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?

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
