BUY ONE, BUY ONE, BUY ONE!
Called in American golf today to pick some bits and bobs up and I got met by a stand with the mini driver on, so as you do I picked it up to have a nose at. Well as soon as I got it in my hands it just felt and looked fantastic, so I got it taped up and headed to the range with it, armed with my driver and 3-wood.
Hit my 3 wood to get an idea of distance and the same with my driver. I was hitting them both really well, so pleased with the distances I hit. Then I hit the SLDR, it felt so nice and it shot past my 3 wood and nearly up to my driver (this is the 14* SLDR model by the way). So I kept alternating between the 3 clubs and got through 60 balls. Every time I picked the SLDR up it went bullet straight and long on a lovely trajectory. The manager came out to have a nose at one being hit as they have not sold any yet and his jaw dropped when he saw how well these things hit the ball.
Anyway I decided not to buy one and took it back into the shop. Got chatting with one of lads and he said the fitting bay was empty if I wanted to see some figures on the flight scope, so I thought "why the hell not". So got in there and hit 10 shots with my driver, average distance was what I expected, but interesting to see a 25 yard gap between the best strike and worst strike and I had a 23 yard dispersal. The I hit 10 with SLDR, oh my god it averaged only 8 yards less than my driver with a 9 yard dispersal and only 6 yards between the best and worst hit. There was 4 of my driver hits that did not go as far as the worst with the SLDR.
So in conclusion it is straighter, hits the ball a more consistent distance, looks good and feels great. Why would anyone not want one in the bag, anyone want to buy my driver as it has been evicted to make room for the SLDR I bought :lol:
