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.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      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.
