  1. No he was using cobra before in long drive. I think he recently went to Krank from my understanding.
  2. Looks like he switched to same driver I use too. Interesting him trying out a smaller company like Krank.
  3. New Bridgestone e9... It was purpose built for the long drive guys which kind of suits my game. Hit some of my longest drives on the course the other day. Impressive.
  4. Just an update, I picked up a used set of 2021 p790's and put X7's in them. So far I like them. Shafts feel good to me. Maybe little less spin than the 7.0's. Thumbs up for me. Side not the 790 heads are definitely little hotter.
  5. Only time I was fitted was back in 2013 but those shafts/driver etc don't work for me anymore. Actually the only time I went back and hit on a monitor with my old KBS shafts my 7 iron spin was over 10k. So I switched to project x 7.0 shafts on my own feeling and my ball flight stopped ballooning immediately. I like these shafts alot actually. My current irons are Callaway X hot Pro's and I just want to switch to something newer and wouldn't mind trying the X7's for comparison sake. Problem is none of the fitters have these shafts in stock to just try out. For reference I can go over 140 mph on driver speed so most things in stock do me no good.
  6. Have any of you guys played both these iron shafts? I currently use the project x 7.0's but I'm thinking of getting new irons and may change shafts. Have high swing speeds obviously and need something similar. Always heard the x7's were comparable.
  7. What do you do if you are very long hitter. I have about four par 4's at my home course that I can carry. One in particular is sometimes a dilemma. It is a dogleg to the right and the entire left side is OB adjacent to driving range. I play a little draw but my miss is a push. The best play for me is to play it straight at the green and fly over the trees. However the next tee box is to right of green about 40 yards basically pin high. Is it more rude to the people behind me to wait on my tee box until they have finished teeing off the next hole? Or is it worse if I end up with an errant push that comes near that tee box? The one time I really almost hit someone there they stayed there until I drove up. Turned out they weren't mad but just wanted to see who the heck hit it that far lol. I was still pretty worried. I know if it feels like I am being pushed hard I feel bad for waiting for people to clear the green. Sometimes just end up hitting an iron to keep it moving.
  8. I have basically stopped taking a full swing from about 9 iron down. Just flighting all those shots seems to have improved accuracy. I can hit a 100 yard pitching wedge like a short pitch. Works really nice. I have also been taking a stab at doing it with all my irons to see what happens. Nice low controlled flight.
  9. Think Cam Champ had a lot of fast twitch muscles. Seen a lot of pitches in my day that weren't very big either but could throw mid 90's or harder.
  10. Carry... Can come play with me if you like lol. Not all the time but 340 total distance isn't uncommon for me. It's not an average drive by any means but it also isn't my longest by any means. I can touch 200 mph ball speeds so it's just math really. A good day driving I will average over 300 no problem.
  11. Alot of my misses I think are just lack of practice. Face to patch is for sure an issue at times. I say alot that the distance is great but 340 offline compared to 240 offline is a massive difference on the course. So my face to path is often as good or better than many guys I play with but the same miss is much larger. Though when it's working I can go driver wedge much of the day. Definitely right about a driving iron too. I built a component 17* iron for driving and can at times go a good bit over 250 with it but off center hits on it are very punishing. Also never had lessons but I may get some this summer from a former pga card holder. However I may be more interested in him looking at my swing so I can compete in amateur long drive. I don't have the speed like the real long drivers have but I think it would be fun to go compete again since college baseball. Speaking of Maddux and Smoltz, I am a big braves fan and grew up watching all their games. Think my club speed comes alot from the bat speed I used to have. Have had some home runs measured out around 500 feet with the older metal bats before they changed them.
  12. Last time I was on a monitor my ball speeds were in the 190's with driver. Still shot 86 on a hard course and then an 87 on on easy one my last two rounds. The driver is quite a weapon when it's on but even when a little off it can be catastrophic to my scores. I thought about taking it out the bag and go 3 wood but it's so tempting to grab driver lol.
  13. Usually when I "come up" on a chip or pitch shot I didn't fully commit to the shot. This makes me decelerate and lift up into the shot catching it thin. When I commit to the shot fully, I will accelerate through and make a good turn which always produces better results.
  14. Yeah I'm not a great golfer. Honestly I don't work on my game much. Tend to take weeks off at a time and possibly months between playing. Just have a lot going on always right now. For reference I did build a 7.5* driver with a 2x shaft but in a more normal length and I don't hit it any more accurately as my normal 5*. And isn't the motto of this forum to hit it as far as possible to score lower? I will say when my driving is on it becomes quite the weapon for me. When it's not I resort to my 2 iron lol.
