They have had XTD hybrids and fairways for the last two years, I had tried both generations but didn't find their hybrids to be great for me out of the rough or as consistent as the Callaway X-Hot.

I will say that with a clean shot off the fairway the XTD hybrid and fairways are long,  They have a nice sound and the ball really launches off the face.  Probably better for handicaps lower than mine, definitely give them a try.

I'd consider a look at the 15 degree fairway because the only thing missing from my bag is a slotted fairway, but it looks like I'd need to get a new shaft. The red tie is simply not as sexy as the black tie. Plus I have no idea what kind of gaps I'd end up with in my long game, since my current setup is fantastic right now. I'd consider the driver if it  wasn't just the second time I played with my new driver setup. I'm more likely to grab a 15 degree super LS hybrid head on the cheap once these come out.

Yup. I've reviewed some of their woods and hybrids the last few years. Still carrying the Fast 12 3-wood, and I gave the CB3 irons to a friend who seems to like them even more than I did.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
