Super Tuna 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 To be released in April as a compliment to the black S3. This one rolls with the second gen Aldila RIP in white though I haven't a clue if it's any better then the first gen. I'm hoping the RIP sorts it out because I wasn't having much luck with the stock fujikura the other week when I was testing drivers out.

I'm hoping the RIP sorts it out because I wasn't having much luck with the stock fujikura the other week when I was testing drivers out. The Aldila RIP shafts have many different profiles you should check out. They feel nothing like many Fujikura offerings in my opinion.

Super Tuna 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The Aldila RIP shafts have many different profiles you should check out. They feel nothing like many Fujikura offerings in my opinion Agreed on them feeling nothing alike. Mostly I was curious as to which RIP is in there as I've tried the Alpha (liked) and Gamma (didn't). Haven't had a chance to whack the beta though. Aren't the RIPs Alpha (low), Beta (mid), Gamma (high) in terms of launch?

Long Iron Pete 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Cobra did a one-off ZL for Ian Poulter and then did a limited run of 500 units. They sold pretty quickly. This I guess is more of a mass-market release. MD, who share a manufacturing facility with Taylormade, are also going to be releasing a white driver. TM cannot patent the shade of white used and MD will be in the exact shade of paint that the R11 uses! MD version retails at £129.99 - compared to £329 for R11 (pounds sterling...) http://www.todaysgolfer.co.uk/Golf/News/searchresults/January-2011/MD-look-to-the-future-with-white-driver--/ Quote Driver: Mizuno JPX-800 10.5 degree; stiff shaft; Golf Pride Multi-Compound 3 Wood: Taylormade R9, stiff shaft (set to NU) Hybrid: Ping G15 17 degree; stiff graphite shaft Irons: Mizuno JPX-800; Project X 5.5; Golf Pride Multi-Compound Wedges: Cleveland CG12 52 (smoked finish), 56 (oilcan finish) & 60 degree (chrome finish) Putter: Odyssey White Ice No. 1; Scotty Cameron Studio Design No. 5 I also play a set of Titleist 1980s Tour Forged Irons with regular shaft.

skihippy 2 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Cobra has definitely out done TM in the looks department. Now if MGS would be kind enough to do another Clash of adjustable drivers to see which one is the leader in performance that would be great.

Long Iron Pete 0 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 $349.99 - compared to what price for the standard S3? (not from the states, £££ proper money!)

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS 668 Posted March 17, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted March 17, 2011 $349.99 - compared to what price for the standard S3? (not from the states, £££ proper money!) The difference in price $349.99 vs. $299.99 has nothing to do with the paint, but almost certainly is related to the shaft. The standard S3 has a Fujikura Blur (seems like the go to OEM shaft for 2011), whereas the white version comes stock with the matching white Aldila RIP Beta, which as mentioned above has a launch profile that fits between the Alpha and the Gamma. I've quickly become a pretty big fan of the RIP shaft (love in the 9064LS, love it in the Callaway RAZR Hawk), so in my estimation it's well worth the extra $50...assuming you like the white look.

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS 668 Posted March 17, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted March 17, 2011 What's your take on the S3 head T? Sactown - I actually just received shipment from Cobra two days ago. I haven't had a chance to hit the S3 yet, so I obviously can't speak to performance. Visually, it's not significantly different from last year, at least as far as the crown and sole are concerned. The face is a different story. This elliptical E9 technology they're talking about over there makes for an unusual looking face. I expect I'll get my first swings in with it tomorrow. I'm really anxious to see how the Fujikura Blur shaft performs. Last year's S3 was probably my #3 favorite for the year (I go back and forth between the ZL & S3), and my biggest gripe with it was the stock shaft...so soft and whippy at the tip. Cobra seems perpetually unappreciated by the golf community as a whole (though just about everyone who tests with us ends up loving the Cobra stuff), but I have no reason to expect the S3 won't be a solid performer.

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave 1,562 Posted March 17, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted March 17, 2011 I demoed the S3 casually at the shop, and like the tone a bunch. I liked the ZL too, but I just hit it way too high. Maybe either the blur or the white rip will be the answer... or a G15 Quote Volvo Intorqueo All the cool kids follow me on twitter: @golfspy_dave If you are not a cool kid, following me on twitter will make you cool...

Super Tuna 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Like last year I really like the head on the S3, the ball just sails from it. However I find it a bit deciving in that even though the ball sails, I didn't kind any difference in that pure sound other drivers give you when you really clock it correctly. I remember sticking my head up on a few shots and go "where the heck did that come from" I also found the blur shaft to be too torquey for me (it rates a 5.something) but when the head is paired with a Miyazaki/Ozik/your shaft of choice, then it really came alive. I'd say this is my sleeper driver of the year Quote I laught at your claims to fight a zombie apocalypse when most of you can't stand up to a Spider Link to post Share on other sites
Noonan 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The sole looks a little bit 'plasticy' and the face looks slightly closed. Will have to hole this opinion untill i see it/try it in person though. Just found this, really like the look of head from an adress point of view, anyone know any info on this?
