Since my ho-ing adventures seem to stir anxiety in some of my brethren, I'll just post opinions here on my latest dalliance. No claiming it's the Holy Grail,...

Sneaky, he just needs to see if using the 3 wood length/tipped shaft works in a 5 wood. If the lie angle works, which it might because Steve is tall, this thing would give him the ability to get it easily airborne and more distance.

I got to demo Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Driver in 10.5 A flex. This is their newest model in the Hot Launch family. The old visibly offset look is gone. The draw bias is supposed to come via a weight and face angle.

Summary: the draw bias doesn't work, the loud hollow TINK sound is horrible, the feel is worse, the flight is inconsistent and the distance is weak. Keep in mind that this is all using MY swing. I think I have been spoiled by JDM drivers

Quality review - living up to your high standards ! 😎

Our shop got the Callaway Rogue ST Max demos in. I took out the 10.5 with the Project X Cypher 50 today for 18 holes. Typical Callaway sound (muted) and feel (solid). I set the hosel adapter in the Standard loft, Draw setting. Easy to hit straight. Good distance (for me) and I did notice some extra roll-out. I don't know if that was a spin thing or just today's course conditions. Worth $549? Maybe? That seems to be the new normal.

Eguller

sdandrea1 Worth $549?

Or $300 next year maybe. Nothing but good reviews for this driver unless you want one that is LOUDER.

$549....Nope!!!

sdandrea1 "new normal"

To that term, not you. 🖕🖕🖕

I like my drivers muted. Can't stand the pop of the G425 or the tink of the Tour Edge Hot Launch.

@sdandrea1 Do they have a Cally Super Hybrid?

Prices are nuts now. And the trade-in values have not climbed accordingly.

I like one that sounds like I nutted it. 😉 The G425 combines clank and tink. 🤨 Looks at the used sales, almost
all of them have been hot melted.

I’m really enjoying the feel of the PXG 0211 head I bought.

Even when you didn't nut it! That's the Callaway sound.

Callaway Pre Owned is doing 25% off right now. I'm looking at BB B21 drivers. 😍

Just 'keep looking'. Your ears will not tolerate the distance. 😉
It's no longer than anything else, if as long as anything else.

I'd suggest a Tour Certified Mavrik, but doubt the price/loft would be palatable for you. It is a different animal than the regular Mavrik. And longer.

You talkin' to Steve ? 🤔
Not sure he could keep it out of the right rough. Maybe a Mav Max might be better.

Par4QC

Eguller My bad....I did mean the TC Mavrik Max! It is a better head than the regular Max, btw. 'Hotter'.

Rex thinks I'm awesome 🤣 Bless his heart. Most of my courses require ACCURACY over distance. Nearly all of them, actually. Cally pre-owned has a nice 90 day policy. I'm going to try a B21 and see what's what. I have the B21 5w and am enjoying being able to launch a FW metal off of our cart-path-like fairways.

And....where would one find one of those ? ....... asking for a friend. 🤔

Well then, you'll need a TM, with twist face. Everything, ends up in FW. 😆🤣

I had a B21 last season. Not the best of the heads that I hit last year, at all. And I did try a few different shafts in it. Had a helluva a time getting rid of it, til RBG had their +50% deal.

You'll need a hot melt set up. My ears, my ears. 😳

TM = Dark Side.
