  1. Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5. However, I have an old, center shafted Ping Craz-E that gets brought out when my other putters misbehave.
  2. Ok, this is probably my first legit post outside of trying to get picked for testing something but I felt compelled after reading all 77 (well, I guess it was actually 74 or 75 when I started reading) pages of this topic. I actually had a PLB in R flex so I put it in an adapter and took it out to try in a TM Stealth driver. It was okay but nothing earth shattering. I’m normally a low ball hitter so a little more elevation was nice but, not being totally blown away, I stuck the Ventus Red back in it and kept on hitting my Cobra LTDx that has an XCaliber Avalon 5 in it. I couldn’t quite get this OP notion out of my head, though, having recalled many years ago when I hit a Callaway Duece with an L Flex shaft that belonged to a young lady who worked for me and just how well I hit it. Instead of immediately ordering a new PLB, though, I went surfing around and found this: For $35 I thought, why not? I bought one in L flex, put it in the Stealth driver (I used the Stealth since it’s 10.5 degrees and my Cobra is 12 because, remember, I’m a low ball hitter) and, this time, it was magic. I was hitting the ball higher and further than I have in a long time (I just turned 60) and carrying obstacles that I’ve been laying up in front of for a couple of years. I don’t have launch monitor data or anything like that but when I can carry the bunker on the right side of number one at my home course, I’m definitely banging it further than usual. I’d guess that my average drive is somewhere in the neighborhood of 240-250. Over the past weekend, I had several that were 270 and one that was a little over 290. That’s all the data I really need to be satisfied that, for me at least, this OP experiment works. Now that I’ve fallen into this rabbit hole, I’ve ordered a new, lower lofted Cobra driver, a PLB in L flex and an MP5 in L flex as well. Now, if I could get someone to indemnify me against loss when my wife finds out what I’ve spent, I’d be in good shape. Howard
