So i'm in the market for some new player cavity backs, and of course I want to hit and compare some clubs before I spend $900. I've been to Golf Galaxy and hit the AP2s, Titleist 710 CBs, Callaway X-Forged, and Nike VR Split cavities in their simulators. In the end, I felt my hitting sessions weren't particularly helpful, because I was hitting off mats with taped clubheads. I could barely feel any difference between the clubs. Plus, I wasn't able to see my ball flight, and a simulator isn't a very reliable source for that.

I know Golfsmith will let you take out any of their pre-owned sets for a hit on a range somewhere, but I was wondering if you guys knew of any better ways to demo some clubs. For the newer irons sets I mentioned above, is there any way I could hit them side by side outside from the grass? I'm also interested in a couple of older models like the MP-57 and Cobra Pro CB, so would there be any way to get my hands on a set of those to demo?

I'm also aware that sometimes golf courses will have "demo" days, but i'm having a hard time finding information about those in my area. Plus ideally I would be able to demo a few sets side by side for better comparison.

Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
