I'll check on my IV later today if I remember. I am not sure I've ever had to adjust it, but I must have, right?

I would assume as everyone has slightly different variances on eye relief.  I was checking out all the various sights and they all say there is a "clicking" diopter for the GX 3i..I tried turning th eyepiece but it does not want to budge..unless I'm baby-ing it.

Okay, called the guys at Leupold.  Turns out the diopter is very tight when they ship (makes sense).

Anyway, take a firm grasp of the rubber eyepiece and slowly turn in both directions (kinda like a rocking motion, back and forth)..after a bit it will loosen up and voila! The eyepiece should move in both directions (left and right) and it's very smooth..so nice.  You can feel the "click" but it's very muted and smooth..feels like your adjusting the heavy focus on fine lens..which it is right?

I don't know the technical term, but are you talking about the distance of your focus? I believe this is what I adjust when turning the eyepiece on my GXII. I keep mine fixed on best focus at around 140 yards.

Yes, more or less, the relief when you get looking through the eyepiece.  Mine was really stiff in the beginning to get it rotating.  Think I adjusted mine to around 165..closest thing I could range on in that distance..lol

      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?
