I am of the opinion you need a Driver thats at least 12 deg, possibly more. At your s. speed you need to be launching the ball at around 16deg.

Slide a large nail (like 12 gr) into the hole on the grip… then go hit it!

not only will they be slightly less of a SW … they will be slightly stiffer, and your distance MAY reduce by like 2 yards. 1/2” physically isn’t a lot, why not just grip slightly lower.

These are Not even close to being the same type of clubhead. And the Pings are far stronger lofted (if my memory serves me correctly). Cavity back cast vs Forged tungsten filled. Every test result...

if you are hitting an 8 iron 155, that Regular F3 shaft might be your issue. But then again… with todays jacked-up lofts on some ‘distance irons” that 8 could be another persons 6 iron.

‘easiest to hit’ depends on numerous specs in a clubs design… not just weight & its placement.

A swingweight question

the generic answer is… Women and seniors use SWeights under say.. D0. The 90g stiff flex you mentioned seems a bit much unless you swing a Driver at say 96 mph or more. Also, do not overlook the shaft...

place about 6” of lead tape down the back of the shaft.. center it 14” from top end of club! An easy & cheaper way to find out!

Yea.. thats it. Great shaft. I knew those specs … I also think it was counterbalanced (butt weighted) as well… thus why I felt the need to see if anyone had firsthand experience. Thanks for the...
