  • What's the current driver model you're playing?

>I am in the process of switching from a Titleist 913 D3 to a King Cobra LTD Pro (which means...if I can become as consistent with the LTD as I can with the 913, I'll start gaming the LTD every round - almost there!).

  • What shaft are you gaming? (mfgr, model, flex, weight, tipping)

>913 D3: Fujikura Pro 63 X

>Cobra LTD Pro: UST Elements Chrome 6+ X

  • What's your current ballfilight?

>Draw, ~5 yards. When I'm on, I'm pretty straight with a slight draw bias.

  • Average driving distance?

>I'd say 280-290. Swing speed with a driver is ~107 last time I got measured.

  • Are you happy with this current shaft?

>With the Fujikura, I loved it for 2 years but it seems to not quite be right for me anymore (not sure if this is due to my swing having changed or what, but I've lost consistency with it) - with the UST Elements, the jury is still out although the shaft/head combo worked quite well when I hit it at the demo day, which prompted the purchase. I am going to give it a couple months and if I don't hit the way I like by then, I will go to a place like Fujikura HQ in Carlsbad or Cool Clubs in Irvine for a retrofit.

  • If chosen with you agree to test the new shaft and participate in an ongoing review thread with other GolfWRX members?

>100%. My philosophy is I don't care what works or what it looks like - if it works, I use it...period. You could draw giant pink unicorns on it and I'd happily put it in my bag.
