Hey MGS,

 

I likely should have been on this forum long ago. But anyways, I am here now and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sully, owner of BombTech golf.

 

I just wanted to make myself available if you had any questions regarding our design, product or whatever!

 

I look forward to talking with you soon.

Thanks Brad! I honestly never thought we would go from one driver to fairway woods, hybrids, a putter and now wedges. But I asked customers what they want and that's what they said..Who knows best right? 

 

Yes I'm looking forward to the test as well.

Thanks! As long as the testers hit the ball we should do well! Sometimes that's tough for all of us. Talk soon.

Welcome to the Forums Sully -- how are you making out in this year's storm of the century?  Haven't heard how Vermont is doing...

Thanks. It missed us. Only 5 inches so far. But Boston area about 3 hours from us got 3 feet!

It was pretty cool I logged onto the sight and was greeted by Sully himself. BTW Sully if you're in Vermont I have a good friend who's a member at Vermont National.

Welcome Sully! I really like the looks of your driver. Hopefully it will do well in the test. Best of luck!

Welcome Sully, great to see you expanding your lineup and looking forward to seeing the results on the test!

Sully - if you check in can you give us a bit more detail on the SLDR vs. Bomb Tech video - what was the head shaft combo on each club and were either fitted to the fellow hitting the shots?  He has a great swing btw.

Nice! Small world. I did a demo day there last year and I hope to do a few more this Spring and summer and hopefully have time to play the course. Too busy building Grenades...clubs that is..

Great questions. 

 

The video was done by Jeremy, he works at Ernest Sports. Which is the company that made the launch monitor used in the video.  We were talking and he was doing his own personal testing and got great results with the Grenade, so I asked if he would shoot a video.  

 

As you can see, he is a nasty golfer. 1 Handicap and a consistent swing.  The SLDR used was his own custom set up with a Matrix RUL 60 shaft, Stiff flex at 45.5 inches set to 12*.  He was testing our Grenade 10.5 Stiff flex at 45.5 inches. So the loft is clearly less more the the SLDR, but a 12* SLDR likely launches similar to our 10.5.

 

The video was to show head to head with his current custom driver.  The numbers are low for both clubs because he was using range balls. 

 

Does that make sense?

Thanks and yes across the board - I play the SLDR and it launches very low so you need a higher loft - I'd love to know what his launch angle and spin rates were for both drivers - I'm assuming the distances given were total distance - that would mean he had less spin with the Grenade - it would be very tough to get a carry distance of 280 with a ball speed of 155.

 

Of course I would love a ball speed of 155 and a carry distance of 230 would be fine.

Yes it was on the ES14 launch monitor system.  So it was total distance, but ball speeds and total should be higher but limited flight range balls do what they say...limit flight. So both the Taylormade and Grenade should be longer and have higher ball speeds.
