they're on the site... just go take a look...

I personally thought they were a bit on the busy/cluttered side, but I like a clean club. Snake eyes are good clubs usually, and I'm sure these are nice, but I couldn't get them based on the looks.
My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

Here Here. I agree. I took a look at them yesterday while waiting. I have no experience with Snake Eyes. I bought a Viper XT 3 Hybrid head. Has anyone played this? How about Snake Eyes fairway wood/hybrid heads in general? Also, I could put together a new set of the 685s if the looks could be altered a little. Has anyone played the 685s yet?

I was thinking of trying some out but then I looked at the lofts and they were too strong for my liking. A little too busy in the graphics but a good looking iron none the less. Snake eyes are good clubs.

You don't lose anything quality wise with Snake Eyes and they're probably better on their tolerances than most of the OEM's.

The 685x's have been on Golfsmith for a while, but I know they are coming out with a 685 cast iron head in June. I'm assuming that is what he is referring to, anyone have pics of those yet?

How would you guys compare these snake eye's to main stream brand's ?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
