Well, I just ordered one. Should be fun to play around with the 3 different shafts and weights. At roughly the same price as the R9 is going for, I figured it was alot more bang for the buck. Anyone else gamed this club. It's supposed to be a more classic sized and shaped club than the standard CGB Max which is larger and has the Triangular shaped head. I'll update with my feelings once I play with it this weekend.

i have the cgb max and i love it...i don't have the weights but i've been hitting pretty well with it. i prolly should get the weights though...just so i can screw around with it. right now i am currently fading my shots and i can't get rid of it but i'm working on it...

I have the non-limited version in the closet since the shaft is only 45g. If it had a nicer shaft in it, I would definitely think about playing it. Great looking club IMO.

Well, I am more than satisfied with this club. I don't have any places close by that allow trying different shafts with different kick points and flexes, so I've been forced to hit the few friends clubs and the random other people who've bee kind enough to let me swing theirs to get an idea of what I like. I've gamed a Nike Sumo Knock off with a no name Regular flex shaft and got decent distance but sprayed the ball everywhere.

So, I got the club yesterday, and took it to the driving range. I've never hit so many straight balls in my life. And the 3 shafts truely make huge differences in the trajectory of the ball. My favorites are the Diamana Whiteboard and the Fujikura Rombax with the Rombax giving me the best all around trajectory. The Matrix shaft is a much higher trajectory and might be fun to play to, but the lower trajectories seem to be far better for me.

Balls are straighter, longer, and feel like butter coming off the face. I've been grinning for 2 days. I played 9 holes with my buddy last night after the range, and he was amazed that I was ending up dead straight every hole. And I shot 4 over on 9 holes, which is about 5 shots better than my best previous 9 holes at that course. I give credit to no lost balls and the added yardage making the par 5's reachable with a shorter iron than I was using before.

Anyways, I highly recommend this package. At the $299 price I paid, I would be hard pressed to find a club with more adjustability for cheaper.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
