Went to a flightscope fitting with Nike Covert 2.0 plus TM SLDR, Ping i25 and Callaway Big bertha.


The loft up campaign was just nonsense imo as 10.5* launched like I expected, way to high. Same with Ping i25 and Callaway.

Went through 9.5* and 10.5* heads and shaft combos. Even went down to an 8.5* covert tour which gave decent numbers.

But overall the best I could get with all this new tech was 1 yard avg better than my current 9* driver.:eek:
best Dispersion was nearly a mirror of my own club.

Great affirmation. Fitter was a gent and very helpful.:thup:

Thanks for saving me a ton of cash as nothing is way better than I currently have overall.


p.s I would never pay £378 for a driver even if it gave me 25yds more and laser straight.
 
Yeah, shame I hit it like a Dog........

But that's some serious coin for any 1 club....and would the upgrade shaft actually make that much difference?

At our level ? I very much doubt it - or at the very least not enough difference to justify the price
 
Great result indeed, just goes to prove newer isn't always better for everyone.

On the other hand a friend mine just got fitted for an SLDR and went from 9.5 on his R11 to 12.5 gained an average of 15 yards with better dispersion, so he's a happy bunny.

Personally I don't see the problem in someone spending £380 on a club if that's what they want, it's their money after all
 
Fair play to the fitter for not pushing you into anything. Some serious bucks for one club I'd hit a max of 12 times at my place and significantly less in the summer. No way I'd ever consider spending that much

The Rapture V2 is two rounds old in my bag, and dodgy out-to-in swingng aside, when I middle it, it feels bang on. Very impressed. And although I won't be near your driver performance CMAC, good to know that pound for pound the rapture holds it own!

Love it, great result.

It scares me to think what I would spend on a driver that was 25 yards longer I laser straight..... Lots!... Car money.
