2017 M1 3 wood and epic driver

[Dans11]

Hi guys, 

I'm completely new to this so bare with me please.  I'm really interested in getting fitted for the M1 3wood and the standard epic driver. I'm currently playing the G25 driver and 3wood and i was wondering what kind of upgrade in performance I'd be looking at.  I play off 12.6 and swing a driver at 110mph.  Never been fit before and I currently use stock regular shafts ( I know completely wrong for me bt I've only just taken a real interest in the sport recently and discovered that my clubs are bad fit for me.  

I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts and thanks in advance.

I think most people would say that it is not possible to provide any sensible estimations as it depends more on how well you are suited to your current equipment than the equipment itself.

What I can say is that I recently changed from a fitted Callaway V Series Driver and non fitted V Series 3 Wood to a fitted Callaway Epic Driver and a 2016 M2 FW.

For me my older driver was far too spinny and I ended up gaining approx 10m in distance and my dispersion was much better.

For the 3Wood I went from an average of about 190m over the season to a fitted average of 205m.

I will need to see how these figures hold up over the complete 2017 season.

By the way that is with a driver swing speed of approx 97mph

Being honest, nobody here can really give you great advice other than going to a good fitter to see your specific swing data and go from there.  Take your current equipment and compare the data to the new equipment you are testing.  I was never a Callaway guy but after a fitting session I ended up with one.  You have to go into it with an open mind.  Brand loyalty is great but we all want to play our best golf and you may find a Titleist driver performs and feels better to you.

With the weather getting better in the next few months a lot of Demo Days will be going on.  May want to wait and go to some of them to test different types of clubs.  If you want something soon, again, find a good fitter who has a good variety of brands in their shop and see what works best for you.

First time I went to get fitted it was an eye opening experience.  It is well worth the time and extra money to go through the process.

Good post.

@Dans11, there is really no way for anybody to know how much a fitted driver will help you because we don't know how bad of a fit your current driver is.  I will say, though, that you're not going to gain much of anything from the equipment itself - G25 is a great driver, as is M1 or the Epic.

The only advice I'd give is that I'd keep my mind open to other drivers as well.  No need to lock into an M1 or Epic before your fitting - you might find that you prefer a G or a 917D3, etc.

Either way, have fun and good luck.
