I ordered my new driver after finally going through a fitting on a launch monitor a couple of weeks ago (after a few months of trying them all out), and it arrived yesterday - a Titleist 909 D2 10.5* with Matrix Ozik X-Con 5 Stiff. Spent about 25 minutes at the range and it felt great, hit some beautiful shots with a nice penetrating ball flight; can't wait to try it on the course.

Also, I finally decided to replace my SkyCaddie SG4 which I'd used for two years; for various reasons, I wanted a rangefinder and ordered the Leupold GX-I (the review and comments on this site helped a lot!) - arrived in the office an hour ago. This thing is very compact, and feels nice - looking forward to comparing it with my SG4 for a round or so before I sell the latter.

Phil Mickelson's Secrets of the Short Game DVD also arrived, so that'll help :)

Have lots of golf planned for the week starting tomorrow - at least 5 rounds - so I'll be able to update this thread with actual playing experience soon.

I think my bag is all set, no more "stuff" needed!

      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?
