re: Golf Board's thoughts on Rickie's Cobra Milled Face Driver?

You posted while I was replying. See above.
Um. Why are you laughing? Did YOU read what you quoted. Do you understand what was being described in “stage 1”?

I mean, you could have easily said, "Oh, damn, I didn't realize things were different with low lofted faces." But no, you have to argue with me about other experts' assertions.
But you’re defending it without understanding it at all.

It's explained here, again.
Why don't golf club manufacturers reduce driver spin by reducing friction on club face?

Reducing friction on the driver face actually causes the ball to slide across the face at impact. Increasing friction prevents the ball from slipping, which increases quality compression time. And the more you compress the ball, the lower the spin.

I think the main crux of your argument is: if a rough/grooved surface on a driver could reduce spin, why don’t all drivers come with a rough/grooved surface? Especially in a time when all manufacturers are pulling out all stops to reduce spin and increase forgiveness. I don’t think the surfacing of a driver’s face has any meaningful impact on spin characteristics and as mentioned, Cobra isn’t claiming that either. Cobra is CNC milling the face to reduce inconsistencies across the product line vs competitors’ hand polished faces.

What I want to know is how will this face hold up? Hell, the center of my scotty is starting to wear and I putt with that thing at a whopping 1mph.

Where are the links to your first quotes? That link has Jeff answering a question and a video produced by Bridgestone supplied to my golf spy. Jeff talks about how it improves compression and that leads to less spin which is completely different from your original quotes.
And all of this to still say that the affect, if any, is so small compared to other factors that it still doesn’t make an impact on overall spin. If that’s the case, why did Bridgestone stop making a driver with microgroves? The JGR.

Still waiting on those links to your original quotes.
Like I said. It’s no different than the claims of 10 extra yards OEMs spout with every release. You believe those too I suppose. There’s always “science” to support it.

Everything you will find will be similar to the stuff I've quoted. It's science, and you are a denier.

You and ELL just need to meet at Sonic on Monday morning. Then, we can go torch Atchafalaya.

Monday golf? Hmmm, have not done that in a while.

In.
Also, just looked at the new TourB driver from Bridgestone. Still has the micro grooves. Rep said they skipped a few iterations. Also said it’s bullshite so

Come on down. If you are coming in, maybe Lafayette would be the central meeting place. We could play the Farm
I think there is a sonic right down the road.
