Im a little surprised about my fitting results. I currently play Titleist AP2's and love everything about them. Went in thinking the new AP2 will get a solid look, but I was wrong. I hit about 5 different heads, and only took 2 swings with the AP2's. They just ballooned too much and the spin rate was almost 7000 with the 6 iron.
I ended up taking the Taylormade P790 with the KBS Tour V shafts ( 110 grams). It has the exact same technology as PXG, and they were even sued over it.
The approach angle of the ball is now coming down at a better angle to hold more greens, especially in the longer clubs. I thought my Taylormade days were over. Apparently not.

A buddy of mine plays the P790's. They're really sharp looking. He loves them, but occasionally gets a rocket ball. Like 20 yards over the green out of nowhere. He's a 15 handicap tho, so it could just be him. You'll have to tell me how you like the scoring irons. I wonder if they're too long and you'll have to add a wedge for the gap issues.

Some drama with Knox vs Fox on the Irish Open. Knox is a Scot and Fox a New Zealander. Knox needed a birdie on the 18th to stay in contention, and he hits a 40 ft putt to make it. An incredible putt, no-one saw it coming. Fox comes to the 18th later, and has a short putt to win the tournament, and misses. Should make a gif of his face when the ball breaks away and he realises what just happened.
They go on a playoff which is the 18th again. Fox hits a monumental 360 yard drive and gets an easy chip to the green, next to the hole. Knox has no such drive in his toolbox and ends up with a difficult long shot off a slope in the rough, but gets it almost exactly to the same spot he hit that birdie from previously. 40+ feet from the flag.
Knox amazingly hits that miracle putt AGAIN to birdie the hole. Fox looks rattled and misses his short putt (rolls around the rim). Knox is the champion.
This game can be so unfair sometimes. And so exciting. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone hit two such long putts consecutively in a situation like this.

Nice to see Kevin Na win on the PGA tour...He had such a bad case of the Barkley's a few years back.

1st day of the British Open is coming to a close. I put €20 on Matsuyama, figuring at the very least I'll get to watch him a lot because he's in the same group with Tiger. But the asshole director has been cutting away from the group when Tiger isn't playing.
Doesn't matter anyway, since Matsuyama hasn't played that well. In fact, he's actually getting his ass kicked by Tiger. Seems to not find fairways or greens well today.

I've never seen a day so ripe for scoring at the British.

Kisner, Spieth and Schauffele tied for first after 3 days.
Of the 3, I've got to root for Xander on the last day. I mean, Matsuyama is cut and Fleetwood is four shots off the lead.

Finishes at -5, firmly in the hunt going into Sunday. Too bad he had a late bogey but 4 back and a few guys in front of him makes for good media but he'll have to go really low to catch the leaders.
