Long story Tez. Bought it locally here via the U.S, Spain & Hong Kong.

First hit today. See how it goes... :)

Not happy with the 580XD so far. Only one session, but it's just as long as my Golfsmith Hi-Cor but doesn't feel as good. Having a little trouble squaring the bigger clubhead. :x

I might give it some course time and see how it behaves with decent balls and under pressure.

that's not too uncommon...

but the R580XD took a lot less time for me to settle with, as opposed to my previous 2 drivers (Nike350cc, Titleist983K)....
and nope...I didn't even go to the range with it...don't believe in smacking new clubs with crap balls...

daveypeee, how does that NV65 feel :?:

i had a few swings with the G2 with this same shaft and it felt really whippy with such a huge clubhead hanging off the end of it. :evil:

jarroooo, I've gotta say I like the SK Fiber Lite Rev I a lot more. It feels a lot tighter than the NV. I haven't had the NV freq'd, but it feels a little stiffer than the Lite Rev I.

The Lite Rev II that I'm getting in my Alpha Watermelon freqs at about 270CPM. It scares me a bit, as I'm basically going a full flex stiffer from 257 CPM. Hopefully I'll have it by Saturday. I plan to carry 3 drivers in my bag...

That is very stiff. That's would rate about an x flex. :shock: :?

So we can count you out for the win then.... :P :P

Yeah, it's getting pretty close to an x-stiff. I'm crapping myself at this point. How many weight sessions can I fit in between now and Saturday? :shock:

At least carrying 3 drivers, I might have an excuse for playing pi$$ poor. I might also be carrying a new putter (maybe two) and hybrid just for kicks...

If anyone can come up with a more insane bag set up than 3 drivers, 3W, 24* utility, 5I - SW, 2 putters please let me know...

darn, i was only going with 2 drivers, 2 x 3 w, 5 w, 24* hybrid, 8-pw, 52,56,60 2 putters...

ah well, you da man! :D :smt023

True Jono, very true :smt045

I thought I might just nip over to the OEM side for a brief visit to see what all the fuss is about :smt017 :-k

I guess I could get both cause when you have 12 driver in the corner, 2 more with them will go unnoticed by the golf nazi :smt047 :smt079

niiice big grass one dion, a la brookwater, nice and sandy.

i forgot to ask shavey if some big buckets of balls are getting thrown in.

with 30 players we wouldn't need more than 10 buckets, save us all a few bucks.

shavey, can we scab some buckets of balls for the mini demo day? :D
