The 3 biggest reasons why your driver is not optimized – and how you can repair them

We all know how frustrating it can be to have a driver with whom you can’t find the Fairway, but it can be just as strange as you know that you are leaving recruiting on the table.

Both can be the result of a poorly fitting driver, in which case it is time to ensure that you are optimized to get the driver who will get the furthest and the straight test every time.

Keep reading below to see if you should get in your local real specification and get the best driver for your game.

How far can you get an optimized driver?

First, let’s set up a clear benchmark for good performance from the driver. For every adjustment of the driver, I do my best to find 2.7 meters for every 1 km / h club speed that a player has. For a player who swings around 80 km / h, a well -fitting driver must allow them to hit the ball 215 meters. For someone who winds 100 km / h, a well -affected disk must go a total of 270 meters. For the golfer that is at 110 mph, a well-hit disc has to roll out to 297-300 meters.

Can you put your driver too far?

There will be cases where we will find more than 2.7 meters per 1 km / h; In those cases, however, we start to sacrifice control because the spider speed is too low. This golfer will have an elliptical shot pattern, where his or her longer drives are earlier left and more controlled discs are moderate to the right of the intended goal line.

You could claim that the longest discs of this player are the result of a double cross-miss and the battle location on the face saved the ball to be outside the borders.

His extra bonus distance is a fugazi for this player. Typical starting data of a golfer like this are 103 MPH Club head speed, 13-14 degrees launch, run between 1600-1900 RPMS and roll out to around 285 Yards.

Out of unfortunate personal experience, this is not a pleasant wave. For the most part, my long left -wing miss or my face is too closed to my path or the battle location that is too high on the driver’s face.

Why the driver of a golfer may not be optimized

Although my expierce is not necessarily that of an average golfer, here are the top three reasons why your Driver can cost you Yardage and accuracy.

1. Strike location on the face: A ball that is hit everywhere, but the center of the face will create a level of gear effect on the ball, which will have a positive or negative consequence.

A strike that is to the heel will ensure that the ball fades and increases the spider. A strike that is low on the face will also increase the spider. A strike on the face that is to the toe of the driver ensures that the face of the driver will open slightly on the collision, resulting in the ball that pulls to the goal line. Finally, a ball high on the face will result in a drop in spider – if it is too high, the ball will fight and not reach its optimum peak height.

2. Face-to-path is too open/closed compared to your path: This is where getting fit for an axle that fits your swing, has the most impact on your game. For someone who has a hard time keeping the club face open for longer at Impact, a stiffer shaft with a softer handle (eg Mitsubishi Diana White Board, Fujikura Ventus Black) can be useful.

For the opposite problem, a player can how difficult to squad the face, a shaft that is stiffer in the handle and has a softer tip section, sometimes useful (for example Fujikura Ventus Red, Mitsubishi Tensei 1k Pro Blue, Graphite Design Tour AD XC).

However, we have also seen the opposite work for the examples just invested, and that is why it is important to test equipment in an adjustment and not to base a decision on how a shaft was put on the market.

3. Spin Loft. Spin Loft is the difference between your dynamic loft (loft at impact) and your perspective. If you have a fairly neutral face-to-path and you do not hit the heel and/or low on the face, a spinning loft number that is too big is probably the problem.

Real Spec Golf Club Fitting

With 70,000+ Clubhead and Schachtcombo’s, True Spec Golf will fit and build a precise set of clubs.

On the other hand, if you feel that your ball is falling out of the sky and not reaching its top, the spinning loft is not enough, assuming that the ball was not high or toe.

For players who swing to the north of 105 MPH, we are looking for a spin -loft (with Foresight GC quad numbers) in the Lage 14s. For slower players we need more spider to reach optimal distances, which is why we are looking for spider loft value around 15 to 15.5 degrees.

If you notice that you do not get a lot of 2.7 meters for every 1 km / h from club head speed, book a suitable with us at True Spec, so that we can help you play the best wave you can.
