Hey everyone,

I am looking to piece together my own bag so I no longer have to share (my first word was "mine").

I have decided to get giga irons but now I need to decide on what driver I want.

I have been looking around for a driver for my bag.

A few that have caught my eye have been the old Nike Machspeed black and the Cobra s3 adjustable.

I know that I want a more modern own because I demoed an r11 on the course this weekend and holy crap!

When I hit it right on my drives flew 30-40 yards further than my budget driver that I am using now.

I really need a new driver!

I would prefer to get an adjustable one.

Are the r11's really so good that it would be worth saving a little more to get a used one of these instead of those aforementioned?

I am open to any suggestions, looking to spend around 150.

What would you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Yes there is a DFS (fitting system) version available, along with the Standard edition.

It's a very long driver, highly recommended.

Thanks for all the advice guys,

I am torn between the Nike Machspeed/VR, Cobra s3, and the Adams 9064LS.

I will only buy them if they are new or a minimum of excellent condition.

Also, I am choosing solely among adjustable drivers, is this a good idea?

Absolutely! some will say it's a crutch but they are uneducated.

An adjustable will allow the club to grow with you.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
