Interesting witb setup. Always play with what works best for you that’s for sure. You definitely don’t seem to be a brand fanboy which is cool. I had to narrow my gap on the top end of my bag and leave the creativity with the wedges which I like. I have a strong old Rogue 3 wood too but put it in the closet after I got an F9 and reshafted it. Not quite as long off the tee but I feel pretty good about hitting it off the deck. I have a PXG 0211 5 wood where you have your rescue that helps with that gap. I don’t think my game is good enough to do what you do with that club but getting an adjustable 3 hybrid does sound enticing. Have enough toys as it is.
I wish i would have bought the Takamo irons even though the Srixon I did buy are great. SMARTSTAKE is it stable? I have holder for an alignment stick but a fly fart makes it giggle. Makes bad videos.
Any other commentary on the Elevate Tour shafts? I'm looking to move from my Maltby forged cavity backs/ Nippon 950GH to the Takoma 201s. No surprise you are using a contrarian shaft to (the industry-wide) irons that have lofts in a race to the bottom. 😉 Marketing info characterizes the Elevates as shafts that put some height and spin back into the shot. I'm assuming for 29* #7s which launch knuckleballs. Did you notice anything? Thanks.
Hi there , I play the same irons. Love them . Do you know where I could get a spare 4 iron head. If you have one would get you to make 2 deg stronger and use as a 3 iron. Hope u can help. Raj
Beginner golfer here. Thanks for the advice about getting some custom clubs at golf works. I’m just waiting on my wood and driver and I’ll have at least 8 clubs to start. Only spent $650 for a set of new custom clubs. I’ll slowly add some new ones throughout the season.
Hey AJ, love the vids and the info you provide. Just want to mention, don’t sleep on Star grips, very similar feel to the pure, a little better price and last forever, worth checking out and have multiple colors and USA 🇺🇸 made!! Give them a look
Thanks for the info always interesting to see what's in the bag, my question is if you're loving the driver why not find a regular 3 wood? I experimented with a strong 3 for those non driver holes, but for 10 or 15 yrds a reg 3 is much easier to hit off the fairway. or even a strong 4 would be interesting to try.
AJ been following for a while and appreciate all your helpful info. Also good luck with the new endeavor. Question I have for you is ,I’m a 15 hc and thinking about the new cobra driver you talked about in this video would you recommend for a high hc like myself or should I look into the mizuno stz220 ??
Agree on Pure Pro grips! I have tried many brands / styles over the years, and these are my favorite for reasons you mention. My close second are Iomic sticky, but Pure is more readily available, less expensive and more durable.
How comparable is that diamana shaft to modern shafts see as it's 10 years old? I used to play it and loved it. Just wondering how it would be compared to my modern shafted driver
I've watched many videos on the Takomo 101 irons but since they are direct to consumer, hardly any fitters have them making it difficult to test, plus they are only offered 4-PW. I ended up with the PXG 6-GW as I took out the 4i & 5i and replaced them with a 3 & 4 hybrid.
Hi AJ. Are your grips standard or mid size? I find the taper on the pure wrap grips to be close to underside. Keen to know if the mid size are closer to a Golf Pride CP2 thickness.

Love my pure grips I use the DTX.
Gotta love the Pure grips
Played a Blue board in an R9 for 10 years. Loved it.
Curious about where to find the smartphone stake as well?
What is your driver swing speed?

Nice bag set up. Sun Mountain makes great bags and they're the OEM Bag manufacturer for Titleist, Cleveland and Callaway
Interesting setup. Much respect on Takomo irons. BUT THEY NEED TO MAKE A 3 IRON AND 49/50/51° AW/GW to match it
Nice video. What ball do you use?

Is this a bag of things I like or did you do any testing or fitting? A doctor who treats himself has a …..
