Typhoon You said “spin must be lower”… but you have no way qualitative information to prove it, It’s your guess…. That’s what I mean. Guessing is digging in the dirt.

That's how I roll John. I enjoy playing golf and experimenting with clubs. I have fun with my buds/family, shoot the best I can with what's in the bag that day. Don't care what my launch monitor #s are. They are of no consequence to me. If you think they're important to you, then go for it. I'm not putting it down. I'm just not interested. No need to push it on me or sell it. I'm not buying.

      sdandrea1 I know you like trying everything, it just made me roll my eyes when you said “it must be spin” but you don’t actually care to know. It also could have been a loose spike on your left golf shoe😁.

        I forgot to mention sound/feel on the Air X. It's a little tinny but not annoying.

        I like your club reviews. It is content for the Last Tee blog

        papaD's Gold List. Like Golf Digest. Only different...

        I’ve bought my last 2 drivers based (at least partially) on reviews by Steve. Have been very happy with both. 👍

        I'll keep going. Just have to deal with the you-a-ho-never-gonna-keep-it-you'll-sell-it-in-2-hours ball-busting, I guess.

        If you ain't a HO then how would you know?

        I say " If you don't know, how would you know better?"

        The G425 irons have 3 rounds on them now. Shafts are just right for this geezer. The heads are very clicky sounding but feel is good. Height is great and my shots hold the greens here in VA. Chipping with the 7i is still a work in progress for distance judging. These are very much like my old G400 irons. 9i and UW are my favorite clubs so far. Very nice look at address with thin top line and mid-width sole hidden. These are way more forgiving than they look. Too bad they're not blue.

        DonM I think one of these sooper ultra light drivers will be the only way I pick up any more yards. I am looking forward to demo-ing some.

        I agree with Steve's post about Honma. I purchased his Honma XP-1 very light shaft probably the easiest to hit driver I have used in a long time at 45.25" playing length. I will do a full report after a few more times usage.

            I have to agree with you on the launch monitor...At my age - 75 - I just go out to enjoy myself and be with my friends. The day's play will be what it will be...Some days play in the 70's, other days, more like high 80's. It's what the body and swing have for that day...I will always hunt for the Holy Grail for each club - I enjoy the chase...As for launch monitors and lessons, I'm not interested - more fun to tinker and cheaper...

              From what I see on the Honma XP-1 it's mostly the head, the shaft fits me well also but it's mostly the head. Hot head and a lot of forgiveness.

              Does Honma XP-1 sit square at address? I tend to dislike clubs that sit open/point right at address. Is the weight removable/changeable? I would like to shorten and be able to add weight.

                It has an adjustable adapter. The design of the adapter allows the spine of the shaft to be at neutral. For me I like that.

                    DonM I had to look it up to see what you meant. That's a very interesting system.

                    And they say they've already set the spine.

                    Yep as Steve said once when he had that same driver directions are hard to understand in the booklet that they include but I figured it out easily. I think folks think they are gonna break something using the wrench when it torque's. Honma could do a better job explaining the non-rotating adapter system. Probably the Japanese to English translation.

                    My Honma interest goes back to their high quality persimmon woods early 90's. I still play one from time to time.

                    I think enough of the XP-1 driver that I ordered the 18* frwy and 22* hybrid. I have not been impressed much by new higher tech until the Honma XP-1 as it fits my old senior swing better than any others that I have hit.
