Clubs already touched down in Michigan! That might be some of the fastest shipping I've ever seen. 

Hopefully you have them tomorrow! Excited to see the unboxing and read your first impressions

UPS says delivery will be today so we will see. Of course they come today when I have to work OT tomorrow.

They are shipping express saver so it’s usually 1-3 days

Fingers crossed they make insane overnight progress and they are sitting on your porch tomorrow.

Mine were still in Mexico last night at like 9pm so there's a good chance you get them tomorrow. If they get accepted today and go to customs they should make it in no time.

It appears he was just trying to play with my emotions. 

If they DO go to Boston, which is entirely possible with how some packages get shipped, it was not my decision!

 

My old neighbor (still in Massachusetts) ordered a car part that got shipped USPS and went from Ohio to Hawaii before coming to the East Coast.... still can't figure that one out. haha

Hopefully none of our testers see anything like that!

This gives your gamers one last chance to impress before the Cally's with Ai faces show up!

Unfortunately I traded my copper p790’s as I was just not getting along with them. Got some black 225’s to tie me over but now looks like I didn’t need to as the callaways may be here first lol

That's USPS for you. I've seen USPS send packages between Ohio and Illinios for like a week straight before they realize it needs to go to Michigan instead. She one go from Kentucky to Atlanta, to Dallas, then to Detroit. Used to buy/sell/trade watches on Facebook and have seen so many horror stories shipping with USPS. I had a guy send me a watch and it got lost in Indianapolis. Everyday it updated "package moving through system" in the same location. After a month it must've been found and showed up at my house.

Just got back from running errands and UPS finally stopped by. Going to have unboxing and first impressions up this weekend. 

[JohnSmalls]

As have the 300’s maybe UPS works a miracle and they show up tomorrow if not well Monday will be great! Gonna try and go to the trackman range on Tuesday at lunch

[JohnSmalls]

Not sure how UPS routing goes, but the Ai200s just landed 45 min away, and then were taken to another facility 2 hours in the wrong direction.  Patience....patience...patience

I was at my son’s freshmen football game 15 min from the facility holding my 300’s hostage until Monday. It was awful 

[GolfSpy_BNG]

UPS doesn’t deliver in saturdays in my area so I can just enjoy the opening weekend of football know Monday is coming soon lol

Just wanted to add some more photos from today on these clubs. The photos don't do these clubs justice. My Girlfriend had a lot of fun taking the clubs for a photo shoot.

Thanks, the credit goes to my Girlfriend. She's a published photographer, so she saw me trying to take pictures and took over. Her photos definitely look better than mine. 

[JohnSmalls]

In eager anticipation of that beautiful long slender Callaway box arriving, I took my Wilson CB's out for a couple of iron only 9's this weekend.  I really wanted to go out and set a good baseline before the Callaways arrived. 

*All info is from Shotscope, compared to a 10hcp

For some reason this past year I have really struggled fighting snaphooks and irons have been right in the middle of the struggle.

 

Strokes gained this year approaches is very indicative of that struggle.  But something happened this weekend and my iron game just clicked back into gear.  Hopefully for good.

I think the Wilsons know something is up and are reminding me why I love them.  Not a perfect weekend, but was big step in the right direction with the two best ball striking days I've had all year.  The Ai200s are going to have a big fight to earn their spot.

The best way to get someone to do something is to show them how completely incompetent we are in doing it. Well played.

[Wib081]

I also have a few leftover photos I wanted to share from my unboxing today!

Yeah I couldn’t just open them and not put at least a couple swings on them right?

I'm taking mine to the trackman one night this week hopefully. Saturday I have a tee time with friends to get some shots in with them!
