Rory's Driver Saga & Dean Snell's Thoughts on Golf Ball Rollback! | NO PUTTS GIVEN 139
What's going on with Rory's driver besides hitting it 375 yards 😱
In this episode, Chris and Tony discuss Rory's displeasure with his new Stealth 2 driver. Did a simple length adjustment and shaft change help him out? Regardless, the average golfer should pay attention to what's happening, having a shorter driver can possibly yield longer distances.
Plus, we chat with Dean Snell and get his unique take on the proposed "ball rollback" the PGA unveiled a couple weeks back.
There's a lot on deck so kick back, watch, listen, or do both! This is No Putts Given.

JUST ANNOUNCED: NEW PXG GEN6 DRIVERS, WOODS, HYBRIDS, & IRONS | NO PUTTS GIVEN 138
In this episode, Chris and Tony discuss the new PXG GEN6 line of drivers, woods, hybrids, and irons.
For drivers, we get two models–the O311 and XF. For now, there is no designated "low spin" model. Aluminum Vapor is gone from the crown, and PXG is pushing the moveable weights (3 in the standard model and 2 in the XF) toward the extreme perimeter of the body.
Now, on to the fairways and hybrids. We get the same two model designations as the drivers. The XF model is larger than the standard model and includes rail geometry on the sole–hopefully minimizing "fat" shots of the turf.
Last up are the P and XP irons. With a thinner face, we hope to see more ball speed produced with these two models.

NEWER ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER + MAIL BAG | NO PUTTS GIVEN 137
In this episode, Chris and Tony discuss the choice of two prominent Taylormade staff players ditching their newest drivers this past weekend at the Players Championship. So it begs the question, does new always equate to better?
In addition, are there too many DTC golf brands? It's great to have options but c'mon!

DOES COST EQUAL PERFORMANCE + FUJIKURA AXIOM GRAPHITE SHAFTS | NO PUTTS GIVEN 135
Does golf have a "furniture problem?" Tony seems to think so. In this episode, Chris and Tony discuss the cost of new drivers and whether or not it's too high. Are we getting better performance based on how much we spend?
Plus, Fujikura Axiom graphite iron shafts–a niche product with a high price tag. However, with VeloCore technology incorporated, you may find the 'sweet spot' more consistently.

MOST POPULAR BALL IN GOLF UPDATE + NEW GEAR FROM TITLEIST, MIZUNO, & CALLAWAY | NO PUTTS GIVEN 131
n this episode, Chris and Tony discuss new products from Titleist, Mizuno, and Callaway.
For 2023, the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1X golf balls will feature a new gradient core design, claiming to offer lower spin off drivers without sacrificing greenside spin and performance. Titleist is also dropping their T-Grind wedges and TSR hybrids.
Playing "catch up" is Mizuno. They're launching two drivers, one fairway wood, and one hybrid. We also get brand new wedges, dubbed "S23."
Rounding out this embargo podcast is the Callaway ERC Soft golf ball. Slotting into the "premium ionomer" categroy, we'll be curious to see if this gives golfers more spin around the greens...

New Drivers from TaylorMade, PING, COBRA, and Srixon | No Putts Given 130
In this episode, Chris and Tony discuss new products from Taylormade, PING, Cobra, and Srixon.
First, we have the Stealth 2: The 2nd generation Stealth is an improvement. Tony feels that Taylormade did a bit better, but by how much? Plus, it's wild how much adjust-ability it offers with a 50-gram moveable weight.
Second, we have the G430: For the first time since Rapture, PING is using carbon in a driver, which they're also placing in their fairway woods and hybrids. Right now, it's only available in the LST driver variant, but we expect that to change moving forward.
Third, we have the Aerojet: This year, Cobra is all about aerodynamics. The new face/body tech–PWR BRIDGE and PWR SHELL HOT FACE–have been implemented, which we should also see on every driver, fairway metal and hybrid in the Aerojet family.
Last, we have the Srixon ZX Mark II: Biggest change this year is the addItion of the LS (Low Spin) model. This could help Srixon with their tour presence. It also offers an alternative to the consumer looking for less "mainline" brands.
