I would think if your still hitting a fade check to make sure you have the MWT set to high draw..

He said he had it set to draw. Plus the non-TP 460 is already somewhat draw biased - putting 2 in the heel and 14 in the toe gets it back to neutral weighting, but the face is still just a little closed.

Did you have an R flex in the previous driver? Why did you switch? Were you hitting the 300e well?

My driving distance with my previous driver is an average 220 m carry...with regular Japanese shaft I expect to have my driving furhter with my new driver as I belive it has a lot of roll...my local pro suggest me to close my right wrist early in my downswing.but I didint hit well even I hit straight..lack of distance only 180 something ....my new driver also has japanese version shaft. I'm 46 yrs old..do you think Im too old to handle those driver..?

      Day 2 1 hour of range work, muni range in Van Nuys. Focusing still on weight shift, starting forward shift earlier. Seeing some progress. Little bit of chipping work.

      Day 244 (3 Jan 24) - Friday men’s group round - a really solid front nine at one over 37 from the gold tees. Out of the 8 pars - six were up and downs…the lone bogie included a water ball penalty stroke.  At the turn, game shifted to my typical reality as it was a 45 with open and close dbls on 10 and 18, with five bogies and two pars strewn in between. Still a solid 82 overall - with 28 total putts (incl one 3 putt) 5 GIR and 5 nGIR.   Oh the highlight of the day - the ladies’ teaching pro was in our foursome and she was very complimentary of my overall approach and wedge game.  It made those drills in the backyard well worth the time spent.
