Here in the front office at FIXSports, we're pouring over bio's and stats - looking for that perfect draft pick. After some long days and nights, we've simply come to the conclusion that... there aren't any in this years class . So we resorted to some rather unconventional approaches in attempt to cull out what we could from this list of lackluster Cobra Connect Challengers. We asked the contestants to share their driver backswing - the deepest getting our endorsement.

The Kid (#teamvenomspitter), 8.4/10

Da Gai frum Bastan (#teamcuetheducboats), 8.9/10

The Contortionist (#TeamCalvesLikePhil), holy crap (9.8)/10

Thus far, no entry from either #TeamCobraOne or #TeamHammer. But here at FixSports, we are an equal opportunity enterprise and recognize geriatrics as a "condition" and worthy of special consideration. So, if the maximus rotation test is unfair and discriminatory, we offer any one of the following optional tests as a substitute:

Watermelon or Sunflower seed spitting closest to the pin (from 12 ft.)

Fewest grunts and groans while putting on your golf shoes

Fewest bathroom stops during an 18 hole round

Snatching victory from Edin's hands is there for the taking. We, and no doubt the forum at large, look forward to seeing whatcha got .

How about least shots during a round? Seems like a fair way to make your pick... oh and yeah, I shot a personal best this morning. Pick the hot hand Fix!

I wonder, if he were to play with a ball that's lower compression than everyone else would that be the same as a deflated ball?

Obviously. But he’d probably be playing non-conforming clubs with shaved faces. And build sand castles in the bunkers like Reed.

Just busting balls (to jump on the ball waggon "deflating balls"). We dont want to be associated with Brady any longer, he deserted us. Newton coming in HOTTTTTT

Trading one washed-up star for another. Bravo Bill!!

Vote has been cast. After seeing the tallies so far, I appear to once again be backing a loser. Way to go #venomspitter. You better kill it as we get in to the skills portions of the competition. And your smack talk so far this morning has been pretty weak sauce, so improvement is needed there.

Oh, you aren’t backing a loser, I can tell you that much. I don’t fare well in a popularity contest. People always hate the talented young gun. As for the trash talk, I’m usually asleep for another 2 hours! I just happen to have an early tee time.

Not even creative enough to come up with your own response there @CalvesLikeChesson, you had to copy @cuethesubmarines response. How sad!!

MattF · July 22, 2020

I’m pretty sure all of my fellow competitors didn’t get their hashtags quite right. I think they should be:

@B.Boston #cuethesubmarines cause he’ll be diving down this leaderboard

@daviddvm #TeamCobraFifth

@edingc #CalvesLikeChesson

@Headhammer #headcase cause we all know he won’t be able to get out of his own head.

And obviously my #VenomSpitter was dead on...

That will be the smoothest, longest hitting driver you'll ever own

I fear, that like most men, you might be overestimating your own length.

Let’s just get it out there now that I have no connections with the local PD or a state PD in [mention]GB13 [/mention]’s area. If he gets arrested during this competition it’s on his own accord.

That is all, carry on.

Did Brady and Belichick teach you how to lie for personal gain?

So modest young one

first he threatens to kill a guy now he’s the guy. I don’t think GB is going to make it through this competition without an arrest.

I am curious how many rounds are you guys thinking you’ll get in per week at this time?

At least 3 or 4, weather permitting... until I get arrested at least...

Well done, @B.Boston @daviddvm @edingc @GB13 @Headhammer with your introductions.

You were very thorough and I am happy to see that the competition has brought out some pretty high levels of creativity, trash talk, and possibly some decent golf play.

I said I would back @edingc throughout the competition, but the other four intros have made me hold off on the automatic vote for a fellow Michigander.

Time to thoroughly analyze, aka wait for a bribe, before making my selection.

As I said earlier, I won’t bribe anyone, that’s purely @B.Boston and @edingc‘s game. All of my followers have been earned honorably. You’ll vote for me because I had the best intro, and will win.

Question for the testers...As you are starting to get a few rounds under your belt with the new clubs, and work through the honeymoon phase, do you think there is another club out there that would have performed better for you? Example being do you think the SIM driver would out perform your Cobra?

I don’t think so, I was fit for the driver +1° with the draw setting, and my first round EVERYTHING went left. I changed it back to just +1° with no draw setting on the second hole of my second round. First swing was a 335 yard bomb. I’m loving the driver and woods (even the hybrid!) so far! The irons are shorter and flatter than what I had been playing so there has been a bit of an adjustment needed there. So far my strikes have been much better and more consistent with shorter clubs, however, my accuracy isn’t quite where I want it yet.

Ahh, yes the rangefinder on the course does adjusted distances for your shot, however those adjustments aren’t figured into your “how far you hit the club” distances. Right?

You need to check again Bro, they added that about 6 months ago.

Are you sure? This six iron on hole 6 was playing significantly longer than the actual yardage (about 180), yet it shows the actual yardage I hit it on the club chart.

Nice to see they factor out the outliers, but does anyone know for sure how they factor in weather or elevation changes for club distances? I've heard they do so for the "caddy" feature, but more asking about the general club gapping distances.

It doesn’t factor that into play for the club distances. I can’t answer why it doesn’t, it should I’m my opinion. Nonetheless, you are correct, the law of averages will give you a proper average in the end. Usually after about 5-7 rounds.

Well here we are, the popcorn has been bought, the previews have been played, the house lights have dimmed, the fanfare has played and the main event has begun!!

This years competitors have put their minds to the task and thrown their best pitches at us. I have found it very difficult to choose between them.

I mean do I go for the man with Phils Phantastic calves? Do I side with the man who's use of memes is almost as good as mine? (although using the children right off the bat is cheating). Do I support the man who is Cobra crazy and has the same nickname as me? (yes my real nickname is Hammer) Do I choose a combination of age, experience and sheer audacity with a side of one length clubs? Or do I choose youth ,a rubber spine and snappy retorts with wicked burns thrown in?

What I do have to say is everyone of you has done an outstanding job of your intros and all of them is worthy of my vote. But I have decided to throw the cat among the pigeons and give my vote to....

GB13!!!

Welcome to the team, Meme Master!! I’ll certainly enjoy having another certified #VenomSpitter with me.

Like the patriots, us boston folks let our on field actions do the talking...."we will see who the winning team is on Sunday"

That’s the biggest load of BS I’ve ever seen. Just look at the first post in this thread (after the intros). That doesn’t seem so modest to me.

I wanted to use the Dexter "Officer Doakes" meme but there was some of my sailor language in it.

I take it that you’ve decided against joining the winning team? Sure, great move on your part. Rooting for anyone else will be like rooting for the Pats this year.

Nice work on the intros @B.Boston, @daviddvm, @edingc, @GB13, and @Headhammer. It's always difficult to balance personal history, baseline stats, new club pics, and laughter throughout but you all did a fine job.

It was a very tough choice to pick one winner for the intros but in the end I went with...
