Red team wins 1,000 points to zero. @mvmac is MVP because of his pod system and inspiring pre-round speeches.

I want Turbulators to help me drive it long with the PING G30 Driver! I predict that the BLUE (East Coast) TEAM will win the 2015 Newport Cup by a score of 28.5 to 25.5

Congratz @RandallT & @nevets88!

You guys did a great job!

Thanks!

But we have some work to do to polish our coverage.  I just reviewed the thread for that final day, and while we definitely had a blast with the matches going back and forth all day long (but staying roughly tied once the West caught up on the Singles matches front 9), my final post at the culmination of the drama could have used some improvement: "Holy crap. Now need to go to dinner with family..." Don't think Johnny Miller has ever said that upon the winning stroke of a US Open.

"Do you believe in miracles???!!!" it was not! :doh: Doubt Greg is too worried about job security at this point.

Anyway, I'm reviewing my driver fitting session from last year, and it seems I was definitely steered toward regular flex shafts, and I'm surprised I ended up with a 9.5 degree TaylorMade SLDR (considering they seemed so big on higher loft angles and I was replacing an old 10.5 degree driver). I'll likely post some thoughts around that over in my "My Swing" thread, to let this thread finish up. Join me there, if you have any interest at all or viewpoints in how to select the specs on a G30 driver.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
