Official MyGolfSpy/Cobra Connect Driver Challenge Thread


Recommended Posts

Last week of the challenge and I'm trying to get 2-3 rounds in by the deadline.

 

Ended up playing a local muni with 2 courses, I usually play the harder course but they had senior leagues this evening so I played the second course, it's much easier and has HUGE fairways compared to what I'm used to.

 

The Cobra F7+ driver did its job as I hit 13/13 fairways....yep 100% fairways hit including the 18th hole where I usually lay up with a 4 hybrid because a driver requires a 240 yard carry that plays into an uphill landing area....but this is a driver challenge not a lay up challenge and since I hit every fairway leading up to it I said what the hell and gave it a rip!!

 

It barely cleared but barely counts!! Here's what it looks like

I'm over the moon happy with this driver!! You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!!

 

Here's the stats for today's round

They are trying to give Team Lexi a glimmer of hope by delaying the announcement 🤣

Team Lexi may be losing on the scoreboard but they're winning in my heart with the best mascot.

By the way Stroker..I found your wish today too!!

 

The course at the muni I,played today had never had anyone with the Cobra Connect or Arccos driver app play it, so I am the King on all 13 holes I hit driver on!!

That wouldn't do me any good, I'm out of town for work all next week and wouldn't be able to play...so that would have me missing 2 weeks of play.

My best shot on Saturday according to Arccos... I think I hit a tree or tree root or something. ;)

 

One thing I noticed about the app....at least the Android version (side note: why do companies always have better/different versions of their apps on iOS ???)

 

Sometimes it loses connectivity and stops.

This happened to me on Saturday.

Open the app, download the course, pick the tee color, start new round.

Phone in my pocket and everything is okay.

Get to the 3rd hole and notice that the app has stopped. It's not running at all - not even in the background.

I have to reopen the app, and basically start again. It picks up the hole you're on, but you end up with 2 "rounds" instead of one. It's happened to me a few times and I'm not sure why. Maybe I have some other stuff on my phone interfering with it.

 

Missed KOH again... 9 yards this time... it's just not meant to be... Maybe if they build a new course and I'm the first one to ever play it. :lol:

Wow I think I missed this drive?!

Yeah... I was surprised to see it on there really.... I think it was the "goat hole" where it hit the tree and bounced forward or something.

Well spies, tomorrow is the last day of the 4 week challenge.  I'll be on vacation and playing a round at a nice club about 40 minutes away.

I'm half-sick, bad knee and bum shoulder but I'm hoping to get a KOTH (haha!)...

 

Let me know if there is anything you want me to pay attention to or test out in this final round !!

 

Looking forward to getting this last one in the books and hope I can find a good amount of fairways.

 

 

I think that these are the 4 weeks of the challenge:

 

Friday Aug 18 --> Thursday Aug 24

Friday Aug 25 --> Thursday Aug 31

Friday Sep 01 --> Thursday Sep 07

Friday Sep 08 --> Thursday Sep 14

 

Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

I got out for my final round of this challenge this afternoon and my King F7+ continued to impress!

 

With my previous gamer I averaged about 245-250 off the tee with a few getting out to 260-270 range, since putting the F7+ in the bag I'm averaging 255-265 but more impressive are the bombs that I've managed to get out to the 280+ range!!

 

But not only is this driver longer, it's deadly accurate! I feel like I can split any fairway, I have complete confidence with this club in my hand.

 

Here are my stats for today's round

Image1505353752.162652.jpg

 

Yep, 12/13 fairways hit!! Plus I captured another 3 King of the Hole Awards!!

 

After I finished today's round there was a small coronation ceremony, but not to worry, I'll be a very fair and generous King!

2 👑 King of the Holes 👑 yesterday at my home course!

 

But this one was by far my best drive with the F7 + challenge.

 

There is a "DJ Line" on #13 and I said why the hell not.

