I've been gaming a g400 driver 10.5*, for about a year now, but I've never actually hit this one on simulator to get data. On the course I would say well hit shots fly pretty high, with an "average" amount of run out. Shaft is Mitsubishi diamana 72 stiff flex, the older flower band one, loft set at 10.5, playing at 44.5", D3+ swing weight. I was fit to this shaft several years ago at a demo day, and have just carried it over to the last several drivers I've had. Golf ball used was an older callaway chrome + mostly because I had a few in my bag, and I played 18 with it yesterday, and would say ball flight looked good on the course.

Unlike the irons, I thought I had a decent idea what my numbers were based on numbers from other drivers I have hit on a simulator vs what I'm seeing on the course. I also kinda think I know where they should be. Based on the ball flight I'm seeing, I was expecting launch to be a little higher than where it should be maybe in the 14-15 range, and spin to be in the 2600-2800 range. So needless to say I was surprised to see the launch lower than expected, and the spin quite a bit higher than expected. I was also surprised to see the smash at 1.39, I thought it was closer to 1.44 last time I hit on a simulator, with other drivers. As stated, I normally see average (5-10% of carry) run out on the course, so 8 yards of run out seemed lower than what I typically see. Above numbers are an average of 15 shots, with obvious miss hits thrown out.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
