Had a very interesting custom fitting session tonight.

Decided few weeks ago that if I did ok in the Trilby Tour I'd look at a new driver. Figured after the result it was a deserved pressie to myself! :)

Had a session at a Callaway day a couple of months ago, and was really impressed with the Razr Hawk, so that was on the list. Also was going to give the 910 a go after positive comments on here, the R11, the Nike Pro VR and the Diablo.

Started with my current toy as a control, which showed too high a launch angle and too much spin. 210 carry.

Started with the Razr, which I thought would be the one. Tried the Alida RIP shaft and to be honest it felt ok, but not great stats. Tried the Diablo next with the same shaft which gave better carry and a bit more feel.

Then went to the 910. Loved it. Penetrating flight with good carry (226) and spin sub 2900. Then tried the project x 6 shaft and the stats improved further.

Then the Nike. Oh boy. Now I didn't want to like the Nike as I already have one and wanted a serious brand club! With the 5.5 I got a few more yards and similar spin, but with the 6 it jumped to 239 carry and spin sub 2600. we agreed it was my attack angle that was generating the excess spin.

Played the 910 and the Nike against each other again, wanting the 910 to be better, but no, the big swoosh was just longer, better dispersion and felt "right".

New Big Dog ordered!!!!!!

Hope it works on the next TT event......

:cool:
 
Jaymo, the Nike VR driver looks v good, just got the 2 and 3 hybrids via Mr RickG and love em already, knock spots off my bafflers.

Was it the Pro or the Tour version?

I was really impressed by the accuracy, and the distance, WOW. Never thought a new stick could give so much extra distance.

It's the Pro version, the tour would be a step to far I think
 
I think the pro is the better version as the tour can be had for about 149, the pro is around 279 online.

either way, glad you are happy with the results
 
Brave move to change kit after such a major win. Hope it goes really well in the next round of the TT.

Looking forward to seeing the new toy in action on Sky! :D

That thought has crossed my mind! However, if anything my driving was shocking, and it was a touch of the Seves that got me through.

If I've buffered up at least it looks good!
