GolfJunkie302 2,231 #2 Posted April 11, 2018 Another great opportunity! I am interested to see how this driver performs. I am going to bow out of this one because I feel that the Launcher HB isn't a good fit for me. I wouldn't want to take a testing opportunity away from someone who might be a better fit. Good luck to everyone!
