Hey guys I could sure use some shop advice.I picked up a Cobra 10.5 2007 driver on Ebay from Threeballs.It has Aldila NVS-M Regular 50gr low kick shaft in it.Now that was the exact shaft I was using in my old Taylormade driver.
Here is my problem.
I finally took the Cobra to the range and then played a few holes today with it, had both drivers in the bag.
Here is my problem that I could use some advice, thoughts or ideas with.If I swang the Cobra very easy I could hit it good and ball jumps real well.BTW this is the first time using a 460 Driver...However anytime I really went at the ball with a fast down swing , it seems like the face would still be open and my ball would have slight fade or stay right.I have almost never faded the ball unless I wasnt making a decent turn and just swayed on the back swing.
I tried at the range to really move the ball way forward and that didnt help.Does this sound like the shaft might be a abit to whippy and the head is not catching up when I swing it faster?I can really feel head with this club and know where it is all threw the take away and down swing.I have always played regular shafts and thats is all thats in my bag now.
I really dont want to make a swing or stance change for 1 damn club.What would cutting the tip 1/2 -1 inch do?I know it should play stiffer but any ideas on how much?Appreciate any input from you club builders or fellow players.
Thanks
