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.

    toraider AI Smoke woods,

    If you'd like to save some cash, just go with the Paradym woods. I've used both and find them to be very much similar in flight & forgiveness + distances. And no blue.😉 Well, they do have very dark blue, but it does not stand out.

      Eguller Very nice bag. As Carl’s Golfland would say
      “ No more excuses”. 😎

      I've always had good clubs and poor excuses 😞

        azgreg Steve's bag would change twice before he has a chance to hit the enter key on his post.

            sdandrea1 have you tried a logicalone putter?? I have found out I prefer a heavier putter, and a face that doesn't have an insert. I just couldn't for the life of me get my odyssey to be consistent on distance control.

                sdandrea1 I can't find ANYTHING to kick the Odyssey VLine out.

                We’ll see how long this honeymoon will last with the Ping…after all…it IS a putter…😆🤣
