Today from the Forums, we take a look at WRXer johnroyal519 who has shared his results from testing 2020 model drivers. For johnroyal519, the Sim Max and TS3 suited him best, who told WRXers:

“TS2 – felt great. A little spinny. Heel Misses were spinning like crazy and getting punished quite a bit.

Maverick Sub Zero – Very very hard to center for me. Misses got killed. I didn’t hit the middle. Struggled with it.

Cobra SZ – Decent. Doesn’t sit square. Felt Tinny. Next.

Ping G410 LST – Good results – ball went high and far. Didn’t care for the look for feel.

Sim – Awesome Driver. Needed a bit more spin though.

Sim Max – Again Awesome driver. Long and felt great.

TS3 – The longest of the day. Look at address is great. Felt unreal. Misses were better than TS2. Dialed into Evenflow White 6.0 OR Tensi Orange Pro.

Debating between Sim Max or Ts3… Decisions decisions…”

Our members have been discussing the 2020 lineups, mentioning what they have found from each new driver, with plenty of different opinions offered up.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

nikeblades00: “Sim max gives me a ton of confidence at address. Really like the color scheme better than M6. Did you hit the Exotics and Mizuno driver? Both good as well.”
Mahamilto: “TS3 is fantastic when dialed in… just fantastic.”
AmazinBlue: “I hit the SIM Max today extensively and didn’t care for it. The sound was weird. It just didn’t work for me. I also hit the Cobra SZ and the Xtreme. The Xtreme was okay, nothing special. I really liked the SZ. Hitting 10.5 and the weight forward, I loved the ball flight, sound and feel. I am planning on getting a fitting for the SZ in white soon.”
moorebaseball: “TS3 is phenomenal! Look and feel is the BEST, and the performance is AMAZING! Paired with the right shaft fitted for you, it will be a weapon! I have hit all the new offerings, and they are all around the same performance give or take a yard or two. That means it comes down to look and feel, and for me, that is where the TS3 shines.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
Mizuno MP-32
Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
Bridgestone J33cb – still own
