I don't know if this should go here or in clubs.
My Callaway GBB Epic has been costing me about 5-7 strokes every round this year. Five shots go into the woods. Sometimes it takes two to escape. My miss is a 35 yd slice. Swing path out to in with an open club face. Every now and then I catch it right and it goes straighter... usually a slight pull that's on the left side of the fairway. I have zero confidence with it.
So Monday, I went to get fit... the driver was "too new" to need a new one. So I ended up with a 3W. Cobra F9. Funny thing is that I have an in to out swing with it and hit a draw. Occasionally my miss is a push fade (still in to out swing). Fine, I'm in the fairway but I lose 20 yds.
Not wanting to give up the 20 yds. I called Ping today and told them about my miss and swing path issues. Their standard length is 45-3/4". I want a 44" driver. They can build it and will do weight balancing. I heard their G410 is more forgiving than my grandmother was. But I tried the Taylormade Original One Mini first, and like every Taylormade driver I've ever tried, I sliced the bejeezus out of it. So I ended up with a 44" G410 Plus 12 degree with an Alta CB 65 shaft instead of the CB 55. I hit a sweet spot with the heavier shaft. I can feel the drop better. It will be here in about a week or so.
The interesting thing here is how my swing shallows with the shorter club.
