Hold the press. A new contender has manifested itself. The Epic Speed Triple Diamond LS...
I hadn’t hit a golf ball for almost two months. We have had a break in the weather. It warmed up to low 40’s. So, yesterday, I played 18. To say it was muddy, was an understatement. Look at my caddy and shoes.
First swing was a tee shot on a straight, fairly short par 4. A tight, flat draw that went over 300 yards. Yes, it is 4000 feet elevation, but it also was 43* in very soft conditions. It is about as good as any drive I have ever had on that hole, given the cold air and mud.
The next driving hole was a par 5. Another drive over 280 yards. The driver was consistently giving me these nice flat draws. Towards the middle of the round, I struggled with some toe hooks, but I figured out it was a set up issue and the last three driving holes reverted back to what I was seeing out of the gate.
It is strange. I picked up this head from another THPer late last May or early June. It didn’t work very well, but I had a different shaft in it. I also had it set up differently. Yesterday, I used Hzrdus Smoke Black RDX 60, 6.0 and -1/N for the setting. It is a 10.5* head, so it was playing at 9.5*. I took it out just kind of for kicks, thinking that I was going to sell it, but now I am definitely holding off to see if it was a one time anomaly, or if I have stumbled into something.
