Project X shafts are high launch for the most part...like, really high launch. I use an X-stiff shaft in my driver (108Mph) and I use dynamic gold S300's in my irons.

You are using some sort of fisheye lens. You'll need to use something of higher focal length before anyone can properly analyze your swing path.

Top Flite makes range balls. That is the only way I can look at the brand. I don't think I could ever have confidence in a Top Flite ball.

Alright I got it just now! It looks great at address. I can't wait to take it out to the range. Just swinging it dry, it feels very nice in my hands and through the downswing. I played an X-stiff in high school and I can't wait to start playing one again. The difference is me holding back to avoid hooking a stiff shaft and really laying into an X-stiff and bombing it. My average with a stiff has been ~275. I hope I can see that increase to 280-285 now that I can really beat the crap out of the ball the way I want to. I will post my thoughts once I hit it.

The new Nike 20XI-X balls are $30 a dozen here now, but from what I hear they suck. People are saying Nike really missed the mark with this one. Can anyone else attest to that? If they aren't as bad as people claim I'd give em a try. I wish I had a golf galaxy near me. I only have Academy and my local pro shop at the course, which is limited.

Cleveland 588 used. Check 3balls.com

Do you have any < 10 handicap friends who play them with higher swing speeds? I am really considering the NXT tour. I played the Callaway Tour i(s) a while back and it wasn't bad, but it's $45 as well. I wonder how the hex chrome compares with that.

Shameless bump, I'd really appreciate some comments and suggestions from some more people.

I play a Ping iWi series putter (the D66 shape). Pretty sure you can still find em new for $60 or less. Mine was near $100 when I got it.

I hope you really do have a 120 MPH swing, cause you're gonna need it to get that club to launch more than 3 feet above the ground.

An older set of Ping G-series irons would be great if you are on a tight budget.

I cannot even begin to describe how much your head is moving. Get a friend to put their hand on your head while standing directly in front of you. They would have a hard time doing that with this swing. The GOOD news is that your head movement is the only problem I see. You are going past parallel, but keeping your head still will restrict your shoulder rotation and fix that naturally. Keep your head down, keep it still through contact.

Presents me with the same problem, shipping. I can't afford to buy more than one dozen at a time right now.

Well, I DID put this item on BIN ebay (which I will not link per the rules), but I totally forgot about offering to sell it here. I will retract the auction if someone here wants to buy it (for less $$ too since I can avoid the fees). It's in great condition all around EXCEPT for one sky mark on the crown which has been colored in to reduce how visible it is (does not affect performance). It has an aftermarket Aldila NV 65-S pink shaft. Yes, it is PINK. And awesome. Deal with it. Has a new GP Multicompound on it in red/black. Comes with a "905R" headcover If you are seriously interested, contact me ASAP so I can pull it from the auction.

I've been looking and I found a lot of these thread, but none that were looking for a ball in the same category as me (in the present time, swing speed, handicap, etc). So here we are again. I'll make it easy. Me: 7-8 Handicap 108 MPH swing speed I like my low-mid trajectory Balls I like: Pro V1 Pro V1x Nike One Tour D Why change? Price. Need ~$30 or less brand new, not $50-60. I want brand new because shipping charges from used ball sites is so high I may as well buy new. Any suggestions?

First offer went unanswered and expired. Made the same offer on the same club except 9.5*. Same Mitsubishi Rayon M7 shaft. $70. Should get it this week...hope it's awesome.

I use Golfshot. I just emailed them a feature request and they say it's coming soon: live leaderboard. See what your friends are shooting in real time.

The whole thing. Club head and shaft.

Thanks for all the feedback. I just submitted a best offer on ebay for the M7 model. Hopefully it'll go through and I'll be playing a new driver next weekend!

Nice to know it takes the same adapter as the AMP. I think for the price I can get, I have to pull the trigger, but I have to choose between two X stiff shafts: Cobra Fujikura Blur TX 006 Mitsubishi Rayon JavlnFX M7 I want to choose the M7 because it seems like a more ubiquitous name. Are there any sites that do a head to head comparison of these? EDIT: I found this chart from Cobra custom options PDF. It shows the Fuji (high-mid right) and M7 (low-mid left) fairly far apart...so it definitely does matter which I pick. I'm going a degree lower this time (9.5* -> 8.5*) so I think the higher launch shaft might be better than the low launch. The NV-65 is on there, which is what I have now...and I don't think I want anymore spin than what that one has and it's right next to the M7. AH. WHAT DO I DO?

What shaft did you put in it?

My pick is gonna miss the cut. Haha.

My vote is for the 588. I'd buy one or two more in 60* and 51* if I could find em in chrome. The vokey swing weight bothers me. They are very different in that respect.

I tried out a Cobra AMP driver (9.5, Stiff) a couple of days ago and I absolutely loved it (in the simulator, of course). However, I really don't care to pay the new price on a driver. I have heard that the Cobra S3 is very similar to this club, and a website with comparison of drivers shows that the AMP and the S3 are in the top 3 in the forgiveness category. Also, I'm probably going to be moving to an X-stiff shaft and 8.5 loft as my swing speeds are more consistently hitting 108-109 MPH. My ball flight has been a bit high at times as well. I find that my best shots happen when I purposefully take an easy swing with my S-flex drivers (Aldila NV-65 and Aldila Voodoo by Titleist). So I'd like to hear some thoughts from people who have hit both drivers, or own one or both of them. How similar are they in the forgiveness category? Feel? Please post your swing speeds/handicaps as well, please. I think I'm willing to buy an S3 without hitting one if I hear enough votes of confidence. It'd save me $160 over buying a new AMP! Thanks!
