Hi everybody, second-time poster here, hoping I'm not alone in my equipment madness...
Until I played 18 a couple of weeks ago with my brother I had been playing my Cobra S9-1 Offset driver and 3-wood, Baffler TWS 3 & 4, and Cobra SZ 5-GW irons, with Vokey 56-14 and 60-4 since I returned to the game last October after a 10-year layoff. That is, until we got to the 3rd tee, where I borrowed his couple-years-old TM Tour Burner driver, and BOOM! Now, the Cobra had been okay, nothing special, but good enough for my crummy game until that moment. I kept using that Burner driver the rest of the round, and my brother actually gave it to me to keep, saying the shaft was too stiff for him. I've been killing it (for me) ever since. It is the most solid driver I've ever hit. The shaft really is too stiff for me also, though. But it has such a great feel.
Hmm, thinks I (Danger, Will Robinson!!), if TM makes such solid equipment, what else might they have that I'd like? So I head to a local purveyor of shiny crowbars and demo some TM woods and irons. The result is, I just received my TM R9 460 10.5*, Burner high launch 3&5 woods and Burner 3&4 high launch Rescues -- all R flex. The R9 irons should get here next week. I am seriously geeked and can't wait to get out there with the new toys after work today! I also went a little crazy and added a TP xFT wedge, 56-12 (w/free extra face plate). I, um, had picked up a Rossa Daytona 6 last week. And *cough* a Sun Mountain C-130 bag, too. Well, I can't be expected to put new TM clubs into a Cobra bag that's almost a year old, can I? I kept the Vokey 60* in the bag though. So I've got that going for me.
I've never done anything remotely like this before, but it feels GOOD! Anybody else?
