... I apologize for misleading you about the replacement fairway wood heads arriving tomorrow.

I was wrong.

They arrived today. 

For real - super jealous. Maybe you could just mail me the max heads while I wait for everything else???

... To my fellow competitors (and potential partners) we all know what it is like waiting for clubs to arrive and I sincerely hope all of yours come in sooner rather than later. But for the rest of forum members I thought I would post a couple pictures of an entire Cobra bag for your enjoyment.

What pretty thing to lay my eyes on!  Only thing better would be my hands on them!

This would be me!

... Well honestly that is a little over the top isn't it? Putting all my clubs in bed with me would just be silly and I would only sleep with my King Tour irons.

Y'all want to see another one? 

In other news, I went to the range today and spend time on the putting green afterward. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on the full swing clubs except to say, they're pretty awesome. I hit all of them fairly well and can let you know the Forged Tec X are forgiving, I was pretty much living on the heel all day. I'm going to need some time focusing working on strike.

The main thing I went for was spending time getting to know the Agera. I love the look of it and like the feel, it's just I have a slight lack of confidence in it, especially on long putts. I really have no reason to other than I am so good with my current gamer. I'm a high handicap golfer with a mid handicap putting game. 

Today was all about simulating 18 holes of putting from different lengths and comparing them to the last putting handicap I had in Arccos (17). 

I hit putts from 6-39 feet today and put them in a strokes gained putting calculator and here's what I got. 

I'm right at my handicap putting so far. I think that'll get better as I go along, or at least I hope so. I love what Cobra is doing by venturing into the putter market and how innovative they are by doing 3D printed putters.

Looking good @chisag!

I see I missed some action today

Played nine with my wife and another couple, recap is below. Ready for my new clubs in the worst way!

Played 9 today and shot a 48, which was two strokes off my best of 46. Didn’t hit it well off the tee but putted pretty well. No 3 putts and only 16 total putts. We decided to play the back 9 for fun and things went off the rails and I didn’t end up keeping score. Was a beautiful day and other than tee shots I was really pleased with other aspects of my game. Need a range session and lesson with my head pro in the worst way. Once school is out for my oldest and the cobra challenge starts I’ll be getting two weekly range sessions over my lunch hour and I’m hoping that’ll help my tee game.

How's the weight and feel of the Cobra putter?

Man, these clubs look incredible! I am itching to get out and play so badly right now.

... The feel is excellent. I won't know about the weight and balance because it is 1" too long and I need to cut it down to my normal 33.5" playing length. Cobra sent me another grip since I can do the work myself so I should have an answer later this week.

Haven't heard from anyone on this thread in a while. How are the new clubs playing?? 

[CFreddie]

We are still here...just waiting on our clubs 

I believe @chisag and @sirchunksalot are they only ones that have gotten their clubs so far - sounds like Cobra had some backorder issues that have delayed shipments for everyone else.  Crossing fingers they arrive soon!

[JerryB]

Clubs came in!

Yes, 4/6 of us are still waiting on clubs. I have had the bag in play for a few rounds so far and initial impressions are positive. I can pull clubs easier with the three full length divider system than individual dividers in my Callaway Org 14, and my putter grip doesn't get caught up at all. That has been a huge plus. The only negative so far is that there is no velcro patch for my glove. I have been taking it off after every shot this year, and I keep going for a velcro patch because I am used to having one.

Okay all! Have a big of an announcement to go along with this and need the help of the community. The Forum Staff had a draft and now we are attached to certain testers. Their results will impact us... in what manner we want you to decide. Let's hear some fun and not too embarrassing ideas of what you think. 

Here is a little run down on how it is going to work. Each week there will be competitions for the community and testers to take part in. The tester that places last will earn his staff member a penalty as such. 

Before we announce who drafted who and so on lets hear some ideas of what the community can come up with. 

A few thoughts are play a no putter round and post the score in MGS VT, must record and make 10 straight putts in the circle drill and things of that nature. 

Fire away with some ideas! Please Quote this post so I get notification and can write some of them down!
