And so here you go.</p>
<p>Times are changing (Stroke Lab, anyone), but traditionally putter stories are almost entirely about the heads themselves. One could argue that the PXG GEN2 putter story is every bit as much a fitting story.</p>
<p><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116563" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE.png" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE.png 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-300x200.png 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-768x512.png 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-200x133.png 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-36x24.png 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-72x48.png 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-160x107.png 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-320x213.png 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-400x267.png 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-140x93.png 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PXG-GEN2-PUTTER-SITEWIDE-100x67.png 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a></p>
<p>As PXG Founder and CEO, Bob Parsons points out, “Putts account for roughly 40 percent of shots taken, yet only a small percentage of golfers make an effort to be properly fitted.” I suppose you can chalk a good bit of that up to the mythology that the look and feel characteristics of a putter somehow supersede real-world performance considerations. Via the new fitting platform, which is basically a fitting cart for putters, Parsons says, “we’re working to change that stat. With the release of our exceptional new PXG GEN2 Putters, we are committed to helping golfers dial-in their preferred putter to help shave strokes off their score.”</p>

<h2>8 Models</h2>
<p>That fitting kit pairs eight 100% milled GEN2 putters with three hosel options, and an adjustable fitting shaft to dial-in the perfect length. It’s important to note that the adjustable shaft is a fitting tool only, and isn’t included in the final/take home product.</p>
<p>As you’d expect from a lineup with eight heads, the GEN2 putter lineup features everything from high MOI mallets down to reasonably small blades. The fitting kit allows each of the eight models (Closer, Lucky “D,” Brandon, Mustang, Bat Attack, Mini Gunboat, Gunboat, and Operator) to be mixed and matched with any of PXG’s three hosel styles – double bend, plumbers neck, or heel shaft. The heel shaft option is basically a slant neck. All eight models are available in both black and chrome finish options.</p>
<p>Performance can be further dialed-in by way of interchangeable 5g, 10g, 15g, and 20g titanium and tungsten weights. In the interest of simplifying things for fitters and cleaning things up visually, PXG has moved to larger weights (fewer moving parts) and has positioned them on the sole, which clears the nuts and bolts look at address.</p>

<h2>Pyramid Milling</h2>
<p>There’s a growing body of evidence to suggest that face technology matters in a putter. While there are still some that swear by a no-tech milled face, the reality is that nearly every major putter manufacturer has integrated some sort of roll-enhancing, speed-maintaining technology into its putter faces. PXG is no different. The GEN 2 putter lineup features what PXG calls a Variable-sized, Pyramid Milling pattern. According to PXG, the pyramid structures provide more consistent launch and roll characteristics, while at the same time softening feel. As with similar technology from EVNROLL and PING, the objective is to maintain speed, and with it, distance control, on off-center hits.</p>
<p>And yes, no matter how good you think you are – you do miss the center of the putter face every now and again.</p>

<p>I’m guessing some of you would say sign me up. Others, I’m guessing, would wonder if I was out of my mother-blogging mind.</p>
<p>Do you remember <a href="https://mygolfspy.com/superspeed-golf-overspeed-training/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>our article last summer on SuperSpeed Golf?</strong></a> It’s a unique swing speed training system designed to help you swing faster – a lot faster – almost right away. A SuperSpeed Golf set consists of three weighted shafts – one 20% lighter than your driver, one 10% lighter and one 5% heavier. Following SuperSpeed Golf’s recommended protocols (available on <a href="https://superspeedgolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>its website</strong></a>), the company says you can gain 3 to 4 MPH in swing speed after just one session, with more significant – and permanent – gains with a longer-term commitment.</p>
<p>Since last fall, seven MyGolfSpy Forum members have been involved in a case study on the long-term effects of using <a href="https://superspeedgolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>SuperSpeed Golf</strong></a> and the results may stun even the most hardened World Wide Web cynic.</p>

<h2>Turbo Neurons</h2>
<p>SuperSpeed Golf is neurological in nature – it rewires how quickly your body can respond when you pull the trigger on the golf swing. Technically, it’s known as Overspeed Training.</p>
<p>“A big percentage of our training has nothing to do with changing muscles, changing swing mechanics or anything,” says SuperSpeed co-owner Michael Napoleon. “Those are minor pieces compared to the fact that Overspeed Training, in its essence, just resets the normal reaction speed to a motor pattern.”</p>
<p>Translation: your neurons are turbo-charged into a new normal, and you can swing the club faster. A lot faster.</p>
<p>Each one of our testers was equipped with a SuperSpeed set and a companion swing speed radar to capture their results. Each tester saw a swing speed gain almost immediately, and after the first 6-week session increases ranged from a low of 3% to a high of 11%.</p>

<p>“These are your average weekend warriors,” says Napoleon. “From a physical fitness standpoint, we had a lot of variation. Some of them weren’t going to the gym and weren’t in an active fitness program.”</p>
<p>“The ones that were doing a regular fitness routine kept doing it. The ones that weren’t, weren’t,” adds SuperSpeed co-owner Kyle Shay. “They kept doing what they were doing before. The only variance was the weather.”</p>

<p>Through its research, SuperSpeed has charted out what golfers should see as they go through the program. It starts with an almost immediate jump that continues through what’s called the first Normalization period, which usually lasts about six to eight weeks as players go through the SuperSpeed protocols. After a month-and-a-half to two months, that first jump becomes more or less permanent, and progress hits the first Plateau.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116294" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="676" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-300x169.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-768x433.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-200x113.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-36x20.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-72x41.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-160x90.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-320x180.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-400x225.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-140x79.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/sstrainingcycles1200-100x56.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>During that first Plateau, swing speeds stay relatively consistent as players continue to work through the protocols. Then somewhere between weeks 15 and 26, players experience a secondary jump in swing speed.</p>
<p>“That second jump – there are a lot more complicated pieces as to why that happens,” says Napoleon. “Some of it’s neurological, some of it can be improvements in ground reaction force sequencing, wrist mechanics, increased stability throughout the swing.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“It’s a wild thing. People may be in that plateau phase for two months, two-and-a-half months. Every day it’s the same thing and then one day it’s like BOOM, there’s a jump.” – Michael Napoleon, SuperSpeed Golf</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Due to weather, work, health, and life in general, four of our testers took the winter off, but three continued with their protocols and, with the help of some coaching from SuperSpeed, each hit their second jump.</p>

<p>“We were really excited to see the second jump happen for the three testers,” says Shay. “We know it’s going to happen for these other guys; they just got stalled out. But again, these are regular Joe golfers with a range of handicaps.”</p>
<h2>Kevin, Mike, and Jason</h2>
<p>Of the three golfers who stayed with the program all winter, Mike Mock from Wisconsin and Kevin Loughren of Florida experienced the biggest jumps, and are both seeing results where it matters: on the golf course.</p>
<p>“I’m in the high 240’s now, that’s close to 30 yards longer than I used to be,” says Loughren, a 62-year-old minister from Tampa who went from 91 MPH up to 104 on the SuperSpeed radar, and from 88 to the high 90’s on his club’s TrackMan. “There was a big jump in distance early on, and then another one right around the first of the year. I’m a club-and-a-half longer, at least, with my irons now, too.”</p>
<p>Mock, who’s speed jumped from 104 to 115 on the SuperSpeed Radar, is just now getting back on the course after a long, cold winter.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-116500 size-full" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="500" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-300x125.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-768x320.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-200x83.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-36x15.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-72x30.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-160x67.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-320x133.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-400x167.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-140x58.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chart2-100x42.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>“I went through a club-fitting over the winter and was seeing increased speeds with all my clubs,” he says. “My last seven rounds before starting SuperSpeed I hit 56% of my greens and missed 3% deep. Through my first two rounds this spring I’m hitting 58% of my greens with 16% of my shots missing deep. It’s going to take some time to get used to my new distance gains.”</p>
<p>Unlike Mock, Loughren played throughout the winter, but like Mock, had to make some on-course adjustments.</p>
<p>“There have been a few times where timing was an issue, and my sequencing seemed a bit off,” he says. “And I’ve actually moved back a set of tees because I was hitting it into the trees on the same line as I was hitting it for the last five or six years.”</p>
<p>Jason Bentley of Tennessee – the third tester who used SuperSpeed Golf all winter, saw more modest gains, but did experience the same two-stage jump in speed.</p>
<p>“I’ve seen noticeable distance gains,” says Jason. “Hit my longest drive on Arccos (261 yards) and have seen a few in the 240 to 250 range.”</p>
<p>While not as dramatic as the increases Kevin and Mike experienced, Jason’s swing speed jumped from 89 to 96 MPH. Based on an estimated 2.5 yards per mile-an-hour increase, that’s a potential of 17.5 more yards.</p>

<p>Napoleon says it’s not uncommon for golfers to experience some wildness as they go through the normalization phases.</p>
<p>“If I change a variable and increase how fast you’re rotating, what you used to do to square the face is now going to leave the face open because the body is moving a lot faster,” he says.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Generally speaking, if people are going to have an issue, it’s leaving the face open a little bit more. It doesn’t have to do with swinging from the top down or anything like that. It really just has to do with the timing of the release of the club with something that’s moving faster.” – Michael Napoleon, SuperSpeed Golf</p>
</blockquote>
<p>“There are definitely ups and downs with the program, but you will get out of it what you put into it,” says Mock. “Having the MyGolfSpy Forum double as a support group definitely helped get me through the stagnant periods where I wasn’t seeing any gains.”</p>
<p>“Do I feel younger? I do,” laughs Loughren. “Our league just started on courses I’ve played a ton of times over the past 12 years, and I already have four career drives.”</p>
<h2>A Third Jump?</h2>
<p>According to SuperSpeed Golf, the process of Plateau, Jump, and Normalization will continue as long as a golfer continues the protocols.</p>
<p>“In theory, the pattern will continue perpetually, with the jump size getting smaller each time,” says Napoleon. The first jump is around 5%, the second is 3 to 3.5%. The third jump, which may happen in year two of the training, is going to be much smaller, maybe 1.5 to 2%.”</p>
<p>And depending on the timing, the increase can be permanent, even if a golfer stops the training for a while.</p>
<p>“We’ve had players solidly into that first plateau phase for a couple of months – they can stop and maintain their speeds,” says Napoleon. “If you stop right at the edge of the Normalization phase, a lot of times you’ll see regression, so it all depends on where they are when they stop.”</p>

<p>As of now, the MyGolfSpy testers are in a 72-week program, going through protocols designed by SuperSpeed Golf to continue the Jump-Normalization-Plateau process.</p>
<p>“I’ve just finished the 27th week, so I don’t know what comes at the end of the 72 weeks,” says Loughren. “They’ve changed their protocols since last summer, so we’re just starting Level Four, and we’re doing five swings with the current drills. I’m just really happy I’m done with the kneeling swings. I hated those.”</p>
<p>“Realistically I won’t be up to training three times a week during the warm weather,” admits Mock. “Summer is short in Wisconsin, and I know I’ll have other priorities. I’ll probably train one to two times a week during the summer to make sure I maintain my increases.”</p>
<p>“When I started the training, I was working 11-hour days with a 30-minute commute each way,” adds Bentley. “I still didn’t have any problems getting the training in. I estimate I’ve swung that heavy stick 4,000 to 5,000 times!”</p>

