Par4QC same here, I have even tried out a 2 degree driver from Bang, way back in the LD days and got that airborne with no issue. I have been able to take a 9 degree Ping G30 LST, open it up and get a reasonable, albeit high trajectory. The nice thing is the newer heads are getting to a point where the spin is low enough to actually take advantage of the high flight and not balloon the shots so I’m getting pretty good forgiveness, high, boring flight and some roll out now. 15 years ago, I got high flight, ball would sometimes be behind where it hit in the fairway. I loved my DB455, but it was not optimum for distance, even though, at times it was the best combo of distance and forgiveness I could find. That all changed with the G30 and even more so with the Cobra LTD, but that guy just didn’t feel right. I need to put a Max, whatever Cobra we are at, a SIM and a couple of the Cally's to a head to head battle and see what happens. The SIM and the Max really have my eye.
sorry to thread jack. I hit the 959 OL and even at high club head speed, didn’t see anything compelling enough to buy it for me.
