In glad to see it finally arrived and in the proper orientation this time. That's one good looking club and I can't wait to hear how you hit it.

For sure! I'm going to try and get out this weekend if I can find some spare time. I may bust out the tripod and get a few clips as well.

Boxed up and waiting for a return label lol. If it doesn't show, I'll probably just end up donating it to my FIL. He's rocking something from the 90s and has been asking about drivers for the past couple years.

... Update: I am still enjoying all my Cobra clubs still in the bag which includes 2 fairway woods, Hybrid and irons along with the actual Cobra bag. But the club that surprised me the most is the Cobra Sport-60 putter. I just have to assume the SIK face is the real deal because my putting has never been better. Not bragging but I can putt with anything and not lose much, but over time a putter with the right balance that produces a good roll on the ball will separate itself. 

... The best compliment I can give the Sport-60 is I never notice it. I just make putts using it and I am considering buying a back up since they are on sale for only $159 and I consider them a real steal at that price. I have used very similar putters before including a Cameron Newport 2.5 and a Nike B1/07 and the nike put a better roll on the ball with it's face technology but the Scotty had a better balance. The Cobra Sport-60 is a combination of the best of both.

... A follow up post. Having played them awhile now, my Cobra Aerojet 7 wood and 5 wood are too similar in distance. But I really love the performance and how forgiving they are so I just bought an Aerojet 3 wood. I may end up with a 3 and 5 or a 3 and 7 or go back to the 5 and 7. I will most likely be adding a 22* Ping G430 hybrid so that may also affect the viability of the 7 wood staying in the bag. Lots to play with and figure out what works best at the bottom of my bag. 

... As stated in an earlier post I am now playing a combo of Tips and Senior tees so some new yardages in the 200-215 range on 4 or 5 holes has me thinking different clubs may work better for those shots.

You're definitely going to be looking stylish in that outfit. I love the shirt, Puma makes one of the most comfortable polos out there. Not to mention, that hat is

Mine looks to be arriving Tuesday! Can’t wait to see it!

[Jnoble89]

Looks awesome, Sam! Mine is scheduled to arrive Wednesday!

... Remembering how much fun the competition was, especially the verbal sparring, I will be thinking of @Tom the Golf Nut every time I wear my *winners outfit*. It seems my days as an instructor were not over.

... Jordan Love likes 'em too! So much so he threw not ONE, not TWO but THREE passes to guys in black shirts.

Little update as my season is getting close to an end here in Wisconsin. My Cobra clubs are still performing very well for me, I am loving the irons and have gotten my distances pretty well dialed in with the wedges to the point where they are becoming aim and shoot. The 60* has changed my game completely when it comes to greenside bunker play, as I cannot recall the last time I didn't get out in one try AND give myself a look at a par save. 

Put the AJ Max driver back in the bag this week, and it is performing better than it ever did over the summer, highlighted by a 267 yard draw last night and another 255 yard baby draw. 

While the King Tec hybrid and I didn't initially see eye to eye, it has again been a solid performer recently. I used it for tee shots on holes 1 & 2 in my round yesterday, and hit a wind aided 255 yard bomb that left me with 82 yards to a front pin. Followed that with a 235 yard draw on the second tee box that left me with about 95 yards to a front pin. 

The 3 & 7 woods have never left the bag, and are both consistent performers for me, although I have been struggling the last few rounds with shots off the deck. That is on my swing, though, and not the clubs, as those are areas where those clubs excelled for me at times during the summer.

My champs swag is set to arrive today, so I will post photos of what I receive, and that will bring my Cobra challenge experience to an almost official wrap for this season.
