I would of never thought of having that combo of open face and draw weighting. I will try that on the launch monitor and see if its works for me also. Did you go to the Callaway headquarters to get fitted? would love to visit them since we are located just 30mins away.

Fit at Callaway Ely Performance Center. You can read more HERE

I have decided to get a new driver in 2 months. Why two months? Because one it is my birthday and two, I am rewarding myself and that gives me something to work towards. Actually it is 77 days until my birthday, if I take the money that I currently spend on tobacco I will have almost $400. (Extra) in my golf budget.

If I had to make a choice then the Titleist 910D3 is my first choice right now, but I think by the time I am ready to make the choice, it could very well be something else.

I am also having the d3 on the top of my list but theres also R11 n R11s.the pain in the ass thing is that the r11 has been pulled off the shelf here at many major golf stores so i can t get a hold of them to try side by side
but im definitely goin to change the Nike once it comes back so i guess its another driver another year. i was hoping not to buy a driver in 2012 but i guess not

I actually quit smoking jan 1st of 2012 and bought myself a Scotty Cameron Squareback 2 to celebrate. We have R11 and R11s heads here to test out at our shop but thats a far walk from Australia to San diego,CA

Good luck with the quitting and spend that money on golf!

I vote for none of the above. Why? Because after trying all of them, my Tour Issued Taylormade Superfast 2.0 TP with the Tour Issue RIP Phenom is still longer than all of them, by 12 yards at the narrowest margin (RBZ Tour was next longest followed by the R11 TP I played all of last season).

And I've figured it up, if I were to quit dipping Copenhagen, I'd save right at $2k a year (10-12 cans a week at $3.33 a can).

Gamed the Adams 9064LS...until last Friday. It was club-fitting day, and while the Titleist 910D3 was very, very nice (and a close second), the i20 is now in my bag (stock shaft, 45 1/4"). Great contact, distance and ball flight for my swing (+20-25 yards over the Adams). Sweet feel and sound. I could care less about its lack of adjust-ability. Immediately traded the Adams and an older Titleist 905R for a little scratch to help offset the *ouch* cost of a new model club- something I'd never bought before now. The Adams was long and forgiving, but the Ping is better IMO. Have I gamed it for a full 18-hole round yet? No. But I can't wait.

is snuff tobacco better than cigarette tobacco?we dont really chew it over here.

is the new tour issued superfast neutral in face angle? would it be similiar if i bought just a off the shelf tp head and have the face angle bent to neutral? i tried the RBZ non tp model and i could care less for the feel of that club.

Its a habit I'm trying to break. I'll say that.

I have a version 2 head off the tour van. There is also a retail version 2. Here distinguished by having dual serial #'s on the hosel. The difference in tour and retail is tolerances. Mine is marked 8.5 and it digitally lofts at 9.2 degrees with a 2.1 degree open face angle (the version 1's were 3.5+ degrees open). Mine was also COR tested and tested at the legal limit of .830. The retail versions have a more broad range of tolerance. That said, the retail version 2's are still longer for me when testing them.

3.33 per can, that is cheap, it is $6 a can here now. I am using the patches. In the past when I tried to quit after about 36 hours I was concerned that I would become homicidal and started back. It is now 7 days and not a real problem.



Now back to golf.

Now back to golf.

I buy it 3 cans at a time at that price, it's over $4 if I don't buy 3 at a time. I don't want to use a patch or gum or anything cause I'd still have a dependence.

And yes, back to golf.

battle of the drivers is compliment with the topic of battle of tobacco here. lol good to knw many of u guys out there are battling tobacco with me.

i will have to try out the version 2 if it ever comes out in australia. its actually quite a pain to get shafts and stuff here it costs a lot more and its harder to source

when u say dual serials u mean they have 2 independent serials etched on the hosel?
