Just tested the Cobra Darkspeed. Ordered the X head with R shaft that was on the stiff side of things. Compared to my LTDx ls I was getting more consistency, maybe 5-10yds more distance and my misses (heel shots) were noticeably better. My spin numbers on the LTDx were a bit high, the X got me down closer to 2,000. I needed a new toy.
On the complaints about golf side of things.....I'm really losing distance in general. At least on this monitor (don't remember which kind) my club head speed was 89-90, ball speed usually between 123+128 at the highest. A decent shot for me was landing around 205, I think I got over 210 a few times.....so with the fake roll-out I was lucky to get past 240. It's my short game from 120 and closer that saves me when I'm playing better.

I know I've always been short off the tee and using Arcoss has only reinforced that. My average distance over the winter with zero roll is 202 yards. Of course that does include the topped ones or the ones that hit a tree and didn't go far but it reiterates that I need to find a way to get some more distance. Of course once the course dries out that will hopefully increase as we get roll but then there will be the jeopardy of longer semi-rough and penal rough (especially on certain holes on my course where it can get shin-knee deep) so anything off line won't go anywhere

That's why I don't really pay much attention to total distance, 80% of the year rollout is zilch. For me, there was an improvement in consistency and distance....both fairly minimal....but enough I didn't mind spending the money. I keep thinking maybe I should blow some money on the speed improvement programs.....even getting another 3-5mph on driver head speed would be nice to have.

I’ve seen the numbers from a +2 player flushing it. 1mph ball speed difference and lower spin by 50rpm, equated to 3-5yards if I remember. Given I only find the middle by mistake I doubt it in my incapable hands…. But it looks cool!

Callaway Preowned have another sale on and I’ve just bought a Rogue st ls 3 wood for £123 delivered. Says condition is only “good” but I bet I’ll be happy with it. Got the strong version as since I’ll be playing a links course I’d like something that will be a bit lower. Current 3 wood is the Epic Speed Max that I send into orbit.

Some amazing bargains on there just now. I was tempted to get a Rogue st max ls driver as well but they didn’t have many in 9 degrees with a decent shaft. Not paying loads extra for that Tensei Blue Pro shaft that 2 of them had.Oh dear......Good job I got a new credit card today

3 gloves from Skins Golf. £49.99 for their mystery pack ( different designs)
3 shirts from Caddy Couture £45 for all 3
Towel from Bombs Away Golf. £22
Not sure on quality, etc but seem to have good reviews and all seen on instagram

Never bought anything from Callaway pre-owned. What's the grading like for the clubs? I'm looking for a hybrid and they have a Rogue 20 in average condition for £52! Not sure whether to take a gamble on it.

I bought an 11 wood on the Callaway pre-owned site a year or two ago.....looked like a new club.

I've bought a few things from them which were graded as average and they looked brand new.

Think I'll go for it. It'll be below average after I've hit a few times anyway
