Q2Q Pt II: Using Cobra Connect to come to terms with Golfer Ego and improve
In the second part of the Quest to Qualify, I chat with Cobra Golf’s Director of Innovation, Mike Yagley, about what attracted Cobra Golf to this experiment and how #cobraconnect will not only help me manage my progress but also identify the hard realities of myself as player on course.
The majority of this exploration, for me, is coming to grips with my Golfer Ego. In my mind, I’m a player of a certain caliber, but hard data, I know, will tell a different story.
Like anything in life, the faster I can work from the truth, the faster I can pivot and remedy any shortcomings to improve. I have no illusions that the golfer I bring to the course right now will have a chance in hell to succeed, unless it’s one of the rare days I roll out of bed, the stars align and I have one of my annual out-of-nowhere under par rounds. That’s using “hope as a tactic,” to quote Mark Wahlberg from Deepwater Horizon, who probably took it from someone else, but that’s not the point. I’m tired of relying on luck in my game to play well and #cobraconnect will ultimately show me who I am.
I’m excited for that truth.
It’s early in the process, and as you will see in the video, I have surrounded myself with great people who support this journey. It helps that Mike is a huge advocate for #cobraconnect and what it can do for all of us that want to play our best.

Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.
