Has anyone tested these drivers against eachother, I want to know if you can get more draw with the BB as it has a removable weight in the heel that you could increase the weight from 5gr to 15gr as well as the sliding weight, as compared to the GBB that hasnt got a removable weight just the sliding weight.
 
The sliding weight on the GBB is heavier to influence more draw bias when in a similar position on the 2014 BB.

But it's only 2g different I am talking about making the heel side 10g heavier by changing the 5g to 15g

Its all about placement in/on the head as well as the internal weighting, with the GBB, the weight on the heel was no longer necessary.

I gamed and reviewed both. You can get more draw bias with the GBB.

Did you ever replace the 5g weight with the 15g weight in the BB

A bit, but it effected swing weight more than anything.

The BB is a damn good driver, still, but the GBB is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT better in terms of ball speed retention (forgiveness) and the sliding weight is even more effective.

I posted my averages in the GBB thread from my time testing them on Dick's monitor.

Ok Jman thanks for all of your help one of the reasons I was looking at the BB was that I could shorten it an inch and put the 15g weight in and only lose 1 swing weight and get more draw bias also. I might just have to try the GBB if it is as good as you say it is.
