From Tony Finau talk to MV’s crazy house buying stories.
Over the years we have spent a lot of time at the PGA Show together including his few years working with THP. I too, miss that this week.
Like his talk about the Apex Pro irons, and the entire Apex series in general. As well, the specific talk on the combo sets. It’s amazing all the discussions that go into combo making decisions. I for one am very intrigued by these combo sets, and it’s great to hear how much they have thought about the process for us. I’d gladly take a combo of those great looking Apex irons, which across the board tick a lot of boxes.
The Finau talk was very interesting. You have to respect a guy who has worked so hard to get to where he’s at. Here’s to hoping he can make the jump, because he does seem like a great guy on tour.
I will say I disagree with one thing regarding graphite shafts he or someone else from Callaway said in a live session during Showcase week. I think the comment was regarding mmt shaft offerings with the new apex irons and something along the lines of why would anyone want heavier graphite irons shafts. That’s a far too oversimplified blanket statement. I get that graphite can be made as stiff as steel at lighter weights. Steel needs to be heavier to be stiffer flexing. Got it. But that doesn’t mean we should all go lighter with graphite. We can, if it works for us. But weight is a key factor in shafts. I’m not going to play 80 or 90g irons shafts, graphite or not. I am far more comfortable and swing better at 110-120g.
As long as you never advocate for iron headcovers, I will continue to cheer you on. Seriously, your content, approach and delivery are exceptional.
It’s gotta be the joggers cutting off circulation
that is just not polite
Also the only podcast I dont listen to on 2x speed
GOLD
Pretty happy with iron setup and shaft it sounds like, should be a great season!
Not sure who said that, but to clarify… Many players should try graphite shafts and virtually all players should try lighter version of what they are playing now. That doesn’t mean it will be perfect for you, but many players gain speed with the lighter shafts and as we know, speed often wins. You still have to be able to control the shots and repeat your swing, but going graphite throughout the bag and often lighter is great advice for many, many players. Not all, but many. Going into a fitting with an open mind and letting the data dictate, at least to a large degree, is always the way to go.
Actually you are a really good interviewer. You ask questions that force thoughtful answers and you’re good at the back and forth part too.
I think you do a great job. It’s "real" and easy to listen to.
I would love love to go to golf Disneyland someday..
I can’t
this enough. As always, Vrska drops truth bombs.
LOVED the show guys, it was a fun back and forth as always and had some fun depth to the convo. Big fan of this one.
Need to check out a fitting with the new Callaway line, the max driver and the x forged intrigue me a ton
Driver will be interesting as well….
@vgolfman is so easy to listen to… so knowledgeable and seems like such a great dude…. totally feel for his house buying adventure… Having lived in NorCal since 2006 I know his pain!
If you’re a Michael Vrska fan, his Golf Origin Story with Chris McEwen is a great listen, also (@Canadan‘s ain’t too shabby, either).
Great show, might be a favorite… So much good conversation on this one and imagery about California golf…terrible situation with housing though wow…
