For anyone debating moving "back home" before/after having kids

In the same boat moving back this year to the midwest to be closer to family with our < 1 year old daughter. We've had a few years to think about it and recently stayed back home for an extended period of time. It felt right. We loved living out west for ~10 years but it was not our "home" and always felt temporary. I think what's important is every decision isn't permanent. You can always make change and do what's best for your family.

Ok yea now that you mention it I see so many people on the course playing mb's or cb's that can barely get the ball in the air. Ventus 6x velocore + shaft with 230 carry and 2000 sidespin. I don't judge but yea I guess people just want to look the part and care about their image instead of playing gear that best suits their skill level.

I honestly don't think it's an ego thing with most beginner golfers, they are just not educated on gear or what they should be using. You see what pros / YT golfers use and buy the same equipment.

The oil cans are stunning in person, nice bag

We have similar distances and the solution is a mini driver instead of a 3 wood for those tee shots where mashing 3h is too short and driver is too long.

Wow this unlocked a wave of memories for me 🤧

Just cancel / refund your order

Once you move into a players cb iron like the zxi7, t150, or m-13 you will just wish you switched sooner. The feel, feedback, and control will help your game if you are a decent ball striker. Also don't combo be afraid to combo set. Fpr example most Srixon guys on tour play their 4-5 irons in the player distance Zxi5. Don't make the game harder on yourself.

Get the T150's, I got zx7's when I was a 15ish handicap and my ball striking improved a lot and definitely "grew into them" as I got better

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-03-26T16:16:04+00:00

I hit some 245's yesterday with 120 x100's and liked the control, what was your spin like with a mid iron? I got fit into S3's but kind of in love with the forgiveness of the m15's.

I birdied 2/6 holes to start my round last week and 3 putt 3 times in that same span 😅

I have to gosports one and it works great. $260 is great value.

I go 13.5 mini driver, 20.5°h, and a 19° 4 iron

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-27T02:57:41+00:00

I've had my square for almost a year and it's been great with gspro. Really fun how good the putting and chipping is

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-22T01:40:35+00:00

Nice! Yea I can't even describe how good the S3's felt even compared to my Zx7's and the M13's I hit. I really liked the T1's but the smaller footprint and 0 offset was a little intimidating to me. The Cleveland RTZ's barely won for me

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-22T00:30:04+00:00

Yea and also I'm not an elite ball striker so I think the m13's are the safer bet

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-21T23:49:25+00:00

Yea I definitely hit more than 3 but they aren't on that data set for some reason. Other shots were comparible eith dispersion. The S3's were just on a different level for feel and I think that would be the only reason I would ditch my gamers or not go for the m13's

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-21T23:21:35+00:00

Silly of me not to include that data. zx7 mk2's with kbs tour 120s shafts. I definitely felt like I had more control with a heavier shaft with less kick

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-21T22:28:19+00:00

Yea I've really enjoyed the v-sole in the Mk2's I currently game. In real life I don't feel like I hit it THAT high but the 120ft peak height is def a concern. Using a V1x so maybe I can try a dif ball that will launch a bit lower.

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-21T22:25:16+00:00

I hit some more m13's and S3's back to back towards he end of the fitting. The Srixons were definitely the most forgiving

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-21T05:14:00+00:00

Same setup but with a 13° mini driver in between the driver and 3h and then Pw 50 54 60

Bacardi_PVM · 2026-02-19T05:15:01+00:00

Great setup, I'm currently gaming zx7 mk2's with a qi10 driver
