Goin to a Demo Day in Lubbock with a bud of mine and my dad to try out some new Nike and Taylormade equipment :) Its gunna be funnnnnnnnnn! What should i demo first?


Posted

Try the new VR Pro and SQ Machspeed drivers! Actually just try all the new Nike products then proceed to the Taylormade. You can make your way to the R11 after the long line dies out. haha

In The Bag....
Driver: Cobra ZL
Woods: Callaway X Hot
Irons: Gigagolf GX2 Hybrids, Nike Pro Combo
Wedges: Titleist Vokey 60º, Gigagolf SGS Black 52º, 56º
Putter:

Yes, try the new VR Pro blades.  I tried them at a Nike demo day this past weekend at my local range, and as a Mizuno guy, I was awfully tempted to make the switch.

 

In my Mizuno Aerolite IV Stand Bag:

Driver: Titleist 910D2 (9.5°, RIP Alpha 70S)
Wood: Titleist 910F (15°, RIP Alpha 70S)

Irons: Mizuno MP-68 Irons (3 - PW, C-Taper S+), Mizuno MP-33 2 Iron (C-Taper S+)

Wedges: Vokey Spin Milled (56.11 - Bent to 54°, 60.07 Tour Chrome, C-Taper S+ DSS)

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 (34")

Ball: Titleist Pro-V1x

GPS: Garmin Approach g5

Most useful training aids (for me) that I use: Tour Striker Pro 7 Iron, Swingyde, Tour Sticks alignment sticks, Dave Pelz Putting Tutor

For Nike, check our the VR Pro Combo family of irons. Really interesting how you can mix and match.

Next, check out the Cleveland Launcher drivers. Total club weight varies between 270 to 310 grams. I could feel difference between the 270 and 310 models, but not the 290.

Also, ask around about the superlight shafts on some OEM drivers and fairway woods. One rep worried that the superlights were too soft in the tip, and that medium and stronger players would have major problems spraying the ball. Maybe you could give us an ST "Consumer Report" on what people say.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I noticed this week that our local Golf Galaxy got in a new Callaway cart.  It looked like it had about 15-20 different graphite shafts that you could put on their club heads to try out.

Wish they had that when I was buying my clubs.

We have one on the 16th here. Have a set appointment with the Titliest van and I am really curious to see how the new 910 compares to my current 905. I hit the 905 so straight and consistent that it will take a big jump in distance to get me to pony up for a new driver. Also plan on hitting the Burner 2.0 TP and the Adams driver. I am excited as you are. But like I said...there will need to be a major improvement to get my 905 out of my bag.

Well it was real fun! Me and my bud both hit the r11 and Burner. I loved the r11, was bombing it with a couple of little tweaks, alot better than my r9. My bud turned out to be burner guy and was rippin it farther than me. I loved their woods, liked both but the r11's a little better because of the adjustability. The burner 2.o irons were sweet as well but i didnt find any irons to replace my i15's. Other than that, i didnt really like any of the other brands equipment.

Thanks for the update and report. Now that you have hit the Burner and 2.0 and the R11...why the R11. I guess I will be comparing the 2.0 TP and the R11. Not the regular burner. I guess my question is once you get fitted for a driver, why would you even want it adjustable? I do like the R11 look at address better, but I think that is because I am not a fan of the Burner graphics on top of the head.

    • 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.
