USER1999
Grand Slam Winner
I've been struggling with my driving recently. My iron play is fine, my hybrids and woods are ok, my driving is junk. Either snap hooks, or massive high slices. No confidence, not happy.
So, may be a bit of retail therapy is in order. It can't be me, it has to be the club(s). I have two drivers, and can't hit either of them.
So after today's round, I go off to direct golf in stanmore. I figure the TM SLDR, the cally big Bertha, and the cobra amp bio cell should cover most of the available options. All with the stock shaft, in stiff.
First up, the cally, which is similar in looks to my own xtreme. I like the looks, but then I like the look of my own driver too, I just don't like hitting it! Set to 9.5, neutral, with the slide weight set for a bit of a draw. I hit it miles high, way to much back spin, and it drops like a dead hamster. Probably carries 180 with a good one.
Next up, the bio cell. In orange. The head looks a bit big, but I actually quite like the orange. Worrying. It's set to 9.5 draw, and I can't change it as my wrench doesn't fit. They obviously use a different Torx key, which is annoying. It doesn't matter though, because this also goes miles high, with no run out. Very similar to the big Bertha.
Then the SLDR. I have high hopes for this one, as a friend has one, and it has added a lot of yards for him. I'm not keen on the looks, but if it goes, I could live with it. Set to 'loft up' at 10.5 degrees. Same flight as the other two. Goes no where, and balloons terribly. I reset the loft to 9.5, and it makes no difference what so ever.
If I had to play with any of these, I'd use a 3 wood, it would be longer.
I had a whack with my own driver, and was killing it. The love stick is back in the bag!
So, £6 for some range balls, and I'm back in business. New drivers, I spit on them.
