Evnroll V-Series Putter Review: 2022 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 5

I've tested and played three different Evnroll V-Series milled putters over the past year.  And with each putter my immediate impressions were exactly the same.  I can see V-Series as the kind of putters someone uses just one time and then doesn't even consider trying anything else afterwards.  They're really that good.

The ER2v wide flange mallet, ER5v winged mallet, and ER11vx full-size mallet are all extremely forgiving across the entire face, deliver a deliciously soft click at impact, and are responsive with consistency of results even when your putts are not perfect.  And one of you will be able to choose any of the six different putters in the V-Series line.  You can choose any putter, any length, and any of six different hosels (more on this in a bit) and see all the putters here.

I was fit multiple times this year for many different drivers this year, and the Fujikura Ventus TR Blue seemed to always be the shaft that was one of the best for me.  I have it in a handful of drivers and woods.  And for JingleBAM DAY 4 one of you will win any Ventus TR shaft you want.  Choose from Blue, Red, or Black, any weight, any flex.  I'll even see what I can do to get it cut and gripped at the length you want with whatever driver you want to use it in.  You can read about the Ventus TR Blue, Red, and Black specs and technology here.

Edel Golf SMS Forged Wedge Review: 2022 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 4

From players on professional Tours to weekend warriors the short game is your most important tool.  And Edel Golf has designed a groundbreaking wedge with removable weight technology that will help anyone hit the ball closer to those hard to reach pins and spin the ball like it was attached to a yoyo.

Edel's new SMS wedges allow you to move around three different weights that ultimately fit the wedge to your unique swing and game.  And one of you will win a custom set of three (3) Edel SMS wedges.  You can choose any loft (between 48 and 60 degrees), any of four fantastic grinds, and any flex.  I'll help the winner figure out what combination might be best for their game.

PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 3 Golf Giveaway: Bridgestone Golf 12 Dozen (Year Supply) of Tour B Golf Balls

Don't know if you heard but some dude named Tiger is playing tonight?  Grin... yeah it's an exhibition match, but tonight's Capital One The Match pitting Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy against Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas has all the feels of something that could put exhibition golf back on the map.

Tiger recently switched from the Bridgestone Golf Tour B XS to the Tour B X, and I believe tonight is the first time he'll be using it competitively.  And so it seems a perfect day to have my JingleBAM DAY 3 giveaway.  A full year's supply, 12 dozen 2022 Bridgestone Golf Tour B balls.  The winner can choose from any of the Tour B X, Tour B XS, Tour B RX, or Tour B RXS.

Full Set (4-PW) of Cobra Golf 2023 T-Rail Irons or 2022 LTDx Irons: PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 3

I asked you about a month ago if you'd like to see a full set of Cobra Golf 2022 LTDx irons or Cobra Golf 2023 T-Rail irons in my 12 Days of Christmas this year.  Both models were strong performers for me and two of the easiest to hit Cobra irons I've ever played.

And the results were split.  About half of you wanted to see the new T-Rail, and the other half wanted to see LTDx.  So I'm letting you decide for DAY 3!  The winner can choose whichever set they want, T-Rail or LTDx, any flex, RH or LH.  Sets include 7 irons, and the T-Rail have a dedicated 4H hybrid as well.

I think you guys knew this was coming.  I know you hoped it was.  So for my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 2 giveaway someone's going to win both the Original Penguin Performance Quarter Zip Hoodie and Insulated Puffer Vest from their new 2022-23 Polar Pete Golf Collection.

You can go to their site and click on the links above to see color options available and choose whatever size you want. I love the Original Penguin brand because it's really defined the way we dress today.  It's timeless and it's cool.  You might even say OP is OG.  And this new Polar Pete Collection is true to OP's retro roots, while still looking contemporary and feeling fantastic both on and of the course.
