Driver woes...update....

Bill Miracle · 07-03-2009, 07:32 AM

About a month ago, i posted a thread regarding my driving distance being about 20 yards short. My driver was flying very high. I hit this driver decent when I first purchased it (FT-5 tour, 9.5*, Fuji Fit on 360 stiff).

Anyways, after a woeful day off the tee, cracked that shaft in half out of anger (and I'm not a club breaker).

Brought out an old friend....Hi-BoreXL Tour, 9.5*, v2 stiff....first swing, crack....20 + extra yards and nice flight. That range session was really good. Took it out on the course and things were great.

Can a driver/shaft really make that much difference?

Are you sure it wasn't the swing?

If your spin and launch conditions improved significantly, 20 yards is not unheard of.

Mentally, for me.
I always seem to hit good with my friend's drivers, but that won't last very long. Always have to come back to my 1 year old Tour Burner.

Great results again today. The Callaway affair lasted about 6 months. I hit it good at the beginning and then morphed into hitting a high, spinning drive. I really thought my swing was the problem until I put the Hibore XL back in the bag. I got such a great deal on the Callaway, thought I'd try it out. Glad I busted it now though.
