After about 6 hours of trying out different irons over the last two days, I ended up buying the Nike Victory Blades. Now my back has a little bit of a twinge in it so it will be a few days before I get to play with them.

I think if I ever got rid of my irons, I'd get those bad boys. Those are some sexy looking irons.

Do you like your Dymo driver and 3 wood?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

ABSOEFFINGLUTELY.

The driver is awesome (I dont have the square one btw). I swing around 118 so I went with the xflex. I had a problem with really hitting the ball a mile high off the tee, and this thing gives me a great trajectory with great ball RPM (2400ish). It sounds a little funny, but man the ball just goes when you hit it flush. The 3W is great too, I am still getting used to it as its a little smaller than the T60 Ignite 3W I had before, but man this thing gets the ball in the air fast and it goes on forever. If your driver swing speed is 110+ and you hit this club flush, the ball is going 250 all day long. Its sick off the tee, a strong fairwar club as well. I really wish I had more chances to hit the club but the courses I usually play at done really give me a chance. I really loved my T60, but I could not hit it near as far and it wasn't as easy to get the ball in the air as this club is. If I had to choose between the two, and I could only have one, I'd take the 3W over the driver all day. Go hit one, its a great club.

I don't remember every single club I hit, and I can't remember what all the models were but here is the short list:

Mizuno: MP62, MP57, MP67, and MP32 Titliest: ZB, ZM, 775, and some cavity back A few other I hit was some crappy looking callaway, looked really bland, was almost like a split cavity, I think it was called x something. Hit a Ping, no idea what it was but I hated it. Hit 3 different Cobra's but nothing good enough to remember. The Mizunos were ok, 2 of the felt good, I didn't really like the other two. The two that felt good were probably 2nd and third on my list. I hated the Titliest, don't really know what it was, but the clubs just never felt good in my hands. I couldnt hit a decent shot because I didnt like how they felt. I had hit the Nike's before on a few occasions and really liked them. I had been reading about them since they came out. I really hadnt considered buying new irons until recently when I started hating my old irons and needed a change. I am admittedly a Nike honk, but I tried not to let that factor in my decision making. I did all of my testing with a 5, because that is the club i like to hit the most (idk why i just like it). The Nikes and the two Mizunos were similiar feel and such, but I was hitting a good 10-15 yards further with the Nike's. The biggest factor I think with the Nike's that got me to buy them over the Mizuno is the fact that I would have to have little to no adjustments done on the clubs so they fit me. On the Mizuno's I would have had to have several things adjusted included the shafts. I don't like the idea of buying a club then having to have it adjusted, and not knowing exactly how it will fill before you pay for it. I did immediately change the grips on the Nike's, I can't stand those velvet cord grips, if your hands are damp at all (and playing in houston's humidity they are non stop), the club slips and slides like you have grease on them.

      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.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
