One of my favorite places on earth, Venice. Many people go here but they rush, they don't know where to go, they eat s**t food but there is another side to venice and a mindset & tempo to have when "being" here. I lived right up the road for a while, it took me at least 5+ visits to get my brain into that mode, sometimes it takes time to get into the groove of a place. Stay inside venice, it doesn't have to cost a fortune if you know where to go, during the day thousands of people come in by boat but they all gotta be back by 5-6pm so after that it's empty and at night time is when the city is most beautiful so drink yourselves silly, sleep in the day and have at it in the evening!

Of course florence, again don't do hotels stay in Chianti or nearby and taxi into the city for the day. We head back to Greve and visit a famous butcher then take our florentine steaks back to the Villa to cook. Guys grass fed florentine steaks cooked the right way rivals any Waygu, different experience totally but when done perfectly it's as mind blowingly good if not better. Siena and morning wine One thing I noticed was Italian men absolutely adore children, I've been all over and usually it's the women who pay attention to youngsters but in Italy waiters would feed my daughter, pick her up, sing to her every where we went. When you delete all the bulls**t in life I truly feel there is another side to us guys that is more connected to the important things in life.

We started the day by going to the town square in Greve to visit the butcher for tonights pizza toppings, after we visited a couple of delicious wineries and the town where the man who America is named after Amerigo Vespucci was from. The evening was finished with many bottles of wine and home made pizzas that we made back at the Villa. Other pics from the following days

If you anyone is going to Italy for at least 4+ weeks with a few bucks to spend look me up I will show you the way. Instead of staying in a busy city in a hotel spend some time in a serviced Villa, actually cost less per night! this is one I rented for a week and my words nor these photos can describe how beautiful it is, totally private and better yet show your wife some crummy hotel pics then surprise her she will be in tears of joy, I hired a personal chefs on the day we arrived so worth it. These things may look expensive but it cost way less than staying in the city doing similar.

One of the most beautiful things I've seen a crumbling city called Civita Di Bagnoregio in Lazio Cortona Osteria di Passignano a 1 star michelin rated restaurant located in the Chianti Classico region at an ancient monastery dating back to 395. Even today it is still inhabited by monks of the Vallombrosian order.

I love Italy guys, even more than Japan. Lived there for a couple years and have gone back many times for extended periods, I simply can't get enough of it's beautiful inconveniences. We went back to visit a few months ago and don't know why we ever left. In 2004 my wife and I lived in villa in Isola Vicentina north of Venice owned by the Laverda's who founded an Italian motor cycle company. Our bedroom was above a tiny church dated hundreds of years old while our living room was above the Laverda's personal museum, the grounds featured artifacts from the roman era and the most delicious fruit. Sorry for the over sharpened pics, FB chew's up images like this. Some pics of Rome, yes its touristy but if you know where to go and how who to hire it can actually be relaxing. I love the food. I love the people. I love Italy.

This is much more affordable than an insert it's 270 vs 500ish I think it looks better as well.

I'm in the initial stages with an architect for a new home build and may add one in the basement if this is the good one and I think it is. Speith says its one step up from the driving range, In Japan I've tried the simulator bars and they are good but I would love to wake up and hit balls in my undies!

I've got it all and then some, soon sir.

what you will notice is brands try something and it doesn't have a big effect then they scrap it in the next model and create something else to talk about over and over again.

Side profile from a cut head.

Yes but which way do these grooves benefit side spin? We can't have it both ways with this design can we?

The entire line up looks mean!

Yup an undercut MB with some sort of graphite or TPU material stuffed into the cutaway. The grooves on their new UT are interesting as well not sure how it doesn't create extra side spin:

Anyone own one of these? Speith and Woods swear by them so I've been eye'ing one for a long time.

Yes formerly of TSG, he is now Digital Konbini Tario ;)

Here's another one!

Yes exactly

The Titleist 2016 VG3 Driver looks pretty awesome! more info to come...

I burned through all of their RAW wedges already there are no more for 1-2 months. For those with orders right now for RAW one option is to wait 3 weeks for us to remove the chrome satin finish. Satin/Chrome is still available but not many.

btw all of these wedges are forged by Kyoei except for the SEVEN & SDJ.

Yes go with the new version, actually called Tour Wedge in place of CB104 W. I feel it's Crazy's best wedge yet, Was not aware of this buy Toyoshima no longer works there and this is from their new designer who is supposedly a beast! It's similar to the CB proto wedges of past, milled face and grooves, just all around great. The prototypes are awesome as well and play very similar to the A-Grind wedges imo. Can't go wrong with any of these really.

Thats a different looking copper, who plated those and what is that copper called?

Modus3 115 is very nice! After playing all 3 Modus wedge shafts I like it the most of the bunch. 125 is most accurate but does't get high enough for me. Although I currently play the same shaft as my irons in my wedges which are either MCI 120 or Crazy STP85 Stiff.
