I ended up ordering the 13.5 (as mentioned in previous post) and have been experimenting over the past week and a half with settings. I think I finally settled on lofting it down almost all the way (whatever the tick just higher than -2 degrees would be) in order to open up the face a bit (my...
This really intrigues me. I can hit my current 3W off the tee pretty accurately about 230 at 15.5 degrees. My 10.5 degree driver can go about 260, but isn't as accurate. I'm thinking this club would kind of split the difference and be the best of both worlds. But do I want to spend $380...
Greenside from the bunker today for birdie on #15 at Emerald Valley. Before that was a short chip-in for birdie from just short of the green on #16 at the Sheep Ranch on February 1st.
I play AVX because I put a lot spin on my irons and these are the best option for not ripping it back off of our severely tilted greens :)
Never had any issue with check around the greens. If the new version is even better, all to the good!
LTDx Max Driver about two weeks ago, replacing my RadSpeed driver. I had a tour-length shaft with the RadSpeed, but actually hit the "normal" LTDx a little better. I went with the stock regular shaft this time around, versus a much lighter special order shaft with the RadSpeed. Seems to be a winner.
They're good in general, but my "H2No" bag stopped being waterproof after a year or so of use. We get a ton of rain during the winter here in Oregon, so I guess it's to be expected, but I hoped it would last longer. In general, weather gear tends not to hold up very well to our winter weather.
My course/area is pretty much ground zero for LAB and I have at least ten golf buddies using their putters (off of the top of my head). I haven't personally tried (pretty happy with my Ping), but these guys are draining putts from everywhere.

Probably not what you're looking for, but rain- and wet /cold weather-gear. Lighter, better, warmer. I live in the PNW and we play rain or shine. The rain bag (Sun Mountain H2NO) pretty much failed after a season. Rain shoes don't hold up to the amount of wear and tear we put on them playing...
I've been gradually replacing my SpeedZone OL irons with LTDx OL irons...trading in clubs and emptying my garage of old irons and drivers. I have the S, G, and PW so far, with 9 and 8 on the way. Will probably trade in the SZs for the 7, 6, and 5 next. I am liking them! The heads are a little...
It seemed different than most of the south Florida courses I played. Most of them were just "ponds and palms" but PP had a lot of character and interesting holes/routing. I have a hard time remembering the specifics of most of the courses I played down there (only lived there for a year), but PP...
I would personally choose Plantation Preserve. I played Jacaranda only once and it wasn't memorable to me. I think there may have been a renovation since I moved away in 2016. I really liked PP, though.
I don't see too much of it. I'd estimate that I hit:
GW - 95
PW - 105
9I - 125
8I - 135
7I - 145
6I - 155
5I - 165
I am going to check the 9 and the PW on the lie/loft machine at some point to make sure they're how they ought to be. I get the GW 100 every now and then, but the PW really never...
Just played Gearhart and Astoria CC a couple of weeks ago and vastly preferred Astoria. Gearhart had just punched their greens and the weather was atrocious. Astoria is SUPER interesting architecturally speaking and in much better condition. Playing down bowling lanes with 40 foot dunes in some...
