sdandrea1 Besides, if you had a barrel full of free demo clubs at your disposal, what would you do?

I've had barrels of demo clubs at my disposal, for over 30 years. I can remember demoing 2, a Tommy Armour Hot Scott driver and Titleist 983k, that's it. I bought both. Now the demo barrels are in my garage and computer room. 😁

    sdandrea1 The Prime is OMG.

    You hit the Prime 9 driver if I recall correctly. How does that one and the new Prime compare? Any worth while difference?

        I'd say no. Every Prime diver I've tested are basically 36g shafted, 46.5" length and draw biased face angles. Same sound, feel, flight.

          Hey, latest tech at premium prices is not for me! I am not that good, so I go back a few years when I change.

          What I prefer to do is go back for 3-5 year-old stuff that has proven to work. That way, if I do not like it, no big $ risk.

          Case in point: tried Callaway Apex CF16 irons a few years ago @ club demo day. Liked them & filed info away. Last year, my Bridgestone J38s with steel shafts were losing mojo so, looked for & got deal on those Apex CF16 irons used (<$200 for 5-PW in Recoil Graphite, plus new grips).

          Same with XXIO Driver & hybrids--the 9-series (circa 2016) is fine for me for a couple years...total investment <$500 for these three clubs. If I find something better down the line, wait year or so & make switch---new XXIOs--no way!

          (Anyone have a 5-6 year-old driver in R-flex worthy of trying for backup/guest bag?)

          If I buy XXIO stuff, it's gonna be used, for sure.

            Played the XXIO Prime 11 irons again today but added the Prime 11 6 hybrid. It's 26 degree loft and with that shaft is a MONSTER launcher.