The other 👑 KOTH 👑

arccosknows-1.jpg

 

Although I choked with the flat stick on the #15th it was a good round...for me anyway. 2 pars/5 bogs/1 double /1 triple (damn 3 putt)

I'm sad that the Challenge is ending, especially considering the interruptions we've faced with Harvey and Irma.

 

I'm even more sad that I won't be able to suit these new UST Mamiya ATTAS Cool shafts up for a test drive during Challenge time.

 

Selfish plug, I will have my thoughts on my Instagram. 🤷🏻‍♂️ IMG_3756.JPG

It is a shame this lil challenge is coming to end.

Special thanks go to MGS staffers and Cobra/Puma for the chance to participate.

Getting the Cobra King F7+ was awesome, but the best part to me was getting to know other spies and the

friendly banter that arose over the past few weeks. 

Maybe this challenge will lead to other similar competitions so spies get to know other spies. 

Special thanks to my fellow challengers #TeamRickie (BryanGolf, TBT, TVGolfer and Digiburdie)

and my own #TeamLexi brothers EthanSterlingPrice, J-Wurz and StrokerAce
This has been a fun ride and I can't wait to do it again.
You guys are all bombers and should be on the Hooters Tour =)

I don't know if following along was as fun for yall, but it was sure was a blast.

Good luck to all of ya!

Alright Spies.... my final statistics in the Cobra Connect challenge!

 

It was a ton of fun and - much to my wife's dismay - I got to play a lot of golf.

There were some holes where I would typically not hit driver but I did anyway to get stats built up into the app.

 

This isn't a typical club review but I will share my thoughts about the driver.

 

- Cobra Golf states that the majority of golfers will probably end up with the F7 (instead of the plus) and I'd bet that a lot of fitters put their clients into the F7.  I'm not sure that's the best way to go. 

There is a distinct visual difference between the 7 and the 7+.  The size difference is minor but the 7 has a glossy sheen vs the matte on the plus and, visually, I think this makes the plus look smaller.  If you are considering either of these I strongly suggest you try them both; don't read too much into the fact that the plus is targeted towards "better" players.  I made that mistake and kind of regret it.... my fitter put me into the 7 but if I had to do it again I'm 99% sure I'd go with the plus with the black matte head.  Put this one on your short list to try.  At less than 300 bucks this is the best deal going.

 

- Get the right shaft.  There are loads of choices online. If you can get fitted do it.  Nuff said here

 

- The connect sensor in the grip is very cool. If you've never tried technology/statistical tracking it's fun and it is hard to believe it comes free with the driver.  The app is easy to download on both iOS and Android. The hole "I can't play with my phone in my pocket" thing is overblown.  I had the same thought too... but it took about 5 minutes and I didn't even notice it being there.  It really is not that much different than having tees, ball markers, etc. in your pocket.  Don't let that stand in your way...you'll be missing out.

 

- The Arccos app on Android is kind of flakey sometimes.  I'd say that on about half the rounds I used it the app stopped and I had to restart it.  This could be my phone or something but it was kind of annoying (I have an Android).  The tracking is good MOST of the time, but you will need to review your round when you're done and possibly edit it.  A couple of times it thought my second shot was my drive and I had a 390 yard drive (HAHA!)....  It is easy enough to edit but be sure to review your round when you're done.

 

- There are 3 weight ports and you typically only get 1 with the driver; the other 2 are "blanks".  You can get different weights but the stock weight is 12g; you can also buy additional weights.  One of the big things I think they missed on this was not having a 'fade' weight port.  There is a spot in the front and back to manage the spin and a spot for a draw but if you want to set it up for a fade you need to do something tricky with the weights...

 

BIG SHOUT OUT TO MYGOLFSPY FOR CHOOSING ME AS A CONTESTANT.  It was a thrill and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Congrats to both Team Rickie and Team Lexi...the competitive nature was a lot of fun and I hope there are more of these in the future.

 

Finally -- thanks to you, fellow spies, for following along and interacting along the way.  Hope it was fun and we were able to give you some good insight on the Cobra F7.
