I got the opportunity last night to test drive a 9.5 Cobra Speed Pro S with a "By You" Aldila shaft in stiff.
POW!! (as the infomercials would say) :laugh:
Only hit it 9 times, but hit 3 of the longest and straightest drives in a long long time, this thing is a cannon! I was worried that the shaft would be too stiff, but it felt just nice. The head felt quite forgiving on a few of my off centre hits.
It belongs to a pro I know and he wants it back today. I would love to have had it longer to give it a full test drive, but it is the business. Quite expensive right now, but I expect the price to come down. I'm going to have to do some research on this shaft, it is an awesome piece of nano-technology!
Interestingly the pro perviously had a 905R with a V2. He reckons that the "by you" is not as stiff as the V2 and that the club is 100% easier to hit. He almost did a Rockford "the thing hits itself 280 each time down the pipe!!".
I have got a few of his "hand me downs" over the years. He is a similar size and swing to me so I know his clubs are a good match for me. (OK, he is obviously better!!! :laugh: )
I also demo'ed (from the same dude) the Titleist 585H 19 degree hybrid with an NV shaft. Very nice indeed, hits it higher and feels nicer off the face than my Sonartec md. It's a serious contender for my next 'ho. That or a J33 bridgestone.
Should have my Limey TEE combo by the w/e, looking forward to hitting that sucka as well.
Ah, this obsession with golf equipment will have to stop!
