I’ve always been a golfer who thought he preferred the fastest greens possible.

Growing up, fast greens were typically a sign of nicer courses in my area. Did I prefer playing nicer courses with smooth, fast greens? Of course I did. Faster the better, honestly.

“I putt better on fast greens,” I told dozens of people over the years.

But like a lot of other parts of life, age has complicated my once simplistic view of green speeds.

I find myself now yearning for more interesting green complexes—married with reasonable speeds—that make the game more enjoyable for all skill levels.

Give me an honest answer. How long has that old, beat up, sun faded golf bag been in play? 5 years? 10? Even more?! While golfers seem to update their clubs on a regular enough basis as their game progresses, one spot I see neglected and in need of upgrading is the golf bag. Today’s deal saves you a sweet chunk of change on a highly rated cart bag option!

Aesthetic appeal and first impressions

The Sub 70 Pro V2 fairway wood made a strong impression on the testers right from the moment they unboxed it. The club’s sleek and classic design, combined with high-quality finishes, was immediately noticeable.

JJBack was particularly taken by the Pro V2’s understated yet elegant appearance. He described it as “clean and classic with just the right amount of modern flair.” For him, the simplicity of the design was a major selling point as it avoided the distractions of more flashy clubs while still delivering a contemporary feel.

“The Pro V2 has a very clean look at address. The black finish and simple graphics are exactly what I want in a fairway wood. It looks sharp without being flashy, which really suits my taste.”

It looks like new Srixon ZX Prototype irons are hitting the PGA Tour. 

Srixon is giving us a sneak peek at its new ZX Prototype irons. According to information provided by Srixon, it’s anticipating “several” of its Tour staff will switch to the new irons this week at the Procore Championship in Napa Valley. The branding indicates the new 2025 irons will be called the Srixon ZXi line. That, however, could change by the time the irons are officially released in January.

For simplicity, we’ll refer to them as ZXi.

These pictures are supplied to us by Srixon as a sort of unofficial tease for the new line. Srixon has been on a two-year life cycle for its signature forged irons and the new ZXi7 and ZXi5 look to be the direct replacements for the current ZX7 and ZX5 MkII irons, which were released in January of 2023.

Srixon ZX Prototype Irons: the ZXi7

If these pictures are an indication, the new ZXi7 is a single-piece forged cavity-back player’s iron. Like its predecessor, the ZXi7 features “Pureframe,” a ridge forged into the cavity to add extra mass at the sweet spot. The biggest difference we can see between the ZX7 and the new ZXi7 is that the mass appears slightly larger and more pronounced in the new model.

It’s been roughly a year and a half since PXG released its first golf ball. As 2024 rounds into the home stretch, PXG’s first Xtreme Tour ball is being replaced with a pair of new offerings.

It should go without saying that adding a second ball (Xtreme Tour X) to the lineup provides greater opportunity to fit golfers and, if nothing else, increases the odds you’ll find a PXG ball to your liking.

Same, not the same

As with most golf ball releases, some things have changed while others have stayed the same.

The same (mostly) is the 338-dimple cover that carries on with the new models. It’s common to both balls and, notably, the Kirkland Signature V3. If nothing else, that last bit serves as your clue that the balls are produced by the same SM Parker factory.

I’ve mentioned it before but it’s worth repeating: neither of the two new balls is a rebranded Kirkland. Both models are unique to PXG.
