If you have a fast swing speed you should check out the KZG PTI or KZG Q drivers.. They are phenomenal drivers!

My wife bought me the jpx 800 pros for my Bday and I absolutely love them. I just finished playing 7 rounds in Puerto Rico. Back to NY now but with this weather I should still be able to play once a week.

bought Nike VR_S forged irons at half the list price, they are amazing.  Great feel of forged but the face is so hot!  also picked up a Ping i15 driver for less than $100 and have been killing it.  Last had to buy the RBZ 3 wood and I am not joking this thing is long and straight.  Almost don't need to carry a driver anymore

For this year, I purchased a new set of Callaway RAZR X Tour 4-PW irons, an R9 3 wood, and a Vokey 52* to fill the 52* that was in my old set. Got to love eBay and Global Golf!

First time Ping owner......i20 irons and i20 driver they arrive today.  I tried to not like them but they just perform.  Now we will see how they perform on the course.

"New" to me Titleist 695MB 3-PW.  I contemplated going with another cavity back, like The 07' X-Forged, or the 695CB, but the MPF ratings on those place them higher up the GI scale than my 755's already are.  The MB's are only 78 points off, so why the hell not?  If they don't work out right away, I'll swap them into my bag one at a time as I get comfortable with them.  The lofts are the same except for the 3-5 iron, as they are off by one degree.

Finally here!!!!  They are in much better shape than I was expecting, not bad at all for $200.  My phone pics are atrocious, but here they are:

NIce Titleist ^^^ pick up, errr, steal.

I am adding a Rocketballs Rescue 25 as a 4i sub. It will have an aftermarket shaft and shorter length.

I am auditioning lob wedges for really tight conditions - just bought a Titleist SM4 60-10 and 62-07. Will probably sell them for a Miura Black Lob Wedge when my guy can do a heel grind.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

Those are great looking clubs Moparman426!  And good deal on them!

I just found out today I get to pick up my new set on the 31st!  They initially told me my Iron set wouldn't be available until May, but they called around and got them early for me!  I must say this company has impressed me every time I have dealt with them! Excellent fitters, and very high quality of customer service!

Will post pictures after I pick them up!

Finally replaced the old 3wood that I purchased on ebay when I started playing a few years ago.  It was the only "R" shaft left in my bag, which made it the odd man out.  Picked up a Ping i20 15* with Project X Graphite 6.0.

Forgot to add that I got the Tour Edge CB4 3 wood. Blows the RBZ (and everything else) out of the water. Great club and it really is LONG and straight. Best 3 wood on the market (my opinion).

Been playing for exactly a year, decided to get some decent stuff now that I know I'll stick with the game.

Odyssey White Ice #9 35". Love the feel, might shorten it eventually .

Callaway Diablo Edge Steel 3-PW, which according to UPS should be arriving tomorrow . Interested to see whats gonna happen with these strong lofts, they seem to be in between RBZ's and Dragon's Mizunos for both loft and length.

Got a set of "Like New" Cally RAZR X (4-SW) from Cally Pre-owned back in february, then when the price fell out of the barrel on the Burner 2.0, I just couldn't afford to pass them up.  I've spent a little time practicing/comparing the two sets, and was looking forward to seeing how the Burners worked out, because they feel so good.

Well - the Cally's up to this point are "points above" the Burners, at least for me.  I have really experienced solid, piercing ball-striking with these clubs, and all the clubs fell like they belong in the same set (they all hit about the same, in terms of ball flight.  They have the True Temper "Uniflex" type shafts, which feel to me like they are in between a reg and stiff flex.  The burners feel great in the practice swings, but I just can't seem to get a solid ballstrike out of them yet.  It may be because of the shaft (reg TM Graphite) and the lighter overall weight.  I'm sure I'll get used to them eventually, if I ever decide to put the RAZR X's down.  For now, the Burner 2.0's are in the backup/guest bag.

I also picked up a couple Adams V-tech hybrids to replace the A7's I sold with a set of irons.  Very Easy to hit, but I am "yankin" them a little.  They have the Bassara Reg flex shafts, and may be a little loose for me.  But I'll get used to them.

My Bag:

  -- Cobra S3 Driver, 10.5 stiff

  -- Ping G15 17 Deg 4 W, Reg Flex Aldila Serrano

  -- Adams Idea Tech V3 Hyvrids - 3H, 4H, Bassara Reg Flex

  -- Callaway X Hot Pro Irons - 5-AW, PX-95, 6.0 flex

  -- Cleveland CG12- 56 Deg

  -- Odyssey XG Marxman Putter

Wanted to try a set of blades but didn't want to invest a fortune in case I wanted to go back to my X20's.  So I built a set of Snake eyes 685X forged clubs.  So far I'm really liking them.  Put in TT Dynamic Gold shafts and went with the Pure grips.  Once I figured out how to install the grips it was a piece of cake.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
