LBlack14

Nice! I considered the Alpha, but decided to go with the new one. I miss those days when I could actually load a stiff shaft. 🙁

    I have the same driver....Alpha 815?, R flex, but have yet to hit it.
    The adjustable weighting appeals to me, especially if I go to a shorter shaft.
    Therefore, I really am excited about the potential / options this provides.
    But, no guaranty.

    I have an old set of FG17s that I still love to hit 🙂 Someday I will reshaft them with something current.

    Hmmm ... I still have two John Reuter, Jr's around here someplace.

    Release without a doubt the 455 is old too, I still like it though.

      Same here, however, with my life changing injury 16 months ago, I could not hit the db455 like old times.
      With my age, a come back will be highly unlikely.

        I have a 455 head sitting on my work bench. Keep debating to shaft it or sell it.

          All the Hos on this forum (including me) are collectively whispering, "sell it... sell it..."

            Well I'm always happy to help a fellow club ho. I can post some pics if anyone is interested. I believe it is a 10* with a minor mark top of the face.

            I still play a Geek FS2 and Purefit V450 now and then. A little more distance loss on off center hits than newer heads but still much more forgiving than 90s vintage stuff.

              My "goto" driver is my 455/vs339 combo. What the shit hits the fan I use that for a few rounds to get myself back. Distance isn't that far off from my current driver.

                Release Totally understandable. The more I think about it, the more I wonder what was wrong with the Exotics I had, I was realllllly short with it. That's not a characteristic of anything in that line, it doesn't really matter I suppose , but I still wonder.

                Either way, hit yours long and straight or at least to a playable second shot if you play like me haha.

                That's the same combo I have, the original VS339 in the 455db was an X, I do have another VS339 S flex of the second version. Currently it has the Harrison Mugen Blue 65 S in it. I hit it very well before the injury and now it sits in the floor bag.
