Hi Roger,
Good post.....I bought a Cobra ZL Driver a few years back which allows me to adjust the fade/draw and whilst I never change the settings, I like the fact that the club is set to my game (read slice!). However, I was persuaded by the shop to buy a 11.5 degree, which was clearly wrong, as I have no problem getting the ball in the air, so the new style clubs do appeal to me and would have prevented me from looking for a new club now.....
I spent an hour or so in my local American Golf last weekend trying out a few of the new Drivers, including the New Cobra, Nike Covert & New Titliest 913.....
The Verdict:
Cobra - Nice solid feel and probably familiar to me due to the current club I use, but awful colours
Titliest - Sleek, well balanced and you can adjust the loft from 8 to 12 degrees (I like this one!)
Nike - Felt tinny and the front weighting did make the club feel awkward in the hands and I refuse to have a luminous red driver in my bag!
Personally, as long as you don't break any rules by adjusting the settings during a round, I think these new variations can only help the mid to high handicapper enjoy their game more!
:-)
