New: CNN spoke with more than a dozen current and former female staffers who say they’ve faced harassment from House members or senior congressional staff, nearly all of whom chose not to report the incidents and still fear publicly naming their harassers https://t.co/xcOUPotmyZ

@jakewoolf How does the fit compare on the Van and Aberdeen lasts? Up half a size on Aberdeen I know, but otherwise comparable, or did you need to change widths or anything on those 684s vs. the LHS?

@SheaSerrano Is this at home? Does it drive everybody in the house crazy? I’m sort of serious, I love thocky linear switches but they’re so so loud that I’ve been sticking with silent switches…

@TommyMarino111 @LouStagner Hogan also played a 1 iron and says in his book it was 39 inches. So, the club listed in this chart as a 2 iron would have been his 1 iron.

(I don’t even know or care what you and Lou are arguing about here, I’m just talking about Ben Hogan’s clubs.)

[Eric Bradner @ericbradner]

@TommyMarino111 @LouStagner I know what PW2 is in a modern set, but back then I don’t think they had gap wedges, or lob wedges for that matter. The club labeled PW in Hogan’s bag would be the 49 degree club, 9 iron is 44, and so on.

[Eric Bradner @ericbradner]

@TommyMarino111 @LouStagner Isn’t it 1 inch? The chart is mostly off by a club — it lists two PWs. Hogan’s 7 iron is the 36 inch, 38.5 degree club; Titleist’s 7 irons are standard at 37 inches. Also their most popular tour iron is the T100 which is a 33 degree 7 iron.

@redkacheek @engineeringolf Is that true? I’d think the SW and LW would be the lowest peak heights in a pro’s bag — like the only spots where it drops at all.

Indiana LG @MicahBeckwith told me a couple weeks ago that three wins would send a strong message.

Tonight?

“It’s better than I expected,” Beckwith said.

Takeaways from today's elections — starting with Indiana, where Republican voters proved it's still Trump's party, plus stops in Ohio, where the stage is set for a big November, and Michigan, where a Democrat again overperformed in a special election.

@bgalsWI Hey Brett, trying to get in touch -- send me a message.

[Eric Bradner @ericbradner]

@cbbinsiderszn @DuragRebel Yeah this is a huge issue, another constant headache is that most brands’ fitting carts are terrible.

Like — have some speed, but deliver low dynamic loft? Good luck finding a stout, 80-90g shaft at a reasonable length to try in a higher-lofted wood/hybrid to replace a 4 iron.

And lots more ahead of the May 5 primary:

Five months ago, Indiana Republican legislators withstood pressure from President Donald Trump and rejected his urgent political demands. Now there are signs here on the ground that GOP voters may be poised to do the same.

Here's how Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, who is aligned with Trump and campaigning with his endorsed candidates, framed the primaries: "Is it going to be the party of the Bushes, or is it the Make America Great Again, America First agenda party?"

@JR_HIRSHey @Titleist @Fully_Equipped Do you know when we'll get to see the specs of the whole FW lineup? Very curious to see whether Titleist has added anything else new, like the GTS3 7W. A GTS2 9W, for example, might make some sense.

[Eric Bradner @ericbradner]

@JR_HIRSHey @TaylorMadeGolf @Fully_Equipped Can Adrian give you the lengths of those guys' three woods? Just curious about the gapping. I'd think they'd have to go something like 43-41.75-40.5 to get that to work

[Eric Bradner @ericbradner]

@ACameronWRX @Titleist @GolfWRX Nice catch
