Club review thread
I was underwhelmed yesterday by the new Cobra LTDX Max. Nothing wrong, but nothing special either. I've pretty much reached the point where drivers are drivers. Good looking unit.
With headcover and tool. 12 degree. MINT/NEW-ISH. I paid $179. Make me an offer?

At your clubhead speed you are right. No offense… and you know that. The Ping Rhapsody always worked well for you because it had spin to give you more carry. All the new drivers will go the same for you. Forgiveness?? Don’t know if you really hit it far offline to worry about it.
Draw models are usually higher spin too fyi

sdandrea1 Right, you don’t need forgiveness and the Max heads are all about forgiveness not distance. The low spin heads are no good for U either because you need the spin with your speed. It’s tough to find a modern low spin head that you’ll launch high enough to maybe see something good.
A cheap experiment would be a 12 or 14 degree SLDR head. It’s low on forgiveness… who cares, and low spin… but you can take the 12 degree up to 14 or the 14 up to 16 which will get you pretty high launch and low spin. I would LOVE to see how that works for you…. It’s all about maximizing the head at this point for you.

I beg to differ.
Have had the Darkspeed LS, Smoke TD, (have) the Epic Max LS, Cobra Aerojet LS, and a Rogue ST TD TC. Have hit all equally as well and as far, even farther, than I ever have. Today I used a 455DB 8* and hit it the same as any of those.
It's all in the way you hold your mouth when hitting them(drivers). It has nothing to do with the head/shaft combo.

Who's going to try it?
Cleveland HiBORE XL...$400.................
AI & turdulators ?
What's next... the return of the Square Heads?
These are easier to hit than they look. Great forged feeling. Old school lofts, soft landing shots. PapaD approved.

sdandrea1 To be honest, even though you might think game improvement is the way to go, some of us, me included hit the old school shaped/sized irons better. If you have any kind of skill level like you do Steve, I am not surprised you hit these irons better than a set of blobby wide soled Acers.

Interesting concept. Always thought shovels were helping me. I don't care enough about scoring so much anymore. Really just enjoying the game and messing with equipment and the buddies. I'm gonna keep these around. I really like the 8-SW.
