    C'mon spring. Please. please, please...

    The face and bottom of that driver are absolutely beautiful as well as the distance and sound the thing makes. I just can't get over those scoops!!!! Regardless though Lob that is a smokin stick!!

    The face looks really deep (and I was not referring to yours, fundonny )
    what length of tee would you need, since the ball should be slightly above the driver head...

    The face is almost 2.5" deep. Cobra claims that their driver faces have the largest surface area of any manufacturer. 4" tees may be in order, but we'll see. The deep and low CG of the head is supposed to get the ball up and moving in a hurry. I noticed the same kind of thing with their Speed series drivers too, but the head shape wasn't to my liking and they put too much backspin on the ball. Even when I was hitting the X-Speed 8° you could see the ball up-shoot slightly. The HS9 has a flatter flight.

    From the form I had there was a limited number of "custom" options available. If I remember correctly they were NV, NV-S, V2 65, V2 75 (the one I chose), Blue, Prolaunch Blue, Prolite, Fuji Tour Platform XX (for XX-Speed series only), YS-6+, YS-7+. I think that was it, but I can't be sure.

    I'm certain that they can get you pretty much whatever you want though, for the right price of course.
