Saw those new Amp irons in GD magazine - the Fowler connection has to be the reason. They look awful, just like his Sunday outfit.

Everything Cobra has coming out is so ugly.

Despite the orange website and clubs Fowler still is not listed as one of their Tour Pro's.

True, but if you go to the Titleist site, no bag with his picture anymore, so while he still plays a Titleist ball, doesn't look like he's a Titleist club guy any longer. Somethings up.

Any shock that the new site is entirely Orange and all of the new clubs have orange highlights....I don't think so.

Fowler and Cobra are a good fit!

Didn't want you to wait too long, you may not have that much time left.

Cobra is definitely taking a gamble on a promising young star and the youthful market that he can hopefully penetrate for them. There is a window of opportunity that should benefit both parties and hopefully gain Cobra some more market share. I am just not really looking forward to the orange and green showing up at a course near me, but I realize that it is needed for the growth of the game, especially in the United States. When all the Baby Boomers leave the golf course, and it's the Generation Jones, X, and Yers, we will need the Digital Natives to migrate to the game. Maybe this is their ticket inside the ropes.

Why all the Fowler haters? Sure he's alot flashier then most players but no player has brought more attention to golf from the younger crowd in the last 10 years than Fowler. He's not the best golf on tour but also far from the worst. He will win one day, maybe not this year or next but he has flirted enough that he will win. He is great for the game and who cares what clubs he plays or who he takes as a sponsor. I saw him live on a Sunday at an event and even though he was out of contention he still had by far the biggest following. He takes time for his fans, signs autographs after rounds until almost every kid gets one. Its great to see guys like him trying not to make golf so stuffy and bring some flash to the game.

Driver- Titleist 910 D3 9.5

I will add to the bolded comment, unless it is Rickie himself. I saw him at the Honda last year and was fun to watch along with fellow Cobra Staffer Ian Poulter who was just hilarious.

I'm not really a Rickie Fowler fan, but don't hate him either.  His clothes annoy me, but whatever.  Dude's got a lot of talent and seems like a good kid.  When he first started getting in some tournaments as an amateur and then his tour card, he reminded me of Sergio Garcia.  He's got so much lag, that timing has to be perfect and I expected to see random battles with inconsistency.  Any given week he could win or finish T48, and neither would be expected more than the other.

He pretty much only has one real option when it comes to the irons with Cobra. Not the case with Titty. They must have made him a nice offer, otherwise I'm sure he would have been more than happy to continue to wear their clothing and use Titleist clubs.  #Orange2thebone

CB and MB are no different than the S3 C and S3 M variations so that counts as 1.

The AP2 is actually similar (in photos) to the Amp just in less gaudy colours.

Couldn't care less about Cobra's stuff. Maybe that count was off too. Just saying the Titleist count was off. CB is different than MB and both different than AP2. He would have had three choices of iron with Titleist. Maybe 3 also with Cobra.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
