    Hello all,
    while it’s 49 here right now here in VA, the wind is picking up and it’s Sunday. Trying to decide on whether or not to go anywhere or just take a chill day and relax. Leaning more towards relaxing since working to get our chicken coop back to good order after the crazy wind storm last week. Improvised with what the wife wanted to do by having the little tikes houses made into shelters for the chickens now. We are trying to figure out where to move the coop now so we don’t have to worry about our pups running around trying to herd them while they’re in the coop. That’s been fun. Stay warm today folks.

    ... Sure, my point being TaylorMade has never promoted forgiveness first. Even FARgiveness promotes longer first. But Ping has been promoting it the other way around with forgiveness and then distance. (They all say distance of course) While Callaway just insists they are the best in every category and Titleist the best for better players while Cleveland the best for average players and PXG the best for high rollers and now almost a margin brand while trying to maintain the money is no object image. They all lie while telling the truth. 🤪

    To be fair, they never came out and said “forgiveness”. They called it “Fargiveness” last year. That’s why they put a video out with the tour players trying to not hit the center of the face and Tiger just couldn’t do it. But it was to show how far they could still hit it with the forgiveness across the face. So no they didn’t come out and try to sell “forgiveness” in that exact word.

    Greetings Spies,
    Late to a good morning post. I was puttering around an empty house while SWMBO is snowshoeing in Wyoming. It is strangely quiet since Riley passed. I got a light workout in. I will be making my lasagna, a family favorite, for my brothers in law. We will be watching some football. I watched the first half of yesterday’s blowout first game. I missed the second game. I’m not a Peacock subscriber and don’t have the desire for yet another streaming subscription. The price isn’t the issue but the attitude of the NFL on selling the playoffs to the highest bidder has put me off. I’m sure the future will be all playoffs will have to be paid for. That will simply free up some time for me to do something else.
    Wishing all a wonderful day!

    It’s probably the most unknown territory though. It’s like the Takomo Driver when I came out, unknown of what it might be like or if it could even compete with the big names.

    It's funny, I said either the TM or Cobra yesterday when this popped up, mainly because I haven't played either before. I was bored earlier and did the online fitting on MGS thru the True Fit and it said I should be hitting the Stealth 2 HD or the AeroJet LS.
    The new ones may be on the list this year to give a go.

    When they first showed us what the drivers were called and looked like  I was sure I wasn't going to get another driver for 2024. Then I thought Wow! the Darkspeed looked so nice as I have always thought Cobra put out some nice looking drivers especially their limited Edition ones. I have played all of last years drivers and I have had goof results from all of them . I don't want to go with just looks alone but the Callaway face tech is very intriguing, plus all of my other woods are Callaway and I want to keep my set evenly matched as much as possible.  PING looks too big as I do like how they made it look like the LST model with the carbon wrap. Oh and the fins well you either hate them or love them. 
    TaylorMade would always brag on how much more forgiving and longer their new drivers were from the last years model and now they all I hear about is that the Stealth and Stealth 2 + were not all that forgiving compared to the Qi10. With the issues with the face that they have had I'm staying away from them plus the bottom looks cheap but top view looks a bit like a Titleist driver which is good if you like a shinny crown.
    Well enough belly aching for now as I went with the Paradym Ai Smoke Max D but nothing more to say as I have got well over 2 more months to wait before I see any warm weather again. So whatever anyone decides to get I'm sure their is a good reason for their purchase.

    There really needs to be an option for “I don’t know because I haven’t hit any of them yet” Going purely off looks is meaningless. Also, what shaft options are available. Without a fitting, even online it’s really a guessing game. I get the excitement around new releases but if it doesn’t perform better than what’s in the bag it won’t be purchased.

    I was using the vice tour ball but switched to the vice pro. I have some of the Wilson triad balls which I believe were in the top 3 under 40 bucks. Going to give those a go when it starts warming up this year. 
     
    to your point about low lofted clubs, I have a 9 degree driver head. I’ve also lofted my 5 and 7 woods down as well to their lowest loft. But I can tell you I need more loft in my irons now cause roasting a 7 iron 198 and hitting it flush, pretty sure I need to not be using a 28 degree 7 iron.
