Popular Post palvord Posted July 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2019 19 hours ago, GolfSpy STUDque said: Actually, let me add to these a question of my own: Competitors, What advice would you give to forum members that would like to participate in a future Cobra Challenge? @Nunfa0 and @Bucky CC are correct with the main thing. If you are married or in a relationship, make sure that your significant other understands how much time you will be spending at the range, course, and on the forum. Having their support really helps. Secondly, be ready to be humbled. Golf humbles us all, but Arccos is another level. The honest data that you see after a round is incredibly helpful, but if you have played like crap the system shows you why. Over and over and over until you stop playing like crap. Third, and this probably goes for all testing opportunities, but understand that this is not about you. This is an opportunity to serve the members of the forum, not to get equipment. Being selected means that you need to be reasonably accessible, engaging, and thoughtful. I'm lucky to be in the challenge with four great guys. @robertson153, @bardle, @Nunfa0, and @Bucky CC all make me want to be a better contributor to the forum based on their hard work and contributions. It's nice to have us pushing each other. We all want to give you, the forum, the best experience possible. TL;DR: 1. Have support and understanding at home 2. Be humble 3. Be ready to work hard for others MaxEntropy, STUDque, Nunfa0 and 8 others 8 3 Quote In my Ultralight Stand Bag: Driver: Rogue 10.5° - LH - Project X EvenFlow 60 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff King F9 - LH - 5/6 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff Irons: King F9 - LH - 5-GW - KBS C-Taper Lite Stiff Wedges: King Black - LH - 52° 56° 60° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Stiff Putter: - Impact No. 3 Ball: Maxfli TourX Rangefinder: LX5 Watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost entirely equipment at this point. I don't even look at caddie recommendations right now. Arccos is nice in that I can see, for example, on par 5's, I'm not great at chipping but I'm pretty accurate with my wedges from 40-90 yds out. So taking a 7 iron and not risking losing a ball is probably just as good as taking a 4 iron if I'm say 215 yds out... That way I don't risk losing my 4 iron shot in the woods. My 7 iron is in play and I can take a wedge into the green and be just as close as my terrible chipping. Basically its a course management enforcer which is probably not as helpful for some of the better competitors here, but for me it really helps my game. Anyway, things like that are happening more and more often when it comes to looking at what clubs I'm most accurate with. I can hit to those distances and go in instead of just shooting at the green with a 3h or 4 iron every time I hit a bad drive. palvord, Bucky CC, sirchunksalot and 4 others 7 Quote RH: Driver: F9 9.0º - 14g Low - Evenflow White T1100 75G X Woods: F9 3W - Evenflow White T1100 75G X Hybrids: F9 3H - Aldila Green X Irons: F9 One Length 4-PW - Modus3 Tour 105 S Wedges: King Wedges 50º/54º/58º Versatile Putter: Sigma G Tyne 35" Ball: Srixon Z Star XV #cobraconnect19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PVD on my wedge wore off the first shot out of a bunker haha These use the same DBM (diamonized black metal) finish as my Maltby M+ wedges, which is completely different than PVD. The finish is actually part of the metal and will not wear off like PVD. If you combine my nines, I have about 15 full rounds on my wedges and at least 20-30 range sessions on my 54 specifically. They are turning a little more gray colored, but no signs of finish wearing off.

Haha. Another question for testers: When using new equipment, how much does the look of it matter to you before you even swing/try it? If something doesnt sit right to your eye (seeing the cavity of an iron, or the finish, etc) how long does it take you to get over it?

Also is there a club choice that you wish you would have made instead (ex: extra hybrid instead of an iron, or additional fairway wood versus a hybrid, etc.)? Looking at my club usage I'd have to say the 5 or 6 iron. I don't purposely avoid hitting either club but they don't come into play much on my home course. My old 6 iron used to be my perfect 180 yard club but with the F9's that's an easy 7 iron now. My home course is 6400 yards par 72. Hitting driver or 3 wood off the tee usually leaves me inside of 150 yards on the par 4s. The par 3's are set to play 125, 156, 151, and 178. No 5 or 6 iron there either. My answer to the extra club question would be the same as the question about the USGA letting us add a 15th club. If forced to choose I would get rid of the 5 iron and add a 62° or 64° wedge. Looking at those stats really shows how important being fit for a putter is. I've hit my Evnroll ER2 540 times since I started using Arccos this year. The next highest club is my driver with 147 shots (89 Cobra F9 plus 58 with my old Callaway Epic not shown above). Go get fit for your putter!

robertson153 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hey all Spies! Just been reading I. The background this year, trying to stay quiet. However, I have a question....... Do any CCC testers have an iWatch, Series 3 or 4? The reason I ask is that Arccos works like a GPS watch with the iWatch. Pretty amazing once you get the hang of it. I had signed up for the Link, then my Series 1 iWatch developed a crack in the housing so I got the Series 3. Also, are you using the Caddie? Are you playing the suggested club or are you second guessing and playing a different one? If so, are you going up or down?Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpyI have the iwatch series 2. Have used it a couple of times and it works perfect. Just don’t like wearing a watch while playing. Haven’t looked at the caddie suggestions so don’t know what I’m going to do yet.

russtopherb Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 How are you guys liking the bags? I know the challenge is more about the clubs, however those are some great looking bags in the intro posts. Are they comfortable? Functional? Anything you really like or dislike about them? palvord and Nunfa0 2 Quote In my Big Max hybrid bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h D200 6i-GW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 Tour S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palvord Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 17 hours ago, KurtActual said: Another question for testers: When using new equipment, how much does the look of it matter to you before you even swing/try it? If something doesnt sit right to your eye (seeing the cavity of an iron, or the finish, etc) how long does it take you to get over it? I have bought full sets of clubs only twice before. Both times I looked at the price tag before anything else. That really narrowed my market. I have never had a club that didn't "sit right to my eye" at address. The only thing it takes me to get over with a new club is if the ball doesn't react the way I expect with the first few swings. Have not had that issue with the Cobras.

The bags are pretty dang nice. More details to come throughout the challenge. Here's a hint: there is a good reason that the stand bag finished so high in the Most Wanted testing.
