I don't know what my actually handicap is.  I put 20 when I signed up on here but I can be anywhere from 80's to 100's.  So, I consider myself a high handicapper.

I bought some Cobra S3 Max clubs at the start of the season because they were designed for Mid-High Handicappers.  I really like them and I hit them well.

But I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should have gotten the plain Cobra S3's which I guess are designed more for Mid-Handicappers.

Here's the deal, I will probably never be a scratch golfer and I will probably always be just a weekend warrior, but I work a lot on my swing and it has gotten much much better over the last few months.

I used to slice every shot.  I worked very hard on correcting my outside to inside swing and now I don't slice anymore.  I also have very good tempo now and actually "look" like I have a "real" golf swing instead of a baseball player swinging at a ball as hard as he can.

A pro told me the other day that I should get rid of my driver because the Cobra S3 Max is Offset and that if I wanted to really work on improving my game and become a better player and be able to "work" the ball, I should switch to the plain Cobra S3 which isn't Offset but does have the adjustable option of the Neutral, Closed or Open face.

I bought the Offset to help with my slice, but since I no longer slice, maybe I don't need an offset driver anymore?

I'm just curious what some other folks might think.  The Cobra S3 Max clubs have more offset on the irons than the plain S3 series and I do feel I am becoming a better golfer.

Should I consider changing to a Non-Offset driver?  And if so, should I keep my irons or upgrade them as well?

Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
