I purchased this driver a few weeks ago. I seem to hit a major slice with this driver but I hit all of my previous drivers straight (Ping G10, Taylormade R9)? What may be the problem?


Post a video of your swing if you can.

Different drivers will have differing lengths, overall weights, swing weights, flex characteristics, etc...

Did you hit this driver before you bought it?

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

i bought (at a great price) a superfast and then got rid of it after 2 rounds. if you check the length you will probably find it an inch and a half longer then your previous driver. some people have no problem with this but it just didn't work for my swing.

Okay, i help you. your drivers straight (Ping G10, Taylormade R9)  are same loft and flex?

I stick to 8.5 loft driver all time. I have three different driver tour are all same loft. I dislike mix number loft on drivers.

However about a graphite shaft is very tough job. Which is best graphite match for your swing? from (Ping G10, Taylormade R9)



Unfortunately, I do not get all my drivers fitted as my local pro shops do not "custom fit" shafts, weights etc.. I use the stock shafts that come with the drivers. May this be the problem?


What flex is the shaft and what is your swing speed?  The Superfast 2.0 might be a bit longer than your other drivers as well.  Even though pro shops don't have demo's they will sometimes wrap the head to protect it and allow you to hit one off the rack.

Along with the playing length being longer and flex, the loft could be off too.  Did you change advertised lofts, or stay the same?  It's not uncommon for a head to be labeled one loft number, only to be measured at 1Β°-2Β° off, or even more.  For a lot of folks, the flatter the club face, the more prone they are to slicing the ball.


TM adds distance by making the club longer, Being not so tall can make you slice with a longer club. Also it can be a different weighted shaft. Lot of things change in drivers. Head to the range and try choking down a little bit and see if that helps, if it does you can go and cut it down an inch or two and your good to go.

Cut mine down 11/2 and still slices bad but has reg. flex shaft. My stiff shaft Calloway goes straight.
