2025 WITB
toraider The Ai Smoke driver is very forgiving. I think my Rogue ST Max actually had a bit more pop or maybe just a lower ballflight where I got some more runout, but the Smoke is just a bit more forgiving. Honestly I don't think the "upgrade" was necessary though.
The Smoke 5w is a rocket launcher, but it's definitely draw biased, very shallow face and I would say forgiveness is very good, but not great. The Mavrik max 3 wood is more forgiving I think as it's much larger. I tried to find a Mavrik Max 5w, but didn't see anything and got a nice deal on the Smoke 5w from CPO. I would like to get the same model shaft from the 3w into the 5w.
Gotta think that there are many more folks we need to hear from...
Papa D probably needs to post his interim weekly update as well.

VigilanteTrail would take a PING to kick this putter out of my bag.
Fixed my previous post…
…Papa D should approve
As much as I love PING stuff, I can't find ANYTHING to kick the Odyssey VLine out.
sdandrea1 Is the new Fetch you bought already gone?