<h2>Unintended Consequences</h2>
<p>There are drawbacks to newfound swing speed and length, not the least of which is your equipment.</p>
<p>“It definitely changes how you play the game and how you see the golf course,” says Shay. “The only negative we hear from people is they need to get their clubs re-fit for their new game – because if you’re swinging 10 miles an hour faster, your old driver may not fit anymore.”</p>
<p>Case in point is Bentley, who will sport a stiff shaft in his new Callaway Epic Flash driver after years of playing a regular flex.</p>
<p>“My current swing speed (96.5 MPH) is right at the point where I can fit into either a regular or stiff,” he says. “My fitter recommended stiff because it tightened up my dispersion.”</p>
<p>“It’s like when you lose 40 pounds and have to buy new pants,” adds Napoleon. “It doesn’t feel all that bad. You feel better about yourself, and you get to buy a new wardrobe. It’s the same thing with your golf clubs.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116289" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="806" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-300x202.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-768x516.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-198x133.jpg 198w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-320x215.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-200x134.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-400x269.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-140x94.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mens_Action_Square_05-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, it shouldn’t be a surprise to deal with a bit of wildness as you go through the protocols as the skill part of the golf swing will need time to catch up to the new found speed. All three of our testers experienced periodic wildness to varying degrees.</p>
<p>“Depending on where you start and the way you were sequencing and using the ground, it’ll change,” says Napoleon. “It’ll change in a positive way: we get more vertical force, and we get better peaking orders and rotational elements in the kinematic sequence. But if you’re a player who’s learned to play with deficiencies in those areas, you may have never learned how to swing more efficiently or more athletically, so the skill side has to catch up.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“We find with high-level players it doesn’t take that long for them to figure out the skill piece to line up the face again to a little faster body rotation. That happens during the Normalization phases when things are adjusting. Once you plateau all of that tends to stabilize.” – Michael Napoleon</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>What Does This Mean For You?</h2>
<p>According to SuperSpeed Golf, the first jump in swing speed happens almost immediately and takes about six weeks or so to become the new normal. And anywhere from 9 to 20 weeks later, a second jump takes hold. Our three testers who worked with SuperSpeed Golf over the winter bear that out, with each seeing a measurable jump immediately and a second jump roughly 21 weeks into the program.</p>
<p>So if you were to start today, you could, in theory, improve your swing speed by 10% or more by Labor Day. That could turn a 100 MPH swing into 110 MPH, and that could mean another 25 yards off the tee and maybe a club to a club-and-half with your irons.</p>
<p>That, my friends, is a real-world game-changer.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116292" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1E7A9048-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Yes, I know we’re all supposed to be super-cynical about everything, and we all know there’s a wee bit of voodoo in every OEMs claims about hotter-faster-longer, but data doesn’t lie. The testers in MyGolfSpy’s case study are regular guys, just like you and me. None of them are internet marvels who smack it 300 down the middle every time, and none of them are what you’d call ath<em>-a-</em>letes<em>.</em></p>
<p>But every one of them is swinging the club appreciably faster now than they were last fall.</p>
<p>“These guys are regular people, they weren’t working on stuff in the gym and weren’t like really active and physically fit,” says Napoleon. “But our goal for this is that <em>anyone</em> could pick this up, regardless of where they are in terms of skill level, fitness level – it really doesn’t matter where you’re starting, you’re going to get better with this.”</p>

As to the value of this mechanical teammate, “They answer a lot of questions without saying a word,” said Solheim. Forty-three years later, I’d imagine Solheim would have similar thoughts on PING’s partnership with Arccos.</p>
<p>Through the use of sensors installed in the butt-end of each grip, Arccos captures thousands of data points during each round and when used in conjunction with <a href="https://www.arccosgolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Arccos Caddie</strong></a>, leverages artificial intelligence to make data-driven club and course strategy recommendations. “We are honored to join forces with PING in furthering the promise of data for the everyday golfer,” says Arccos CEO and Co-Founder Sal Syed. With Arccos, mainstream golfers have access to the same level of stat tracking, and performance analysis as tour pros do via technologies like Shotlink – and for better (or worse) Arccos’ data collection means you’ll know exactly how far your 7-iron carries on average – even if it won’t impress your buddies. “In addition to providing exact distances plus club recommendations, the app collects thousands of data points that can be analyzed to uncover opportunities for further improvement through set makeup or other equipment refinements,” notes PING President John K. Solheim. To take that a step further, given sufficient on-course data, Arccos could tell you when it might be beneficial to drop that 5-iron and add a 5-hybrid.</p>

<p>The agreement allows PING customers to access the benefits of Arccos technology through its custom-order program, which offers both the Smart Grip (sensor embedded in the grip) and Smart Sensor (sensor screws into the butt end of an existing) technologies. The MSRP for each sensor is $10.50, and the Smart Grip version is available exclusively in the Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet in white (standard) and aqua (-1/64”) sizes.</p>
<p>Arccos is engineered as a full-bag concept and therefore to access PING’s version of the <a href="https://www.arccosgolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Arccos Caddie app</strong></a>, golfers will need to equip every club (including putter) with a sensor. Additionally, new customers get a 90-day free Arccos Caddie app trial. After the initial period, an annual subscription to the app runs $99.99.</p>

<p>Three years ago, Cobra Golf was the first major OEM to venture into an agreement with a tech-forward company by incorporating Arccos sensors on each of its three King series drivers (LTD, F6, and F6+). At the time, the primary question wasn’t whether or not it could benefit golfers, but rather what would be the next logical extensions of such a platform. Now, with the PING-Arccos agreement, perhaps it’s a step toward more OEMs formalizing strategic partnerships with tech brands, though ShotScope is likely the currently the only worthy competitor in the space.</p>
<p>Taking a minute to consider the possible applications of Arccos and similar technologies, it’s easy to get lost in a list of hypothetical “What if’s” – What if AI could adjust for geographic factors like elevation, wind, and temperature? What if Arccos could scan and read a green to produce a suggested line? What if Arccos Caddie became legal for tournament play?</p>
<p>The Luddites might not be thrilled with such advancements, but big data is here to stay. If anything, it’s only going to get bigger.</p>

<p>In MyGolfSpy’s <a href="https://mygolfspy.com/results-2019-golf-equipment-brand-perception-one-word-survey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>One Word Brand Survey</strong></a>, PING was most strongly associated with the terms <em>engineering, trustworthy, integrity, quality and humble</em>. What this seems to indicate is consumers believe PING’s discerning, yet targeted approach to growth is made in a manner which adheres to its <em>Play Your Best</em> mantra and by partnering with Arccos, PING is continuing to make good on that edict.</p>
<p>Is this type of partnership something you believe other brands should offer?</p>

<p>Under normal circumstances, a one-year supply of Tiger’s golf balls from the <a href="https://www.bridgestonegolf.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>#1 Ball Fitter in Golf</strong></a> would be a pretty sweet prize, but if you’re going to offer a Tiger Woods prize package barely a week after the GOAT wins <strong>the freakin’ Masters</strong> (again), you gotta go big.</p>
<p>And so, we’re going big. Big Cat big.</p>

<p>We’re giving you a chance to win a one-year supply of <a href="https://www.bridgestonegolf.com/en-us/balls/tour-series/tour-b-xs-tw-edition-" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Special Edition Bridgestone Tour B XS ‘TIGER’ Balls</strong></a>. For the sake of clarity, that’s 12-dozen of the exact same ball Tiger plays.</p>
<p>TIGER stamp on the side? All number 1s?</p>
<p>Yup and yup.</p>
<p>Exciting stuff, for sure, but like I said, we’re going bigger.</p>

<p>In addition to 144 TIGER balls, the winner will receive a Tiger Woods autographed flag from the 2017 Masters. And yes – before someone says it – we’re aware that Tiger missed the 2017 Master. We looked into it, and it turns out there’s no rule against signing a flag from a tournament in which you didn’t play.</p>
<p>Do you want to win or not?</p>
<p>Hell yes, you do. The Tour B XS fits Tiger and it could fit you too.</p>

Here’s how to get them.<p>Everyone gets a free battery today.</p>
<p>Yeah, we get it; for some of you that’s probably not as exciting as your free World Series Doritos Loco Taco, but I’m guessing many of you might actually prefer the free rangefinder battery. Why? Because it sucks when your rangefinder battery dies. We know you depend on it, and we want to make sure a dead battery doesn’t leave you with one-hundred and who the hell knows left to the flag.</p>
<p>Precision Pro Golf is giving away <a href="https://www.precisionprogolf.com/freebattery/" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.precisionprogolf.com/freebattery/"><strong>FREE rangefinder batteries</strong></a> today.</p>

<p>In case you missed it last year, or you’ve already burned through the first one, Precision Pro is again running its free rangefinder battery promotion. You read that correctly – free. As in zero cost. Zip, zilch, nada. As long as your rangefinder accepts the standard CR2-3V battery, you’re good to go.</p>
<p>Simply <strong><a href="https://www.precisionprogolf.com/freebattery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a></strong>, fill out the form and presto, in a few days you’ll find a new battery in your mailbox. That’s it. No hooks, catches, or attached strings.</p>

<p>Why would Precision Pro just give you a battery? Clay Hood and Jonah Mytro founded Precision Pro with the belief every golfer should have access to a high-quality rangefinder at an affordable price, but perhaps most importantly, the company would value the consumer every bit as much, if not more, after the purchase.</p>
<p>Says Hood, “We like to go above-and-beyond when it comes to delivering great customer service, and the free battery replacement service is a simple way that we can to that. We thought expanding the replacement service so that all golfers — whether they have one of our rangefinders or not — was a great way to show golfers that we try to do things a little bit different here at Precision Pro Golf. If we go above and beyond for someone who isn’t even a customer, we hope they’ll believe that we’ll definitely go the extra mile when they buy a Precision Pro Golf rangefinder.”</p>
<p>Think of it as a free sample of the type of customer service to which Precision Pro believes every consumer is entitled.</p>

Jack routinely donned a yellow polo during final rounds in memory of Craig Smith, the son of a close family friend who passed away in 1971 at the age of 13 from a rare form of bone cancer.</p>
<p>Now with the support of the PGA Tour and various corporate sponsors, Jack and Barbara have set a goal to raise $100 million over the next five years to help fund pediatric health care. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals rely on donations to help cover treatment costs beyond what many insurance plans provide.</p>
<p>It’s a cause which the Nicklaus family has supported for years in Ohio and Florida, and the Play Yellow campaign looks to extend this philanthropic effort across North America.</p>
<p>For its part, Callaway is donating $4 for every dozen-pack of Callaway ERC Soft Yellow balls sold from April 19<sup>th</sup>-May 31<sup>st</sup>. <strong><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/2019-callaway-erc-soft-supersoft-and-supersoft-magna-balls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ERC Soft</a></strong> is the longest “soft” ball in Callaway’s line up and features Triple Track Technology for better alignment and a yellow colorway for enhanced visibility. The total amount raised during this quarter will be announced at The Memorial tournament (May 30-June 2), which is held at Muirfield Village Golf Club (aka Jack’s place) in Dublin, Ohio.</p>

<p>Says Callaway President & CEO, Chip Brewer: “Callaway Golf is honored to support the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals — an outstanding organization — through this Play Yellow initiative. We’re inspired by the golf industry’s broad effort to rally around this important cause and campaign.”</p>

