WoodenHands:

I did wonder about the Nike due to having the same meter speed

Of the 2 I would say the Nike, for the exact reason that you have said. I was using the Nike and was very happy with it, then they brought out the slow meter, super shiny brick on a stick that is the L103, I had to get it.

Big mistake, for me anyway. I barely noticed an increase in distance even when dinged, but hitting that ding was the hard part, way too slow when your playing the L100 Vapors.

And for what its worth, ignore the people telling you to change your putter. I've tried them all, and the Rossa is still the best.

Lol, thanks for the putter advice, although I'd probably putt the same with the aforementioned "super shiny brick on a stick"

I did wonder about the different meter speed, tough enough to get a rhythm when things are all the same speed, well for me anyway.

Now leaning towards the Nke (I think) lol

First, I have to defend Dan. We (his fellow club members) are not certain he's mentally ill, we just think the odds indicate that he probably is.

j/k

Dan and adeypa are making very good sense. The L103 suits me because I'm old and my dilapidated reflexes appreciate the slower meter.

I especially like what adeypa is saying about the Rossa...it remains the best bargain in the pro shop and I often think about going back to it.

Not a selling point for me the real slow speed but does not get in the way of my play, and really enjoy the new toy overall.

Seems to be a total replacement for my old L93 Black R1. Now if some one was a bit Fway challenged the lower loft is a little easier going I would say, but doubt you will see the L103 as anything other than a Fway machine.

I never had the other higher loft drivers and was always staunchly L93 Black R1 since it was first offered, UNTIL NOW :)..I was that TL Dan was talking about, and finally said OK I am being a stubborn old git probably and took all the advice from my fellow CC members. Jolly glad I did :)

Oh and putting is just even more personal, IMO :)

Well, that's one thing about good 0l' YJ..reliability...heck, you just watch.. they will introduce a L-105 then a L-108 and good 0'l Jim will still be pitching his R1 8.0 ;-}

Cheers Jim, had just about settled on the Nike, lol, time to think (yet) again.
