Got an email about the Cleveland demo van being in town this weekend, since I'm left-handed and it's impossible to try anything in the stores, I decided to attend. I really like my HiBore and Halo 2i, but I absolutely love the CG11 wedges I've been playing, something about that whole CMM construction makes them feel really soft. The CG4 irons are made in the same fashion so that was the main reason I was there (I've been getting tired of the super-game improvement appearance and play of my Big Berthas for a while now). Well, I hit a few pure, missed a few, they all felt pretty soft and the bad shots were actually a bit better than the misses with my old irons; still a little confused by that. So I bought, they fit me, and sweetened the deal with a free wedge that they bent to 51 degrees resolve my indecision on 50 versus 52. It was really nice to get fitted by the tech's that actually work for the company, just seemed like they really new their product lines and how they played. After all was said and done, I had saved a large amount of money so I bought another Halo in the 3i loft as well.

The only bummer was that they had the HiBore fairway wood on hand and people were raving about how great it was to hit; of course they only had the right-handed version on hand :(

Have you had a chance to play them much yet? How do they wear? I'm hoping it's similar to the CG11 wedges I've had for most of the season. I've got a 5 year old and a 4 month old at home so I don't get the opportunity to get out as frequently as I'd like, I'm concerned that our first date may be on the course...

I'm fairly familiar with the ballflight on the 7 iron, I hit that the whole time I was waiting for them to finish my clubs, the rest of them will be a crap shoot I guess. I'm really hoping the yardages won't be too far off my old ones.

That's good to hear, looks like I'll be taking them out for our first date on Friday, I'm excited to see how they perform on the course.

    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe. 
    • What's the rest of that story? Where was the ball going?
    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
