Why Lay Up

Thanks for both of your responses. and basically explained my situation to a T. I was getting smash from anywhere to 1.4 or lower maxing out to 1.45, which isn’t great by any means. I have fast tempo, pretty steep swing path. I should’ve checked my launch because my fitter was just watching spin numbers, but on the monitor it seemed the only high launches were mishits off the top of the face. The company has a great reputation around me, but that could mean anything. (Not CC, it’s a local shop but has multiple fitters) It’s hard to balance whether it’s my inconsistencies with my swing why the fitting wasn’t as clear or if it was just simply that that particular fitter isn’t as strong. I know it’s a challenge to fit someone who isn’t the greatest golfer in the world but I just know it’s better to get fit to find something then just buying it off the rack. so @RickyBobby_PRwould you still suggest a “max” head if I am struggling to find the center of the face? I know it’s hard to tell without seeing my actual swing and numbers but is it possible the Low spin heads might be better for me?

Hi, just reaching out for some advice. I got fitted yesterday for a new driver. Have been gaming a stock small batch HZRDUS Green in a Sim Max. My club head speed was in the 115-120 range. Ball speed anywhere from 160-170. Im no scratch golfer by any means, just grew up in baseball so speed isn’t an issue. I definitely want forgiveness out of my driver as that’s probably where I’m losing most strokes on the course. He said due to my speeds the “Max” driver versions of each brand would be too spinny, and not nearly all that forgiving, is that accurate? Also, The Shafts they referred me to at the end were the Oban White and Ventus TR Red. I was hitting them well in Low Spin driver heads. (smoke triple diamond, ping lst, TSr3, etc.) it was indoors on track man and my spin numbers on good hits were anywhere from 23-2800, and misses were only 3300 ish. Which is great. My question is should I trust those figures? I never know how treat the sims, and hose two shafts would go against laterally everything I’ve read online for my particular swing speed. I didn’t get to hit them outside. I hit the Ventus Black and those were very good for me too but didn’t have the same Peak ball speeds as the softer Ventus Red/Oban had. any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to make a mistake when I’m about to drop nearly a grand on a driver haha thanks
