How about hole #11.

You have an arsenal at your disposal. Trees left, trees right, and kooky there a massive tree in the center of the fairway.

What do you pick? How do you play this hole?

I'm going with this bad boy...

The Fly Z xl has a bit more offset than the other drivers I've hit today. I'm thinking this one will allow me to reduce some of that left to right movement I see and keep this straight and in play on a difficult hole.

Not as pretty and polished as some of the other clubs we have out here, but by design it can definitely help a large amount of golfers, especially those that struggle off the tee.

This one is at 9.5*, I would prefer a bit higher loft but think it's other properties are something that would mesh well with my game off the tee.

10th hole Wake in yellow with an R15 and mine was with Nike Vapor Pro. His 274 to my 273.

How about this for forgiveness....

Freddie hits the Fly Z XL and lets go with one hand mid swing, and still goes low and dead straight middle of the fairway.
 
XR drive of the day
 
Little 815 DBD love on the 11th. Set at +2, N, it launches high and with some speed behind it. Crazy how high this launches in comparison to what its predecessor did at less loft

Cleveland black custom.. Love this new line solid feel light and money!! For us old guys!!
 
Just had my first swing with the d200, really nice high launch, clipped a tree so I won't know on distance, but a nice first impression.

#12 is wide open once you get past the small ocean in front of the tee box.

Can definitely spray it here a bit.

Going to try the Callaway Double Black Diamond on this one. Typically something I would shy away from being a low spinning driver.

Not sure how this will fit my game, but being open I can take a slight risk here.

Freddie got super aggressive and cut the corner. Low launch but a bullet. Carried the traps on the right.

Pudge just hammered the Fly Z XL. Absolutely bombed it dead straight. His miss today has been to the left and this one just went perfectly straight. He liked it a lot. We made him hit a second one here for testing and he bombed the second one again!

Wardy getting aggressive on the right side. Bombed the custom. Slight fade but in perfect position.

And finally me with the DBD. Aimed at the two bunkers in the distance and faded it off that. Really surprised at the launch I jus saw and the ball freaking flew! Set +2 degrees at 11*. Perhaps the best drive I've hit today

I didn't expect that result at all. The added loft really helped me get it up in the air. DBD felt quite stout in hand but so smooth during the swing.
 
Just hit the Yonex. Dig the glitter in the paint. Not distracting looking down at it like you would think. Hit a screaming low liner with the 9 degree head. Rolled a lot!
 
Nike Vapor Flex, another great driver. Can hardly feel the ball come off the face. Like the pro, very muted sound on contact. I hit a high fade on the par 4 11th. Right edge of the fairway.

Cobra fly z xl.. Bombed it.. But offset no my friend..
 
Yonex is legit. I have had good luck with all of them so far. Aero Burner was nice and surprising.
 
Hole 13, and time for some more fun for you guys following along.

130 yard par 3.

We all hit our first shots, but for fun, it's a High Heat Par 3 contest!

Freddie flew the green.

Pudge came up short.

Wardy shanked it.

And I duff it in to the junk.

What did we learn here?

The High Heat is not the best option to pull from the bag for 130 yard par 3 shots.
 
The d200 has been a masher for me, but has been nothing but straight pools I bet with some time to get accustomed to it I could hit it really well.
 
Pudge hits the Vapor and played a baby fade. And crushed it. As I said earlier his miss today has been left, and this ball was dead perfect. Think the Fly Z was a bit longer but both results are stellar.
 
Freddie murdered the Black Custom with a smothered draw. Ball literally moved 4 feet on a rope.

Vapor for me wasn't the best. Quite spinny and the launch was interestingly high.
 
Sounds like you guys are having an absolutely blast out there. Lots of Beags bombs too!!

What course are you guys playing today?

Also, did anyone go say hello to Tiger? I definitely would have been that guy.

We are playing the North course today
 
Little anger after a sloppy bogey. Guessing there may be some High Heat coming off the tee box
 
Awesome work so far y'all! Great coverage, photos and of course feedback!
 
Vapor flex is legit, I'm a fan. Nice looking down at the smaller club head too

Hole 15 sets up perfect for our testing.

I'm thinks the CG Custom wants to be hit.

Freddie has the Vapor going up against his person 815...

First up is the Nike Vapor

Low launch from the vapor but an absolute bullet. distance is typical Freddie.

815 for him launched significantly higher, but lost it right.

Vapor lunched lower but won the head to head on those two swings.

Pudge just demolished the DBD. His driver swing is on point right now and is just doing work with everything.

Wardy up with the High Heat. When he hits this one we like to call him Lil Loud Mouth.

He hammers this driver. It's just stupid how well he hits it. So freaking long and straight.

CG Black Custom is so forgiving. Missed this one out on the toe, but the ball got up in a hurry and just went dead straight. No sacrifice in distance on the off center miss for me either.
 
War Eagle needs to take home the CG Black Custom. He hits it so darn well it's not funny.
 
Hit an absolute moonwalk with the 545, it only took 30 yards off of my average shot. Whoops. I hit a reload much better and saw similar distance to what I've been seeing. Greg just dominated a ball with the d200. It never got more than 3 stories of the ground but it ran out to about 285.
