My swing speed was measured at only 86mph.  I have been fitted with an RIP 60 REG and it feels great.  To be honest, although there is no set standard in shaft flex, most of the regulars I have tried in Titleist clubs all feel "firm"

Remember when Callaway produced the Warbird and the Great Big Bertha?  They had three main shaft flexes - Regular, Firm and Stiff.  I always found the firm shaft to be ample for my swing speed which hasn't changed a great deal.

The only reason why I went to "stiff" was because when I bought the old 975D, the choice was limited to regular, stiff and extra stiff and somehow I convinced myself, (more like kidded myself!) that was what I needed.  I thought regular was for wusses and pensioners - how wrong I was!

I have a question which i am going to post out in a new thread soon.

Does anyone know the torque load setting for the tool that is supplied with the driver?

This will be in inch.pounds or Nm.

Having bought the fairway and hybrid too and finding that the tool is only supplied as an optional extra that must be paid for seperate I was hoping I could utilise a torque wrench in my tool box if need be or if I come to sell on, maybe provide an old Taylor Made tool that might use the same settings.

Yeah,

Well, some of you might think I am just trying to be "cool" by getting stiff 9.5 but really, come watch me hit a few with my driver now and tell me what you think. I am ballooning some of my shots and they get like all carry and no roll out. My trajectory is so high with my driver I am actually losing carry distance. Also my shots to tend to spray off left sometimes especially with my fairway woods which are a very flexy regular. And I am still growing so the driver I get I will use for approx 2 years.

I didn't know you had to buy the surefit wrench seperatly. Doesn't it come with the driver though?

    • Ok, that makes sense. I was trying to wrap my head around that concept when I was writing my post.   
    • 78 today at Minnesott (36 front / 42 back) - a new first with an even par on the front.  A big day of up and downs for par.  Only 26 putts against 4 GIR and 5 nGIR.  Was a CPO (cart path only) day due to recent rains.  Overall game was on - until 18 where I was looking at having a first “no-sixes” and made a triple 7 (tee shot in the lake, 2nd tee in fairway, shot 4 approach to right of green pin high, shot 5 bogie on the green, long two putts for triple 7.  Still a solid round and new personal best. 
    • I believe that 76 bpms is the tour average (or somewhere around that). I think that's from taking it back to impact. I'm not 100% sure of exactly how it works since a typical pendulum is already moving when it starts going back. The putter on the throughswing ideally would work pretty much exactly like a pendulum though. To get the exact same time period from starting the putter back to impact, you'll have to accelerate it a lot faster on a longer putt right at the beginning until it gets to the speed it needs to be to make the putter move the right distance. Probably all way too much to think about while actually hitting a putt, but bottom line is I agree entirely that a metronome is a good thing to use if you're working on your putting tempo. As to the split between backstroke and downstroke, the tour tempo lot said 2:1 is the ideal. 3:1 for full swing. 2:1 for short game and putting. Whenever I go on a SAM I am about 1.7:1 I think and I can't for the life of me get my backstroke to be slow enough to get it to 2:1. Ho hum. Last comment - if you do have a perfect pendulum putting stroke and you have the ball slightly forward of the center of your stance, then the putter should be just starting to rise again at impact and with the way that pendulum motion works, it should be very slightly decelerating at impact, which I believe someone may have suggested once 😛 
    • Was going to chime in on Erik’s videos - they were and are solid teaching on better putting.  
    • I'm a big fan of the metronome. I forget what my actual numbers were, but something like 0.59 seconds: my backswings, regardless of the length of the putt, is 0.59 seconds (or 0.72 or whatever the actual number was). The period of a pendulum is determined by the length of the pendulum. So, to hit a putt harder, you take it back farther… in the same amount of time. So you have to swing it faster, and thus, it comes through faster. The putter head has to travel faster to travel farther in the same amount of time. Everyone tends to have a "beat" that they like. For some it's slower, and they have to make bigger backswings to make a putt go the same distance as someone like Brandt Snedeker. It also has a metronome IIRC. 😄
