My first question is: was the height on your 9 degree better than the 10.5 degree? For what it's worth, I bought a 10.5 LD-F a few weeks ago. I had been using a 12 degree driver. I was surprised at how easy it was to get the ball up with the 10.5 driver, certainly as easy as with the 12 degree, which was last year's Cobra F Speed model ( I was fitted last year by a Cobra staff member ). I contribute this not to suggest that your loft is too high, that's something for you to determine, but with the purchase of this year's Cobra model, I found it helpful to reduce the loft of the driver. I am very pleased with the LD-F. How do you like this driver?

The 9.0 seemed to be more like my 10.5 hibore xl. Both are stiff. Didn't try a regular going back today to try the drivers again. I like my hibore xl but I have cobra fp irons 4-LW and love them and liek to have baffler dws and have a complete line of Cobra. I know this sounds crazy but I like to have all the same brand. I'm going to get the baffler dws and may or may not get the cobra 3 wood and driver. I may keep my hibore 3 wood and driver. Thanks I'll let you know.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
