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!

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
