OK so I just wrapped up a ball fitting with Bridgestone.
It was actually the same reps that I spoke with at the demo day a few weeks back. Really good guys. Spoke a bunch about tour equipment and other things.
But a few takeaways for me from this ball fitting. I already knew that the B330 line was the best ball for me from Bridgestone but it's the B330 and not to be B330S that suits my game better. Another big Takeaway was swing speed. I could've sworn my swing speed was around 110-112 mph. But on average it was around 120mph on their launch monitor . This is really eye-opening because shaft weight and flex pay a big part with my tempo and SS as they pointed out to me. Both of them did recommend that neither the fubuki that I've been playing in the JGR for the Ahina ion 60 X are the right fit for me. They both recommended a 70g X flex much like the Speeder EVO I tried in the past.
120 mph SS
13* Launch
2656 Spin
268 carry
274 total
They did mention though that with the right shaft I would probably see better overall numbers and they thought I was leaving a lot on the table.
Back to the JGR driver...
They did mention that this was going to produce faster ball speeds and slightly less spin then the J715 overall. But they said it wasn't going to be by much, maybe 2-3mph and 200-300 rpms less.
I did hit the reps J715 8.5* with speeder 757 X shaft and the launch and flight were noticeably different. Much more boring and on the upper end of the Low-Mid flight. It's now the 2nd Time I hit that setup and while it's probably on the lower end of flight I think the JGR with the right 70g X shaft could be a monster
Man, at 120mph, you should be carrying much farther than that. They prob right about that shaft. What were your ball speeds?OK so I just wrapped up a ball fitting with Bridgestone.

great feedback x. one. hundred . twenty. miles per hour?! holy crap that's freaking fast. but dude, i think there is so much potential not being realized right now with your swing. with that speed, launch and spin you should be hitting the ball 300+ on carry alone. just knowing what i saw from the web dot cobra kid a couple weeks ago, you're swinging 4-5mph faster than he is, launching the ball about a degree higher, spinning it within 200rpm +/- that he did, but you're 30 yards behind him in carry. do work!

Did you get a print out? Is so, it would be on there.
Yeah, probably an its ill-fitting shaft. My SS, with a properly fit shaft, is 112-116 avg with ball speeds at 160-165 so Im thinking your ball speeds should be pushing 170 or more. Great stuff man. Thanks for sharing!Somewhere in the 160's. Forgot to snap a pic
Essentially that's what the reps told me as well. The rep almost wanted me to take his driver home but it's the only one he had. Really cool guys. I really need to get on the shaft situation. We had a great discussion not just for my swing but on the overall importance of head and shaft combinations. With that said they do have a cool launch monitor in the swing science system which focuses on factors directly related on the ball at impact. So don't know how accurate that is but yeah I would say it's about 115 or so. Don't think it's at 120 and if it is it's hard for me to wrap my head around it
I got a chance to take a few swings with Kev's JGR yesterday and I'm quite impressed as I thought I would be. I've never seen a driver that launches the ball so high! I only hit it on the range a few times, nothing on course but I watched Kev hammer it all day long. This thing is definitely a solid driver! I hope to get some more opportunities to hit it again!
