If you keep it on the fairway 18 holes in two hours is doable. unfortunately i don’t :) I played 9 holes at windas a couple of weeks back in about an hour and 20, that was hitting two balls each hole, but i did have a cart too :)

and i agree dave on the xmas thing- i can’t stand being at work when the weather is great and i can’t go play- anytime I’m not at work, and the weather’s great and i can’t play its even worse!!!!

Well I’m back. 2 buckets of balls later and I am extremely impressed with the whole lot of the i10’s. The wrx built i10 PX 6.0’s work extremely well for me – when I made sure my legs were doing there thing and not collapsing (current problem) I was creaming the lot of them. Shame the range has a bend in it as you have no idea on the distance as it is over a hill, however I am pretty sure I was out at my best distances, but with a really good trajectory…what do they say – boring. i10’s are certainly forgiving and I could tell the difference between my old Cobras and the Pings, yet still me properly rewarded with a middled shot.

The Cobra’s were as expected a tad short. No rush but I will address the length issue in the future. When I concentrated on staying down on the ball they were nothing short of beautiful. I hit one 3 iron that I didn’t even feel or hear come off the face it was just that lightest of click and it went screaming off into the never never. Certainly a set that will reward me when I get the swing stabilised and am on my game. They have almost zero offset in the long irons so when you look down you see a straight face – nice.

So one thing that amazes me is that the PX6.0’s are not that much stiffer than the 5.5’s in feel. They didn’t feel boardy at all and certainly give me a great trajectory without ballooning.

A big day today. My new (used) Ping i10’s arrived this morning – beaut condition and paid for when the might south pacific peso was still US$0.82c so got them for cheap compared to the same deal today….in fact $200 less than current AUD$ rate.

4-PW Yellow dot, .5” longer with Project X 6.0 shafts and these flash looking sanded wrap grips. Might need to order a 3 iron – not sure if I’m ready to give the 3 iron away.

As I typed this my Fedex delivery from 3Balls with a set (3-PW) of Cobra Forged CB’s with PX 6.0’s also arrived. STD Length so may have to have them soft stepped to get some extra length – maybe with a 1/4” butt extension on top. Same deal – got them before the $$ plummeted but cost me 5% waiting for another item to finish on ebay. 3 Balls listed these a fine condition but I would put them as new. There is not a mark on them in any place. And aren’t they pretty clubs too – I have always loved Cobra clubs for some reason – well except for those 90’s models that seem very ugly and dated even compared to my mid 80’s Bafflers.

Why 2 sets – why not. I just couldn’t decide whether I wanted forged or cast. I love the feel of the forged cobras but wanted cast club life span for practicing and playing in dry conditions or on less than lovely courses. I have (had) the money and 05 model Cobras go for peanuts even in like new/mint condition with top shelf shafts.

I am off to the range for a couple of buckets of balls.

In the words of Kramer “Giddyup”.
