Like I tell everybody, you're probably going to pay whatever the price is because you know going in it's going to be expensive. You're not going to ask how much the second best club you hit was.
Was the epic Sub-Zero a new club for you this year?
The shaft was $220 on top. He claimed it to be a $400 shaft, but I looked later and found it for $250 online. I thought I should have taken a stock shaft and then ordered this one myself so I could have both, but I want him to build this for me to the exact specs as the one I was hitting at the fitting and the only use I would have for the stock shaft would be when I decide to sell the club later but want to keep the shaft I was fitted for. Anyway, I said give me the closest shaft in specs that is a stock option and he tried two that were similar and I hit one of them ok, but the numbers just weren't even close enough to consider. I decided if I'm spending the money on this, I want what will give me the best, most consistent results possible. Truth will be told when I get it on the course.
The epic was just a club I picked up last year to try out and I did a bunch of tweaking to it myself. I also have an M2 that I still pull out when I lose the fairway too much. Both are getting traded in for the new one. He let me keep the one I wanted until the new one comes. He said there will be a return label in the box and just throw the old one in there and send it back to us when you get the new one.
In the end, driver is the part of my game that costs me the most strokes. If I'm hitting it good, I can shoot low 70's all day. If I'm struggling with it, I am in the high 70's to low 80's. Generally it has been on the hitting it poorly side this year.
