I do like it, and I will be keeping it just in case for a few weeks. However, I have been conscious for a little while that I have hit a plateau in terms of distance with it and it is just a little too short when playing off white tees at most courses. Fine off the yellows but a bit too short off the whites. I have whacked a few drivers from friends and family over the last few months and discovered that with the same swing on the same course I can get an extra 10-20yds. That is huge when you are a relatively short hitter. I played in an Open on Saturday and that was the final straw, I was too far behind my pp's and my approaches to the green were much harder because of it.

I can be fairly consistent with the Nike so if the Cobra doesn't play nicely often enough I will accept the distance loss and it will be back in the bag. I should add, my son can smash the Nike out of sight so it is not the club. It is the combination of me and the club. It works well but I need it to work better.

Are you happy with the G30? I've gone G25 mad in my bag and was tempted to go for the same in the driver but when Wolf posted his club up for sale it seemed too good a chance to not try it out.

I love my G30 but I haven't really measured distance to be honest. I got it because I can hit it straighter than the old one. I haven't tried a lot of drivers, I certainly haven't tried any newer ones than this one either. But I can hit without losing the ball 9 times out of 10 so I'm happy. :LOL:

As a wayward driver in the past I agree that straight and short is better than long and wild. 3 off the tee is no fun and it kills your card (costs a fortune in golf balls as well :cry:). The Nike has given me control but I'm trying to see if I can get control plus a little extra. It is worth trying.
 
Over the weekend......NOTHING. I tried so hard, you've no idea of the effort put in, but nothing. :(The wife however, went bananas and spend a fortune. :rolleyes:
 
Just ordered a Mizuno MP-18 MMC Fli Hi 2-iron with some vouchers I won at an Open at the weekend. Been wanting a long iron in the bag for a while after having success using my 4 iron off the tee on shorter par 4s recently so something a bit longer should come in handy. Looking forward to giving it a hit.

A lovely shiny blue Cobra F6 driver from Wolf that will add 20yds to my tee shots and turn me into a pro....................... something like that anyway :D.

It's been firmly deposited in the hands of the courier mate so should be with you shortly to give big Blue a bash. I'm gonna miss it even the the Mrs said but I like the look the blue one do you have to sell it 😂

On a side note my new driver and Wedges has cost me more than expected as today we popped into Audi to get her little S1 serviced, ended up walking out with a deposit put down on a brand new A1 S line for her... Her words were you got new clubs I need a new toy... For that I'm gonna have to get new irons and fairways 😂..

You need a cheaper other half mate!
My irons have cost me lunch at silvermere, a bottle of her favourite wine and a week away in September (we’ll use her mates apartment so just flights and beer money)

To be fair her car is due for either upgrade in September or paying off final balance, she was going to keep it as she loves it but we saw the new S Line in sport back today and it was so nice that we decided to cash in the balance and put a deposit on a new one.

Plus side is now she has 5 doors and the new one being the size of the old A3, going forward means I don't lose my car when she needs extra room.
 
Picked up a Ping Voss Vault 2.0 putter today.
I've always preferred the look of the anser style putters but had much more luck with mallets due to mishits.
My last ansers were the ping milled and redwood and I'm surprised how much of a difference the TR grroves make to mishits.
I've had the Ketsch Cadence TR in the bag for the last 3 years so I fancied a change but I'm holding onto it for now in case I need to go back cap in hand...

What gap is it to fill. I find my 2 iron doesn’t sit right in the bag. Mine is longer than my hybrid but shorter than a 3 wood. Both of which are more useful, I have to then drop my 4 iron which leaves me a massive gap from 5 iron to hybrid.

It's for between my Fairway and 4 Iron to replace my old Callaway 4 Hybrid which doesn't get used and is the same loft as my 4 iron so is pointless, but the 2 iron is a similar loft to my 4 Wood so not sure how it'll affect the gapping yet tbh. Hoping it's going to be a bit more reliable than the 4 Wood, which can get a bit hooky at times and planning to mainly use it off the tee on the shorter par 4s and 2nd shot on the par 5s. Was a bit of an impulse buy as I won some vouchers, so if it doesn't work out and I struggle to hit it consistently I'll just sell it. More of an experimentary purchase than anything else, and something I've been wanting to try for a while.
 
Been converted to the Bridgestone Tour B XS after buying a dozen following the My Golf Spy report. Love them, spin like hell on the greens and getting big distances. Anyway looking online Clubhouse Golf are doing a Tiger edition for £29.99 per dozen and if you buy 2 or £27.50 per dozen. So picked up 2 dozen with next day delivery for £59.99
 
After a fitting a few weeks ago at my course - Callaway Rogue irons (4-AW) to replace my graphite series irons
+ a Rogue 4 Hybrid - never really played a hybrid before but was hitting it well on the range
Waiting on a freebie gift from a friend being delivered (currently being couriered all around Italy for the past 10 days) - Ping G30 SF Tec driver, 52 and 56 Vokeys and an Odyssey putter
That then will be a new WITB... mais, plus ça change...

had one, got shot, 16.5 deg loft so closer to a 1 iron than a 2, after the honeymoon period found it very hard to hit TBH, esp off the deck, tee it was fine
 
After missing out on my UA bargains I decided to go on a little shop around eBay and my local pro shop
