Still contemplating a carry bag....and whether to go as light as I can (Ping craz e lite, about a pound lighter than other bags). Just ordered 2 new pair of Hoka running shoes, one for trail. Hoka's are pretty comfortable and have had several pair.

Mizuno shovels arrived, will give them a run out at Royal Dornoch tomorrow, would have liked to have had a hit first, but been too busy, might try and stop off at Tain and hit a few if i get time

Managed to flog a load of old clubs including Ping G driver, odyssey V-line CH fang putter, odyssey white hot #9, odyssey tank #1 and some glide (original version) 52 and 58 for £250 quid as the club had a second hand golf company in. I wanted a tad more but they weren't budging and so getting rid and getting money on my shop account was the object of the exercise. Having got rid of a load of putters I have a hankering for a milled blade style so need to have a chat with the pro once we re-open. Think he's got some Scotty's due in but would prefer a Ping milled in my heart

Remind us of the specs and did you get an opportunity to do some digging with said shovels?

Mizuno JPX2021 hot metal pro with project X LZ115 shafts, SL<SL.

they are at least 2 clubs longer than my MP4, the lofts are stronger of course but only a club really. They go high and straight, though keep hitting the 4 like a bullet.

our two par 5 's on the back 9 i usually hit, 3 wood off the tee to lay up short on the fairway bunkers, then 5 or 6 iron to lay up short of the next lot. last two days i've hit 4 iron, 7 iron, with no wind, the 7 yesterday almost made the bunker, and was one of the best hits with that club close to 170 yards. also duffed my tee shot a bit on the 17th, had 145 to the flag and wanted to be short of the flag , flew it over and was off the back with a 9. they are pretty chunky looking esp the 4 and 5 irons. i do need a range session with them to get and idea of distances.

will do a proper review once i've tried chipping with them, which i've not tried yet and a range session.

first impressions is WOW:p:p(y)

The drop in price made me think about it.
The price is not that much more than most now.
Wasn’t sure when I went for the fitting but after hitting the proto was convinced .
The sound and flight was awesome , never had that with driver before.
But a -4 aoa was taken care of with a stiffer Diamana flower band shaft.
Itching to get it now , but it’s not in the post yet.

Did you go for the Proto?
