A lot has changed over this past year... I dropped 80 lbs, my practice regime increased with joining a club, and a few tweaks in the swing has the game on the rise. Last year CC fit me into a Rogue 10.5 with Oban Isawa cut to 44.25 inches, the length has me finding on average 12-13 FW's a round. However, I am finding myself topping out right at 250 yards total carry.
I recently acquired a Cobra F9 with the idea of chasing the idea of squeezing a few more yards out.
Using their Trackman, I tested about every high end exotic shaft they had and the only combination that beat the shortened Rogue is the 400 dollar Fujikura Ventus shaft. Do those magicians have a magic button that turns on higher numbers with their most expensive offerings? I kid, however, the changes in the numbers were minimal and made me regret picking up the F9 before I tested anything. Luckily, it was all store credit and cost me nothing.
Numbers were:
93 SS
140 Ball Speed
Launch: 13.5
Spin: 2500
Total Carry: 254 yards
Rogue:
89 SS, 136 Ballspeed, 13.5 launch, 2600ish spin, 248 yards.
Would you drop 400 bucks for that extra distance? I am leaning yes, as those extra 7ish yards would get me into a better zone on my home course. I'd rather have an 8 iron in my hands.
DISTANCES ARE TOTAL YARDAGE, NOT CARRY...
