Well over the last month or so I have had nothing but problems with my driver. Going every which way.  Come to find out the shaft was spinning on the head. Took it to golf Galaxy and hey said they might be able to fix it but it wouldn't be guaranteed.  So I said screw it I have been working crazy hours let's try some nicer drivers.  I grabbed a fly z+, xr, and te vapor fly. And the matching 3 woods all stiff and reg flex.  Found out the regular flexed to much for me causing me to slice more so I went to a stiff shaft.

The fly z+ felt nice shots were nice about 260-265 

the xr I couldn't hit well at all going everywhere and slices and Mile high bombs 

then I grabbed the vapor fly. After the first shot the driver felt so nice! And a few more balls wee coming off the head at 120 mph 2250rpm and I had a pretty nice little draw (never happens)  so I bought it and going to go back and get the 3 wood next week

 

so I just got home from the range worked on a lot of sand and pitching and putting. Then went to hit the driver. I can control if I want a draw or a hook.  I swing somewhat hard. And this driver was shooting arrows it felt so good to be able to hit a nice drive that goes straight and has some good distance.  

So far it was worth every penny to purchase this driver.

Hopefully gonna go play a round Saturday after work or Monday before work. We will see if I can keep it on the fairway!

Great to hear you've found the stick for you and hope the 3W is as good. Love the way the Nike Vapor clubs look with the blue and neon. For me it was changing the shaft that sorted my driving (well, minimised the bad shots) rather than the head, but there were definitely some that felt miles better than others. Enjoy the clubs :-)

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
