Stealth driver. Probably won't be seeing it for a good while yet by the sounds of it.

Cool. 
I'm curious. Were you able to hit it first? If so, where? Did you get fitted? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Id planned on getting a fitting.

However when I looked through the shafts/specs there was only one that suited me from previous history. I think this setup will give me a lot of confidence.

I felt that even if i did get a fitting with all the other shafts, I wasn't prepared to pay extra for an upgraded shaft anyway. Given how expensive this driver is already.

There was also a couple of other little reasons I ordered without a fitting. Everything weighed up and it was a no brainer really. That was a month ago, and I don't have buyers regret yet, so that's a positive thing 😅

Cool, again.

BTW - Can I ask which shaft you chose? 

Every year all the new drivers come out and they are all slick like elephant snot. If I was infinitely wealthy I'd buy two or three every year.

Yeah very expensive these days. Luckily I am very picky, otherwise I'd be broke.

Anyone else in the midst of a Golf kick right now.

I mean I can't get enough of it at the moment.

Finally ordered a copy of Lowest Score Wins last week and thought I should really head back over to thesandtrap.com and start arguing about shit I am not qualified to argue about.

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
