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

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