According to the folks at Odyssey, most aren’t.</p>
<p>In truth, no one’s putting stroke is perfect – heck, even the guys on Tour have their bad days. With <a href="https://blog.odysseygolf.com/strokelab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stroke Lab</strong></a>, however; Odyssey believes it can bring a lot more consistency to anybody’s putting stroke.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108707" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Odyssey-Stroke-Lab-Group-3.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Odyssey-Stroke-Lab-Group-3.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Odyssey-Stroke-Lab-Group-3-200x300.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Odyssey-Stroke-Lab-Group-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Odyssey-Stroke-Lab-Group-3-89x133.jpg 89w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h2><strong>Testers Wanted</strong></h2>
<p>According to Odyssey, Stroke Lab is literally changing the way putters are built. The new multi-material Stroke Lab shaft is 40 grams lighter than a traditional steel putter shaft. Odyssey says the Stroke Labs shaft will help all aspects of your putting stroke; including tempo, backswing length, and face angle and clubhead speed at impact.</p>
<p>Is this just more marketing mumbo-jumbo that doesn’t make any real difference, or is there something to Stroke Lab technology? For answers, we need you. We’re looking for four avid, motivated, and detail-oriented golfers to test, review, and keep an Odyssey Stroke Lab putter.</p>

The <em>Twitterati </em>has been making a chrome forged spectacle of itself over Tiger’s new sticks ever since Sunday’s final tap-in.</p>
<p>Yep, Tiger’s new blades are sexy as hell and clearly the girl everyone wants to dance with. Arguably, Honma couldn’t have picked a worse time to officially launch its new blades, the T//World 747 Rose Proto MB’s. We’re not entirely sure what role the double-backslash plays, as Honma regularly uses <em>Tour World</em> in its nomenclature, but hey, I’m all for brevity.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116428" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-6-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Honma must have been hoping for bigger things from Justin Rose over the weekend to give this week’s launch a little juice – these are <em>his</em> irons, after all. Instead, it got an Augusta face plant: an early trip home and no Masters bounce.</p>
<p>As we’ve said before, if you want to be taken seriously as an irons company you have to have a serious blade, even though they’ll never be anyone’s biggest seller. Unlucky timing aside, by all appearances Honma is offering you a serious blade – if you have the game for it.</p>

<h2>Rose Protos</h2>
<p>Despite a cumbersome name, the – <em>deep breath </em>– Honma T//World (TW for short – another unfortunate coincidence) 747 Rose Proto MB irons – are a compact pure muscle back blade. And as the name implies, these were designed with and for Justin Rose, who left TaylorMade and officially signed with Honma January 1st.</p>
<p>Rose has used his namesake irons in every event he’s played this year, including his win at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in late January. Both Rose and Honma are proudly touting Rose’s input in the design process, so unless you believe the design team set a world speed record in getting these irons from concept to design to playable prototypes in just three weeks, the collaboration was obviously going on long before the Rose signing became official.</p>

<p>According to Honma, the Rose Proto MB’s (let’s shorten it to that, shall we?) are hand-shaped at Honma’s facility in Sakata, Japan, using what the company calls a “meticulous, decades-old file and grind process.” They’re forged from a single piece of S20C mild carbon steel (the Japanese equivalent of 1020), and Honma says each iron’s CG is precisely located north-sound and east-west for the kind of trajectory and control golfers who can actually play blades are capable of producing.</p>

<h2>Ginger or Mary Ann?</h2>
<p>Thanks to the confluence of timing and karma’s perverse sense of humor, the P7TW’s and Rose Proto MB’s are due for a lifetime of comparisons. From a style perspective, the Rose Proto MBs are a wee bit busier looking than Tiger’s blades – and they feature a more muted satin finish, compared to Tiger’s polished chrome. For you old timers, consider the P7Tws are more Ginger, while the Rose Proto MB’s are more Mary Ann. Both are pretty; the rest depends on where taste and preference lead you.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116427" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5.jpg" alt="" width="1194" height="859" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5.jpg 1194w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-300x216.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-768x553.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-185x133.jpg 185w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-36x26.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-72x52.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-160x115.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-320x230.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-200x144.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-400x288.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-140x101.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Honma-Rose-Proto-MB-5-100x72.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1194px) 100vw, 1194px" /></p>
<p>Spec-wise, the Rose Proto MB’s are in line with better player irons with a 34-degree 7-iron. Offsets are also fairly blade-like: 0.95 mm with the 10-iron (Japan’s version of a pitching wedge) all the way up to 2.95 mm with the optional 3-iron. If you’re scoring at home, the P7TW lofts are the same in the long irons but slightly weaker in the mid and short irons, with noticeably less offset.</p>

<p>Case in point, TaylorMade’s new Original One Mini Driver, which is simultaneously a celebration of the 40<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Pittsburgh Persimmon (which TaylorMade bills as the original metalwood) and the evolution of the Mini Driver. The former put TaylorMade on the map, while the origins of the latter, in the modern era anyway, can be traced all the way back to 2014 and the introduction of the SLDR Mini Driver.</p>
<p>My, how time flies.</p>

<blockquote>
<p> In 1979, golf was changed forever with the introduction of the Pittsburgh Persimmon™ – the original metalwood. For the past 40 years, TaylorMade has continued that legacy of innovation with game-changing technologies, engineered to help golfers perform at their best. The Original One Mini Driver incorporates that heritage of innovation with key performance technologies, packed into a confidence-inspiring shape that delivers on distance, forgiveness and accuracy. – <strong><em>Tomo Bystedt, Senior Director, Product Creation, TaylorMade Golf</em></strong></p>

<h2>About the (new) Original One Mini</h2>
<p>From a design perspective, the new Original One Mini isn’t quite as mini is the AeroBurner Mini (which oddly, came before the Original One Mini). It’s 275cc, which makes it 9% larger than the last one, but significantly smaller than any driver on the market right now. According to TaylorMade, that means the Mini driver exists in the category between drivers and fairway woods. The key point here, mini drivers are every bit as much biggie fairway woods.</p>
<p><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116314" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-sitewide-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a></p>
<p>Other than the stated nod to history, what differentiates the Original One Mini from previous Minis is that it includes nearly the full complement of TaylorMade technology.</p>
<ul>
<li>It’s adjustable. The discrete 11.5° and 13.5° models feature TaylorMade’s 2° loft sleeve.</li>
<li>It’s got a non-speed-injected Twist Face, which TaylorMade bills as “the ultimate path to straight distance.” YMMV.</li>
<li>It’s got TaylorMade’s signature speed preserving Inverted Cone Technology.</li>
<li>It’s got a Speed Pocket too, which is inarguably useful on a club that’s sometimes hit off the deck as it legitimately helps maintain speed on low face impact.</li>
</ul>
<p>Worth noting, it also offers a titanium body with a 50g sole plate and a carbon composite crown. That’s good for the requisite mass distribution, ultra-low CG story.</p>

<h2>Who is the Original Mini Driver For?</h2>
<p>Who needs, or perhaps more aptly, who benefits from a Mini driver? That’s the obvious question, and TaylorMade specifically addresses it in its press materials. As you probably wouldn’t expect for what is quite obviously a niche offering, TaylorMade says the Original One Mini Driver is for golfers of all skill levels. The selling point – at least on paper – is that it offers an off-the-tee option that delivers the accuracy and control of a fairway wood, with distances that are more in-line with what you’d expect from fairway woods.</p>
<p>TaylorMade further suggests that higher swing speed players may find the Original One Mini beneficial off the turf and that most will choose Mini as a fairway replacement rather than take the conventional driver out of the bag.</p>
<p><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116315" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/TM-Mini-crown-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a></p>
<p>None of this is untrue, though a deeper dive suggests an asterisk may be warranted. The math is reasonably simple on this one. A shorter club like the 43.75” Mini driver is almost invariably a straighter one (when compared to a 45.5+” driver). It’s not straighter through the magic of design; it’s straighter because the shaft is shorter. It’s really that simple.</p>
<p>Were it allotted more distance (or a longer shaft), dispersion is going to be similar to that of your driver. It’s also true that if accuracy and control are your objectives off the tee, you can accomplish the same thing by cutting down the shaft in your driver. The larger driver head will be less <em>workable</em> (which also means less susceptible to hooks and slices) and will bring with it higher MOI (greater forgiveness).</p>
<p>Point being, if you’re simply looking for more control off the tee, a Mini driver might not be the best way to achieve it. Taking the driver out of the bag to make room for a Mini doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.</p>
<p>Having said that, shot shapers will no doubt appreciate the greater workability, and there are still some golfers who prefer a (significantly) more compact head. My 2 cents is that TaylorMade isn’t stretching the truth even a little when it suggests there could also be some benefit with respect to using the Mini Driver from the fairway.</p>
<p>Having played the original SLDR for the better part of two seasons, I would classify the Mini as the ultimate distance fairway wood. It was easily playable off the fairway, manageable out of the rough, and more driver-like off the tee than any fairway wood on the market. I have no reason to expect the new Original One Mini will be any different.</p>

<p>The challenge for those who bag a Mini Driver comes in deciding what comes out of the bag to make room for it. In my case, I played the 12° model as my 3-wood, and I believe that’s the most logical place in the bag for golfers inclined to go the mini route – especially for those for whom the 3-wood is an <em>as far as you can hit it</em> club vs. a hit it a specific distance club.</p>
<p>I’m excited the Mini is back, though I’m perhaps less inclined to bag one then I would have been in the past (loved the SLDR Mini, but I’m really happy with my current 3-wood). The Original One Mini potentially offers the rare case where the utility both off the tee and off the deck have been understated. If you can hit it off the fairway (I confidently hit the original out of just about anything), then everything else is just a bonus. Like any niche product, however, one needs to consider where it fits in the bag and if what you’re getting adequately improves upon what you’re giving up.</p>
<p>Given my fondness for the SLDR Mini, I’m certainly intrigued.</p>

It’s an affliction to which many of us can relate. It’s 1996, and Nick Venson is 13-years old.</p>
<p>Like many kids his age, Nick is into collecting baseball cards and stickers, but there’s one item which has his undivided attention. Remember the 1992 cult classic Wayne’s World and Wayne’s obsession with a certain ‘64 Pre-CBS Fender Stratocaster? That bit is responsible for the memorable quote, “It will be mine – Oh yes, it will be mine.”</p>
<p>Nick’s Stratocaster was a Scotty Cameron Santa Fe putter with a gun blue finish. Objectively, it was well out of Nick’s reach, but that didn’t stop him doing odd-jobs around the house and neighborhood with the hope of scrapping enough cash together to buy it. It was a white-whale obsession with a much happier ending.</p>

