“that's almost 20 yards from your gamer”

A fitting for a 14-handicap used added loft, a lighter shaft and the flat setting to raise launch into the optimal window and pick up nearly 20 yards over the golfer's old gamer while keeping it straight.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 1 cons
  • +Loft, shaft and lie adjustability to dial in launch and start line
  • +Flat setting straightens a left miss without changing loft
  • +Gained roughly 20 yards over old driver
  • −Needed fitting changes to reach optimal launch

For: Mid-handicap golfers with an old driver who want more carry through a fitting
