FAO Any Yorkshire ish folk

Forgot about this demo day but just had a text from direct golf. They have invited me/customers to the stadium in Huddersfield on Saturday for a super demo day the "new" launch monitor and 8 top brands
 
Went to the demo day at Huddersfield this morning.

Had a pop at a few 3 woods and drivers.

Massive difference in stats between different shaft/head combo's.

Only constant (not quite but pretty close) was swing speed 114. Fastest was 118, slowest 107

Nike's don't do it for me, don't like the sound. also not pleasing to my eye but plenty were looking.

R9 looks a nice driver but for that money No thanks!
There was more interest in this model than any other. Not sure if they were buying but lots wanted to try one.

Out of all the one's that I tried, I liked the Adams speedline (new model) it sat well behind the ball, had a nice flight & good distance. I always thought these were a cheap option, price wise, there isn't much between them and the top brands.

Now not sure on stats but what's the min/max that are the main factors for best fit

Back spin maxed out at just over 5500 with one club
Min was 4100 with a different club.

Side spin was 1700 max, 286 min with different clubs


Ave "carry" was 236 this was on all data from all makes with the driver and 224 with the 3 wood ?????

What should I be looking for?
 
The stats mean Jack to me.
In fairness to the lad that was looking after me. He wasn't pushing me for anything in particular.

He kept going through the stats and asking questions.
The Adams was the one I was most impressed with.

I went for a 3 wood. Now I fancy a driver and 3 wood :eek:
£400.... not sure that I want them that much.

He said that the results on the screen meant nothing if I didn't like what I saw in practice.

Now do I, don't I???????? :D :D :D

I have an headache LOL
 
Surprised they weren't pushing you into buying John Letters Vig!
They normally do!

With Beau Desert and Whittington Heath coming up, I reckon you ought to buy something that oinks you into the trees Vig.
;)

I already possess that club, that's why I went for a "session"
Got to admit that the temptation proved too much and I went back.

Now I have a club that will not only keep it out of the trees, It has helped me to sing soprano :eek: or will do when HID finds out. ;)
