I'm going to buy a SoooLong 450 16 degree Spuzz Blue driver head and try a thriver again. We have some tee shots at our club where the driver is too long an...

I have a Cobra Max straight neck 11.5 as my current thriver, about 44" long. Has a left bias but I've been able to work with it -- most of the time. Every now and then I think I'll try to hit a fade and it's a dead pull-hook. Have a 47+" Adams 9015D with the Aldila Longwood for my driver

Here’s one hole. I drew my starting line for my fade. The tree I circled is very tall. I need to clear it, even if I give up a few yards.

Rickochet Geez don't send that head USPS! 😁

scotts33 FedEx should be just 1 day.

I don't have another reasonable option. I have no Fedex option and UPS is totally nuts.

Rickochet Here we go again. 😀

Rickochet If I was Don I'd pay you more for UPS shipping. That's just me. 😁

We get most everything online and we have yet to an issue on any USPS delivery from any vendors.

I did a UPS price check on shipping a driver head from KY to OH yesterday and it was $18.

That seems strange, I just sent a shafted 3 wood from WI to OK for just under $9... that was through paypal and I know they offer a discount but not that much?

I have been watching this thread. Having no other reasonable options USPS is it.

Im not worried. If it was something expensive it would be different.

DonM :🤑Rapture 3 wood mmmmmm. If I had more time I’d offer to buy it and have a 3 wood shoot out just to prove it’s still got it.

I've put my Acer XV Thriver back in the bag.....as a dog leg left/suited for holes that like a draw. It's a pretty nice looking and feeling club. Need to fine-tune the weight a bit more but showing some promise. Paired with a vs Proto 80. Good shaft.

DonM

45.5 inches of thriver. It sits 2 degrees closed as expected. When square it measures 17 loft. Just what I want for this experiment!

ode

DonM it does not appear to have that much loft! How does it look in person?

ptjn1201

45.5" and 17 degrees? It's going straight up. That would be cool!

DonM

LOL I hope so!
It's just the first try. this is the same shaft I play in my normal driver.
If I have to, I can load it up with lead tape and stick in a heavier shaft at 44".

It depends on the player and his swing. I have that same head in an 18° and I hit it lower than most of my buds hit their 10.5° driver.

I have a Cobra F Max Offset Superlite that is 11.5. It's actually hard to MISS the fairway.
