Dont quote me im not 100% sure but I belive a draw is about 2 degrees closed I know its not much difference but I belive the driver is closed a degree just to be a bit more forgiving to amatures to help with the left to right slice or as us amateurs call it " fade " lol..

Yeah I think it is 2 degrees closed but since I have a tendencey to hit a draw I set up to the ball with the face a tiny bit open, just a tad more than square. It's only 2 dgrees closed when you rest it on a flat surface, you can use it however you want. It is nothing like draw drivers, which are awkwardly weighted and shaped to make the ball stop slicing. Do you like the driver? I love mine. I'll use it till it breaks. I love the 3 and 5 woods also.

Are you kidding? I just put this stick back in the bag the last 2 months - i have a 9.5 Neutral with stiff shaft - just bought it off the rack back then without any fitting or anything. This thing is the longest driver i ever had - I had quite some problems with slices in the past and getting it airborne - but since i worked this out - this thing just bombs it out there. Same goes for the 3w - awesome forgiving fairway wood - sometimes it baloons on my - but most of the time its just dead solid.

My carry with the driver is about 270y and 230y for the fairway wood on solid shots if i go after it - what can i wish more for.

The TP version or "Tour" versions of drivers are always open.. The regular driver is probably a degrees closed.

The 07 burner is 1* closed. They do make an 07 "draw" version which is 2* closed. It also depends on the brand on how much the face is closed. My Cobra S91 is .5* closed. The Pro version is 1.5* or 2* open.

personally, I didn't like the 07 Burner, I thought it was too much closed and the shaft was way too light and whippy.

It is 1* closed...

Only problem is, if your normal shot is a draw, it will become a hook in a hurry. Lost 7 balls today because the draw became a hook....

If your a slicer, well then, your in luck, you will LOVE IT!!

I still really love this driver, just gotta stop the hands from turning over so fast....

I need an open faced driver

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
