Can't decide whether your lefty or righty??? Sounds a lot like my older brother he switches back and forth about once a month. The more I see snake eyes equipment the more I like the way it looks. The real question is how do they play??

When I was growing up my father taught me how to hit a baseball in the lefty and righty swing positions but swinging lefty always felt more natural for me even though I do everything else right handed. It came time to try learning golf and I guess he decided that I swung better left handed. I didn't change over to play right handed until last year. When I started working with the Golfsmith Proprietary/R&D team I needed to swing right handed in order to be included in the new prototype Product Testing. None of the new prototype equipment was made in left hand models until after the right hand version was complete. The guys in the R&D department were nice enough to help me learn. Now I can swing the club both right and left handed, but I practice more on the right swing due to the availability of better equipment.

 

The Snake Eyes equipment play great. I may be a little bias because I see the product developed but I also see the testing results as well as side by side comparisons to the major OEM clubs out at the range. My view of component clubs is just as high as the OEM clubs. I can look at the OEM brand clubs and better understand how they are built because of the job I'm in.
