71 sounds pretty sweet for some Driver testing - have fun!
they're pretty obvious to me. not sure how the lighting will show in a picture, but in-hand I think the two finishes are easily differentiable. I don't disagree that a number on the outside of the weight would be even more helpful.
I kind of see it like loft sleeves, though. how many of us novice golfers should be messing with that? shouldn't fitters be the ones to figure out optimal settings, then we leave it alone? so as long as those fitters are armed with the knowledge of identifying the weights, I don't see this as an issue.
I didn't mean to start a "debate" about the efficacy of the weight differentiation in the driver. All I'm trying to do is clarify that what was stated in a review by a somewhat influential figure is not accurate. There is differentiation, one does not need to remove the weights to see that. What I can't speak to is whether and how differentiable a 2g weight is from an 8g weight, as I have only seen the stock weights in a stock setup.
Stock length for me. I will probably have it cut down at some point 1 inch but right now not messing with it as I am hitting it well. I may try another shaft I have in it that is 1 inch short and see how that goes before deciding to cut the stock Riptide shaft.

Seeing as you don't see the bottom of the driver at address, only the earthworms would care about that.
Been meaning to come back and comment on your play from the last weekend. I don't know what your fairway count ended up being but it seemed like you were always in play. Like you mentioned, most of the misses came from the swing and not the club. Few times you were guiding it out there with that cutter. Can't remember what hole it was on the back 9 on Saturday but you hit one that went straight, didn't cut and had some pop on it. I think we all looked at each other and said, that's the one!
I think your strategy is on point in working on your iron play this year and keep working on the driver swing and as you said, "Letting the ball just get in the way". Enjoyed it my man!
One last thing I just remembered. @mikeg_74 let me hit his Max on Friday as I had just put in a few swings with the standard. The Max did sound louder than the standard. Not in a bad way, just was different. For sure recommend hitting both of them for those that have not because the sound is just a little bit different.
Which shaft are you using?
Bombs, lol. Got to try the SZ today.
I'll see if I can figure out some data. And write up my thoughts after this trackman session. I'm not great at navigating it's menus and I was at my time limit trying to get info. Will have to see what I got when I was in a rush after I get home in an hour.
Yeah I'd say that's pretty good!
Radi isn't very friendly to the ball.
Minnesota nice ends at the tee box.
Yeah right. You probably apologize to the ball upon arriving to it 330 yards down the fairway.
That came out great! Shot of the crown maybe?
Got my Max last week and I am ashamed to say I have only made it to the range 1 time and not for long then. Unfortunately weather and other factors have limited me. I am hoping to get back to the range this afternoon. I am still not thrilled with the sound but it is better then the last couple releases. I can’t decide if I am going to get along with the shaft either. I am pretty accurate with it but launch may be a little bit of an issue. I was also at a range that is hard to judge distance because how it is laid out. I think that is ok but again I need a little more time with it and I need to get the launch worked out. I could go up a degree in loft but I think it is more me then the shaft or loft as I did hit several that launched perfectly. I think at times I just do not hit up enough.
Looks great! And, man, those Customs covers are so awesome.

I remember your numbers used to look a little different. 11ish launch and 2500ish spin. Are a lot of the numbers from a swing change? Look like some high bombs there
