Hi

I am a LEFT HANDER playing off 6 and here is my current selection of woods:

Hybrid

Titelist 910H 19deg

Setting: C3

Shaft: Diamana Kai'li 80 Hub Mid Flex-R

3-wood

Titelist 910F 15deg

Setting: B2

Shaft: Diamana I'lima 71 Mid-Hi Flex-S

Driver

Titelist 910D 10.5deg

Setting: B2

Shaft: Diamana 'Ahina 72 Low-Mid Flex-S

My problem is this:

The distances I average are as follows:

Hybrid: 210-220 Yards

3-Wood: 250-270 Yards

Driver: 230-250 Yards

Is there anything in the setup above that suggests a reason why I can quite comfortably out-hit my driver with my 3-wood? Based on my Hybrid and 3-wood distances why arent I getting 260-290 out of my driver?

They are 2nd Hand clubs so I have heard that shafts can deteriorate over time but anything else look obvious?

All advice gratefully received

Thanks!

Welcome to the site..

You have 3 different stock Titleist shafts.

The Diamana Kai'li 80 Hub Mid Flex-R is the mid launch shaft.  The Diamana I'lima 71 Mid-Hi Flex-S is a high launch shaft and the Diamana 'Ahina 72 Low-Mid Flex-S is a low launch shaft.  They all perform differently.

The 'Ahina may be the issue as it is for higher swing speeds and is the heaviest and stiffest of the three.   I had the Kai'li regular, but my fitter switched this out to a higher launching shaft.  I have the ilima stiff in my 4 and 5W and really like it.  It is better than the Kai'li IMO.

Which shaft feels best to you?  Also, what is you driver swing speed and launch?  This would really determine what you need for the driver shaft.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