<p>Taking possession of something he wanted so badly was a little surreal. He’d never experienced something like it before, and it ignited a passion in Nick, the full measure of which he couldn’t comprehend. All he knew was he wanted to learn anything and everything he could about Scotty Cameron and his putters.</p>
<p>The more he studied, the more invested he became – not just in the physical collection, but to the nuances of each putter; the history, design, specific details, and finishes. Why were some bumpers more rounded? What was the ideal geometric relationship between the flange and bumper? What role did sole draft play? Nick may not have been as precise with the lingo at the time, but these were the questions which kept him up at night. The more he learned, the more understood just how much more there was to discover.</p>
<p>His next putter was another Cameron – a Newport Tei3. Venson refinished it look like the Pro Platinum Plus VJ Singh used in winning the 1998 PGA Championship. It wasn’t long before he borrowed $500 from his parents, who rightfully questioned his sanity, to purchase another rare Cameron putter. Nick Venson had a disease, and the only cure – or at least the only treatment – was more Cameron.</p>
<p>Collecting can be an addictive pursuit, but for Venson, it became more than a hobby. When he studied putters, he didn’t acquire information as much as he absorbed it. Venson didn’t memorize release dates and model types to show off to friends or impress anyone – it was a byproduct of an organic devotion. The information just stuck with him.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-116245" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-2-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>By the time Venson could legally drive, he was more than just a putter gearhead. He’d become entirely captivated by the game of golf, and for less than $300, he could play as much golf at the local course as daylight would allow. His parents would drop him off in the morning and pick him up for dinner, and in-between Venson and his buddies rarely played fewer than 36 holes, and any downtime was quickly filled with putting and chipping contests for candy bars or a couple of bucks, and always bragging rights.</p>
<p>Venson gained a reputation as the kid who’d always show up with something new and crazy in his bag. It might be a new putter or the distinct purple and yellow UST Pro Force V2 shaft. It was kind of a big deal at the time.</p>
<p>In his book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell references a “10,000-hour rule” (roughly 3.5 years of a full-time job) as the amount of intentional practice necessary to master any domain. Seinfeld references notwithstanding, it’s likely Venson exceeded this number well before his high school graduation. He was every bit an expert on all things Scotty Cameron, but few realized the depth of Venson’s knowledge, including himself.</p>
<p>The internet was expanding, and with it, chatrooms and blogs were emerging. And while the structure now seems as outdated as an @aol email address, Bill Vogeney had started a collector’s group on Yahoo as a virtual meeting place for Cameron enthusiasts. Through this medium, Venson was able to collect, learn, and conduct business without anyone ever questioning his age. This level of anonymity allowed Venson to operate based on the merits of his knowledge. “I was fairly well spoken and didn’t really carry myself like a typical teenager,” recounts Venson. He could have been 14, 34, or 64 and no one would be any the wiser.</p>

<p>Venson continued to amass an encyclopedic knowledge of Scotty Cameron putters as well as the economic dynamics present in a collector-based market. For example, he noticed some of the Cameron Classics models were very popular in Japan (where people would readily pay far more than face value) but in short supply. Conversely, several models were readily available stateside and presented an easy profit opportunity.</p>
<p>The money he made flipping putters was quickly reinvested in – you guessed it – more putters. It was a strategy straight out of Warren Buffet’s playbook. Venson’s world, apart from basic required attention to schoolwork – was dedicated to growing his collection. His status in the semi-virtual online world of Cameron collectors was close to that of a deity.</p>
<h2><strong>SHOULD I STAY?</strong></h2>
<p>The putter world was fun, but it didn’t exactly scream <em>career path</em>, so Nick enrolled in college. Like many kids his age, he understood the theoretical value of advanced degree but didn’t have a specific idea as to what he’d do with one. He continued his side business of buying and selling putters, and in 2005, the man himself, Scotty Cameron, asked Nick to join him in California to start <em>Art of Putters</em>, a concierge service and outlet for rare, collectible and tour-issued Cameron putters. Nick dropped out of college and headed west to put his Master’s degree in Scotty Cameron to good use. According to Venson, in 2005 there were three people who rightfully claim to be the foremost authority on high-end, collectible Cameron putters. “It was Bill Vogeney, Scotty Cameron, and myself. That’s it.”</p>
<p>Nick received an education unlike anything he could have found in a traditional institution of higher learning. He saw the underbelly and experienced the inner workings of an industry which was operating at a fevered pitch. In 2005 Tiger was on a tear. He had rebounded from a two-year major winless drought to capture two majors (The Masters (<em>In YOUR life…)</em> and The Open Championship) and regained his status as the #1 player on the planet. As went Tiger, so too went Scotty Cameron, as there wasn’t a more visible or iconic putter in the world than Wood’s Excalibur – a Scotty Cameron GSS Newport 2.</p>

<p>The market for Cameron collectibles and tour putters was climbing with no limit in site. Cue whatever scene from “Wolf of Wallstreet” seems apropos.</p>
<p>Over the next three years, Venson learned as much as he had in the previous decade – particularly the psychology of collectors and what exactly it was that drove them to spend five-figures on a putter and hundreds more on headcovers, divot tools, and ball markers.</p>
<p>But Nick wasn’t wired for LA, and couldn’t see himself living and raising a family in Southern California. So, in 2008 he went back to his Midwest roots, returning to Chicago with intentions to finish his education and test the job market.</p>
<p>Many will wonder, <em>Why give all of that up to go back to school amidst the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression</em>? For Venson, it was simple. The previous three years answered some questions while creating others which couldn’t be answered by spinning his wheels. Venson is one to follow his intuition, perhaps to the point of being called stubborn at times. After all, that’s how this whole adventure started.</p>
<p>As serendipity would have it, Doug Hartman, who launched TheCameronCollector website, was close with Venson and asked him to spend a little time with Chicago-based putter maker, Bob Bettinardi. A 20-minute conversation turned into a 5-hour brainstorming session, the result of which was a handshake agreement for Venson to serve Bettinardi in the same capacity as he had for Cameron.</p>
<p>In 2008, Bettinardi had just finished an OEM contract to produce putters for Mizuno and wanted to establish his putters as an elite standalone brand. Admittedly, in this space, it was Cameron and everyone else. Bettinardi, like so many other challengers, was mostly an afterthought, but Venson had a roadmap for how to get Bettinardi where he wanted to go. Save for a handful of people still working with Cameron, Venson was quite possibly the only person Bettinardi could have enlisted to help him accomplish what he wanted to.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116250" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sT-3-1-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Over the next nine years, Venson would take on a larger role with Bettinardi than he had with Cameron. He was more involved in design and strategic planning sessions. Much like any other employee, some of his ideas were accepted, while many others were rebuked. There was also a family dynamic for Venson to navigate. In 2013, Bob’s son Sam graduated from college and immediately joined the family business where he now serves as its Executive Vice President.</p>
<p>As an objective reality, this would limit Venson’s potential with Bettinardi, and though he’d been a fundamental part of expanding Bettinardi’s brand and establishing its upper echelon status, he’d always be a bit of an outsider, which wasn’t all bad.</p>
<p>With both Cameron and Bettinardi, Venson was the authorized distributor and not a direct employee. It was a distinction with a difference as he reaped the benefits of inside knowledge and behind the scenes access without expectations of total allegiance. Though he’d hit the ceiling at Bettinardi, Venson understood how rare and special his journey had been.</p>
<p>“I’m exceptionally thankful for everything I learned working with Scotty (Cameron) and Bob (Bettinardi). I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”</p>
<h2>WE GOT NEXT</h2>
<p>Venson was an entrepreneur long before he knew what one was. He always wanted to see what was over the next hill. “I hate being told no – and I don’t always listen to what other people tell me…sometimes to my own detriment,” says Venson. But sometimes <em>no</em> serves as a powerful motivator.</p>
<p>Venson had been told by higher-ups at Bettinardi that some of his designs were too edgy and not suitable for “our clientele.” What Venson hoped is the decision-makers would see and trust his designs explicitly because of his expertise and first-hand knowledge of what collectors wanted.</p>
<p>Such instances, while initially frustrating, allowed Venson to come to the realization he wouldn’t know if some of his ideas were any good unless he could test them in the open market where collectors vote with dollars.</p>
<p>It would be a sizeable risk to go out on his own, but in some ways, it was the most logical next step. There wasn’t another Cameron or Bettinardi and frankly even if there was, Venson already had relationships with distributors in Japan and Korea and a cellphone full of contacts for anything else he would need to get up and running. Most importantly, his years of experience had given him his own ideas and a vision.</p>

<h2>If…</h2>
<p>If he assembled a team, it wouldn’t be a <em>build the plane as you fly it</em> operation. There would be a well-thought-out strategy and an understanding that not everyone would love what he did. Detractors would be seen as a positive indicator that he was on the right track.</p>
<p>Venson would want people to be drawn to the designs and quality of the product, not necessarily his name, so he’d need a creative way to attract people to the brand first – before they found out who was behind it.</p>
<p>In contrast to the other putter artisans, Venson would work to take the human element out of putter creation. So-called <em>handmade</em> putters are fine, but from a design and finishing standpoint, hand-finished putters are imperfect. Certain areas are over-polished, bumpers aren’t geometric reflections of each other, and toplines don’t have a precisely consistent radius. Many of these imperfections go unnoticed by those who don’t care if the torched and hand-bent hosel has exactly ½ a shaft of offset, so long as it is relatively close.</p>
<p>Venson’s objective would be to make a technically perfect putter. Every excruciating detail would be programmed into the CNC machine and what would come out would be a putter void of any inconsistencies or flaws. Every line would be intentional – some to cast shadows at perpendicular angles to achieve a certain look at address, and some to ensure the absence of distracting light, and most importantly the sole draft would be such that the putter would sit perfectly square at address.</p>
<p>Collectors and putter aficionados would be challenged with a question, “What’s more impressive, 5 hours of hand polishing or 50 hours of programming?” What if a CNC mill could be programmed to produce a single-piece 009/Dalehead with a flow neck? Might that reset the expectations of what constitutes exceptional craftsmanship?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116255" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/STT-3-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The putters wouldn’t be cheap, but exorbitant prices often breed the cultish sycophantic behavior his brand would be positioned to avoid. $300 ball-markers and $5K putters play right into the hands of those who believe loyalty to a single brand is synonymous with true collecting. “I would want to get putters in people’s hands,” says Venson. “Collectors want to be able to collect.”</p>
<p>The lottery concept is fine to drive demand, but collecting isn’t fun when golfers know they have a better chance of getting a sunburn in Siberia than landing a putter.</p>
<p>And It wouldn’t be just about the putters either. Venson would offer headcovers and accessories where he could push boundaries and likely the buttons of those who prefer khaki pants and blue blazers to neon lights and pumped-up kicks. He would pay extra attention to how every item was packaged because those are things collectors care about.</p>
<p>Venson would bring a genuineness back to putter collecting, where people couldn’t buy their way into an inner circle. Sure, there are social hierarchies, but big spenders wouldn’t get favored status or special treatment. The hope would be that collectors would pick and choose based on which pieces spoke to them. Say’s Venson, “I don’t want you to own every one…I want you to get the ones you like.”</p>

<p>Digging deeper into materials and design philosophy; Venson wouldn’t be big on contrived labels (i.e., German Stainless Steel aka GSS) or ornate features such as welded and twisty-necks. He would want there to be an authenticity to the putters which didn’t rely on tricked up marketing pitches, and the look would be distinct and cohesive; he’d skip the gaudy bling of Timascus and Damascus inlays. To Venson, it doesn’t make any sense to pay more to import 303 stainless steel from abroad, when it’s already available in his proverbial backyard. People would want to buy his putters for what they are, not some tricked up idea of what someone else has convinced them to <em>think</em> they are.</p>
<p>On the <em>wall-hanger-gamer</em> spectrum, he wouldn’t be making claims that the putters are universally better for every player or that he was offering some breakthrough technology, but through his attention to detail and design, he could make a putter which might be better for that specific player. Moreover, there’s no way in hell he could go this alone – he’d need a team that was as committed to crazy venture as he was.</p>

<h2>VENSON’S FIVE</h2>
<p>Nick would be the visionary, the “hey what about this…” guy with the mentality of a creator who cares more about great ideas than who comes up with them. He’s had ideas stolen, some by people with names more recognizable than his. Venson wouldn’t do the same in return. “That makes me sick,” he says. “I could never take credit for someone else’s idea…”</p>
<p>Venson would take the approach that success would come as a result of a team whose collective strengths would offset his weaknesses. He’d hire someone to handle tour operations, and a facilities engineer to make sure the shop could run efficiently. He’d need someone to handle the day-to-day business operations, and a creative director who would make Nick look at the hundreds of perfectly decent designs he did for Bettinardi and remark, “I’m inadequate. I suck.”</p>
<p>With this team in place, he’d launch the brand at the PGA Merchandise show by renting a small space but stocking it with only a single putter and headcover alongside two attractive ladies serving as booth bookends. If things went really well, he’d sell 1500 putters in the first 9 months and he’d get in the bag of at least one Chicago-area PGA Tour player.</p>
<h2>IT IS</h2>
<p>The truth is Nick decided a long time ago what his brand would be, but he never expected it to take off this quickly. Now the mission is to take every element of a putter, from design to delivery, and make it a little better. Precise milling replaces less accurate hand-finishing, and headcovers serve as a canvas for excessive stitch counts and creative expression. His brand is priced comfortably above standard off-the-rack options, but well below anything which would require taking out a second mortgage.</p>

<p>It’s a little bit loud and maybe too in your face for some, but from this day forward, Venson and his team will work to do something different and recapture the lost art of collecting.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, then there’s the name of Venson’s brand. <strong><a href="https://swag.golf/" rel="noopener">Swag</a></strong>.</p>

High price makes a positive statement while a low price, not so much.</p>
<p>I mean, when it comes to oh, say, a vasectomy, are you going with the low bidder?</p>
<p>No one likes spending $500+ for a driver, but that’s what big name ones are going for in 2019. So seriously, how good can a $299 driver really be?</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://touredge.com/#" rel="noopener"><strong>Tour Edge</strong></a>, every bit as good as the one that’ll set you back five bills.</p>

<h2>TESTERS WANTED</h2>
<p>Tour Edge made some noise over the winter with its new Exotics EXS driver – a fully adjustable, 910 Beta Titanium-faced, carbon fiber-crowned, interchangeable weight whoopin’ stick chock full of modern tech for only $299.

