First let me talk about the club head. Its gorgeous. It looks way better in person than the pictures. The carbon fiber looks fantastic in the sunshine and I didn't find the solid black part in the middle to be distracting at all. In fact I think it helps with alignment. I do think the head kind of looks slightly closed at address and the elongated shape is something I'm familiar with having gamed the Cobra SZX all of last season. The head is 9.5 degrees and is paired with an RDX Blue 5.5. This would not be the flex I would normally game but I wanted to test it out and see how it performed. The overall swing weight is lighter than my gamer and I showed up to the course and peeled the plastic off with no warmups so it took me a few holes to get used to it. The first few swings were all out on the toe but I saw a nice penetrating ball flight and no big hooks telling me the head is very stable.
The ball flight is penetrating and seemed to be quite a bit lower spin than my SZX. When I finally started making good contact I kept saying WOW. As @Lions81 just described it seemed be more of a crack, definitely not a metallic ting and not a muted sound like you hear with something like the Epic lineup or Mavrik from last year. I quite enjoyed it. I took a video of three continuous swings and will get that posted when I have more time. One of each with Epic Speed, C721 then finally Cobra SZX.
My first impression is... I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm typically a decent driver of the golf ball with the occasional swipe right but I'm not sure I missed a fairway after getting used it and was consistently impressed with not only the flight but the distance I was seeing even hitting directly into a solid 15mph wind. The ball was seeming unaffected by the wind and was more so affected by the 40 degree temps we played in today.
