So after my round today, I had my JetSpeed in the back of my SUV and I went to the range. Hit about two dozen balls with each. The JetSpeed is the HL version so it was playing 14* while the F6 was playing at 11.5 D. JetSpeed was stock shaft (Matrix Velox 49g IIRC) and the F6 had a Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue 65g. The JetSpeed clearly had a much higher launch even with the F6 weight set to towering. I could get the F6 higher with placing the ball more forward, but when I did that the slice creeped in, so I am much more comfortable playing it in the middle of my front foot. By the looks downrange, I was of course getting tons more roll out and for a majority of the courses I play down here ... that roll-out is going to amount to a good bit of distance. Also, the F6 was much easier to control. For me, a poorly struck shot results in a two way miss, but compared to the JetSpeed, the miss still either places me on the edge of the fairway or just off. In my round today, aside from the two total stink-bombs I hit off tee, everything was clearly playable, and I had two 235+ drives which as the weather warms up is becoming more and more common.
