Mark, Interesting about the Cleveland loft.  I've misplaced my reference, but Ping acknowledged that they purposefully mark the soles of their drivers with stronger lofts than they actually are.  The realize that many of their male customer's egos would get in the way of getting a good fit. /E

Tom, I had a similar thing happen to me a few months ago, I had a Wishon 915 CFE, 420cc, 12 degree in the bag for over 2 years, fantastic club, every new driver came out I'd try and none ever impressed me enough to consider changing. A member of my regular saturday foursome came with a new driver,

Sorry to hear about Mr. Taylor. I never had the pleasure of meeting the man but I have enjoyed and learned from his comments on Shoptalk over these last few years. He will be missed.

Andre We use shafts made to our specs by Rapport ( much wider frequency range then standard). They are specified to be 3* or less torque and high flex point over the full frequency range. If you Fit the shaft properly, to be back to straight at impact, the high flex point gives the best performanc

Hi Tom, I've hit one of the Cobra's. As I recall, it feels like it has a tremendous trampoline-rebound effect when hit on center. I also agree with Andre that the head hits on a much higher trajectory than it's stated loft and that the shafts are much softer than their stated flex. I hit a 10 o