Guerin Rife and his team have pushed the limits of putter technology with their patented face grooves. From the ER9 Putter that touted 10,000 MOI, to the Tour Stroke trainer, Guerin has spent his career developing technologies to help golfers sink more putts.</p>
<p>Outside the box thinking is kind of his thing.</p>
<p>At the 2019 PGA Show, we stopped by the EVNROLL booth to check out Guerin’s latest invention – the Gravity Grip. With a 10″ steel rod placed one-half inch below the shaft and inside the grip, the grip is designed to provide a more direct link between the putter face and the golfer’s hands. According to Rife, “by tying the hands to the putter face, [it] promotes keeping the putter’s face angle square through the entire hitting area.”</p>
<p>Our Sam Robinson put the EVNROLL Gravity Grip to the test. We used a <a href="https://www.foresightsports.com/gcquad-quadrascopic-launch-monitor"><strong>Foresight GCQuad Launch Monitor</strong></a> and the Essential Putting Module to better understand how the Gravity Grip influences the putting stroke.</p>

They must incorporate a thin, responsive urethane cover to offer enhanced spin and control around the greens, and they must offer three (or more) layers to reduce spin off the tee and generate optimal launch parameters on iron shots.</p>
<p>Beyond that, construction and performance differences can be minute. Several hundred RPM here and 1° of launch there isn’t likely to make or break a round for the vast majority of amateur golfers. This isn’t to suggest all tour balls are the <em>same</em>, but there’s an argument to be made that as relevant patents have expired and the accompanying intellectual property has entered the public domain, DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands like Snell and Vice are leveling the playing field.</p>

<h4>DID YOU KNOW?</h4>
<p>MyGolfSpy is in the throes of its first-ever Most Wanted Test for golf balls. The test report will tackle a myriad golf ball related issues and should help bring the performance discussion together in a more meaningful and cohesive fashion.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>With the <strong><a href="https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/maxfli-2019-tour-x-golf-balls-19maxmmxfltrxglssgbl/19maxmmxfltrxglssgbl" rel="noopener">Tour and Tour X</a></strong>, Maxfli is following the industry standard two-pronged approach. It’s pairing a lower compression (90), 3-piece ball (Tour) with a higher compression (100) 4-piece ball (Tour X). While 90 compression shouldn’t be considered soft by modern standards, in general, lower compression leads to less spin throughout the bag, whereas higher compression balls tend to launch higher, spin more, and often produce a bit higher ball speed. Both the Tour and Tour X feature soft cast urethane covers a la Titleist and TaylorMade. Comparatively, Bridgestone and Callaway use a TPU (Thermoplastic Injection) cover.</p>

<p> </p>
<h2>WHAT ELSE?</h2>
<p>The differentiating factor with this release is Maxfli’s <a href="https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/maxfli-2019-tour-x-golf-balls-19maxmmxfltrxglssgbl/19maxmmxfltrxglssgbl"><strong><em>Center of Gravity balancing</em></strong></a>. The premise is fundamentally the same as the <a href="https://amzn.to/2UIUer8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Technasonic Check-GO</strong></a>, which spins a ball at 10,000 RPM to find the ball’s most balanced orientation. With Maxfli, however, this process takes place during production. Maxfli uses the linear side stamp to indicate optimal alignment.</p>
<p>CG alignment is based on the understanding that a ball wants to spin around its most balanced orientation. If the ball starts in that position, less time and energy are wasted during flight, leading to more efficient flight. It’s somewhat akin to throwing a perfect spiral as compared to a wobbling, wounded-duck. Moreover, the practical application of CG alignment, according to Maxfli, is it helps tee shots reach a greater peak height and fly farther.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115806" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-5-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Maxfli also supplied testing data from Golf Laboratories to support the “higher and farther” assertion. Specifically, the testing data shows 2.5 yards of additional carry with 1 yard more peak height. This is based on a 95 MPH driver swing speed. Subsequent Golf Labs testing suggests that the increased distance does not come at the expense of wedge spin/control. When compared to category leaders (Titleist Pro V1 and ProV1x) results for the Maxfli Tour and Tour X were similar. The Maxfli Tour produced fractionally less spin with similar height as the Pro V1, while the Tour X generated an additional 100 RPM of spin, with nearly identical total distance as the Pro V1x.</p>

<p>It’s easy to get too far into the weeds on specific numbers which ultimately don’t play a large role in performance, but what such testing offers Maxfli is some evidence to support its insistence that this iteration of Maxfli balls belongs in the same class as Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone, Srixon, and TaylorMade.</p>
<p>No doubt, critics will point to the fact that to whatever degree the technology impacts performance, it does so only when the player can (or chooses) to align the ball, which is the tee and green only. However, Maxfli contends performance isn’t falling off during the other 30-40 shots per round; it’s simply a value-added feature.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, though it’s still the subject of ongoing testing, there isn’t statistically significant evidence to suggest CG alignment results in more made putts, though it could make for some spirited conversation.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115803" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ST-1-1-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The ball market is becoming increasingly competitive as performance from challenger brands reaches levels similar to leading brands. As such, OEMs often differentiate themselves with price (Snell and Vice dip below $30/dozen for bulk purchases), technology (dimple design, multiple cores, different materials, and specialized urethane covers), or in the case of Maxfli, possibly both. At $35/dozen, Maxfli doesn’t offer significant cost savings over DTC brands, but the pertinent point is that the balls are $10+ less than most every other tour ball to which it sits adjacent at every one of the 700 or so Dick’s Sporting Goods locations nationwide.</p>
<p>With that, does the CG story resonate or is the tour ball dance floor already too packed?</p>

<p><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116103" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cobra-F9-Special-Edition-19-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a></p>
<p>To that end, Cobra is offering up a Special Edition of its F9 Speedback driver, which is designed to celebrate the first major of the year, while at the same time, offering golfers who maybe didn’t love the original Yellow or Avalanche colorways an alternative. Not for anything, but the gray snake against matte black if my new favorite of the three from an alignment perspective.</p>

<p>According to Cobra, the camo pattern on the sole and skirt of the dirver “blends the outlines of the United States and state of Georgia in a layered design for a sophisticated, fresh look on the course.” It’s perhaps worth a mention that the driver blends seamlessly with Cobra’s other celebratory gear like Rickie’s <a href="https://www.cobragolf.com/le-camo-headcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LE Camo <em>Patience</em> headcover</strong></a>, and the <a href="https://www.cobragolf.com/limited-edition-camo-stand-bag" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Camo green Cobra X Vessel</strong></a> stand <strong>bag</strong>. I’m generally not a big Camo guy, but even PUMA’s <a href="https://amzn.to/2I5MDNa" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>special edition apparel </strong></a>looks good this time around, though I worry that we might lose sight of Rickie against the backdrop of the notoriously lush Augusta National.</p>
<p>You know…because he’ll be <em>camouflaged</em>.</p>

<h2>Specs, Pricing, and Availability</h2>
<p>The Camo King F9 is available now, and it does bring with it a price bump. The Special Edition will set you back $499, though one could argue that Cobra underpriced the F9 out of the gate. Cobra too must sometimes walk the fine line between affordable and cheap.</p>
<p>The Cobra Camo KING F9 Speedback driver is available now in 9° (stiff, x-stiff) and 10.5° (regular, stiff). The stock shaft is a military green version of the Project X EvenFlow Blue. The stock grip is an Arccos-enabled black Lamkin Crossline with military green accents.</p>

We’re going to start today’s story with a little group exercise.</p>
<p>Everyone who makes their living playing golf for money, raise your hands. Good, good – you guys are excused. See you next time.</p>
<p>Next, everyone who is a high performing, competitive amateur – you’re excused as well, as is anyone who’s a mid- to low-single-digit handicap or better and who practices at least three or four times a week.</p>
<p>Actually, the only people who need to stay are those of you who play golf for fun, but the fun dwindles considerably as you get closer to the green and goes away completely when you land in the sand. And if you firmly believe those who bleat “GET LESSONS” really need to get over themselves and just lighten up because not <em>everyone</em> is as avid as they are, you guys can stay too.</p>
<p>Now that we have your attention, let’s proceed to our latest release <em>du jour</em>– the new, improved, updated and expanded Callaway Sure Out 2 wedge.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116074" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4.jpg" alt="" width="1196" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4.jpg 1196w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-300x201.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-768x514.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-200x134.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-320x214.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-400x268.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-140x94.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-4-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1196px) 100vw, 1196px" /></p>
<h2>Wedge for The Common Man</h2>
<p>Golf is a game, and games are supposed to be fun, right? If you’re a weekend warrior, high handicapper or just a regular guy/gal who likes playing golf, but with a wife/husband, kids and a job that actually requires you to show up every day, you really can’t spend as much time practicing as you’d like. That’s life, and for that golfer, the sand – and the short game in general – are Five Alarm Fun-Suckers.</p>

<p>The Callaway Sure Out 2 certainly isn’t new or even unique technology (Hogan gave us the original Sure Out years ago), but the super-wide flanged wedge idea does work, as proven by a <a href="https://mygolfspy.com/nfomercial-wedge-test-mygolfspy/" rel="noopener"><strong>MyGolfSpy test a little over 16 months ago</strong></a>. Unfortunately for Callaway, the original Sure Out was the worst performing of the three specialty wedges tested, and it wasn’t close.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116073" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2-.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="696" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2-.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--300x174.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--768x445.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--200x116.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--36x21.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--72x42.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--160x93.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--320x186.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--400x232.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--140x81.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Callaway-Sure-Out-2-2--100x58.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/nfomercial-wedge-test-mygolfspy/" rel="noopener"><strong>The MyGolfSpy test</strong></a> exposed two glaring deficiencies in the Sure Out. First, despite its name, the Sure Out wasn’t – it fared no better for our testers than a traditional wedge in actually getting the ball out of the bunker. Second, the overall proximity to the hole was actually <em>worse </em>with the Sure Out than with a traditional wedge. For perspective, the other specialty wedges tested – the Cleveland SmartSole and the infomercial special C3i – both performed markedly <em>better</em> than the traditional wedge.</p>
<p>So, for the Sure Out – a wedge designed to make getting out of the sand damn near automatic <em>and </em>getting closer to the hole a piece of cake for the weekend warrior – that’s kinda not good, not to mention ironic. Clearly, there was room for improvement.</p>

