I ended up making an appointment at PGATSS and got fit in their tour studio. Overall it was a good experience. It wasn’t as magical and data driven as seen on TXG videos appear to be, but I think I came out of it with what I wanted. I was trying to be brand agnostic, but did mention that I would buy the Ping 425 Max if I just bought off the rack. I tried maybe 3 different heads, but we primarily focused on that driver. I wasn't hitting well at all that day. But then again I don’t have a consistent driver swing. I warmed up with my flimsy Callaway Strata driver, and he asked if that was my actual swing. He said my swing speed was 80. Swinging slow and in the middle of my stance is the only way I can hit it straight, and it goes super high for about 220 and stops. If I put the ball in the front on my stance I hook it way left. Anyways when I actually swing for real, I was averaging 100-105 swing speed. Ultimately I ended up getting a 9* Ping 425 Max with a 65g Ping Tour Stiff shaft, turned down to an 8* with the weight set to fade. At first I was a little skeptical, because I didn’t perform well there. I was still hitting it to the left. He told me I just needed some practice with it. After a few rounds last week, I’m very happy with it. I’ve been averaging about 275 with it. I’ve even hit a few 290 according to my Garmin watch! I’m so happy to have my first real driver!

Do you still get charged full price for the club, in addition to the costs of the shaft and grip? Man I wanted to go to CC, but I think I may stick PGASS. Really I just want to be fit for stock options on clubs.

I finally broke 90 fir the first time yesterday! Shot an 89! I think that I finally figured out how to hit my driver! Being able to keep my drives in play is a complete game changer! Only 2 lost balls penalties, from bad drives. Thanks to LSW. I've landed 6 GIRs and 9 nGIRs! Made it all the way to 13, before I missed my first GIR/nGIR. Only had 1 7, thanks to a 3 putt. I hope to be a mid 80s players by the end of the summer!

Just ordered the videos! Thank you for the code! Can’t wait to start watching.

I should be receiving my Vice Pros today or tomorrow. The lime green was finally back in stock, so I got a 5 pack! I'm curious to see how green they are in person. The matte green Callaway Supersofts are my favorite colored ball to play, but they too marshmellowy for me, especially off the putter. I've tried Bridgestone's e12 soft in the matte green, but I wasn't a fan. MGS's golf ball snobbery has convinced me that I needed to play non matte, firmer, urethane balls. So I've tried various models, and I admit that it has improved my game some, but I refuse to pay premium prices. $30 is about my limit. I bought a variety pack of Snell's at the end of last season in yellow, I really wanted to like them, but for some reason I just don't. Not to mention they are having supply issues as well now, and have increased prices. Srixon Z-Stars have been my gamer when the Father's Day BOGO sail comes along. $20/dozen tour quality balls can't be beat! Plus you can get last year's model at Walmart for $25. Anyways, MGS gave the new 2020 version of Vice Pros a good review, and YouTube's Peter French switched from TP5x to Vice Pro+. As much as I hate Vice's marketing, nothing screams "I'm a complete douche" than being a Vice brand ambassador, they are the only company that has a ball that checks all 3 boxes for me, urethane cover, under $30, and in a non-matte green. So I figured that I would give them a go this season.

Any new codes for the videos? I bought the book for myself around Christmas. I absolutely loved it! It's improved my aiming and club selection dramatically. Shot a 45 yesterday with no 7s! 2 GIRs and 4 nGIRs, plus a 2 putt birdie! If I didn't hook my last 2 drives OB, I would've finished with a 42. My wife got me a range pass, so I'm looking forward to applying the drills from the book. I'm going to break 90 this season, I can feel it!

I had similar problems with the Apple Watch. I have the series 3. I really loved using it with the Golfshot app. But my problem was with the watch gps and battery. 18 holes with the gps turned on the watch drains so much battery life. I would have to make sure I started the round with a full charge. I also didn't like that I would have to stand there for about 10 seconds after the screen comes on to wait for the gps to recalibrate before each shot. Another tidbit was that Apple Music would keep opening on the watch, even though I wasn't even playing any music, so I'd have to flip between apps on the watch constantly. I'm currently using a Garmin S20. I love that it's always on, calibrated, and the battery lasts forever. I can literally charge it for 10 minutes and have enough juice to get 9 holes in without a sweat. I'd really like to give Arccos a try, but I'm not sure how I feel about using the Apple Watch again. Plus I don't want to constantly be on my phone again before using either watch options, but I love data tracking and reviewing my previous rounds. I've also considered upgrading to the Garmin S62 or using the G80, but I don't know how I feel about using a standalone gps, when technically my phone can do that already, just have to be more conservative with the battery life. Maybe get one of those rechargeable batteries for my pushcart.

I love the design of this bag. I really like the Woode 15. I love that it's made for push carts. Too bad that I just got my Ogio Alpha 6 months ago. I love the bad when riding, but not so much when pushing. The Hybrid would make a great range bag!
