I'm looking at getting the Cleveland Classic driver. I hit it at the PGA superstore and thought it felt great, but I'm still not hooked on it what do you guys think about that driver.

Went to a local golf shop on a slow day in February, and got to hit Classic vs. RBZ driver using both launch monitor and face decal. Both clubs had R-flex and 10.5* loft.

The Classic (290 gram) has a deep face to it, and felt good and kept the ball in a fairly tight group. RBZ was all over the place - might be OK if you cut 1.5" off shaft.

Classic reminds me somewhat of my favorite old deep-faced persimmon driver (which I foolishly sold in 1984).

For Classic, make sure you try all three head weights and a couple of different lofts.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
