Well my last purchase's were a Callaway 48* Forged Wedge, 54* Bridgestone, 58* Bridgestone, 6 dozen Nike golf balls, a large bag of tees, a club cleaner set, and a new club brush. Need to take the wedges back to get new grips and lengthened. It was a good trip minus running out of time before I could have the work done on my clubs.

Yesterday I bought a like-new demo X-22 6 iron for $3.50.  I'm going to use it as a test mule before I reshaft my set.

Tees. I needed to earn my free scorecard points at Dicks, so I built up my tee stockpile even more. :-P 2 and 3/4" length tees seem to be the best for me, I get the benefit of getting 100/pack and tees that are basically the perfect length. Previous time I got 2 dozen Taylormade Burnder Tour LDP for $30. A nice discount considering they're usually $26/doz.

A dozen Gamer V2 balls from Dick's, had to buy something to use a free-points coupon, and golf balls are a good, cheap item to use for that.  Never tried these, but they seem to be getting good buzz on here, so we'll see.  Almost went with my usual Bridgestones because the e5/e6/e7 family were on sale for $22 (normally $26 or $27 last time I was in) but wanted to try something new.

[/quote] Funny, because I took that chance to do the opposite a month or so ago: switch from the V2 to the e5 (temporarily). :-)

I don't know what I'm going to do with it.  I'm pretty loyal to my Scotty.  I guess it's nice to have a spare toy in the house.

Purchased the Garmin Approach S1 GPS watch.  Used it out on the course on Friday.  Yardage was extremely accurate.   I liked having the GPS in a watch.  It was very easy to use and even though I hadn't worn watch in the past, I didn't even notice I was wearing the S1.  I liked the simplicity of this GPS.

Bought a SQ machspeed 3-hybrid;  nice to finally have a new hybrid instead of a hand-me-down used one.  Whether I get a matching 4 remains to be seen, but my 3 is quite old and quite used.

I also ordered a new gap wedge (VR Pro).  Instead of buying off the shelf, as I've done for my current ones, I ordered it with the shaft I have in my irons (KBS Tour), although without soft-stepping it (can you even do that for wedge shafts?).  It's also half an inch under, just like my irons.  I've been saying for a while I'll try having wedges that are similar to my irons, and now it's worth a try.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

    • Wordle 1,644 3/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 a case of elimination and a good guess using what was left to choose from 
    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
