    Nah it’s Stiff flex.   The red is just a higher launch but the TR keeps it halfway to the Ventus blue as opposed to full red.   

    However I do qualify for aarp so that SS flex w/ the whip could be just around the corner.   Hahaha

    Well there will now be a reason why I will not be buying any Penzeys.   It is not because of their spices at all, rather a company using their prowess to promote politics (one way or another).   Don't read too much into this because I do not buy anything "My Pillow" nor "Ben and Jerry's" (and a many others).

    Leave politics out and just make good products and I'll be in.

    Just my thoughts...
    I don’t agree with his politics, I don’t agree with Trump supporters either.

    What I do appreciate is his openness about it and his willingness to stick to it and say it proudly.  I prefer that instead of the alternative, they hide their feels then funnel all the money to a SuperPac behind closed doors.

    Hahaha, I get that.   I’ve never done a demo day where all groups were out there with Trackman to do a true test.   I’m a dumb loyalist (in this case fujikira) and not a numbers geek when it comes to this stuff.   I just do a little homework and hope what I math translates.

    For the most part it’s there. I don’t have a slice as much as a right push at the very end. I won’t call it a fade cus it starts off straight. My score tends to accumulate where it counts most, on the greens

    Get fit for a custom putter and you’ll shave far more strokes off of your score than by using a custom driver.

    That’s in the works as well. Doesn’t help that I play the hardest greens in my area. They’re fast. Tremendous breaks and show no mercy.

    You’ll be blown away with a custom putter. I used to ask myself why a touring professional chose a particular putter over another style. I learned about aim bias and putter styles and now I know. I went through a two hour Edel fitting process and would have written the guy a blank check when I was done.
