I just tried out my new Callaway BB Diablo Driver!!!

[nelson84]

I just picked up my new driver that I bought on ebay for next to nothing. It is a Big Bertha Diablo, stiff shaft and it is a draw. I developed a slight slice and now it has straightened it out. Very happy with it and it sounds great when I hit the ball. I will never buy another club in a store, ebay from here on out.

uh oh! another swing-fixing club!

just kidding. congrats on finding your driver. i looked at one at golfsmith and couldnt get my head around that funky arc shaped head. mean looking

If you hit it dead straight with that driver, do you end up drawing or hooking it?

lol if he hit it dead straight it would be neither, right?

What he's asking is if a person who hits the ball dead straight with a neutral driver hits with the draw driver, what will happen?

dont think so. he said if you hit it dead straight with "that driver". maybe he meant what you said. i just thought it sounded funny.

I read it as him wondering if you'd hook a draw-biased club if you hit a neutral club straight. I'd assume you would, at least a little.

i would assume it would cause you to draw it being that its draw bias and you hit it straight normally, but a slice as he also asked? not likely

I'm not up on all the golf words such as hooking but I know what a slice is( curves to the right) I think. What is it if you hit it to the left a shank? or is that a hook?

But anyways, I have a couple of other callaways( biggest big bertha,hawkeye VFT). I know these are old clubs. But my point is they are both neutral and I seem to hit them 4 times out of 10 to the right(slice). But this new diablo hits straight it is a draw 10*. Maybe its all in my head but it works for me. I seem to never hit it left. When I was a teenager I never had a slice problem but now it is working better. I don't know if its the longer length of the new club or maybe I'm standing different.

assuming you're right handed and hit it left thats a hook, pull, pull hook, OMG WTF! etc.

its in your head but more in you're wrists. most people who slice have an outside in swing path and fail to turn the wrists over to square up the clubface

Oh I see. I notice when I swing forward, my left wrists locks up for more cranking power and maybe it isn't coming around.

Yes I am a righty. What the heck is a shank? I hope thats not a bad word?

i call anything that fires off on a 45 degree angle left or right about neck high a shank. lol

thats what happened to me. i have played a Neutral FT-i for the past 2 years. then i went to a draw biased Mizuno MX-700 driver and i hooked the crap out of it. now the ft-i is back in the bag and the ball is going straight as ever, just not as long as the MX-700. not sure if the ft-i is just fatigued (over 2 years of play, 3 rounds per week) or if its really 10-15 yards shorter than the MX-700
