king cobra 454 comp.

i love the club overall; i had to adjust my swing a bit for it, but now that i am used to it, it works great.

pros:
i am able to acheive good distance, and control

cons:
after trying out a few other drivers such as the nike sumo... something about it does not seem as smooth as the nike sumo. The nike just seemed to automatically go back on the correct swing path. I guess this would not be a good club for a beginner.

overall i can't complain though, because it works for me!

I am using the TM Superquad 9.5 with the standard fujikura shaft but extended 1 inch. I really love the way this club performs; flight, distance, forgiveness.

I play a Callaway FT-3 9* with a Aldila NVS 55-S shaft. At times I have issues, but when I hit it on the screws, all I can say is WOW!
I do wish I had my Callaway Hawkeye titanium 7.5 back! I traded it for a Walter Hagen 460h that lasted about 4 months. I'm not sure what it was, just out of the blue I couldn't hit it over 160 yards. I had the pro hit it, he managed to hit one about 175 yards...it was funny to see the look on his face. The shaft looked good, couldn't find any cracks, no rattles...clueless as to what it was.

I've used strictly Callaway drivers since the Big Bertha Warbird back in 1995. I've gone through about 4 different models since then, but this year I switched to the Cobra LD F speed. I tried out a few TM drivers, the Ping G5, and newer Callaway models but the feel seems to be lacking in all of them. I still have my old Warbird just in case, and I still whack that club really well.

Taylormade Burner TP 9.5degree with the X-stiff 65g shaft. It was a toss up between it or the Superquad and, I oddly enough, found the Burner TP to be slightly more workable and the weight move ability was not a selling point to me as I rarely if ever used it in my original R7.

Irons: MP-29c (2-PW)
Wedge: Vokey 56/8 bent to 54

Anyone have the Callaway FTi driver? The square headed one...

I demo-ed it for a couple of weeks last Summer (18 holes x 3 rounds) - it hits far and long (well, for me anyway - I was getting 250/260 carry with it) but the price tag I couldnt afford: £299 / $500.

The version I tested was the Ft-i Tour and with a Stiff -flex.

I was thinking about pivking up the FTi for free with my credit card points. But I want to try it before I buy one. I have a golf show, pretty big one here in Cleveland this weekend, I think I'll demo it there.

But theres nothing like seeing what clubs do on the course.

I use a Callaway FT-5 with a UST Proforce V2 Stiff shaft. Some people complain about the sound, but I love the club. The ball just flies off of the clubface. I get about 240-250 yds of carry and 15 or so more in roll on average. The club is very forgiving as well.

Liked my R540 with speeder 757 shaft but wanted to move to a deeper faced driver. Ended up going with SuperQuad TP (mainly for the neutral setup) liking the sound and feel versus Titliest, Cobra, Callaway, and Mizuno.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