<h2>Tweaks ‘n Such</h2>
<p>Callaway may not have been influenced by our test, but the company does say it acted on feedback and testing for its Sure Out 2 upgrades. First, Callaway says it has enhanced the sole radius and bounce angle and has added some heel relief – which ideally should improve sand performance and around-the-green playability. As with the original, Sure Out 2 features coast-to-coast face grooves (<em>a la</em> the PM Grind wedges) and there’s a new Lamkin Step Down grip, which features three markings to help the target golfer figure out where to place his or her hands for different distances.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116076" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip.png" alt="" width="1200" height="364" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip.png 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-300x91.png 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-768x233.png 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-200x61.png 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-36x11.png 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-72x22.png 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-160x49.png 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-320x97.png 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-400x121.png 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-140x42.png 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lamkin-Grip-100x30.png 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The original Sure Out was available in only two lofts (58<sup>o</sup>and 64<sup>o</sup>). Sure Out 2 brings more options with a 56<sup>o</sup>and a 60<sup>o</sup>added to the mix, and all lofts will be available for both righties and lefties. The shaft lineup is lightweight across the board (again, consider the target demographic), with the KBS Wedge 90 in steel and the UST Mamiya 65 and Fujikura Women’s 50 in graphite.</p>
<p>As this is the second iteration of Sure Out, it’s safe to say there’s enough of a market for this type of club to keep it current. Cleveland is on its second iteration of SmartSole (the calendar suggests a third might not be far off), and the C3i is still out there and available online, and we haven’t even discussed <em>the Alien Wedge</em>. Bottom line: it’s reasonable to presume this is now an actual product category. Obviously there’s the traditional blade-style wedge, and Cleveland has done a nice job of establishing its CBX as a Game Improvement wedge. This category, seemingly, is a Super-Duper Game Improvement wedge because, you know, an awful lot of people just play this game for fun.</p>
<p>Sure Out 2 hits the stores and Callaway’s website this Friday. It will retail at $119.99.</p>

For me, it was a set of Y2K Hogan Apex Plus irons. They didn’t have much sentimental value – I bought them on eBay for about $75. They had plenty of bag chatter, some nice wear marks right on the sweet spot and felt like a foot massage from a young Kathleen Turner. Loved the look, too, with the Hogan signature and the Sunburst logo – just the sight of them made my heart do the Rhumba.</p>
<p>I don’t know who’s holding them now, but I want them to know I still love them and miss them terribly.</p>
<p>For any old-school <em>Hoganistas </em>out there who loved the Spalding-era ’99 Apex blade or ’00 Apex Plus, you might be in for a little flashback with this week’s release of the new Hogan PTx PRO forged irons.</p>

<p>They take you back a bit, don’t they?</p>
<h2>Hello Old Friend</h2>
<p>“We spent a lot of time on the graphic presentation as much as we did the technology,” says Hogan CEO Scott White. “We wanted to get back to the Hogan history and heritage, and we wanted something people would instantly recognize as being a Ben Hogan design.”</p>
<p>The <em>new </em>new Ben Hogan Company has had a bit of a branding problem. The Ft. Worth blades, the old PTx cavity backs, and last year’s Edge game improvement irons, while all fine sticks in their own right, had no branding consistency. They’re all members of the same family but look like they all came from different fathers.</p>
<p>The new PTx PRO still doesn’t fit with the other two irons sets, but it does look enough like the Apex Plus and its Spalding/Callaway progeny Apex Edge and Apex FTX to be listed as a direct descendant on Ancestry.com.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116022" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-4-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>“If I have any criticism of our product line is there’s not a lot of consistency in how our irons look,” says White. “Going forward you’re going to see more and more products that look like and have the aesthetics of the PTx PRO.”</p>
<p>The original PTx irons were released in 2016, the last club released by Hogan before it declared bankruptcy in early 2017. Since rebooting in August of that year, the PTx has been Hogan’s best-selling iron, but three years later, it’s due for an update.</p>
<p>The obvious updates are aesthetic, but there are a couple of things under the hood that should matter to you.</p>

<h2>Co-Forged, 3-Piece</h2>
<p>If you define forged irons as an iron forged from a single piece of steel then no, the PTx PRO doesn’t qualify. That line, however, continues to be blurred by OEMs offering multi-piece heads with forged components. In that sense, Hogan isn’t breaking any new ground with the new PTx PRO’s. In fact, other than aesthetics the long irons in both the old and the new PTx irons appear to be virtually identical. Both sets’ long irons feature hollow-bodied, three-piece co-forgings, with forged 1025 carbon steel frames and forged MS300 faces. Tungsten weights are placed in the toe area to fine-tune CG, launch angles and spin.</p>
<p>The scoring irons (8-PW) are also fairly similar in construction to the original PTx irons. Like the old irons, the new PTx PRO feature the forged frame and face, with lighter titanium cores to help lower the CG, but there are slight differences.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116019" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="801" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-768x513.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-200x134.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-320x214.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-1-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>“Feedback we received from users of the original PTx was the short irons had a tendency to balloon a bit,” says White. “The new irons have titanium cores of different sizes and geometry to lower the CG, so new they’ll deliver a much more penetrating trajectory compared to the original set.”</p>
<p>Hogan calls it Linear Center of Mass Weighting, which keeps the CG as a consistent level throughout the set for consistent launch. “We had it in the original PTx irons, but we think we’ve perfected it in the PTx PRO,” says White. “You’ll get consistent mid- to higher-trajectory with the long irons and mid- to lower-trajectories with the scoring irons, which is what most accomplished players want.”</p>
<p>As was the case with last year’s updated Ft. Worth irons, Hogan has modified PTx PRO V-Sole, with a more aggressive bounce on the leading edge and a softer bounce on the trailing edge.</p>
<p>“It not only allows a good player to manipulate the clubhead for any lie, but it really reduces turf interaction,” says White.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116023" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="974" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-300x244.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-768x623.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-164x133.jpg 164w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-36x29.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-72x58.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-160x130.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-320x260.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-200x162.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-400x325.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-140x114.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-5-100x81.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h2>Specs, Pricing, and Availability</h2>
<p>We haven’t seen or tried the new PTx PRO irons yet, so there’s no practical feedback we can give. The original PTx was included in our 2017 Most Wanted Player’s Iron testing and scored very well in ball speed and carry distances, but both the long and short irons dropped off when it came to accuracy. The technical updates to the scoring irons, Linear Center of Mass Weighting and V-Sole are helpful tweaks that should address those areas, but certainly seem to be playing a supporting role to the obvious aesthetic upgrade.</p>
<p>The loft structure remains what purists would consider more or less <em>traditional</em>, and are identical to the original PTx irons, starting at a 22-degree 4-iron with four degree loft increments up to a 46-degree pitching wedge.</p>
<p>Hogan is making the PTx PRO available in 5-, 6- and 7-piece sets, depending on how long of a long iron you’d like in your bag. With Hogan’s direct-to-consumer pricing, the 7-piece set (4-PW) sells for $770.00, the 6-piece set (5-PW) sells for $690.00 and the 5-piece set (6-PW) sells for $600.00.</p>

<p>Per usual with Hogan, all loft/lie alterations and grip options are no extra charge, and there’s no upcharge for graphite shafts. Hogan’s shaft offering is quite limited: KBS Tour-V, KBS Tour 90, True Temper Dynamic Gold and UST Mamiya Recoil, which White says can fit about 99% of the golfers who call in. “We do get calls for some of the exotic and more expensive shafts, but we’re still trying to keep our cost structure under control, and we can’t inventory every shaft in the world. If we lose an order because of a shaft we don’t carry, well, I can live with that.”</p>
<p>Hogan is also introducing a new Flat Rate International shipping option. Any order over $400 can be shipped almost anywhere in the world for a $40 flat rate – not including duty or taxes (those remain the responsibility of the buyer). White does say there are a few places, such as Australia, where the flat rate is $50, but for Europe and most other parts of the world, it’s only $40.</p>
<p>The PTx PRO irons are available today on the Ben Hogan website.</p>

<h2>Filling the Bag</h2>
<p>It’s been a busy spring for Hogan. A couple of weeks ago the company released a quartet of putters – three blades and a mallet – the first Hogan putters of consequence since the Bettinardi-made lineup, again from the Spalding era.</p>
<p>“It would have been easy to just whip up some investment cast putters and stamp the Ben Hogan logo and the back and be done,” says White. “But that’s not what we wanted to do.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116030" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="698" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-300x175.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-768x447.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-200x116.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-36x21.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-72x42.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-160x93.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-320x186.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-400x233.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-140x81.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-putters-1-100x58.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The new Precision Milled Forged Putter line features the Hogan Sunburst logo on the heel of each milled face and the iconic Hogan signature on the back, but it’s the forged part that piques the curiosity. According to Hogan, the putter head itself is CNC milled, but it’s milled from a forged hunk of 1029 carbon steel as opposed to an investment cast hunk of steel.</p>
<p>“99.9% of the putters on the market right now – even some of the high-end putters – start with liquified metal that’s poured into a mold. That’s the block you start with,” says White. “We start with a piece of metal that’s been forged. The grain structure hasn’t been compromised; it’s been hammered into place.”</p>
<p>The milling process after that forging isn’t all that different from the process with a piece of cast metal. It’s all a case of what you’re starting with.”</p>
<p>White says the difference is primarily in feel, sound, and consistency. Whether there are any actual performance benefits is an open question.</p>
<p>“We don’t expect, nor do we have any ambition to challenge the market leaders,” says White. “But we know these are great performing putters for those people who are kind of tired of the same old run of the mill putter.”</p>

<h2>18-Month Health Checkup</h2>
<p>Hogan 3.0, the reorganized, factory-direct company that rose out of bankruptcy court in August of 2017, in reality, is a 20-month old virtual startup. As such, the company is intent on staying lean as it grows. The assembly and shipping team at its Fort Worth facility is small, and the company outsources many of its core functions, including finance and some R&D. It’s trying to avoid out kicking its coverage, as its immediate predecessor did.</p>
<p>“We had a great year in 2018,” says White. “The factory direct or Direct-to-Consumer model absolutely, positively works. More people are visiting our website and placing orders, so they understand they can buy premium equipment without retail markup.”</p>
<p>And while you can’t go into a store and demo anything Hogan, you can try its <a href="https://benhogangolf.com/collections/demo-clubs-program" rel="noopener"><strong>14-day Demo Program</strong></a>: for $20 you can demo a 2-club set for two weeks (<a href="https://benhogangolf.com/collections/demo-program-europe" rel="noopener"><strong>$30 if you’re in Europe</strong></a>). Startups such as New Level and Sub70 offer similar programs, as does Bridgestone. While it’s not the same as whacking a handful of shots into a simulator while shopping for balls and tees, you do get to try the clubs on the course for a couple of weeks. Hogan says over 70% of the people who try product via the Demo Program wind up buying.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116027" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="801" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-768x513.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-200x134.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-320x214.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hogan-PTx-Pro-9-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>And Hogan isn’t done this spring. White says you can expect a specific progressive/combo iron set sooner rather than later. Instead of cobbling existing irons into a hodgepodge, White says the combo set will be specifically designed as a unified irons package. You’ll see other additions as well – again sooner rather than later – but the company is keeping mum about what those might be.</p>
<p>“I think going forward you’re going to see more and more products that look like and have the aesthetics of the PTx Pro,” says White.</p>

