I have read where a lot of people that own a Titleist 983E  will take that driver to the grave so I had to have one. I found one in mint condition with a Fujikura Speeder stiff flex shaft on it for $45 so I couldn't turn it down.

So what do y'all think of this club? It's raining today so I can't hit the range with it yet.

I normally play a Callaway Hyper X and hit a personal best drive of 275 yards with it but if I can gain a little more consistency with the Titleist and only knock the ball 230 yards on every drive then I'll be happy with it.

Eactly ----- Your opinion is the one that counts.

This year, I started looking at a new driver to change my 6 year old Cleveland Titanium Driver. I frequented different forums; everyone had their favorites. Read different test reports.

After weeks of research, I had a shopping list that I brought with me to the golf store.

Started hitting each item on my list....

Even demo'd a few of them as my list narrowed.

One day, the saleslady mentioned the Cobra ZL driver that was on sale. She let me check this driver too.

I fell in love with this driver as I got the height I needed, I was able to work the ball.

Cobra ZL never made my original shopping list.

Moral of the story ------ Try it out for yourself as your opinion on the club is the most important.

I went to the range earlier since the sun came out for a while before dark.

I like the club but I don't think it's any better than the Callaway going by how far I hit with it. One plus side is that it doesn't sound like slamming a porcelain mug on concrete when you contact the ball like the Callaway.

It took me a few balls to start hitting either club decent because I was starting the wrist turn too late and slicing but when I remembered to turn my hands earlier in the swing I was back to hitting them fairly straight.

Some day I'll have to go get fitted to make sure my clubs are right for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
