to try out my new driver. (cobra s9-1) Are you guys always super excited when you buy new stuff?

BTW: Anybody have this driver and if so any thoughts on it so far? I just hit it into a net and have no idea of anything else. It sounds and feels awesome tho.

I feel for you. Waiting sucks. I swung my friends S9-1 around, nice looking head and quality shaft. Didn't actually hit it though...

I'll equate it to this:

New irons and wedges for me are like dating a new girlfriend....it is super fun at first and it takes a while to really feel comfortable.

New putters and drivers are like one night stands that you can see coming early in the evening. Hit 'em for all your are worth and see where it leaves you in the morning. Both of you may have to go through many relationships to find the right one.

I agree with you....having new sticks in the bag is excruciating......it physically hurts until you get a chance to game them.

I hope your Cobra works well for you. They've been making great sticks for over two decades. Bust 'em right down the middle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to be a sarcastic ass, but you can't go uphill from 14/14. LOL

I bought a new driver in the middle of the winter last year. That sucked.

Put it back in the bag. I hate the sound and strongly dislike the look, but I can't find anything that will give me as tight of dispersion of shots. I find it VERY forgiving on mishits, and will certainly play a little draw or little fade.

driver: FT-i tlcg 9.5˚ (Matrix Ozik XCONN Stiff)
4 wood: G10 (ProLaunch Red FW stiff)
3 -PW: :Titleist: 695 mb (Rifle flighted 6.0)
wedges:, 52˚, 56˚, 60˚
putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5

you are right. and i have decided it is going back in the bag. a freind of mine suggested getting the FT-iQ, but the way i hit the FT-i just doesnt justify purchasing the FT-iQ. i was so confident with that FT-i it was ridiculous. ive decided to put it back in the bag and not even think about another driver for now. the FT-i is just perfect for me

Yes. Got my Tour Burner driver a couple of weeks ago. Arrived on Saturday 12:00, was on the range by 12:30 :)..

Am getting new MX-200 irons hopefully this week. Can't wait to try them out. I am rather unhappy about the fact that the seller didn't e-mail me the tracking number for UPS.

if you bought it thru ebay and they shipped it via UPS through PayPal Shipping, you can get the tracking # by going to your items won page, then clicking on the item, and then clicking on Order Details

    • I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
    • I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
