Today, I picked up my driver and 4 wood from being re-shafted (Axiv core Black 79 & 89 respectively). While I waited I hit some balls on the indoor "launch monitor" at PGA Tour Superstore in Kennesaw.
Anyway, my club head speed according to this was 100 - 103, however my spin rates were always 3500 plus. Launch angle was consistently 13 ~ 14 degrees. Would love to have the 14 degree 2200 rpm type of launch conditions Brian has recently written about.
With the Titleist driver (9* Aldila S shaft) I could only carry them 240. I hit the new Nike with the Axiv core Black shaft (S) and immediately picked up 15 yards of carry, but the spin was still very high. ( I had hit the shaft before and loved it, which is why I re-shafted my woods with it)
How can I keep my current launch angle and reduce the spin by about 750 rpms? Am I hitting down too much?
Any help is appreciated.
