Cobra Bafflers

[wubskis]

So, I'm ecstatic with my Baffler DWS 4h. I got it a couple months ago, tops, and it's already my favourite club in the bag. The action is perfect, feedback is great, and my confidence with it is astronomical.

So I decided to get another one.

The dilemma I'm in is that I bought my original 4h used, because frankly I don't have the money to pop £100 on a shiny club when I can get a slightly less shiny one for £60 that does the same thing. The big issue is that the only one I can find in the spec I want is the old (old or different? I'm not really sure) model without the DWS system.

My question is, would this have a massive influence on the club and thus my swing? The shaft is exactly the same, but without the DWS in the clubhead would it change too much?

Logic says it really shouldn't, and I'm being a dumbass, but I thought I'd confirm it before I took the plunge.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've got a 20 degree Baffler, the one just before the DWS model. It looks the same, and in my opinion, plays the same. DWS is just some weight added to the corners of the club, and while it may make a small statistical difference in robotic testing, I saw no difference on the range. I think my baffler is one of the best clubs in my bag, and it will take a lot to replace it.

Yeah, my hunch was that the DWS (and further on, the TWS) was more cosmetic and psychological than an overhaul of club technology. I think most importantly for me is trying to replicate the action of my current DWS baffler, but in reality I'm not exactly good enough yet to warrant the requirement of such precision buying

I think I'll take the plunge. I can't imagine it feeling like a different club to such an extent I feel different swinging it~ Thanks for the reply!

I am been looking for some hybrids myself. I have test driven the TM Rescue '09, the Adams A4, and the Cobra DWS. I am also interested in trying the Nike SQ as well, since a few people on here really like them.

My initial impressions were:

1. TM
2. Adams
3. Cobra
? Nike

BudgetGolf.net has the A4's on closeout for on $69, and its very hard not to jump on it. I bought my TM r7 irons from them earlier this year.

I love my baffler. It might change and as you get better, you will notice it more i guess.
