We are even planning out first buddies getaway golf trip. However my friends differ from me in that they don't have the same manic obsession over golf that I do. I tried showing off my new driver to them and they didn't get it. Which brings me to you guys. I've been reading forever and joined the boards like a month ago. I was steered in the right direction for lessons then and now i'm back to show off my first What in the Bag. 16.9 handicap so my bag is built around forgiveness and limiting the big mistakes. I love the new Speedzone Xtreme Pars and Stripes that I just started gaming based on 2 rounds played and how it looks.

You will always have lovers and haters, not saying they hate you, they just don't appreciate golf or golf equipment like you do. It appears that you take care of your equipment and want to improve your game. At some point you are probably going to want or have to move on and find another group to play with. If you don't they will drag you or your game down. Not trying to dis on your friends, they are just playing for the heck of it. Good Luck to you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dlow206 3,326 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Only met one person in real life (in-person) that has as much of a problem as me. He knows i have a problem too. He had a Graphite Design Ad-Iz for one week and decided it was too high launch so he tried to sell it to me. Made me hit it. It was hard but i was able to resist buying it. 3 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 10/6/2020 Driver: SIM Max 10.5 - Fujikura Ventus Red 5S Velocore (the real one) Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: Mavrik Max 5 - AW - Nippon Neo 950GH S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - Nippon Modus 105 Wedge flex Putter: LAB Golf Directed Force 2.1 Current Putter Collection: LAB Golf DIrected Force 1, HB Soft Premier #11, La Costa 1st 500, Squareback 1 (2008) Link to post Share on other sites
IceHawk 30 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Great looking driver and head cover. I still just can't get used to what they do with the topline, regardless of the benefit that Cobra argues it brings. I don't use Cobra anymore, but I really liked the old Speed LD driver and the deafening sound that it used to make on the driving range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDGolfHacker 6,993 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Welcome to the forum! Nice looking bag too! Just remember, not every golfer is into the hardware aspect. Some are more into the challenge of of the game, some are in it to hang with friends and some think it's a rolling happy hour.

Yep different shaft work different with different club heads. Now about 10 or 12 years ago some of the Titleist drivers were the ticket with a YS-5 or YS-6 shaft and so were some of their fairways. The older Cobra drivers performed well with a Aldila NVS series shafts. 1 Quote Driver Homna G1- X Stock Homna Regular shaft 4 wood Adams Tight Lies 5 wood Adams Tight Lies 24* Hybrid Adams A 10-OS Pro Launch Red R Irons 5 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex #2 shafts SW- Wilson Staff JP II 56* shaft unknown Putter 1997 Santa Fe rusty as heck Link to post Share on other sites

This experience as a young(er) golfer completely changed my perspective on shafts, and their overall impact on the performance of the golf club. Can tell you one of the ways I learned about shafts and the relationship to heads. This was just one example. I was playing the last of the Hogan metal drivers before Call Away bought them out which was a CSS with the green Aldila NVS 65 stiff in it. My bud was a Wishon dealer and Tom himself was in his shop one day. He gave me a Wishon driver head. We went through 15 or 20 NVS shafts trying to match the numbers versus the Hogan. I finally put my other favorite shaft at the time in it the old Pro Force Gold 65 stiff. It worked well with that head and the numbers were no where near each other but it worked 1 Quote Driver Homna G1- X Stock Homna Regular shaft 4 wood Adams Tight Lies 5 wood Adams Tight Lies 24* Hybrid Adams A 10-OS Pro Launch Red R Irons 5 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex #2 shafts SW- Wilson Staff JP II 56* shaft unknown Putter 1997 Santa Fe rusty as heck Link to post Share on other sites
ben310135 4 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 @SchlangoFett I just started picking up golf a year ago I have the rouge driver...I haven't been fitted yet however, my goal is to get that done this year to help out my game. However, all the reviews I have seen on the cobra speedzone for those with high handicaps have been nothing but positive. However, good to hear from someone just reconfirming this driver is amazing.

jkpigott 67 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Welcome and I concur on the challenge of friends that just don't get as excited about gear. Really like the looks of the driver and very cool headcover.
