It’s a rogue silver 125 60tx - best shaft I’ve ever tried, which is why I sought one out on EBay. Looks like the seller is going to fully reimburse me... hopefully.

Bought a used premium shaft for my driver on Ebay... last Saturday, four shots later, my brand new 2017 M1 head was flying 150 yards into the middle of a busy driving range.
Someone had tried to cover up that the shaft was shortened a ton by only inserting the shaft into the TM adapter about 5/8ths of an inch, with a solid mass of epoxy at the bottom of the adapter to try to make up for the missing 3/4 inch or so of shaft.
Have spoken to the seller already - hopefully this goes well. I paid duties, put on my preferred grip, and have serious scratches on a brand new M1 head. Pretty bummed.
However, still got out and played 18 on Sunday with the stock shaft, so still happier than I was Friday!
I recently used both golfavenue.ca and 2ndswing.com to buy new to me Mizuno JPX900 woods and both sites were awesome with great product at good prices.

This video hits a little too close to home, but not for the reason implied. I was playing in Alabama in late March, and it was cold and windy. We were playing Fighting Joe, which is the longest course on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, at just under 8,200 yards. It's a once in a lifetime trip so we had to tip it out. We're on the 12th hole, which is a 716 yard brute of a par 5, and its playing into the wind. I have a picture of one of our guys hitting his second shot from behind the white tee box, which has a 220-230 yard advantage on the tips. I never let this guy live this moment down. In full disclosure, not a single one of our group had a drive get past the forward tee, which was only 275 yards in front of the back tees! Fortunately no invoked the dick-out rule.
Tour Edge Exotics, Wilson, Cobra, Titleist, Taylor Made and Callaway were all there.
Really, really like the King Cobra F8+ driver. Didn't hit anything that was even close for me. So much so I'm going to put my Titleist 917D2 up for sale. If you are lefty hit me up.
Best irons I hit were the Titleist AP2s, the AP3s were nice as were the TM P750s.
This is by far the best demo day I'm aware of in town. Outdoors on a grass range with most of the manufacturers equipped with launch monitors.

Had a season best 71 today that included a double bogie on the second easiest hole on the course (72.1/123). Looking forward to more opportunities to play as the summers heat hit.
Awesome day out on the course today - man is it nice to be back!
Made 5 straight bogeys on the front nine but was able to drain a 30 ft eagle putt on the back to keep things respectable.
Me and my buddy had a great match all the way to the final hole. We are almost always within 3 shots of each other so it's always fun competition.
Off to Victoria on Tuesday for 3 rounds. I've never been to the island so I am very excited... unfortunatly it's work golf so will probably be a dunken mess. I actually find corporate golf to be a giant disappointment. Typically you are playing fantastic courses but usually with people that don't give a damn. A part of me dies inside every time.
