Hi guys went range today and tried a few drivers! i tried:
-R9 460
-Callaway Fti
-Cleveland Launcher
-Nike str8 fit

After trying all these i was really impressed with the nike str8 fit although the only thing putting me of is the noise it makes at impact! It was close between the r9 460 too i must say!! Does anybody else play the nike str8 fit or has tried it?? And whats your thoughts on it??

Mate I tried the Str8-fit and the R9 460 and just found the Nike to be more consistent in length and accuracy so went with it.

I don't notice the noise tbh, but then I came from a Cleveland Hi Bore XLS "cannon"

I love it mate and have hit more fairways than ever with it.

I just picked one up a month ago after demoing several other drivers. I previously had a Callaway X460 and was just frustrated with my control and consistency with it. The Dymo2 Str8-Fit is now my favorite club in my bag. I do feel like I lost a little bit of yardage with it (10-15 yds) but I rarely miss a fairway now.

im supposed to be going to golf show at end of month and the taylormade tour truck will be there so might wait and get custom fit there and see how i get on the range with the club and specs they recommend and then compare it to the nike str8 fit! i must say though that the 8 different head postions really appeals to me over the 4 on the r9 460!!

Noise doesn't matter.
Results matter.
Thats why I went with a king cobra.
worst noise in the world but they give good results.

Your hitting the nike well so go for it.

Ummm... kinda...

TW plays the Dymo 380 head, as does Anthony Kim I think. I've always seen the tour players game the Dymo Str8-Fit head (not regular Dymo), but they have it glued. If you like the adjustability that much, either the new VR driver, or the Machspeed driver (cant remember which, but both feature the Str8-Fit tech) is going to be more adjustable, from what I read. It's some crazy number, like 48 different degrees of adjustability or something.

As far as the driver goes, I got it earlier this year, and I havent even thought about another driver since I bought it. I really like the stock shaft as well, though I'm looking for a shaft with a little lower launch. I actually had an increase in distance with it over my previous Sumo 5000. Before I bought it, I had also hit the R9 (non-460), the Ping Rapture V2 (loved that one too), the G10, and the Adams Speedline.

I honestly never even pay attention to the sound, and I think you'd probably do the same as well after using it for 5 minutes . When I'm a little off-center, I feel like I dont lose much distance. The face is hot, weighting works well for me, and the AXIVCore shaft is freakin awesome. I definitely recommend it, and it sounds like it worked well for you. I think you could probably get a pretty good deal on it right now as well. Good luck with it, let us know how it goes.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
