Wasn’t planning on going all Mavrik but the flatter lie in Sub Zero models as well as the Pro hybrid are great at neutralizing the left for me. I have hated hybrids forever and this is the first one I don’t have a massive hook miss with. 
 

Love the Srixon irons. The turf interaction is amazing and the flight is perfect for me (I’m a high ball hitter). Looking to possibly looking to get a ZX utility to replace the 4 iron. 
 

I have had so many wedges in the past couple years. RTX-3, SM7, and MG2 but these are my favorite. The flight, feel and spin retention when wet are great. Love the shape and raw finish. 
 

Putter has been pretty great. Love the extra weight. Has really helped smooth out my stroke.

Those raw T-20s looks nice. Haven't played a set of Mizzy wedges since like the T-10s - maybe it's time to try out a set again.

Do it! I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Thats a players bag right there.

 

Hows the shaft in the hybrid?  I'm going to a 2 hybrid (no 3w) set up and I'm looking for a higher launching but stable shaft for the 2h/4h set up I'm trying.

 

Do me one favor, put that P wedge down with the other wedges, having 4 in that section of the divider is causing my OCD to go off the rails.

The shaft is plenty stable for me even though I hover around 110 ss with driver. Wanted to get X flex but had no luck in finding any. Any reason for knocking out 3W?

Very nice setup, how's the leading edge on those wedges? I'm in the market for new ones and prefer a bit straighter of a leading edge.

I'm a bit slower than that (105-108) but it could work for sure.

 

Getting rid of the 3w is just because I struggle with them and buy about 8 of them a year trying to find one I really like.  With the 2h I can net out about 240 with it, so thats my go range on a par 5 if there is no trouble around it, I waste more shots going for a par 5 in 2 than anyone I know, lol.

Part of it could be my transition being pretty smooth. I don't tend to pull on the handle from the top. Hopefully it works for you! I hear you on going for too many Par 5 in two. I have always hit 3 wood well so I am always tempted to go for two (especially when I hit a bad drive and want to make up for it. Lost too many strokes trying to play like a hero. Now I only go for them in two if I had an iron in hand or if there isn't much trouble around the green or a bail out spot. I have a wedge system now where I know all my partial yardages with each wedge so I just try put it inside 75 yards with an iron and attack Par 5s that way when there are hazards in play.

 

If you struggle with 3 wood you should look at Callaway's super hybrid.

Leading is fairly straight on 52 and gets more rounded with 56 and 60. They have a similar shape as my friend's SM8.

Good to know thanks, kinda just compiling a list of wedges I'd want to try out come my fitting. Honestly might try all I can.

I have hit it and I'll be honest, I hate the look of it, lol.  I've got the SIM2 17* cranked a little strong and it seems to work pretty well so far.  I'm planning to play with the shaft here in the fall and just lean into the hybrids for 2022.
