@tristanhilton85 ... HI!

Ssince you were hitting the XR and it seemed to give you the numbers ... what did you think?

I couldn't get mine going. Then after reading the thread, I stuck a Speeder 665 in mine, replacing the 54g Oban,  both at 45 inches, and finally, it started to click. My guy made the Oban a little soft - needs more tipping.  I usually blame myself, and I stuck for 3 weeks with trying to improve my swing (and I have), but this time it was mostly the arrow.

I've also been hitting it higher on the face, and Callaway told me ... uh, no, don't do that ... the sweetspot is not high on the XR ... go lower. So tomorrow, I will tee it lower.

Was wondering why I am not getting the most out of this driver ... have it down to 9.5 .. teeing it lower might mean lofting back up...

I did this last year at the same place and Ross helped me too. He was great. A lot of fun. I ended up w the Apex pros for 7-A and 4-6 regular Apex w projectX 6.0 shafts. Awesome experience given to me by my wife for my birthday.

I've been thinking about this and I'm kind of tempted to do this, even though I'm not in the market for new clubs. I think it will be good just get an idea of what kind of equipment specs I should be playing and just to learn more about equipment in general.

That's why I did it a couple years ago, just to double check my specs. They do a great job.

At what ability level is this sort of thing worth it? The three of you who went are all good players. I had my recent driver fit for me by a Titleist rep, although it wasn't as thorough as this seems to be and was done at a Roger Dunn (on a fitting day). A good Roger Dunn, and I'm happy with the driver, don't get me wrong.

The majority of visitors to the center have a handicap ranging from the mid single-digits well into the 20's.

Think it might have been less expensive for me to fly to SoCal, stay for several days, and get fitted, than buy all 3 Callaway drivers ... albeit one driver and a couple of shafts at preowned.

Food for thought...

Hit the 815 10.5 in Diamana S+ 60 S flex, and loved the sound and flight ... sound is precise, not loud, face is soft.

Of the three, I hit the 815 and the V Series fairly consistently, and the XR was more inconsistent. And that goes with my sessions on an LM ... V, 815, and then XR.

Can't tell you if any one is longer than the other until I get with real golf balls and a real golf course.

Glad I have 2 nephews who are taking up the game... they'll need a driver.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By WillieT ·

      I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.
