So I went to progolf a few months ago and demod the nike covert tour driver. I loved it and the brand, felt super soft and forgiving. I ended up buying one on eBay and hate it. Loud, super unforgiving, and dosnt go anywhere. I brought it in to see if it was counterfeit and they said it was legit. I hit my buddies rbz 2 and hit it straight and solid every time so I know it's not my swing. I'm selling my driver and want to know what new one to get. I launch the ball high(currently play x stiff for low spin but I am going to change back to stiff). I don't know if im considered super consistant( hit a spot a little bigger than a quarter 50% of the time) so don't know if I need a forgiving one. I preferably would like one from 2012 as dont want to spend too much(in the buy sell business) so wondering what y'all reccomend and what you think of my covert situation. I also would like to stick with nike if possible, what have your experiences with the covert been? should i buy a real one or do you think mine is real? Thanks

Did you buy the tour Covert? Same shaft flex? Also was the one you hit at the store tuned to you? It could be that the driver you bought is not set to your specs. Maybe fool around with the settings a bit.

Yes it's the tour. I think the same shaft but is stiffer. And I have the loft and all that tuned. I used to play fake irons and this club seems the same. If you hit it perfect you can get away with it, if not it feels like you completely mis hit it

I have the covert tour 3 wood... I don't think yours is fake, the face is very soft and not forgiving...its the tour version club. when I went in store and hit 3 woods it was shorter than most but I just liked how it felt and came off the face. Driver wise I would definitely reccomend callaway. By far best drivers

I think its just something that happens with a new club.  You need to go and demo any club more than once.  You might hit it totally different the next time.  I go on 3 different occasions.  How long did you have the club?  How many rounds?

I just purchased the Covert myself.  First demo I hit it lights out.  Second demo was inconsistent at best.  The third time I demoed it, I figured out how to hit it more consistently, and I bought it.

I demoed the Covert alongside a few other drivers.  It was between the Covert and the RBZ 1.  The RBZ was a bit longer but more difficult to "nut".  I attributed it to the longer shaft (harder to find the sweet spot?).  At any rate, I wanted something a bit more traditional, and the Covert also seemed lighter that the RBZ.

First time out with the new driver was this past Sunday, and well, of course I couldn't hit it consistently at all.  However, I'm not going to give up on it - I'm sure I can figure it out.  It's just the name of the game.  A few years ago I purchased new fairway woods and it was the same deal, but I spent some time at the range and now they are one of my best clubs.  Maybe my first outing with the new driver was nerves? I always get nervous when debuting a new club on the course.  It's like driving a new car off the lot - once you cross that line, there is no return.

My point is - make sure you give the driver a fair chance.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
