GolfSpy Barbajo Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So it likes like all the new drivers are either out or at the very least out from under embargo.... So what's on your "must demo" list? For me, I'm currently bagging the Wilson FG Tour F5 -- the thing is legit! Have demoed the M1 - meh (full disclosure, I've never hit a TM club well - it's between the ears) Have also demoed the Cobra King Ltd - liked it WAY more than the M1, but I liked last year's FlyZ+ better - so I'm VERY anxious to try to F6 and F6+. Have not hit the Great Big Bertha (although I did pick up a 2015 BBDBD for a song at the seasonal Golf Discount Warehouse - like I needed another driver!) I liked the Nike Vapor series of drivers, so I'm kinda anxious to see and test out the Vapor Fly Swedish National series... What about youse guys?

apprenti23 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Must try list- King LTD, F6+, FG Tour 5, and Ping i series. Not impressed and hit- GBB, M1, 745, New Vapor (sounded atrocious and looked cheap). Still great and short list- G30 & 816 DBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyNiblick Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I can honestly say, none over here. It's only thought for now, but I'm thinking about a 14º persimmon 2-wood. Maybe it's time to get back to my roots as I run out the string. I saw Wladimer Klitschko get upset by a seven-foot Englishman yesterday. He just got old overnight, and he's 39. I'll be seventy on my next birthday. How the hell much time on the links do I have left? Patriots versus Denver tonight, and we're playing with half the team on whatever football calls the DL--IR I think? I can't take a Patriots loss after my man Klitschko got beat. Sorry to hijack the driver thread--I'm not quite myself today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckymeyer Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 King LTD, F6+ and M1 are on my must hit list. Really hoping either the King LTD or F6+ is a good fit. I've never been a big fan of Cally drivers but I've heard the DBD is pretty good. The really hard part is that I hit my SLDR so good I don't have a ton of hope that I can beat it. The quest will always continue though because if I do find something better it's going to be pretty special.

KCLeo12 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I have hit most of the new offerings and once I call Cobra in January to verify my Fly Z+ shaft tip will work with the F6+ Pro I will be ordering it. Or I may just pre-order it like I did the Fly Z+ and swap the shafts around later. Pretty sure the will be going with the Tour Blue 75x.

McaseyM Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hmmmmmm, I really want to try out the King LTD, F6 and F6+, but I've only played a few rounds with my Fly Z+, and it kinda feels like cheating. I couldn't mentally/ financially change out with so few rounds, but am looking to try some fairways and wedges. I'd like to give BombTech a go, but nowhere to demo.

revkev Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 What excites me most about the 2016 drivers is that they make the 2015 ones a better value!

Kenny B Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I usually spend a few weeks at the local golf store trying out new drivers as they show up, but so far nothing much has showed up. They had 4 Cobra Kings; 1 stiff and 3 X-stiff. No point trying them out, so will wait until more stock shows up. Nothing much from Wilson yet. It's also a little cold out now; highs around 25*, lows around 15* and the demo area is outside! “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Theoo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'd like to get a go at the M1 with a bunch of shafts to try. Hitting it with my sldr specs has me thinking it could be the one to finally beat it with the right shaft. The King LTD felt nice too.

PlaidJacket Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I stopped in a local golf shop this evening and looked at the Cobra King driver. It's a very good looking club.
