I attended a demo day over the weekend and was mostly on a mission to find a new driver and test the i20 irons, and here are a few things I tried...
...I should preface this by saying that I am fighting a lack of extension with my right arm in my swing, which is giving me a bad case of the rights...
Adams F12LS - This was one of the first clubs I hit and it was a bomber! It was maybe the most "solid" feeling drivers that I have ever felt. I liked pretty much everything about this club. I hit it again later (after a jillion swings with other clubs) and was just losing it right, which has been my mishit lately and something that I am starting to fix. A little concerned if I could keep up with this club later in a round if fatigue set in, but all in all I really liked it. If I knew I could keep up with it all the time, it might be my new gamer. The Fubuki shaft felt great!
Titleist 910 D2 -
*Motore F1 (can't remember the weight...I think in the 70's) stiff - Not for me. It was too stout to even really give a fair opinion of. Made me feel like a girly-man.
*DI-6 - I really liked the trajectory and carry, but it's a stout shaft. Once again I didn't extend the right arm and so I know I didn't get everything out of it. Sent it too far right. With some work I could straighten it out, but I don't wanna take such an expensive gamble.
*Oban Devotion 6 - Probably the best combo with this clubhead that I have tried. May have been a hair low in trajectory, but looked to have great spin and carry.
*Voodoo NVS - Surprisingly good and probably just behind the Devotion in terms of performance.
Callaway Razr-Fit - with Voodoo SVS - I really really really disliked this club. Sound, feel, etc just didn't work for me. My dad really liked this one with the stock shaft.
Ping i20 w/ 707 shaft - It really didnt' do anything for me.
Cobra ZL Encore - I never quite got comfortable with this one. I like the way it feels, but the results just weren't quite there. It was a total bomber for my dad, though.
Cobra AMP -
*I liked this club, but didn't love it.
*Oban Devotion 6 - Loved it. Best shots of the day and this was at the end of my time at demo day, so I was actually pretty worn out.
Unfortunately Nike was not at demo day. I love the VR_s driver and based on my time with the AMP, I think I will probably order a VR_s with Oban Devotion 6.
Ping i20 irons -
*CFS stiff - felt like fence posts to me. I couldn't put a good swing on them at all.
*KBS Tour - These are the shafts I currently play and made a world of difference in this club for me. Interesting that the fitter said I am a black dot (standard) and that my AP2's are probably too flat at 2*. I really liked the i20's and may be making a change to them.
