How much would you pay for a few extra yards off the tee?

Well done mate, you know it makes sense. I learned a long time ago not to be frivolous with money, but sometimes the pleasure versus pain battle clearly falls on the left side! Looking forward to seeing your reports!
Enjoy!

If it was me I'd be looking at other shafts with a pro somewhere to give you better numbers and then put that into your current driver. Got to be a lot more efficient and cheaper

That would be a good idea but the problem is that the main thing I need change is the loft of the driver itself, (my cirrent shaft is actually pretty good for my swing apparently) and that means I need to get a new head.

My current is 9.5 degrees and the R11 I tested was adjusted down to 8 degrees. Ive been scouting around for an Ping i15 with the same shaft as mine in 8* and I found one on golfbidder the other day but before I knew it, it was gone!

If I can find one of them then Ill probably just sell my current one and if it works out that could be a much cheaper alternative.

I've got an 8 degree i15 but it's got a Project X 6.5 in it, I'm thinking of getting fit for a 910 so depending on the results it might be for sale.

Thanks mate but I would probably want to get it reshafted as the AXIVCORE shaft and that would be fairly costly for a second hander. Cheers though.

Also, its a bit late now anyways as Ive only gone and bought the R11 TP!!! arggggggg

After the copious amounts of posts about how its way to much for one club (which I absolutely agree with btw) it was this post that helped me decide to get it:

how often do you play?

Try putting your real numbers into this sum;

Say you play twice a week, that's 100 times a year.

If you use the club 7 times a round, that 700 times a year.

Say you keep the club for 3 years, that's 2100 hits.

£450 divided by 2100 is just over 21p per hit.

Is 17 yards worth 21p to you?

Not because of the brilliant maths involved but because it got me thinking about how much use and enjoyment I am going to get out of this bad boy. I play once or twice and practice 1-4 times per week so she will be getting plenty of time to show that shes worth the money.

I also kept thinking that 17 yards and a more consistent ball flight is not to be sniffed at and will hopefully take me one (very small) step closer to my golfing goals.

SO after I got a bit of birthday money last week to soften the blow I bit the bullet and gave TM a call. Ive got it now and of course I will let you know how it goes when I take it to the links!!

Good on you mate!

If it makes you feel any better I'm just after handing my pro £620 on Wednesday for driver and 3 wood.

Can't wait to get them now.

Well, I do dress up and call myself Carol Vorderman at the weekends, but that's another story.

TBH my mrs gave me the logic when she went out and spent a fortune on a pair of shoes - she got it off Gok Wan.

And you can't get better than that.

Even forgetting the maths, if you get a couple of thousand moments of pleasure stroking one down the middle, it's got to be vfm.

Enjoy

I'm taking her out to the course for my first ever medal at my new club on Wednesday so will let you know how it goes!

I spent £450 on my Nike last year. Lovely driver and in a few years I'll do it again.

Best driver I've ever had.
