What I've heard is that it is low spin (with the right shaft), long, and almost as forgiving as the G20. The comments are that its trajectory is not as high as other drivers (i.e. the 913)  and it gets more roll-out.

Ahina + Anser = low trajectory with reduced spin. Dropped over 1k rpm on spin from this.

North Hills Country Club

 

      Anser Driver (9.5*)

      Anser 3W/5W (14*/18.5*)

      i20 Irons (4-PW)

  MP-T4 GW (50*)

  MP-T11 SW/LW (58*/64*)

        SS Newport 2.6 Putter

      ProV1x

Didn't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here:

Are there any players on the tour who DON'T use the latest equipment and just stick with the model from 5-6 yrs ago? I'm happy w/ my Titleist 905R and have tried a couple of adjustable drivers and can't get the ball flight I like nor is the distance improve.  Are the pros all using the latest drivers out there or do they stick w/ some of the older equipment?

Yes.  It was a few years ago now so not sure if it's still true but there was one titleist player (can't remember if it was Bill Haas or Webb Simpson) who used an iron they hadn't made anymore.  695 mb or something??

I also noticed that when Titleist came out with the 913 drivers that it seemed like 100% of their players used the 913 headcovers , but not all of them switched to the new club right away.  I think Stricker even used a 909 last year still.  It also seems really common with fairway woods ... if the golf digest "whats in the bag" feature is any indication.

I want to say Zach Johnson stuck with the 755 irons or something well past when Titleist started making them, but I'm not positive.

Well no fricken wonder why he's had so much trouble since then!  Did Elin put it there??  I thought she used a 9 iron?

He's lucky he didn't loose body parts, I heard Elin has a wicked slice.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

Uh oh. I'm going to make it into that spelling and grammar thread, aren't I? :-p I can edit any post at any time, so I'm usually able to fix my spelling mistakes. Not when two people comment about them though. Y'know, I could delete your posts as off-topic, destroy the evidence...

      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.

      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.
