I see all three of these around pretty cheap and im thinking about buying some LH models in my quest to be a switch hitter.

Anyone play these? What are your thoughts considering their costs now? they are all used and are avaliable in stiff flex as i prefer on longer clubs

Cobra S9-1 F Driver ($37.46) stiff

Cobra S9-1F 3 Wood ($33.71) stiff

TaylorMade Burner Superfast 2.0 21 degree hybrid ($33.71) stiff

I have a 20 degree Cobra Baffler that i use right handed and love, its just this site doesnt have a left handed version and since shipping costs overseas are alot i have to add a third club at least.

Well i guess ill find out on my own. I went ahead with the cobra's but i left the hybrid out of the plans for now - i got new spikes instead

So you normally hit RH but you want to start hitting LH? My dad is right handed but has always hit LH. The problem is that he hits pulls and hooks bc his stronger hand (right) is the upper hand on the grip when hitting LH.

i want to hit both ways.

well in golf, yeah i normally hit rh, i never had the options of lh clubs around when i was younger. my dad played right so i learned right. i was a switch hitter in baseball for 13 years. Im making the switch to protect my left shoulder. i tore my rotator cuff when i was younger and recently i hurt it again by swinging a lot i guess. in a last ditch effort i tried to shorten my long swing to help but it was too late and now over 2-3 weeks later im still popping ibprofen and icing it.

My Stronger arm is my left, i threw left, though i could throw right some. im semi ambidextrous. my domin leg is my right. i shoot guns right handed, i use a mouse rh, i write left handed. my first swing when i was 4 right handed even though i threw lh, i added the left at 6. i wrote with both hands as a kid til i was told to go with one. so who knows.

Anyway, a few days ago i did start light swinging and stretching drills though, nothing with strength. i have a lh 7 iron a mate let me borrow and ive been hitting plastic balls at the fence.

the goal is to hit all my long clubs LH driver - 5,6,7 ? and my shorter clubs RH 8-Wedges and putt both ways. i have an old bulls eye style putter but its rusted so i dont use it but i also have separate left and right handed putters - but ill get a new double sided putter eventually.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
