Stopped in at a PGASS yesterday to see if I had my 815 setup correctly and they were very helpful. Jumped up there and hit about 10 balls and here's what my avgs were:
Project X LZ 6.0
10.5* D/S Core Up
102 SS
151 Ball Speed
LA 10.9*
Spin 3800
The guy there said I should keep it the way it was. Any thoughts?
I know some are going to comment on the spin, but honestly, given the LA and SS its in a pretty good place IMO. It'll aid you, not hinder. I think we are in a "seeking out the lowest spin I can" phase in golf after some campaigns like the 17/1700 one, when in reality some need the spin to not knuckle the ball and to actually get it up. I need a little more spin myself.
Better question is, how're you hitting it on the course brotherman?
I've always thought of myself as a low spin guy as well, but I've really been working on my grip and now I'm hitting it higher than ever, which I love. I'm hitting driver about as well and as consistent as I ever have, though. It used to be a big liability.
I used to play it at 11.5 to help with launch, but with that much spin do you think I'd see a benefit going to 9.5?
now some day we just need to tee it up!

James,So, I took this back out yesterday after playing the XR for a few rounds exclusively and I have to say....
This is the best driver I have found, for me, this year by a good margin. Honestly, it fits my miss best.
Correct! Depends on if the core is up or down. Imo it performs best on the miss the same direction the core is set. In mine it's up.James,
Your miss is vertical, correct? How does the 815 respond to strikes lower on the face?

Do you still have both heads Jman? I'm interested in which of these two (XR or 815 core down) has the lower CG, and also which has the most forward CG. Have you tried anything like TO did in that video where he balanced heads on wooden dowels to investigate which might be lowest, most forward? Or do you have info from CG to differentiate them? Oh also your XR was the standard right, not the Pro? Thanks in advance for any info you might have.So, I took this back out yesterday after playing the XR for a few rounds exclusively and I have to say....

Do you guys feel this is a big step up in terms of forgiveness from last years alpha? I like my alpha when my swing is on but lately I've been a bit off and I feel I'm really being punished. Would I see a noticeable increase in forgiveness between the two?
