Guy in my group just got one and played it for the first time on Saturday. Thing is a monster and is super accurate. I hit it and it was long as hell. Great club.

Yeah I'm jelly.

It his very fun indeed. Amen corner from the Master's is very tough but awesome. They have the big white scoreboard from Augusta recreated and everything. And hitting a tee shot to the green on the TPC Sawgrass #17 was fun as shite. Last time I played, I put 2 in the water. This time as soon as I hit the ball I knew it was golden. I held the follow-through and everything like a pro haha Definitely made the round worth it when I got the par (I was still probably 25 feet from the hole for my attempted birdie putt).

Its definitely not something I would play every weekend (especially for $90), but it is a great experience IMO

T18 is something worth doing once. there are a lot o f uninteresting holes. The Amen Corner is cool. and sawgrass is cool. the blue monster hole is also good but the course isn't worth replaying very often

Im very happy with the purchase. Like I said I am def still getting use to it. Not yet ready to let it fly fully. dont trust it yet.


Its also very different looking at a black driver after playing the R11 for so long

This! My ex lives in Humble so I used to play it almost every time I'd go there with her. Really nothing special

Yeah. I think it'd be a good one time thing and a few times a year for a Houstonian. It's a cool concept. Unique.

I drove it to the side of the green on the the first hole on Amen Corner (#11 at Augusta) at T18. clearly not an exact replica distance wise

Do they have different grasses on the greens for each course? Like bent grass on Amen corner.

I know. its up hill tee shot and blind but its down hill to the hole. i ripped a draw down the tree line and bounced down the hill right of the water. on a little hump to the right of the green (next to wear the tee box for golden bell is). standard chip shot from 10 yards off the green. I was playing from the second to last tees

Is it one of those deals where you have to get permission to hit the tips?

You bombed it ~430 yards? That is quite the Ryno Bomb indeed...