Immediately, gear heads began to pontificate as to which clubs the Big Cat would bag – knowing the driver and metalwoods would likely be a quicker and easier transition, with the wedges and irons lagging behind. TaylorMade indicated as much stating its engineers would be working directly with Tiger to compose a “new and personalized iron model” down the road.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116049" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw2-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The first glimpse came in the form of TW-Phase 1, a set of irons Tiger used for much of the second half of the 2018 season after recuperating from yet another back surgery, which again brought his competitive golfing future into question. Admittedly, TW-Phase 1 didn’t look altogether different from the various muscle-back irons Tiger had played throughout his career. This included a combo set of Mizuno MP-14/MP-29 he used an amateur, which became the foundation for the 681 “T” blades he used to achieve the <em>Tiger Slam</em> of 2000 while on staff with Titleist. Tiger moved to Nike’s MB irons in 2002 and for the next decade-and-a-half, give or take, each version looked to the casual observer pretty much like the previous one.</p>
<p>After all, a blade is a blade is a blade, right?</p>
<p>Sort of. With that, TaylorMade is making available to the public a limited number of P-7TW (keeping the P7-something naming convention) irons which are the same irons as those in Tiger’s bag, save for a few small details (lie angle and shaft).</p>

<p>Tiger is notoriously picky about his equipment, exhibiting a refined sense of feel largely unparalleled, even within the professional ranks. Most people can tell if they don’t put socks on correctly. Tiger can tell if a pair is missing a couple of threads. To take a mediocre analogy a step further, to say TW is picky about his equipment is like saying I’m fond of hot tubs and ice cream.</p>
<p>Between the TW-Phase 1 and P-7TW TaylorMade engineers worked through nine different rough drafts before landing on a final edition with everything dialed in precisely to Tiger’s liking. The head is forged from 1025 carbon steel, but TaylorMade is showcasing fully milled soles (the first time TaylorMade is using this application on something other than a wedge) to produce the precise turf interaction Tiger desires. Tiger changes iron sets twice a year, and the milling process removes the need for Tiger to hit hundreds upon thousands of golf balls to find a set that’s <i>right</i>. For a guy with a fused back and multiple surgeries, any reduction in superfluous wear and tear is a good thing.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116047" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmtw5-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The chief benefit of milled grinds is, because a CNC machine (and not a human) is doing the work, the milling processes (which take about one hour per head) are exact; generating the same grind over and over to precise tolerances, with variances so minuscule it’s likely beyond what even Tiger can discern.</p>
<p>Compared to the P730, the heel-toe length on the P-7TW is a hint longer, and some irons have a shorter hosel length (PW is 3 mm shorter). Additionally, the CG location (courtesy of tungsten slugs) moves toe-ward in the short irons. With Tiger, CG manipulation isn’t strictly to optimize generally accepted performance parameters– it’s about getting each iron to launch through a precise window with an ideal trajectory and spin. Additionally, Tiger likes to generate more spin on iron shots (part of why he uses Bridgestone’s Tour B XS ball), so the grooves are narrower and more aggressive than typical TaylorMade mass market irons.</p>

<p>Other notable, Tiger-specific attributes are fixed offset amounts (4,5 and 6 irons have the same offset as do the 7, 8 and 9 irons) and larger print numbers on each club. The former again has to do with dialing in trajectory, feel, and individual performance while the latter is simply so as not to pull the wrong club in high-pressure tournament scenarios. Tiger’s actual gamers do have flatter lie angles and more loft than the retail version, though loft and lie are easily adjusted if buyers want the full Tiger experience.</p>

<p>The P-7TW irons are further validation that we might be seeing consumer’s preference for high-end equipment shift from handmade, individual one-off pieces to CAD designed, CNC milled equipment. The machines have certain advantages – namely precision, replication, and scalability which, when it comes to golf equipment, is a comparative advantage. No doubt it’s why Cameron replaced the 009 putter with the 009M and why PXG’s line of fully-milled wedges set a new standard for wedge production – and it’s not as if either has decreased in popularity or cost.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, the P-7TW is a limited edition set of clubs built for arguably the best player to ever tee it up. Ostensibly, it’s a set of irons most of the golfing world has no business playing – but that’s the point. These are Tiger’s clubs and the novelty of owning (and possibly playing) <em>his</em> clubs is more than enough reason TaylorMade is likely to sell as many sets of irons as it’s willing to produce.</p>

<p>First prize is a fully customized set of <a href="http://www.wilson.com/en-us/golf/irons?CMPID=Google-wilson-golf_sb_g_general_branded-category_exact-wilson%20golf-e-c-187320430753-&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInvD-osCQ2gIVVrjACh1IyQogEAAYASABEgL38_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds"><strong>Wilson Staff irons</strong></a> – anything from the all-new long and forgiving D7’s and C300’s to the C300 Forged and 2017 Most Wanted Players Iron, the FG Tour V6. It’s your choice.</p>

<h2>Call Me Intrigued!</h2>
<p>The contest is pretty simple to enter. You pick a 4-person team, and if your team combines to win to the most total prize money, you win too. As we said, 1st prize is a full set of Wilson Staff irons custom built to your specs, 2nd prize is a <a href="https://mygolfspy.com/2019-wilson-staff-d7-metal-woods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Wilson D7 driver</strong></a>, and 3rd prize is a dozen Wilson DUO golf balls (<a href="https://mygolfspy.com/first-look-wilson-golf-duo-professional/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Professional</strong></a>, <a href="https://mygolfspy.com/first-look-wilson-staffs-new-duo-soft-duo-soft-spin-balls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Soft or Soft Spin</strong></a> – your choice of color).</p>
<p>And this is only the beginning. We’ll be doing the same thing all over again for the U.S. Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA. Wilson Staff has won 61 of these things, you know, but hasn’t seen the winner’s circle at Augusta since ’93 with Bernhard Langer. Could Gary Woodland break through this year? Can’t wait to find out!</p>

Officially, the Concept platform provided an avenue for the typically reserved Titleist to explore cutting edge – perhaps even radical – designs and materials without the cost constraints placed on clubs intended for the mass market. Unofficially, PXG tapped into a market few in the industry new existed and its emergence in the previously untapped ultra-premium space, was eating into the bottom lines of mass market competitors who lacked a commensurate offering. Given that Titleist was largely regarded as the most premium of the mainstream, it’s reasonable to assume its sales took the biggest hit.</p>
<p>With that, Titleist produced a small quantity (1500 drivers and 1000 sets of irons) of Concept product as a litmus test to see whether this approach had any merit. Understandably, there was measurable uncertainty as to how the C16 driver and irons would be received given that PXG’s short-term success didn’t provide much of a sample set.</p>
<p>Niche products don’t always follow general market trends, and frankly, sales forecasts are entirely unpredictable because products target only a small segment of the population whose buying habits are often quirky and can change without obvious explanation.</p>

<p>Limited quantities and elevated prices ($375/iron and $1000 for the driver) didn’t dissuade potential buyers. Most Concept product was spoken for before the general golfing population even knew it existed. Long story short, Titleist’s first small batch release fared better than even the most optimistic of internal expectations and served as validation that a conceptual line of equipment was viable (and profitable), even if ongoing research, development, and release cadence would be less predictable than mainstream offerings.</p>
<p>For 2019 (and beyond), Titleist is introducing <em>CNCPT by Titleist</em> as a formal brand-within-a-brand designation for equipment which it describes as … an idea, a promise. “It’s our answer to ‘What if?’, ” says Kelley Moser Jr., Brand Manager, CNCPT Clubs. The space following the <em>What If</em> proposition is an open-ended invitation to explore materials and processes which are typically cost prohibitive and thus more often used in pursuits where higher grade materials and production costs (aerospace) are an absolute necessity.</p>

<h2>CNCPT CP-01 and CP-02</h2>
<p>More expensive materials don’t guarantee better performance, but with the CP-01 and CP-02 (I was secretly hoping for a C3PO gold-plated version) Titleist believes it has created “the finest irons a golfer has ever played.” <em>Finest</em> is a subjective term, therefore, hard to dispute, but considering the standard criteria for irons (distance, forgiveness, looks, sound/feel, consistency) my hunch is the CP-01 and CP-02 work to limit the trade-offs inherent in most iron designs. The CP-01 is positioned as a supremely fast players-distance iron, whereas the CP-02 is a best-of-both-worlds classic muscle-back shape with game-improvement forgiveness – and yes, it’s also fast.</p>
<p>A trend in MyGolfSpy’s Most Wanted iron testing is that the best-performing irons aren’t typically the longest. Distance sells, but it doesn’t always correlate with lower scores. Often, maximum distance comes at the expense of distance control (front-back dispersion) and stopping power (the ability to land a ball on a green and keep it there). Titleist claims that by using a <i>Super Metal L Face</i>, which it bills as <i>the thinnest unsupported, constant-thickness face in golf,</i> it can produce ball speeds <span style="background-color: #f5f6f5;">previously unseen</span><span style="background-color: #f5f6f5;"> </span>from an iron. For now, Titleist isn’t, however, saying what exact flavor of alloy <em>Super Metal</em> is. It’s a stance similar to that which PXG has taken with COR2, the material which replaced TPE in its GEN2 irons. The idea is to keep the finer details under wraps for as long as possible to prevent copycats. This is, however, the golf equipment industry, so it stands to reason that if Super Metal works as advertised, it won’t be long before it goes to work for Titleist’s competitors.</p>

<p>What we do know is that CNCPT series irons will set you back $500/head. Titleist says the Super Metal material is expensive and buyers are required to purchase it in bulk. Even if we assume for a moment that the CP-01 and CP-02 are legitimately faster than anything else out there, we must acknowledge that <em>engineering</em> an iron to go farther isn’t necessarily groundbreaking work. Manufacturers have been strengthening lofts for the better part of the last decade in order to achieve more distance. Can CNCPT deliver on the distance promise without compromising the elements of the launch, spin, and descent angle equation required of a truly playable iron?</p>
<p>If it can’t then what’s the point?</p>
<p><a href="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115935" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CP02-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a></p>
<p>To that end, to prevent increased distance from becoming a liability for CNCPT, Titleist is using what it describes as <em>extraordinary amounts</em> of high-density tungsten to push MOI (forgiveness) to perhaps uncharted territory. Specifically, the CP-01 averages over 100 grams of high-density tungsten and the CP-02 uses slightly more at 110 grams. Whatever else you choose to believe about CNCPT from a performance perspective, understand that we’re talking about a legitimately massive amount of Tungsten. That allows Titleist to place significantly more than the typical amount of mass low and deep in the clubhead, which should help produce launch conditions significantly higher than CNCPT’s otherwise jacked lofts would suggest. From that, you just might get the stopping power that’s an integral component of Titleist’s mainstream iron offerings.</p>

<p>The MyGolfSpy staff had a chance to demo the new irons at the PGA Show Demo day, and while we didn’t have the launch monitor running to verify what we saw (or what we think we saw), sufficed to say low bullets weren’t an issue.</p>

