Ho or pragmatist?

I could not resist.....I had a few giftcards in my pocket and Golfsmith was selling the Launcher Ti for $149.

So I grabbed one, with the NV shaft. They offered the prolaunch but I already have that in my regular launcher. I liked the NV I used to have so I fixed myself up with another one.

The bad news is that the temp here is 17* below zero with the wind so it may be awhile before I get to hit it.

You mean you don't want to go to Fenner Hill tomorrow and try it out?

So you bought the same driver you already have, just with a different shaft? That's a ho....

Not exactly....I have the regular version, not the Ti......the difference is probably nothing more than the name stamped into the head.

Graf Blue. Hammertime.

That NV sucks, especially in the Launcher. 10*, Sling?

9.5

I had an NV before and really liked it.
I found it to be more responsive than my current prolaunch blue.
Not as stiff. The stiff blue is like a board compared to the stiff NV.

personal preference I suppose.

I've got 2 NV's and do not really like them (85 S in an Adams hybrid, 65 R in a V Steel 18º). Probably going to buy an NVS 65 R 1 pull from a guy and put it in my V Steel 15º to compare the 2 shafts heads up...it has a stock steel right now.

Oh, and you're a ho....

I find the launcher 460ti to be great for hitting balls straight






























up in the air. I hit that stupid club 300 yards every time, 150 up and 150 out.

The Launcher 460 is a beast. One of the longest and most forgiving heads I've ever hit.

And why did I get rid of mine? Oh ya, it's on it's way back.

I have never hit anything even remotely as high as i hit my launcher head. The thing is, the launcher ti head is my favorite looking head of any driver head I have ever hit.
I even tried an X-stiff pro launch red with it and still hit only about 200 yards because of the rediculous amount of height I got from it. Just not for me I guess, but damn do I love the look of that head, simply perfect imo.

I also got a new Ti 460 Launcher 9.5 with Nv 65S this week. for $200 . The local golf store gave me $150 trade in for a Mizuno MX 500 , so it was a no brainer.
