Hello everyone I have played with ProV1 and TP5 and found I got more distance with the TP5. I went to a driver fitting and used my TP5 for the fitting. With all the different club selections, I briefly (couple of shots) got my spin down below 2900. I thought I would look for a ball that might spin less and tried out the Callaway ERC. Since I started playing with the ERC, my drives while playing, have been longer by about 10-15 yards. My assumption is that I am getting less spin on the ball and the result (for me) is a longer drive. The only issue now is that, I can't seem to hold the greens as well and get more roll and bounce around the greens. I am thinking I would like to try a golf ball that spins more than the ERC and less than the TP5 - any suggestions? thank you

we initially tried the 10.5 with the taylormade and a couple of different shafts. those combinations generated more spin then 9.

I checked with my club pro during my lesson with him today. He told me that we are going to continue to work on my AoA (in our lessons) and to wait a while to see if we can improve it more. If we can, then another fitting/testing may show a different driver/shaft combination. He also mentioned that club champion is expensive, but the shafts they get are tour quality (not consumer quality). Our pro has played on the tour. Bottom line, I am going to wait and keep working on AoA. If I can get it to the +3, +5 range, then I will go back for a fitting (not necessarily club champion). I like all the feedback and comments - good conversation. Thank you !

good ideas and good feedback - thank you everyone ! No decision for me yet, I will research this (to death) and waffle for a while before I pull the trigger. I will definitely talk to my club pro Luis

one more piece of info. The Ping G425 Max and Tensei 1K Pro White 50 Stiff combo had a swing weight of D6. In looking it up, Ping G425 Max and PING Alta CB 55 Slate Graphite has a swing weight of D3. From what I am reading, there is a difference.

At club champion, I had an AoA of 1.7 with Ping and 1.3 with my club (I took swings with my club during so I could compare). I continue to work on AoA with my pro, but my progress is inconsistent. I see my index is wrong - I am a 15 I am correcting it in my profile. Luis

Thanks Adam - good question. I don't understand what counterbalanced, but I am going to do some research on it. I am sending the email to the guy who fitted me. Luis

Hello everyone I went for a driver fitting at golf champion yesterday. My swing speed is 87-90 and have an overall total yardage around 205-215 (my arccos stat). I am currently working with my local pro on improving my swing with the driver. One area where I am losing distance is Angle of Attack (AoA). On trackman, I really struggle to get a positive AoA, I am mostly in the -1 to -4 range. When I am able to get it positive (+3 to +5), I gain about 20-25 yards. My results with club champion were: Tried driver heads from Taylormade SIM2 max, Callaway Epic Max, Ping Max 425 G, Mizuno, and different shafts. Settled on the Ping G425 9-degree and Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Pro White 50 Stiff. The improvement over my existing Wishon 919 and Ozik Red Tie 70 Stiff shaft were: less spin 3270 to 3080, tighter dispersion, and total distance improvement from 211 to 230. I don't want to spend $1000 for a new driver (club champion cost for driver and shaft). I can buy a Ping G410 Plus with Alta CB 55 for $345. Or Ping G425 with Alta for $500. If I go with the G410 Plus or G425 with Alta shaft, do you think I will keep the potential gain I saw at club champion? Does the Ping driver model make a difference? Or will Ping G425 with Alta - give me most of what the Tensei shaft gives me? I am interested to know what everyone thinks. thank you for your feedback, Luis

I placed my order on 7/14 - and received the same message. Support says they are shipping out starting late september. If you ordered one now, the website says you should get it in November. So I am guessing, I should receive mine in less than 3 weeks (otherwise, I would be really disappointed). I don't like having the phone in my pocket and the app burns through my battery. That being said - I can't wait - I like the product. Luis

I use a video delay on my iphone/ipad. With the video delay, I can take my swing, set the video delay for 8-10 seconds. Then after a swing, I can walk back to the device and view my swing. I don't need to press / stop / rewind, etc. I believe there are other apps out there, but I use BaM Video Delay for apple.

I use BAM (video delay) IOS app (for apple devices). I use this at home, I mount an ipad on a tripod and setup the video behind me. The app "films" you and then the actual video is delayed (I set it for 3-8 seconds depending on the club) so after you swing you can turn to the ipad (what I use) and see the swing you just took. This way I don't have to stop and press rewind and start it again. Very easy to use.
