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.

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
