Went to a demo day. Tried every driver I could. Titleist 905, Ping Rapture, G5, Cally FT, X, SQ, HiBore....

The Cobra guy saw me hitting a 905 and grabbed me when I was through and put a H59 F 10 degree in my hands. I never seriously considered this, don't know why just never did.

That ball had carry like I've never seen before. I'm not a long hitter, 240-260 is about it for me including roll on a good strike. This thing carried that and then some, with a nice little draw to boot. Anyone have any experience with this club?

Thanks.

I'd actually consider one of those except I'm scared to death of the "draw bias" (read closed face) that the driver has. I need to hit the ball left like I need a hole in the head. I already have a natural draw to my shot, the last thing I need is a club to help me go further left. Why can't Cobra just make one with a square face?

I fight a pull too.

I looked down at the club tje rep gave me and said as much. He told me to ignore it and hit the ball, and not one went left. No one more surprised than I

I traded my Launcher Comp for a Cobra speed series. I just hit one for the heck of it at a demo day and started xeroxing shots right down the middle with about 5 yards of draw. I normally hit a draw so that didn't surprise me. I liked my Launcher, but I had control issues with big sweeping hooks. I bought the Cobra on the spot. I find that I'm straighter with the Cobra and also about 15 yards longer. As an added bonus it's more forgiving. I also got to play with shafts and heads a bit and ended up with driver with a M shaft and and F head. It really fits my tempo and I just love the feel. I was like you and hadn't seriously considered Cobra, but I think the driver is a great club especially for golfers like myself who aren't tremendously gifted.

Xeroxing shots.

I like that.

Thanks Jeff. Truth be told I stole it though. There used to be a golfer on the pro tour whose nickname was xerox because he was so straight and consistent. But I'll tell you that having confidence in a club can really help your swing. That xerox image has a way of coming true nowW

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
