Just been told by my golfing teacher that my cobra 400sz-hi core driver is now illegal....Damn i was hitting that well...lmao...oh well a new driver is needed before i turn up to play with some of you guys...Can't have you banning me after my first round....lol....

On another note, i've been told by fellow players that i should have my clubs shortened to suit my height (i was given a set of clubs years ago) will it make any difference? i very happy with them, and after my lesson's i have taken 6 shots off my handicap this year..I think i've answered this question myself...any thoughts?

p.s. i'm 5'6...no short arse comments please... 

Thanks Nigel 

I was in a similar position last year, Nigel. I had a 410 Nike Ignite + driver, with a stiff shaft and apparently the + made it illegal. So I searched through Ebay and found a standard Nike Ignite, with a stiff shaft. Like you, I didn't want to get into trouble using an illegal club.

Now, the daft thing is, I tried an experiment using both drivers and the same make of ball. There was ###### all difference in the distance of either club.

David,

When i have found a new driver, should i have it shortened to fit me?. The driver i have at the moment comes up to my chin....well almost...lol....

It is best to have the clubs fitted to suit you. My driver is 46 inches long, and comes up to my waist. If it goes any higher than your waist, then you may well be struggling to use it properly.

LMAO....ok well my driver comes up to my chest.....noted for my next purchase.

Thanks Again David.

Nigel. 

Nigel, I have a legal 400 sz driver in my workshop that I came cross the day it has a cobra stiff shaft . If you play reg I can rebuild it with your shaft and correct length for you won't cost a lot of dollar either . PM if your interested.

DM that driver is way to long you would play it far better at 44" and rebalanced.

David. I must admit that I grip down the shaft about and inch and I hit it better that way.

Nigel, a great offer from Leyo, an excellent clubmaker so it will be built properly.

In actual fact Leyo, his driving was the strength of his game at Sherfield last week, so chopping a few inches off would give us a better chance of beating him.

You leave me alone, you big bully. I'm consistantly playing to my handicap of late. My intention is to try and get back down to single figures again. Just need to try and stop making so many forced errors

Well you've seen how well mine goes and thats built at 44" sw D4  and then i grip about 1 1/2

down the grip. My 3 wood is 42" and i grip down on that also.

Rebuilt a driver for David Homer with a different  shaft his feedback "Unbelievable mate,cracking 280 straighter than ever"

He doesn't even know his driver is now 44"(well he will now) It will give you far more control,you will hit the sweet spot more consitantly so hence average driving distance will go up.

No one is forcing you to make errors, David. Just because you have found a mug at Sherfield who is easy pickings does not mean you can afford to relax. South Winchester will test you.

But I like playing at Sherfield. Just cause I found a mug there is a bonus
