Love my SMS standard/ SMS Pro combo! The long irons are the most accurate and consistent ones I have ever had. I have all of the heavy weights in the center except the 7 iron. I have the heavy weight in the toe of the 7 iron only. Strangely, it is only one club that is different but it drastically improved strike.
Nice clubs there. I just hope that you can hit them dead on the screws and I hope that they are not xtra stiff flex shaft in those irons because again for sure you won't be able to play with those. Other than that cool vlog. 😎
Excellent review, I have played PX 6.0 and 6.5 in my irons for a few years but following some wrist injuries am looking to experiment with graphite and the Dart V is one shaft that I am keen to test out, so would you suggest the 105 X or 120 X as I wouldn't mind dropping a little weight if the stiffness and stability of PX remains, also I have always thought the Mizar Tour irons look great with virtually no offset (especially at address) from pictures I have seen online so in terms of size what would be an equivalent sized Titleist / TaylorMade iron?
Hey man, I'm looking for a good stability shaft in black that is a good introduction into stability shafts that isn't crazy price. Can you just suggest something I can try out
I just got my DF3 and I can't stand the grip. I am switching to the new golf pride tapered ones. That is what I had on my previous putter and I absolutely loved it.
My favorite clubs of all time are the Wilson Staff fat shaft irons. I said this in another comment section that even though Wilson isnt as popular as previous years i honestly believe they are better than most other brands. People should try them
I have an SM5 L grind….seems to be knowledgeable, not sure if he’s just gotta put out content to pay the bills or if titleist requires these since they sponsor the show. You could get an SM9 in L grind for a lot less than a wedge works SM10
nope, your right. The T started out as a wedgeworks option for SM8, again for SM9, then became the standard low bounce option for SM10. Now, L grind is the wedgeworks only option. I think they made the right call. L grind was a strange low bounce option - has a lot of forward bounce and very little trail edge relief. Sole is narrow, but it has this strange way of playing super low bounce, right up to the point where you open the face wide and the leading edge comes WAY up. M grind much easier to hit than L, T grind much more versatile than L.
We have 2 bags of Adams blues clubs at my house, even now in 2024 these 2015 clubs are great. I have more modern drivers but still drive and play well, Looking forward to getting a complete bag of these new Ideas.
I now have about 9 rounds on this new shaft (and I have a heavier VC+ in my fairway wood). ZERO difference, no changes that are humanly perceptible in any way. Not tighter, not stiffer, not faster, just a different paint job (I prefer the older navy blue). I didn't see any difference on launch monitor either. Played this 2024 Ventus VC+ since it came out, and I'm coming from the previous Ventus VC Blue. But if you are a gear obsessive person and the manufacturer tells you there are changes and improvements, you'll think you sense those attributes.
Ventus is obviously going to be a more premium and stable shaft. It will launch lower, spin less and be more fade bias, so depends if that is what your looking for
How’s the mishits on the 💎💎💎 max compared to TD? Mainly on slight toe misses cause on my TD, slight toe misses don’t gear at all and just go straight right instead of drawing back. Not a fault just gotta adjust for it
I wonder if it sort of like the Rogue ST Max LS, which I thought was easier to hit than the TD of that year and worked better for me than the Regular Rogue ST Max
I play the ST Max LS and it’s so forgiving and the ball launches on it. Wonder if it’s worth the upgrade to the AI smoke. Do you think in your opinion there’s a big enough jump to justify the $$ between the two? I get tech improves but I always hesitate because ST Max LS isn’t even that old yet and it’s working fine. You know us golfers…always tinkering and looking 😂
@@andrewreis4049 I am with you, I still Like my ST MAX LS, but want to try other drivers. 😁 However, back fusion surgery has slowed that thought down for a while.
My experience with the Rogue LS is that it is not easier to hit than the AI smoke TD. This last one is longer and easy to hit. Wonder how great the TD Max for my 94mph swing will be….
I am currently a 6 handicap and I put these wedges into my bag about 6 months ago. We spend money on irons, drivers, hybrids, fairway woods, and putters that are more forgiving. So why not use a more forgiving set of wedges? They are after all called "scoring clubs". With this in mind I decided to test these out and what I found was that these wedges should be called "Distance dispersion killers". Meaning that if you hit these clubs to a set yardage - if you mishit them you won't lose as much distance -and that's the difference between hitting the green or landing in a bunker or worse yet - water. I personally think this is the best bang for you $$$'s as far as helping your game. While it's true that the lob wedge could be a little more versatile - (open it up more) most golfer (85% don't need it) for me I just ground down and added a little more relief so I can open up the lob wedge abit more and reduce the height of the leading edge. best wedge more about 85% of all golfers.
What's your swing speed or clubhead speed in order to swing a X flex because you have to swing faster than 110+ in order to take full advantage of that shaft and sorry to say this but I really don't think that you swing that fast to play that buddy. You might want to reconsider that shaft.
I am in the 103mph range at my older age. I agree that if you look at swing speed as the only variable that I don't need an X Stiff shaft. I have done multiple fittings and get put into X Stiff as it helps take away my heavy draw/hook that my swing creates. I will happily sacrifice a few yards in distance to hit it straighter.
Hey GolfWRX Radio, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
It depends on the player. GD recommends 1/2" and the shaft plays stout, so that isn't a bad place to start. If you feel like it is a little loose in driver or another club then maybe go 3/4"
You should try them in Srixon ZX5 MKii iron heads. I play the 780 ES SmacWrap in that thead in stiff in a lighter weight. How do you compare them to Axioms? Axioms feel really stiff to me.
Needing to make a switch to graphite (wrist fracture and nerve issues). Coming from Modus 115x (ss1) in Mizzy 225. Looking to add some spin overall. Had a demo New Level 480-TC in Steelfiber 110 S and don’t mind it, but notice is swingweight is light (D1.5) compared to the 225 (D3.3). Have you felt any adjustment period in lighter SW? I’m curious about SF, MMT, and Dart Vs in a players can/distance.
I usually play my clubs at a lighter swing weight anny way, around D2 wedges D3&4, so a D1 doesn't effect me at all. But there could be a little range time needed to get them dialed in. For me the MMT launched the lowest, then Dart V, then Steelfiber
I think if you are sticking with the right flex for you, probably stiff, then it comes down to weight preference. Heavier can launch and spin a touch less, but nothing crazy
How would you rank all the graphite shafts you've tried from most dampening to least dampening for mishits? Swinging about the same speed as you and been fighting tendinitis. Wanna go to graphite and want to prioritize a shaft that'll dampen mishits over anything
To me I feel like the KBS PGI might dampen the most, Fujikura Pro, Mitsubishi MMT, LA Golf A Series, VA Composites Synyster, Steelfiber, UST Dart V, Fujikura Axiom
@knudson81: What's that Blue-and-Orange grip (near your right-hand-side) ... University of Florida? Details pls. Enjoy your podcast, deserves more views!
