I am very conservative about buying new clubs. I've had the same set of Titleist DCI irons for 12 years...my r7 Driver for two years, my Sonartec woods and TM Rescue Mid for three....and last year, after using the same T-Line putter for 16 years, I bought a 2-Ball.
So even though there is a lot of talk here about equipment, I don't listen much....
This morning, we are set to tee off around 8:00 or so and I am on the range at 7:30 getting loose. A good friend who does not play in my group is out there hitting his Callaway Fusion square headed driver. The guy is a 24 handicap and tries really hard at the game....
He and I are hitting next to each other and he says..."Try this driver".
So I hit it and it is perfectly straight and has good distance. I hit 4-5 more. Sweeet.
He says, "I'm not playing this morning. What don't you take it with you when you play?"
Well, who gives a shit? So I took the club and teed off with it. Nice and straight.
When I play, I hit driver on 13 holes on our course. On about half the holes I hit some sort of knockdown or other shot where I try to work the ball. The other half I just try to get all I can get out of it.
I usually miss at least 5 fairways when I play with my r7 with the Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue.
I hit 11 out of 13 fairways with the Cally Fusion. I missed one fairway by about a yard....
Needless to say, I love the club. It has a Fujikura 757 Speeder Stiff shaft in it.
ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
BTW, I had a fun round and had a rare trifecta where I birdied 5,6, and 7. I two putted 14 greens and 1 putted four for 32 putts. Another rarity for me....shot an 80.
