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

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
