I tried the 10.5 stiff today seemed like it went to high and then tried the 9.0 stiff. I always use 10.5 stiff. Has anybody else had this problem.

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 3 (5 Apr 25) - long day with setup and rehearsal for band’s church service gig tomorrow.  Got home to hit a very chippy wedges (from about 10ft to out to 40yds or so).  Focus was simple - feel the bounce and quiet hands.  
    • Day 187 - 2025-04-05 Got my time in today. Hoping to get a little more time in tomorrow, though. May get there early.
    • Day 14: 4/5/25 Putting through 50 mm gates.
    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?
