Hi. Thought I would post a few quick thoughts on some first hits with a few drivers today.
i should say that I'm 55, 5 8, and slight with a driver swing speed of 90. I've needed help getting the ball in the air.
there have been some great reviews, comments and thoughts about various drivers on here, so I decided to try a few. Thanks to everyone.
i tried all clubs around 11.5 deg with the default stock regular shafts. For each adjustable club I hit a few shots at different settings to try to improve the flight and results.
started with ping g25.
lofted up a bit. Felt very sweet, nice launch and I was getting decent dispersion. Getting about 225 carry which is good for me.
Then mizuno jpx ez.
for me most results were very similar to the ping, except I was spraying it around a bit. poor dispersion.
then hit the callaway x2 hot. Got very consistent ball flight and very tight dispersion. Was quite surprised but I liked the feel off the club.
then hit the sldr.
it was probably the longest by a touch but I lofted up to max and it felt so heavy off the head. Boring flight but I couldn't keep it on line and it felt so hard and heavy off the face.
then the big Bertha.
loved the feel, nice flight and narrow dispersion but was just lacking any punch.
overall for me, the x2 hot gave me the most consistent nice high flying launch angle with a very gentle draw, set at 10.5 + 2 and draw.
Only thing is, I would like to hit this against the bio cell which they didn't have.
it just highlighted to me how important having a proper analysed session is, as these results certainly surprised me.
i was also using what they called high quality range balls, so it gave me a better idea of the sort of flight I would get with the different sticks..
would love to get something soon as the season starts...
