I realized that months ago I was going to test the new Titleist drivers and I never got round to saying how it went... I wandered along to my home club on a beautiful, warm summers day. Just a gentle breeze was blowing and conditions were perfect. The set up that Titleist had put together was amazing, with all the clubs and shafts you could ever want. Nothing could stop me from having the best fitting experience ever!! Did I say nothing? I forgot to factor in my own swing!! I was awful that day . It didn't stop Mathew Holten (Our local Titleist Rep in Christchurch, NZ) from making the most of the situation. After hitting a few with my Cobra F9, he had me try multiple different head/shaft combos and worked really hard to try and get me some gains. In the end he came up with a recommendation that surprised him. He also said that until the Cobra breaks I should stick with it. So here is what he sent me as the best option.... Titleist Golf Club Fitting for John Hampton. Location: Templeton Golf Club Fitter: Mathew Holten Fitting Date: Thursday, 12 January 2023 Driver: TSR3 9° Dexterity: LH SureFit Hosel Setting: D-2 SureFit CG Setting: Heel 1 SureFit Weight: +2 g Length: -0.5" Shaft: Project X HZRDUS Red CB 50 TSR Shaft Flex: 6.0 Grip: Standard Grip Size: Standard Size It's the second time Mathew has fitted me, I got my T100S irons through him, and I highly recommend him to anyone in NZ. Anyway that's what I've been testing and to be honest, If I was seriously looking for a driver I wouldn't just try one brand but you all know that otherwise you wouldn't be here

Wow this is a tough call!! I have been lucky enough to have played at many great courses with stunning views and great locations but Seapoint in County Louth, Ireland is a highlight. Especially seen as I beat my father in law last time up (with borrowed clubs). Another way to look at this is performance wise and there are a few of them too. My lowest score of 74 at home (par 73), shooting 5 over in a round when I was 5 over after 2 holes was fun too. But the best was when I was playing match play, was 5 down with 6 to play, and won 1 up. The team lost 7-1 that day so I saved us some embarrassment!!. Other than that, any day you can walk off the course and enjoy a cold beer with your playing partners is a great day at golf. There is a set of clubs waiting for you @GolfSpy_APH and lots of great beers too mate!!

That's awesome to hear, sharing the love and growing the game!!

Excellent group right here!!

A friend of mine is playing 72 holes tomorrow to raise money for Cancer research. I can see us doing this in the last round

I tried these at this time last year and ordered at set. The only reason I didn't get them was because of supply and shipping issues. They are soft, pure irons, ideal for someone who wants to work on ball striking and for whom distance is not an issue.

Happy New Year all... I'm seeing it in with a nice case of gout, which feels a little like...

Lets get this going....

So I know you guys are on a little snow break but how is the quality of your Arccos sensors? Any build issues? Any batteries dying yet?

Well I have been saying for a long time that the only way my driver will leave my bag is if it breaks (Cobra F9) but the lure of shiny is strong for me so I am booked on the 13th of Jan to try the Titleist drivers. They will have to be VERY special to find a place in my bag!! Oh and yes I'm still around, it has just been a busy and rough year with lots of highs and lows like getting promoted at work and my mothers death... I intend to get back to my usual full noise gif filled self and spread as much joy and knowledge as I can

Congrats guys, have fun driving yourselves crazy with this one

Well my two idiots, one would steal the balls so we can play chase and the other would have no interest at all....

Thank you gentlemen , I got good food, great gifts and lots of adult beverages

Thanks Jamie

My stupid phone won't share gifs so I will just have to wait till I can fire up my laptop for the fun to begin

A couple of stellar members becoming mods is always welcome in my books . Congrats @Golfspy_Lukes and @Golfspy_TCBI'm sure you'll both do a fantastic job and help keep us in line!!

A massive congrats @Lacassem, get out there and enjoy them mate!!

That's awesome Foz, congrats on both new arrivals

Well I guessed the T100S but I'm biased. Then I saw your little hint and I know you are a bit of a rogue sometimes....

Well I'm in again, I ran second in one of these last year so maybe I'm due for a good result again... then again I may have won a Callaway Staff bag from the US Open so maybe I've had my luck for the year.

Congrats Foz!! Man are you going to enjoy those clubs

Let me check for you, all I need is a copy of your driver's licence, passport, birth certificate, where you went to school and your first pet's name....

Just send you bank account details, your social security number and address to me and I will enter you quick smart
