Cleveland Classic Driver - THP Preview Thread

[royalwulff]

I see you have the 12* with the Silver. That is the same combo I am playing now. I am still getting a mid/low ball flight, you say a nice high flight but no balloning. Where have you found your tee height to be?

I play a 3 1/2 inch tee and put it in the ground just enough that it won't fall over. wheni first did it I was cringing about skymarking my driver, but it worked out and i am loving this shaft head combo.

UST Proforce V2 Tour Flight Stiff -- It's a low/mid launch shaft. That chart said flex code was 4-6-5-6 I think. Nothing really came close.

The part that has me all flummoxed is the weight of the heads. Wouldn't that matter? I can't find what a Cobra F Speed weighs.

If you like the V2 I bet you'd like the Kussla Indigo! 5-5-5-5 (S flex)

No 250 dollar upgrade shafts for this guy.

I looked at the chart again, and the closest I could find to all the specs was the NV65. But damn, that's a ugly green shaft I'd be putting in that beautiful head.

Lemme get this straight. The guy named T0AD thinks green is ugly?

BTW the Cleveland rep told me that Kusala upcharges are $100. Maybe that's just for military?

I don't remember what page of this thread it is on but there is a chart of different shafts and their flex codes and a graph of where they fit.

I was looking for that...time to go back and search

I hope to be getting my real computer back tomorrow and I have it saved on there if you can't find it.

I would love to see you find a shaft that works for you in the classic, you also might want to hit up TC, and Super Tuna, amoung other for shaft advice.

 

[pmoa]

thanks royalwuff....i'm killing my razrx 3w in a reg flex, im hoping for something similar in flex for this classic

 

[Hanks]

really wasn't. I would say after the 4th hole you were by far the best off the tee in the group, and really none of us were bad.

Yeah man we did pound the ball really well that day as a group


^^^^^^ I Tapped That.....On My iPad ^^^^^^

Thanks, I will try that this Sunday. I have tee'd it high (what I thought was high) so I will give it a go.

Let us know if it works out for you.

First round in the books with the Classic today, and although I hit it well, I definitely need some range time with it. When I hit it well, the ball just flew. Had a couple of drives out to about 260 yards today, one or two a bit longer. I usually play a little fade on my tee shots, but I was just seeing a straight ball flight out of this.

One thing I did notice was that when I had a miss, it was out off the toe. Im wondering if this is due to the weight difference between this one and my Black? Will be getting on the range this week before League on Wednesday to see if I can get it working a bit better.

 

[royalwulff]

glad to hear you are getting some good distance and ball flight out of your Classic. It took me a while to find a good tee height and ball position, but once I did...

 

[VA. Vince]

Only got in 4 holes and the rain washed me away. Of the 4 holes I used driver 3 times and hit 2 fairways, just short of the 3rd fairway as I took the harder route which was more carry and the rough is thick, the ball took one hop and down it went. I use 3 1/4" tees and stuck it in the ground just enough to hold the ball, this worked great. I was also taking a bigger turn and really focusing on keeping my left shoulder down thru the swing. I had great ball flight but still not much carry, a big improvement from my previous round. It just seems from what I have read the Classic likes a higher tee ball.

I just grabbed a 290 on a fantastic deal in the market, I have been in love with the aesthetics of it since I saw it earlier this year.

Excited.
