Can't comment on Cleveland. I just got the Callaway X Hot. It only comes in a 3 wood. Awfully good club. Great backup driver. Many say they don't like it off the turf. I say that's crap. I probably hit it better off the deck. Long shaft for a 3 wood. I choke up just a skosh.

if you have a high ball spin , the cleveland RED is the way to go..unless you go with a club fit to you... the shaft will make more difference vs the head , my swing speed is 125mph in full swing at top of the season , now season opener i was 110mph when i try the cleveland and some other driver ,

result in a simulator , nike sumo2 - callaway x - ping g 10 cleveland gold all with stock shaft , carry around 250yard , ball spin around 5000..(yeah...) now with a custom shaft on the callaway X 280yard everydrive.. ball sping in the 3000-3500... why i havent buy that one because it was custom and need about 4week to be done but the seller give me the cleveland RED wich improve over other stock shaft.. 260-270.. ball spin in the 3500-4000...now i just custom fit my nike sumo2(old model) with a accuflex creation80 , havent try it on a simulator yet but on the course look longer vs my cleveland.. so remember today most company produce decent driver... but have the proper shaft for you swing is what gonna make the difference!

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
