Upcoming Golf Club Fitting Days
Cobra – Sunday, May 18, 10 a.m.- 2 p.m.
Come try the new Cobra Dark Speed Adapt with their new patented FutureFit33 hosel adapter with 33 adjustment options to dial in you ball flight. If you hit too low, too high, too far left or too far right, the new Cobra DS Adapt clubs can transform you ball flight to that high, straight, low sin shot that will maximize your distance and accuracy. The DS Adapt also boasts the fastest speed clubhead Cobra as ever made.
Please call the Pro Shop to book an appointment for all fitting days. Staff professionals will be there to help you determine the best club(s) to maximize your performance and lower your scores.
And remember most of the manufacturers allow you to trade in your old equipment for credit toward your new equipment.

Tips from the Pro—Newer is Better!
2025 is an astounding year for new golf clubs. The new technology in this year’s equipment is unequivocally the best it has been in years. If your clubs are more than 3 years old, you are at a significant disadvantage…Here’s why:
1. Shafts – Today’s shafts are better than former generation shafts because they use higher quality materials, more advanced design features, and are manufactured to tighter tolerances, resulting in greater stability, consistency in performance, and often a better feel, especially for golfers seeking maximum control and distance potential. Modern shafts incorporate cutting-edge materials like high-performance carbon fiber composites with unique resin systems, allowing for better stiffness profiles and improved energy transfer at impact. Modern shafts have more options than ever, especially weight profiles with new lighter weight shafts weighing as low as 35-grams for those who have slower swing speeds and are looking for more distance.
2. Clubheads –
Larger sweet spot: The new clubs now all have AI enhanced clubfaces with better performance throughout the clubface including a much larger hitting area on the face, meaning even slightly off-center strikes still generate good ball speed and distance compared to older clubs where mis-hits resulted in significant loss of distance and accuracy.
Advanced materials: Newer clubs use lighter and stronger materials like high-quality titanium, and lighter-weight carbon, allowing for more efficient weight distribution and better club head design for optimal launch and spin.
Center of gravity: By strategically placing the center of gravity lower and further back in the club head, modern clubs promote a higher MOI resulting in higher launch angles, lower spin and better ball flight consistency, adding up to longer and straighter shots.
Adjustable features: Most new drivers come with adjustable weights and hosel settings, allowing golfers to customize launch and spin to suit their swing and playing conditions in more ways than ever.
Aerodynamic design: Modern driver heads are designed with aerodynamics in mind to reduce drag and promote faster club head speed at impact. Let me know how these tips work. To sign up for a lesson with me, email ssteele@the-villages.com
