Well, I took it to the driving range last week and I bombed it! I hit everything really far and pretty straight for the most part.

I took it out Friday and played my first 9 with it. I couldn't have stunk it up anymore! I had the stinkin duckhooks like crazy! I hit 1 fairway, but that was a mishit that only went about 225 yards or so.

I did hit two drives that actually had good contact, and they traveled forever. They just ended up really right. I did have a 15 foot eagle putt on my last hole of the day, but overall, I just stunk it up big time.

It was frustrating because I had hit it so well on the driving range. I just don't know what I'm doing to duckhook everything. My old driver was graphite shafted originally, and I hit it the same way. I got a steel shaft put on it, and I hit it beautifully.

I will practice with this driver until I get it fixed, but it is frustrating...

So the driver is great, but the person who is using it isn't!!!

Cody: I had a similar experience with the 905T the first time out. On the range, I was striping it. First hole: I hit the fairway; the fairway left of the hole I was playing, that is. It took 9 holes to get the driver really dialed in, and for me to find my tempo (I was overswinging).

Second 9 holes I hit some sweet drives and found the fairway more regularly. Hope you experience a similar improvement.

I'm really digging the YS-6+ shaft, too. Great "kicky" feel.

Well, I now have a couple rounds under my belt using the 905, and I am much improved. I am still not hitting it quite as far as I think I can, but I am putting it in the fairway and getting some good solid roll.

I am very happy with my improvement, and I guess it just took some getting used to. The head on my other driver was about half the size as the one on my 905. I just had to start teeing it up higher and swinging softer, and things have worked out for me...

    • I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.
    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
