Not at all Hawk, I'm just not sure how much is too much though. In the wind though it can be a liability.Sounds to me like the height might not be a bad thing then?

Don't want a tone to think I've vanished here, just been sick as a dog and busy with some very important family stuff. That said, I HAVE been out with the ML4 and will be getting a round in tomorrow. 3 round update tomorrow but I can safely say I still love it to death. More tomorrow, I promise my fellow THP'ers.

Well, today I put the ML4 into the shop for a reshaft. Going with a Graphite Design Pershing 65-S tipped to play about 1/2 flex stiffer and to a finished length of 44.5"
I played my S3 yesterday for the first time since getting the ML4. My lack of consistency off the tee was very similar which confirms to me that it's my swing which is in fact a bit off (already knew it, though, as I'm just not comfortable on the tee lately). Two things I also know, despite my S3 having the Blueboard shaft which I LOVE, I prefer the overall feel of the ML4. And two, although the S3 impresses in the forgiveness department, the ML4 does even a bit moreso. I'd say they're equal on shots toward the toe but the ML4 is a little better at forgiving thin and heeled shots. Particularly with thinned shots, the ball still gets up and gets out there.
I'll pick up the driver on Friday, won't be able to play until Monday at the earliest... can't wait to check out this combo!
cool im looking forward to hearing the results of the reshaft, forgive me if you mentioned this already buy have you played the Pershing before?
Yes, twice. First in a G10 and then most recently in a Macgregor NVG2 Tour. I had the Mac made to the exact same specs and that club was far and away the most consistent and most accurate driver I've ever had. Sadly, I collapsed the face. I had no luck in finding a suitable replacement (cracked another one, next one I picked up had a dead-face).
There are many things about the Nicklaus clubhead which reminds me of the NVG2 Tour. Not the least of which is design as they're both constructed with cup-face technology. I just had a feeling about it so I went with the same set-up... VERY anxious to see the results. :smile:
So, three rounds to update...
Round 1 - 9/14 fairways
Round 2 - 10/14 fairways
Round 3 - 9/14 fairways
As you can see, not bat at all! Plus, in the three rounds only 5 were truly BAD shots, and that was all my swing. The ML4 continues to give me 250-265 carry on average though I did drive a 315 yard par 4 in the second round, talk about just feeling that you crushed it, the ML4 gives me that feel. Super forgiving even on terrible swing days is what is real and truly selling me on it. I love this thing.
Getting out again tomorrow, I'll be back!!!

Please see my previous posts. More will be forthcoming.Good update JMan.
Anymore updates testers?
I would love to hear more about launch, ballflight, distance, forgiveness, hole updates, round updates, etc...
This thread is all about testing and the more thoughts the better we all are. Thanks.
Please see my previous posts. More will be forthcoming.
Since there were no comments I wasn't sure. I've discussed launch, ballflight, forgiveness, and my increase in distance.I saw them. Hoping for continued updates on the same topics hence the reason I said "more".

Please see post #59. I've also discussed launch, ballflight, forgiveness, and increased distance at length. I didn't think my specific distances or fairways hit were pertinent. I don't want the reader to get a number stuck in their head, i.e., my distances or fairways hit, and think that will be their results. Does that make any sense?I was not under the impression that that was necessary since it is long term testing.
The goals of the THP long term testing is continued detailed updates on the piece of equipment that is being tested.

I really like what I'm reading regarding the forgiveness of this driver. I could've used a bit of forgiveness this afternoon. Question to the testers, on your typical misses how does the club react? Meaning does a hit on the turn right on you or does mostly hold its line minus the distance.
