Well, just ordered one from RockBottomGolf.com (I read a good comment or two about that site on this board). It should be here by Thursday. I hit one at a local golf shop and the setup and feel were great. I went to my home course and the pro there let me take a 9.5* gold stiff and a 10.5* gold reg to the range. TGW is across town, and they had a Cleveland demo day as well. I went there and after a dozen swings or so the rep recommended a 10.5 gold stiff. It is a heavier feeling club which really helps me stay on plane as I try to "muscle" my swing far too often. I completely agree with The SandTrap review - this club is straight! I don't think I gained any distance but time will tell. The improvement in consistency and accuracy at the range was awesome though. Don't get me wrong, I can still slice or pull if I swing too hard, but a nice easy swing all but guaranteed a straight shot of 250 yards or more even if I didn't hit the middle of the face. The tee box is where my game has struggled the most so I'm very excited about this discovery.

Anyone else here with one of these in the bag?

Good or bad experiences with RockBottomGolf.com? I was a little nervous about ordering from them, but I had read a couple of good comments here and the price was $219 vs $299 in the stores.

RockbottomGolf is one of the best online retailers for golf gear. I have ordered from them countless times, and have never had an issue. I know many of my friends have also ordered from them without ever having any problems.

Good luck with your new driver. Maybe being able to hit it so straight will give you more confidence to swing a little harder and get the distance you are looking for.

I ordered the same driver (only reg. flex) from rockbottom. Everything went great and I love my club. The only suggestion I have is if your using painted tees then burn them all. After my first round with the XL I had to rub a couple of white paint streaks off the black "chrome" under the club. Other than that, you'll love it!
I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
