Driver Fitting

[RetiredOldMan]

Played a round of Golf at Crazy Horse in Hutchinson, Kansas. (Nice and Challenging)

Although I only lost one ball and I played from the Men's tee, I was terrible. 

So, I rested up a few days and went to the Golf Center to be fitted for a new driver. I like Callaway and had been hitting a stiff shaft FT-5 driver. 

I warmed up with a 7 iron and then started with a Maverick head and a regular shaft. This caused a constant draw that I didn't much care for. Also, my distance was around 170 yards. 

Tried several different things and still the performance was pitiful. 

Finally, went to a stiff shaft and started hitting the middle of the fairway and increased distance to around 175 yards. 

As a last resort, I went back to my old Callaway FT-5 Driver, 10.5 loft, and set up for a slight draw. 

Distance went to 185 and finally just shy of 200 yards. Swing speed of the driver was 80 mph. 

So, I am selling my Hybrids and going back to my conventional irons and original driver. 

I am tired and frustrated trying to make my Senior Flex clubs perform like my conventional clubs. I wonder how long it will take me to build back up to 200 + yard drives. (Which I was doing before I started trying to hit my Senior Flex Hybrids.) 

BTW, I was hitting a Srixon golf ball on the simulator. Just before I left, I grabbed a Titleist DT Soft, red letter, golf ball and drove it 200 yards using my old driver. (Just saying)

Anyway, did not spend $500+ yesterday. 

Waiting for the weather to warm up to head back out. Currently, 31* and snowing.

P.S.>Time to get back to playing for fun and learn to enjoy bogey golf.
