[ThatKyle]

Longtime lurker and had serious FOMO after not entering in this last year, so I'll finally bite and make an account. Here's my humble entry: 

 

Me: Kyle, an early 30-something LEFTY from Michigan where spring has been brutally slow to arrive this year. 

 

Current Set: 

Driver: Cobra Amp Cell 10.5 w/ Stiff Fuel Shaft

3W: Taylormade 07 Burner  

4Hy: Taylormade 09 Burner 22°

5-AW: Callaway X-22 w/ Stiff Graphite Shafts

Wedges: Callaway MD2 56° (bent to 55°) and 60°

Putter: Nike Method B2-01

Ball: K-Sig

 

I was recently went through an iron fitting process and plan to make a purchase decision on those and a hybrid/fairway wood upgrade by mid-spring.  

 

Handicap: 10 - Thanks to a slight job change in early 2017, I played more than I ever did in the past (70-ish total rounds). Started the year as a 16, got down to 10 by the end of the season. TBD as to what effect the long winter will have on that number but I'm hopeful 1-2 trips to the range a week kept most of the rust away.

 

Goals: Last year, my goal was to get to single digits. While I was close, it didn't quite happen. This year I'm aiming to: 1. Play even more than last year. 2. Increase my GIR and FIR stats, both of which are my biggest weaknesses that force me to rely on a stronger short-game) and 3. get to a 8 or lower handicap. Once I've hit 8 my plan is to finally enter my first ever actual competition through a local club or organization. Editing to add one last goal: Kick some butt during my annual buddies trip in northern Michigan. Photos I took last year for anyone interested.

The Full Bag Edition

 

Please read this one carefully gang, as it's a BIGGIE!!! And it's more than just a club review - it's a season long experiment in golf improvement.

 

Welcome to MyGolfSpy's 2nd annual Cobra Connect Challenge - and we're making it bigger and better than ever. We're looking for FIVE of you to spend the rest of the golf season with a full bag - yes, a full bag - of Cobra's KING F8 gear equipped with the ARCCOS-powered Cobra Connect System.

 

We'll outfit you with a complete set of Cobra F8's, from driver, fairway and hybrids to irons and wedges - all customized to your specs - as well as MyGolfSpy's newly crowned Most Wanted Stand Bag, the Cobra Ultralight. Your job? Spend the season with your Cobra gear and use the Cobra Connect system to analyze your game, focus your practice and see how much you can improve.

Year Long Competition

 

Our 5 testers will spend the season competing against each other for some great prizes provided by Cobra-Puma, and all you have to do is what you'd do anyway - play golf and work to shoot lower scores.

 

To start, Cobra will send you a full ARCCOS 360 set for use with your current gamers. You'll spend a month setting a performance baseline, and once you get your new Cobra gear, you'll spend the rest of the year playing, tracking your data and discussing your journey here in the MyGolfSpy Forum and on Social Media.

 

This is gonna be, as they say, a hoot!
