Just curious if anyone has bought one and if it was worth 69-79 bucks? Seems they launched a Front 9 collection.

It's not a hat. Its a 70 dollar hat. I looked at the website. I doesn't take strokes off your game or give you a happy ending. Why is it 70 bucks? Someone around here has one. Hey it's Phil's hat of choice.

I got one last year, because I had a discount code or it was on sale. It was $48 before tax/shipping. I was looking for something that was a little more water resistant than my beat up Golfer's Journal hat because I knew the winter in CA was going to be wet, and it seemed like the "A-Game Hydro" was possibly what I wanted. I think I wore it twice.

It is a fine hat, nothing special.

A friend has a couple that he got for free from work. They feel nice and high quality, but nothing I'd spend more than like $40 on personally.

“Performance Hats”. I can’t help, and they are expensive, but if I buy a cap I can use it for years, so it’s not that big of a deal if it’s $30 or $70, but the $30 ones are fine.

I’m in the middle of my first watch. It’s so much fun and works just as well today. Being born in the 80’s, I had some nostalgic feelings to the paper forms, calculators, phones and everything else from the early 2000’s.

Just read that season 10 is coming.

Seems really nice. I might consider one. As far as price is concerned, it's hard to know. Could be priced for quality and sustainability of the business or just to keep the riff-raff out. I would bet on the former.

If that's the case then I'm buying one, I love the riff-raff. I will proudly even wear it backwards here in the trailer park. Hopefully I can win enough on a few scratch off tickets though to get the money to buy one, 😃

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
