Im guessing by his joke about the R11S commercial, that he is upgrading to it from the R11.

I was thinking that also, but if he's switching to Cleveland for his wedge, he may try the Classic...ah, I'm Chunkypondering again, LOL.

Thanks for responding JN and WE! Makes me feel good. Haha.

Yes, I hit the R11s, 910 D2, RBZ and VRs last time at the range and I honestly wanted to be open minded. But without a launch monitor, my top two were the 910 and R11s. The R11s did seem much more forgiving than my R11 so I'm guessing the size of the 460 helps with that.

JN, are you suggesting I go demo the Cleveland Classic? I'll have to read up on them. I don't know the difference between the models and I am sort of partial to the white now. I'm just use to it.

what did you think of the RBZ compared to the R11 you currently game?

I liked the RBZ. Quite a bit. Just didn't love it. I might game it over the R11, but not over the R11s.

I hear ya on that one. the RBZ didn't do much for me as far as being impressed goes. Honestly, it felt about the same as the Superfast 2.0 to me, and it was just kind of...ehhh.

Exactly. Wasn't awful, wasn't great. I actually ranked the 910 above the RBZ.
 
So, do I buy the CG16 or 588... I want to call Blind9 tomorrow!

EDIT: I see a problem with this. I'm going to order the 64, then I'll want the 52 and 56 too.

Which hybrid is it in?
Just double checking because if you mean the same shaft that's stock in the Machspeed that's a AXIV Black rather then a V2.

Just saw this Tuna, I have a proforce V2 hybrid shaft in my Wilson Staff Dh6 hybrid. I'm pretty excited to get this shaft and hit some bombs with it.
 
After my round today my wedges are officially on ponder. The VR forged wedges I just can't seem to play from tight lies for some reason. I really wasnt generating any spin today, which was really frustrating.
 
Gaming an oban Devotion in my 5 wood and loving it. About to pull the trigger on a Aldila Rip Phenom 52g stiff in an r11s TP and trading in my 910 D2 with the Proforce v2 66g. Anybody had any experience with the lightweight shafts that could tell me any pro's and con's? I like the 910 but I'm loving the Taylormade fairways and rescue so think I need to match them up with the big stick
 
Anybody have any experience / advice on buying 910 Sleeves online? I'm looking to put a V2 Hybrid .370 shaft in my 910h but they are much more expensive and seem a bit sketchier than the r9 sleeves I've bought online before.

You can buy them from Golfworks, they are very reliable. The 910 sleeves definitely are more $$$ though. http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_BB9042

Do you already have the shaft? By the time you buy a shaft and adaptor and pay someone to install it, you may be better off just buying a shaft from Titleist with the Surefit adaptor already installed.
 
Yes I already have the shaft, I'm going to call the local EW & GG to see if they have similar prices & what they charge to install it.

I don't know if these are more complex to install that the TM or Nike Sleeves. But those are extremely easy to do yourself, all you need to some epoxy

I hope they are similar, but may just pay someone to do it while I watch. I have the epoxy and have done several TM tips, but I'm a bit more gun-shy on my first time on these since they are so much more expensive.
 
Interesting numbers...looks like the Classic won out, but you mashed (pun intended) one of your Mashie FW shots there...
 
holy spin numbers on the AMP compared to the Classic!

Yeah lol. I think that 15.5 could replace my driver !!!!!! I took these numbers once I got intoa groove with the newer swing. The Mashie FW is a beast but not as easy to hitfor me as my hybrid. I liked it though. I went to buy a 5w but they didnt have any in stock stiff. Then it was golfsmith so their customer service had to be piss poor and I didn't end up ordering from them.

Lol dude, it was unreal. I liked the launch angle and feel but that RIP shaft was the spinniest (haha) RIP shaft I've ever used. RIP lite lol.
 
Tmex were the lofts the same on the 2 drivers you hit?
 
What loft in the Classic, Yoccos?
