What are the best set ups for distance. 

I have a 10.5 M2, cranked down to a 8.5

But I also have a 9.0 M2 head, that I want to crank down. 

Has anyone made a chart that has detailed the pros and cons of the different M2 heads with the various lie and loft angle settings? 

I have a feeling it is better to have a higher loft and crank it down, but I'd welcome thoughts from posters with handicaps under 5. Thanks.

I have not made a chart like you described.

That being said, I would figure a pureist such as yourself would only play a persimmons driver and not a forgiving M2.

Don't dismiss the knowledge of people just based on handicap. Having unwarranted prejudices is not good.

This would be impossible to generalize. It would depend 100% on the golfer's swing. Also, it depends on the golf shaft as well. This wouldn't be worth doing at all.

And you spelled this thread title "Taloymade" until I fixed it.

That's enough out of you tonight. Enjoy your timeout. Record time for a non-spammer this year, easily. Great job.

Im not sure why a person of your knowledge and experience would even ask such question here or are you just looking for replies you can slam

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
