OMG I am so excited.
So I just came back from golf town. It was empty and a fellow working in there who also happened to be my old neighbour set me up to hit some balls on the simulator and he said it's all yours. Most important thing. I never hit a ball off a simulator. I didn't know my swing speed or any other info.
He set me up and off I went wacking at the ball.
The clubs:
1) Callaway RAZR FIT 10.5 with R flex factory shaft. Set a Neutral.
2) Callaway RAZR FIT 9.5 with S flex factory shaft. Set a Neutral.
Man these clubs are sexy.
A little bit of history. I'm a chronic slicer and could not carry over 220 yards. With the 1 in 100, 240 yard shot. I'd go 220 out and 50 left. I'm a lefty.
Session 1: (Ball was teed 3/4 above club crown at address)
1) Callaway RAZR FIT 10.5 with R flex factory shaft. Set at Neutral.
Swing speeds:100-105mph
Yardage: 220 Yards Avg.
Launch angle: 18-19 Deg.
Back Spin: 5000-6000
Shot trajectory: Slice left
2) Callaway RAZR FIT 9.5 with S flex factory shaft. Set ay Neutral.
Swing speeds:100-105mph
Yardage: 220 Yards Avg.
Launch angle: 18-19 Deg.
Back Spin: 5000-6000
Side Spin: 1000rpm
Shot trajectory: Slice Left
That’s right. I had identical results with the same club, two different shafts and different lofts. You’re not seeing things.
So my old neighbour comes by after hitting around 50 balls and looks at me hit one and looks at the numbers.
He tells me right away I'm teeing up to high. He changed the tee. He told me why I should tee lower to drop the launch angle and that would reduce backspin also.
So we change two things. 1 we lowered the tee height to have the ball around 1/2 diameter higher than the crown of the club at address. 2 ROTATE THOSE HIPS. I was using my arms to much and trying to punch out the ball with my arms. He took me through the motions.
OMG. In 3 minutes this guy fixed everything. I'M CURED.
Session 2: (Ball was teed 1/2 above club crown at address)
1) Callaway RAZR FIT 10.5 with R flex factory shaft. Set at Neutral.
Did not hit. After looking at my swing speeds he told me not to bother with regular shafts. So one of my major questions where now answered. I never knew my swing speed before and what shaft I should be playing.
2) Callaway RAZR FIT 9.5 with S flex factory shaft. Set at Neutral.
Swing speeds:105-110mph. Even registered 2 swings at 115mph.
Yardage: 275 Yards Avg. Even hit a few at 290. Dang.
Launch angle: 12-13 Deg.
Back Spin: 1500-2500
Side Spin: 100-200 rpm
Shot trajectory: DEAD STRAIGHT with the odd fade.
I'm cured. Who would of thought two simple moves would have solved 15 years of agonizing slicing and no distance on my drives.
