Nike SQ Dymo STR8 Fit

[USER1999]

It cost about £20 from iheartburner on the web. Not sure the alignment marks on it are up to much, so it may take a bit of setting up. Not too difficult, as it only goes in 8 ways anyway.

Have ended up with an Aldila VS proto in it, and will give it a go on Wednesday night. Hoping for a slightly lower ball flight.

I'll let you know if I think the adapter is any good.

I thought you were smacking it a treat with the combination that you had at Edenbridge Murph. Not seen you drive that well before. That combination would get you around any golf course mate.

Yeah, but longer is the holy grail of drivers.

Yep.
It's the burden I have to carry

Tried my STR8 with an Aldila VS proto last night, in an attempt to get a more sensible launch.

As I see it, there are two problems. First up is it badly needs re-gripping, a job for tonight, along with my 5w. I couldn't give it a real rip for fear of letting go of it.

Second is the hozel adaptor. Now it is meant to be identical to the one Nike produce, but it isn't quite. I have put it in the low neutral position, but it is sitting slightly closed. If this is the neutral position, then it is going to launch low and left. Not good. It certainly launches low anyway. It may be that the high neutral position would launch better. I need to experiment with the other 8 settings, as it may be that one of these will produce the flight I want, but it is certainly not as marked.

Sadly, I didn't have time for that, as I was trying to find my swing for the weekend when I have an important game on (no, not Sunday Smiffy, but Saturday, when I have a last 8 singles knock out).

At the moment, the jury is still out. The shaft will have a lower flight, but maybe too low. A good addition for links golf though, or windy exposed courses, and as it is a 30 second job to swap in, could be useful to keep available. The adaptor needs experimenting with, to see which position suits, as it isn't the one which is marked.

More work required.

That said, I wasn't hitting my driver well last night anyway. I seem to have developed a snap hook. Useful. At least the slice has gone.

Where did you leave it? Have you tried the cupboard under the stairs?

 

[USER1999]

Nope, as I can't get in there due to stuff stored in front of it. That said, I think I had it recently. May be it is in the glove box in the merc, with the 80s cds. Asia anyone?

Regripped the Aldila, so might give that a go tomorrow (if the course is open). Have also found a more neutral setting for it.
