Driver woes...update....

[Bill Miracle]

About a month ago, i posted a thread regarding my driving distance being about 20 yards short. My driver was flying very high. I hit this driver decent when I first purchased it (FT-5 tour, 9.5*, Fuji Fit on 360 stiff).

Anyways, after a woeful day off the tee, cracked that shaft in half out of anger (and I'm not a club breaker).

Brought out an old friend....Hi-BoreXL Tour, 9.5*, v2 stiff....first swing, crack....20 + extra yards and nice flight. That range session was really good. Took it out on the course and things were great.

Can a driver/shaft really make that much difference?

Are you sure it wasn't the swing?

If your spin and launch conditions improved significantly, 20 yards is not unheard of.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Mentally, for me.
I always seem to hit good with my friend's drivers, but that won't last very long. Always have to come back to my 1 year old Tour Burner.

POSITIVE!

Another day of success....

Great results again today. The Callaway affair lasted about 6 months. I hit it good at the beginning and then morphed into hitting a high, spinning drive. I really thought my swing was the problem until I put the Hibore XL back in the bag. I got such a great deal on the Callaway, thought I'd try it out. Glad I busted it now though.
