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.

    • OMG, my brain just blanked out here, lol. 🤣 He is getting up there in age 😛. I've seen more gray hairs lately. 
    • I didn't know Rory played in the US Senior Open 
    • Only thing I will hate about the RC is I will be forced to root for BDC.  So we agree on this a bit, but not completely. I listened to NLU cast with Eduardo Molinari about the behind the scenes of the last RC mauling of the US team and his detailed take on Luke and his prep/approach. I came away impressed. I have always thought that crowds are more influential on the player's mindset than the captain, but that conversation changed my mind on a few things. And not in a big brother way but a lot of nuts and bolts about how each player is playing to their strengths/weaknesses from a golf game (tangible)/mindset (intangible) perspectives and how they would pair with certain players. It was total science - worth a listen. I'm hoping Keegan takes a similar new school approach.
