I'm in the market for a driver but my swing speed is upwards of 110. Does a graphite shaft come on the LD F??? I'm considering a TM R7 but liked the LD F too, I haven't swung one yet though and need a shaft that doesn't flex too much.

I would HIGHLY recommend a Cobra X-Speed Pro with an x-stiff shaft.

smittysbar · 04-10-2008, 03:37 PM

Wouldn't get the pro. I have a high swing speed also, the F you will love. I didn't think the pro was quite as long. Also the pro produces more side spin. Have heard real good things about the new LV4 also.

smittysbar · 04-10-2008, 03:38 PM

Some big numbers getting posted so far. Woods finished even.

PhillyChiefFan · 04-10-2008, 03:55 PM

Thanks for the input all, I don't have very many golfing friends to help me out, they mostly just get drunk and swat the ball around.

I'm surprised Woods finished even!

smittysbar · 04-10-2008, 06:19 PM

They about didn't get everyone through before dark. No real big blow ups today.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-10-2008, 07:27 PM

Mickelson's round was pretty interesting. He was striping the ball on the first twelve holes, then starting spraying the ball, didn't make a single putt but that miracle on one, and finished -1.

he and Tiger are both in great shape.

smittysbar · 04-10-2008, 07:44 PM

Yeah, they are in good shape. That is what is great about the masters, tomorrow the leader could go to the back and vise verse.

How much weight has Phil lost?

I have a friend at work who does not like his R7 and so now he is looking at going with the Callaway FT-I.

Don't know, but he looked like he hit the gym hard

He's lost a lot of weight, and it's really stabilized his swing. You can tell that his base is a lot stronger from the gym work (and work with Harmon) and he's not nearly as loose in his legs, which really helps his driving (which was excellent for the most part today, save for his teeball on 15).

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-10-2008, 11:43 PM

I'm thinking about finally changing my irons this summer, after 8 years. I'm pretty much a Ping guy through and through. I've been playing the i3's since I graduated high school, have a set of Eye2's as backup, and am looking for something with a little bit of a cleaner overall look.

I was thinking about getting a combo set of i10's and S58's with Rifles in them, but I'll actually have to go to the mf'ing course to make use of 'em.
