am more of a basketball fan so I figure I got myself Durant and am very happy with that. Right @sirchunksalot?

 

... Putting this in the proper folder and as much as I love SirChunks, APH is like the new dumbazz owner of the Suns that gave away their 2 best players (after Booker) and FOUR 1st round draft picks for Durant. He then proceeded to fall apart under the pressure of the playoffs and cost the Suns a shot at the title. Sooooo ... no pressure Jason.

I feel more like the Durant that went to the GSW and won rings in 17&18. I mean he did have a phenomenal supporting cast and I feel like having APH, I do too. 

No pressure whatsoever, Sam. My game ain't going nowhere but up.

... Good point, Durant was a stud! And gotta say I absolutely love your misplaced confidence.

Is there a regular season to the competition?

... I hope your Coba bag gets some Cobra clubs very soon. You'd think they can make some universal features like a loop on both sides which just seems like a no brainer. And a dedicated putter well. Kinda funny but I don't use a glove so I am glad there is not velcro that catches my towel. My Zip has a high clip so it is well above the pass through but the base has a square notch that fits the Cobra bags base like a Lego connection so it is rock solid where my Sun Mountain was not. So far I have had few problems with clubs catching but the few times they have it is annoying trying to find which other club is causing the lock up. 

... Seems every bag has +'s and -'s but I think due to the heat and the best cooler section I have ever used along with the locking base, the Cobra will definitely be a keeper for me. 

I do miss the dedicated putter well. I get it though. They were trying to go ultra light. I have to measure but I believe the bag diameter is a tad smaller that anything else I have that is deemed a cart bag. My Motocaddy straps don’t get tight enough. I was able to modify the top strap but the bottom one is a little loose.

With time on my hand waiting for my clubs, I decided to go through one of my golf cabinets of trinkets accumulated over the years.

Look what I found. An oldie but a goodie. Ready to see the light of day once again.

... I have 4 rounds booked this week so if you want any info about how the clubs perform feel free to ask.

Tomorrow is the last day of hope. No shipping notice and I’ll have to cancel my fitting tuneup for the clubs. No way they could get here in time for Friday. Maybe they know my Birthday is on Fathers Day and they are waiting for that!

... My clubs came 2 days after my shipping notice. Granted I am a little closer than NC but anything is possible!

The bag took 6 days to deliver. I’m open to pleasant surprises.

You could always use my kryptonite against me.

Aerojet irons finished 3rd in 2023 Most Wanted Testing for Game-Improvement irons. My desperation for these sticks has now reached an all time high.

... I tried but installed my normal grip on my Cobra putter. I have been using a skinny pistol grip similar to the standard Ping grip for 35 years so it's a trick this old dog can't be taught.

I assume you mean tough in not wanting to mess up the beauty of it vs tough to hit well  

Although both things can be true...ha
