New Toy!
Today saw me waiting anxiously waiting for the postie to arrive so I could try yet another Driver. Said stick arrived and even with all the bubble wrap it was lighter than "the old girl"!
Took it down the range before the wrappings had hit the floor, warmed up with the old one and then set to it. Took about 2 swings to get it so I was happy with the results and then it just went nuts!!!!!! Longer and slightly straighter with less spin than I'm used to, lovely sound and a feeling that was completely different to what I have experienced before!
I was getting the normal fade that I would get with the old driver and fairways (which is due to a swing fault which I havent fixed yet) but, instead of carrying to the 200, everything (apart from a couple of course) was heading comfortably past the 250 before hitting the deck!!!!!!
I've got a lesson booked for Monday to help me get to grips with the nuances of the club (and yes I did the same for my irons) so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!
Needless to say that the tape came off before I finnished the bucket. It was an emotional moment.
The head is a Maltby KE4 11* with a HOF Patriot shaft (reg flex) and is very good looking when your standing over it! The club was built and sent to me by Ivan who also sent me some very thorough details on the club itself and its care!!!
So Thank you Ivan for a great club, and all your help with it. I look forward to getting to grips with it fully and seeing what the club and I are capable of.
WooHoooo another reason to get out on the course!!!!!

I don't think you could pray long enough over my clubs Ivan. Although at the range yesterday I did have one satifying event. They are doing some renovation and they had parked a JCB close to the end of the range just beyond the 250 yard marker (a great target!). I caught one very sweet strike and as I watched it sail over the top of the JCB on the full, I heard "that sounded good" from behind me. I turned to see the head pro wandering past me
