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?

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 1°-2° 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.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      So far, it's looking pretty even.  The first weekend (the one in May) is probably out, but the others all seem to work in general.  I'll give it until the end of a week for votes and then pick one.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
