Driver Change - Confusing Results!

[Sweet Greggo]

I recently changed from a TM R5 10.5* driver to a TM Burner 9.5* TP driver (TP = clubface 1* open). With my R5 I traditionally played a high fade (not by choice) and a good one went about 270 yds. With the Burner I hit the ball much straighter and a good one goes 300+. I am amazed at the difference.

Question: Why would a club with a more open face result in less high fades that i historically used to play? I would think it would be the other way around.

You are a pretty big hitter so the first place that I would look is the shafts. It would be very common for someone with a relatively late release (generally a good thing) to find that a more flexible shaft closes the clubface more than a stiffer shaft.

This maybe not be the answer, but it would be the first place that I would look.

I can't answer your question, but maybe you can answer mine: Are you related to Robot Greggo, Motorcycle Greggo and Li'l Girl Greggo?

Hmmm - I have lots of relatives, but dont think any of the above share the Sweet Greggo DNA

i believe that the burner tp, even with an open face, still has a draw bias
