I'm still kicking it old-school with the S2 (shortened 1/2").  I've been on a launch monitor recently, tried out the TaylorMade M2 and a few other brand new drivers, and none of them was a significant improvement over the S2...so in the bag it stays.

I went to a Fly-Z XL from a G30 SFT.  It just felt better and is so easy to hit.  Best hits on G30 probably had a little more distance, but the Cobra is more consistent, at least for me.  I am also hitting the XL 5W and 7W.

If I don't miss my guess, wasn't Cobra originally made by Titleist? Is it still the same today? If not I'm guessing that Cobra might not have a huge endorsement budget. But the pros, whose livelihood depends upon how their clubs perform, will use them if they work for them!

Titleist sold Cobra to Puma  in 2010. You're probably right about their player budget situation, although they do have PGA Tour players Rickie Fowler, Jonas Blixt, and Bryson DeChambeau on staff, also Lexi Thompson on the LPGA.

I think that most of the modern drivers are all so similar in terms of performance that people just stick to the brands they are used to,  or get the driver that matches the irons.  I think cobra make superb quality stuff,  maybe just needs some of the staff players to win a few big tournaments or a major.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
