New F-Speed in my bag

I spent my second session on the launch monitor try various drivers and finally took the plung on an F-Speed 10.5 Regular.

I tried: Mizuno MX500 10.5 (stock reg, NVS stiff) Nike Sasquatch 10.5 (stock reg) Ping 9 (stock reg) and the Cobra F-Speed.

Although I hit similar shots and distance with all of the clubs I felt more comfortable with the cobra and hit my most accuarate drives, even when really going after it. My last 2 balls both landing in the +/-5yd and carrying 240-250yds. Baring in mind I had hit about 50-60 balls, was hot/sweaty and tired but they still went down the middle.

My ball speed was again around the 140mph mark even touching on the low 150 at one point, but I would swing more within myself on the course. My launch was slightly better than the previous session @ 13.5 and carry was also better.

My thoughts on the club: I am not overly keen on the slightly closed face (when sitting on hard floor) although it doesnt seem to sit as closed on the grass. The grips on these clubs are always so thin that I have already changed it, but again the mildly closed face has put doubts in mind whether I have aligned it correctly, I guess I will find out when I play. The face is huge! I have never seen anything like it and honestly think hitting right out of the toe or heel may be impossible? On the test I hit it slightly on the heel side of centre but still got a lot of accuracy and distance.

I am looking forward to getting out on the course
