I bought a "clearance" wedge yesterday sight, and hitting, unseen that the sales person down talked because the club is 2 years old. I tried hitting a current model and for 2x (or more) the price I can't imagine it is too much different. If it is, I will find out and will get to make that choice. I can always sell this "clearance" one to someone who's more price sensitive and buy a new one if the difference is dramatic. I just want to putt for a birdie now and again from a 60yd approach.

Should I keep my powder dry? Cash stashed? Money in the bank? You have shaded my view of technology and most certainly marketing. Is it the machine or the motor?
If you cannot afford to buy the new technology every year where do you make investments and how often regarding clubs. What is the recommended life cycle. I always kind of thought the Metals technology changes faster than the irons. Am I wrong on that too. What is your recommendation.
Love the videos. Love the way you get to your left side too.......

Just a side bar......what shoes did you have on?
I wish that happened when people drove. That They gave up after they crashed.

really good video. Thanks.
Questions on the Alpha 815, in which position was the weight? up or down?
Regards
Chris
It would be interesting to see you compare all Callaway Pro/sub zero/tour versions.
Yes, I hit a long ball. I play a lot and I hit the ball well. I'm a registered 9.2 handicap (and my instructor laments that I strike the ball like a scratch player, but if I would actually set foot on a practice green on my own time I would be under 5 in a year (???)). Anyways, take that for what it's worth. It means nothing other than I'm not just trying to murder a ball and say I hit it 330 yards one out of 100 times.
Point being, both drivers performed about the same in comparison, with their peak slightly out doing mine - but not $500 better.
Use video's like this to get excited about new tech, because its fun, and golf should be fun! But, don't worry if you do go shopping and find you don't hit the newest most expensive driver in the store further than anything else. Use what feels good in your hands, and gives you confidence. Don't be caught up chasing tech. Your swing will dictate 99% of your results.
I enjoyed that test, I'd love you to do a cobra driver test !!!
I've got an old L4v with a x9.0 shaft that I love and a Fly-v+ and I'm sure the fly-v + doesn't go any further than the L4v !!! Different sound though !!!
I am a 3 hcp and bought a used 815 driver this spring and have never hitten a driver longer before in My life and also very consistent. That is with a 67 gram fujikurashaft and 9.5 degree head with gravity core up. I tried the Epic twice and hit it terribly both times. For now I really don't need to change My 815 since I can hit 250-260 y into the wind (strong), around 300 without wind and way above 300 with the wind. But again, depends on who is hitting the club I guess..
interesting though, the Epic had lowest swing speed and highest ball speed, so greatest efficiency with lower std. dev Could be something there. or could just be that is the one Rick is gaming these days so he likes it ;)
Good video thanks! A glfwrx member brought up a good point. May I ask to see some Adams golf equipment reviews?
Thanks!