<p>On paper, the CNCPT irons are positioned to sit in rarified air in terms of price ($500/head), performance, and availability. That said, other than a dedicated CNCPT concierge which can be reached at CNCPT@acushnetgolf.com or 1.833.99.CNCPT, we don’t yet know how many of each model Titleist is producing or the specific distribution model. As that information becomes available, we will update accordingly.</p>
<p>Given the price point and the audience, big box distribution isn’t going to happen. One would rationally expect this to be a 100% custom fit offering. In fact, Titleist has gone so far as to say that if any of its PGA Tour staff wants to play CNCPT, they’re going to have to buy them. I suspect that’s more of a braggadocious talking point than anything else as there’s unlikely to be much Tour demand for an iron set that one highly ranked tour player not on Titleist’s staff reportedly carried 250 after Butch Harmon put a CNCPT 7-iron in his hands.</p>
<p>There was a time when $4000 for a set of irons was a ridiculous proposition and no doubt, there will be comments lamenting the price point as everything wrong with the golf equipment industry. There’s nothing inherently misguided about expensive items, but it’s fair to wonder what impact releases such as CNCPT have on the mainstream golf industry. There’s an argument the net result is upward pricing pressure on mass-market equipment, but innovation has to come from somewhere and if engineering quests like CNCPT help to drive new thinking while discovering new technologies, it’s all good, right?</p>

Considering price, performance, and longevity, it has arguably the most complete lineup of metalwoods on the market. Last year, the CBX fairway wood beat out the big names to assume the title of overall winner and this year, the EXS driver was declared the “Best Value.”</p>
<p>Let’s start with a common definition. The value in this context is a function of performance per dollar spent and is what <strong><a href="https://www.touredge.com/#" rel="noopener">Tour Edge</a></strong> wants consumers to consider with the “Pound for Pound Nothing Else Comes Close” tagline. As such, the primary question isn’t how did Tour Edge create a driver which had both a positive-strokes gained value (meaning, overall performance was as good if not slightly better than the average of the 24 drivers tested) and ranked in the upper-half for total distance – it’s how did it do that and come to market at $299 – and of equal importance, why did it need to?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115566" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/exs_12x8-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>There was a time, not long ago, when OEMs relied on a two-driver approach to satisfy the range of potential buyers. A higher priced flagship model alongside a more budget-friendly offering allowed companies to showcase both its best technology and a scaled-back version, without alienating the more price conscious golfer. For example, TaylorMade had its R-series (R7, R9, R11) to cover the top-end and paired it with a less expensive Burner, Burner SuperFast or RocketBallz option. Similarly, Callaway’s Xhot (2013) at $299 and Razr Fit Extreme at $399 served as its one-two punch.</p>
<p>Eventually, the $300 driver became $340 and then $380 before finally going the way of “YOLO” and the landline. In 2019 there’s still a little price separation at the top (e.g., TaylorMade M5/M6), but as OEMs climbed the price ladder and moved away from tiered pricing, there was a near uniform absence of a $300 driver for the mass market.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.touredge.com/#" rel="noopener">Tour Edge</a></strong> established a cult following with fairway woods in the mid-2000s, in part because it used more exotic materials (titanium faces) and more expensive manufacturing processes (combo brazing). Numerous tour players bagged Tour Edge fairway metals without any compensation, adding to the lore of the admittedly niche company. Brandt Snedeker used a CB4 model en route to winning the FedEx Cup and Tour Championship in 2012. Matt Kuchar, JB Holmes, Luke Donald, and Brian Gay all put Exotics by Tour Edge clubs in play, winning a combined ten times on the PGA Tour and making several Ryder Cup appearances.</p>
<p>Though its drivers have historically offered solid performance, Tour Edge struggled to gain any meaningful ground (retail market share) with drivers priced at or near the mainline brands. So, while it could have built a $450-$500 driver and continued to bang its head against the wall of insanity over and over, it made more sense to try and win at $300 rather than fight for table scraps against Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Cobra, and TaylorMade.</p>
<p>Price is at least half of the conversation when it comes to assessing how much <em>value</em> a product offers and by going with a $299 price point, Tour Edge suggests there are two primary buyers in the market. The first group is roughly 2 million in size and is a combination of <em>early adopters</em> (not price sensitive and tend to pre-order) and those who accept that driver prices have stagnated for some time and a price jump was overdue. OEMs are eager to capture as much of this pocket of golfers as possible because in part it signals to the rest of the market that whatever the new tech story is, it’s effective and worth purchasing.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115756" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-9-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The other 4 million or so are, according to Tour Edge, core golfers (15 HCP or less) who flat out won’t fork over $500+ for the latest and greatest, but still want a full buffet of technology and innovation – or at least as much as the can get for a couple hundred bucks less than the other guys. Citing statistics gathered from the 2019 MyGolfSpy Most Wanted driver test, taking retail cost and dividing it by average total distance, the EXS came out to $.78/yard. Drivers in the $450-$550 range had a cost per yard of $1.89-$2.20. It’s another way to try and quantify value, and while it’s not an all-encompassing statistic, it does give some indication as to the type of information which speaks to this core group of consumers. The takeaway here is while OEMs continue crafting an angle to sell consumers distance (Flash Face, Screw Face, Milled Face) a yard here or there on the course can be accompanied by a significant price hike. Take a couple of long steps across your living room and ask yourself this question: Is that space between worth $100? $200? $250?</p>
<p>It’s a fair question even if it’s born from an unconventional metric.</p>
<p>All of this is to say Tour Edge believes there’s a slew of ready and willing buyers who will eschew the category leaders who, by following PXG and others up the price ladder, left a significant void in the market – one which Tour Edge is more than happy to exploit.</p>
<h2>WHY $299?</h2>
<p>Consider Tour Edge’s conundrum. Option 1 – Play follow the leader and jump into the already crowded $500 market competing against companies with far greater market share, tour presence, and advertising budgets. Or option 2, follow the advice of baseball Hall-of-Famer, Wee Willie Keeler and “hit ‘em where they ain’t.”</p>
<p>TaylorMade ($550), Titleist ($500), Callaway ($530), Ping ($500), Cobra ($450) and Wilson ($500) all essentially target a similar buyer. At $400, Mizuno’s ST190 is a solid performer, and thanks to Keith Mitchell, it too can claim a win on the PGA Tour this season.</p>
<p>That said, at $299, the <strong><a href="https://www.touredge.com/products/exsdriver.asp" rel="noopener">Tour Edge EXS</a></strong> enjoys a price-point monopoly. There isn’t another 2019 driver that offers the combination of performance and price within a $100 and yet, the question persists – how did Tour Edge get here?</p>
<p>The Cliff’s Notes version is it built a $400 driver and sold it for $300. It’s a great strategy and all, but as a standalone product, the math doesn’t add up. The stock shaft is Mitsubishi’s Tensei CK Blue (retails aftermarket at $130) and the tech story reads much like that of drivers priced several hundred dollars more: carbon composite crown, adjustable weighting, variable face thickness and a slip-stream sole for enhanced aerodynamics. Given the costs of production and an out-the-door price of $299, it doesn’t offer much in the way of profit for retailers or Tour Edge.</p>
<p>Golf retailers generally operate on thin margins to begin with, so Tour Edge first had to convince its major accounts that the pricing made sense. Regardless of cost, a product that doesn’t sell isn’t good for OEMs or retailers. To that end, Tour Edge painted a similar picture (albeit with likelier fancier graphics) showing evidence of that critical mass of golfers who, at least on paper, would flock to the EXS once it became clear just how much latent value it offers.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115754" src="https://mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" srcset="//mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1.jpg 1200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-300x200.jpg 300w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-768x512.jpg 768w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-200x133.jpg 200w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-36x24.jpg 36w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-72x48.jpg 72w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-160x107.jpg 160w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-320x213.jpg 320w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-400x267.jpg 400w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-140x93.jpg 140w, //mygolfspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ST-5-1-100x67.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Additionally, by differentiating to such a degree based on price, it simplifies the conversation in terms of what makes the EXS driver unique from higher priced options (the primary talking point is <em>same performance, much lower price</em>) and according to Tour Edge’s research, a $299 driver from Tour Edge wouldn’t cannibalize sales of market leaders Callaway and TaylorMade because each is ultimately selling to a different golfer.</p>
<p>So, Tour Edge is treating the EXS as a bit of a loss-leader (not hugely different than the gallon of milk which goes on sale to get you in the grocery store). It’s taking a substantial hit on upfront margins on an admittedly underpriced driver with the hope that it will pull consumers into the brand and lead to additional sales of fairway woods and hybrids. Thus far, EXS driver per unit sales have outpaced any other Tour Edge driver release. That’s to be expected at $299, but ancillary sales seem to imply the strategy is working as fairway woods and hybrids have experienced a fortuitous early-season bump as well.</p>
<p>But this price point isn’t without risk and Tour Edge is aware that at $299 some consumers will feel it’s sending a mixed message as it rides the exceedingly fine line between <em>affordable</em> and <em>cheap</em>. It’s a departure for Tour Edge which has generally maintained premium pricing with its Exotics line of clubs. Prior to dropping the price by $50, the CBX and CBX T3 fairway woods retailed at $349. Even so, the current CBX 119 sits at the $299 – the same price as the <strong><a href="https://www.touredge.com/products/exsdriver.asp" rel="noopener">EXS driver</a></strong>.</p>
<p>For now, there’s roughly a $200 chasm between Tour Edge’s first-class driver and the going industry rate of $550+. So how will Tour Edge maintain class-leading value while avoiding the pitfalls associated with most inexpensive products? Tour Edge founder, David Glod, likes to say, “The proof is in the hit” and so long as Tour Edge can get in the fitting conversation at the major retailers, Glod is confident that the results will speak for themselves and ultimately ring the register in Tour Edge’s favor. The hope is this will create a grassroots, word-of-mouth, marketing campaign which keeps Tour Edge on the low-end of the mainstream rather than the top-end of economical also-rans.</p>

<h2>TOUR VALIDATION</h2>
<p>At the professional level, the EXS has been well received with no fewer than six PGA Tour Champions players putting it in play this season. The tour made up of players 50+ years old provides a compelling look at what the EXS has to offer at a level where there’s still plenty of prize money on the table. Because equipment sponsorships aren’t nearly as lucrative – and thus, players aren’t as pressured to have the latest model in play, there’s plenty of bags with equipment several generations old. Such was the case for Duffy Waldorf and his 2016 TaylorMade M2 driver. Some players are notorious tinkerers, while others wait for a club to break before thinking about replacing it, but there’s little incentive to make a switch unless there’s a clear and undeniable benefit. Waldorf wasn’t in the market for a new driver, but he already bagged Tour Edge’s CBX 119 fairway and hybrid, so more as a “hey, why not” he put the EXS through the paces. The data was clear. The EXS gave Waldorf seven additional yards of carry and more consistent ball speeds and launch conditions. The switch was a no-brainer, and as is the case for tour players, cost never factored into the decision.</p>

<p>Tour Edge isn’t making any distance claims or trying to sell consumers on wonky physics or recycled engineering terms, but there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that in a year where just about every OEM turned up prices and churned out compelling stories on face technology and faster ball speeds, Tour Edge may have done more for the average consumer than any other OEM.</p>

<p>The backstory here is largely timing driven. 64° wedges tend to get a little extra love (and play) at Augusta where the greens are always fast and often elevated. The 64T is designed to provide the necessary height and trajectory while retaining enough bounce (6°) to be playable out of the bunkers.</p>
<p>As a quick refresher, Vokey’s T Grind features enhanced heel, toe, and trailing edge relief, and as you’d expect, is designed for versatility around the greens.</p>

<p>And not for nuthin’, the Slate Blue finish is downright tasty, and damn near worth the price of admission on its own.</p>
<p>The stock shaft is a Dynamic Gold S200. The stock grip is a Vokey Golf Pride Multi-Compound Blue.</p>
