7 handicapper, here. Used to be decent, but now am your typical play in league once a week and a scramble here and there. Used to hit blades and the low spin drivers religiously. Now that I dont play as often, looking for the clubs with a bit more forgiveness. Just had a driving fitting where I hit all the new drivers. I have been a Taylor Made or Titleist guy my entire life, and completely planned on walking away with either the new Stealth, or the TS3. After hitting all the drivers, the LTDx was by far the driver with the best results. I have never been a Cobra guy, but that has all changed. I strongly suggest hitting these drivers. Especially with it coming in $150 less than the Stealth. New Cobra fan, here.

I know I’m broken record but hands down the best golf channel on KZbin and the only reviewer I pay any attention to. Just got a ltdx LS a few weeks and what can say it’s amazing. Tried a dark speed LS and although I prefer the look of the dark speed the ltdx LS is just that little bit more forgiving and I saw little to no difference in distance between them so went with my wallet and saved some money 😂

I’ll definitely test the LS model. Currently I play the SZ and a TM 300 Mini. I prefer smaller head profiles and need lower spin, as I tend to spin the ball up a lot. My SS is around 110-115, and I do not need help with launch so anything with high MOI and low spin is ideal here.
