So I bought an X2 Hot driver last year to replace my R11S. Everything was going fine up to a couple of months ago when I began implementing some swing and set up changes. I was hitting the X2 Hot straight, but I was losing distance. But at the same time I had picked up distance on all the other clubs in the bag.
Basically my ball flight was ballooning. It would travel 220ish or so and the just fall out of the sky with little to no run. Adjustments didn't matter. It was basically the same. Lo and behold, I take the old R11S to the range and hit it alongside and I am outdriving the X2 Hot by at least 20 yards without the ballooning. Bottom line is that the X2 is out of the bag now.
Now I am still wondering what the reason for this sudden decline in diatance with the X2 is from. I believe has to do with the spin and launch angle the swing changes I implemented caused.
Has this happened to anyone else before? If so, what are your thoughts?
Bonus question : is it still cool to Gane a R11S or should I expect ridicule during my round tomorrow morning?
