Looking for a .335 90 gram graphite shaft is impossible to find under $300

Not the same shaft, but I got an uncut AD-DI 9X for $225 on eBay from one of the big shops.

You must be a young buck. If you're over 40 then you get why those grips are baller.

 

Like gripping an old Goodyear

Of course Cashmere Keith is rocking Victory Cords!

Any idea on wedge and iron shafts? Noticed what looked like a KBS label on a wedge in a getty image.... has he changed from his DG X100s?

Bit surprising that with Mizuno’s push to gain wood market share that they couldn’t get their top player to pick up the STZ 3 wood. 
 

Related to that, thought the 230 woods look good but feel like them only releasing a 3 wood and 5 wood is a bit of a miss given the popularity of 7 woods recently.

Saw a video with him saying he's trying to get into the STZ 3 wood, he really likes it but it's going to far, face is too hot so they are trying to work out how they can get it to go the distance he wants. Sounds abit like when Scheffler refused to give up his Nike VR Pro Ltd 3 wood, new ones go too far and leave a big gap back to 5/7 wood/hybrid/long irons.

I'm surprised they even try with woods. They've got their irons of course and now I'd think they should focus on their wedges and have their wedges become every bit as good as their irons. Start having tons of grind options, really dominate the soft feel etc....

But maybe they sell a lot more woods in the Japanese market? Dunno but that "cortex" chamber prob isn't pushing much product here.  

Their wedges are waaay underated imo. I've been stocking up on T20's. Like Keith though the grind on the 60's never seem to work for me unfortunately.

I see the T grind in so many bags of non titleist staff.

I second that, seems like it’s in 80% of all bags

I'm here for the Golf Pride Victory Cord grips.

i played victory cords for many years.  They are significantly more 'rough' than todays cords.  I kinda miss them but i'm starting to think that the modern mcc type grips that I use now are so much more comfortable in my hands that I wouldn't like the old ones anymore.

As one of my dad’s late friends used to say… “Quitters never win”

 

Just put a fresh one on today… had to get that soft Z-Grip Cord off of there…

Since this WITB has been slightly derailed because of the Victory grips, I have to ask:

 

What's the roughest full cord currently available on market? Is it the crossline cord?

The zcords are pretty rough. I call them glove destroyers. I'm switching them all out to something else to help my hands.

The site also says he's in the current blades and not the 221's. I'd love an update on his bag
