Interesting numbers vs the SLDR...

Launch seems a little low? Curious to see what everyone ends up with.

That is the scary thing. Room for improvement?

i was thinkin the same thing seeing those numbers. i think the biggest "holy F" about those numbers was the increase in ballspeed.

I'm surprised. SLDR is the hottest head for me (maybe not the straightest) after lighter weight and the toe screw treament.

I know it's 306 carry, but at that ballspeed, doesn't that seem low (along with the vertical launch and spin numbers)?

I would imagine they did some tweaking after that hit.

You guys can't catch a break with the head winds at The Oven.

Do you see the kind of ball flight you're getting from numbers like that being something you would want to play all the time?

Welcome to DFW boys, home of constant wind!

Doesn't the launch monitor track at just moment of impact or does it follow the ball too? If it's just impact the the headwind shouldn't matter for measurement sake. I don't know, just asking the question.

Would love to see a comparison of the Vapor Pro vs Flex. Whats the MOI of both ?


With Nike using the Cavity back wood can they make a larger footprint for a driver. Flex is 425cc but a 460cc footprint, does that mean they can make a 460cc flex with a 500cc footprint??? Is that legal? I'm sure the USGA did not envision cavity back woods

Really interested in the Flex. Is it a shallower, sub 440cc driver? I remember reading that somewhere in one of the posts.

I'm guessing no. cc is obviously cubic centimeters so it's a measure of volume given certain dimensions. Even if part of that 'volume' isn't taken up with anything, I don't think they could get away with making a 500cc footprint while 'technically' only having used up 460cc of actual space taking the cavity into consideration.

When I first saw the Covert 1.0, this was a thought I had as well.

That bag setup is very nice. Anyone notice that the Hybrid is supposed to go 6 yards further at the same ballspeed of the Covert. The only change I could make out in the slide was higher launch AND higher spin.. Interesting that it adds up to 6 yards longer..
