Yes there is, and it's EASY TO FIND!.. :) 

 

Just click on the link below, then scroll down to Post #77 for detailed and illustrated instructions on how to apply 'The SLDR Fix'.  

 

Note:  'The SLDR Fix' applies to 'Retail only' 2013-2014 SLDR Drivers, (the 430, 460, and the Silver 'S' Model).  The SLDR Fix is not applicable for any of the Tour-issued models, or the SLDR-C model, as both of those have a different type of weighting scheme.

Here are a few examples of SLDR Drivers with 'The SLDR Fix' applied!  As you can see, there are several ways you can apply it, (you can use rubber/tungsten peel-and-stick weights, extra blue sliders and a toe screw, or some high density lead tape).  

 

CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW and SCROLL DOWN TO POST #77 for complete details on just HOW to apply 'the fix' and how it resolves the original (Retail) SLDR's forgiveness issues!

 

Applicable to the original 2013-2014 SLDR Retail models only!.

(Including the 430, 460, and the Silver 'S' Model).  This 'Fix' is not applicable for Tour-issued SLDR's or the 2015 SLDR-C model as those drivers have different weighting schemes.

As always... played my faithful SLDR today but it rejected my swing. Only 6 fairways out of 13 attempts. One was a crazy right block on 18. The other misses were off the FW by only a few yards.

Putter was a joy with 4 birdies and a ton of bogies. 76!

I guess I'd better get back in on this. As I've mentioned in a few other posts I'm still bagging the SLDR 460 I got in the review back in 2014. It's still original but with one or two minor paint chips and grip changes. I also have a ShotMaker installed. I've mentioned many times.... the SLDR 460 has been a great reliable and accurate club. So much so I just recently purchased another one to keep on standby in case this one cracks or something one day.

 

I've also been tinkering around some with a 2015 Fly-Z+ I bought recently. I'm currently trying different shafts to see if I can find one that works. I'm next going to try the same shaft (TM Fujikura Speeder 57 S-flex) as my SLDR. Just waiting for it to arrive with the Cobra adapter. I don't have high expectations and don't think I really care either. I'd love to bag the FZ+ just because I like the looks of the club. But I can't ditch the SLDR if the FZ+ can't at least match it's performance.

 

I received the TM/Fujikura shaft (see above) a couple of weeks ago I guess it was. I have not given it a try yet in the FZ+ head. But, just last night I installed it in the FZ+ head just to take a look. As I've mentioned before - possibly in another post; I have my SLDR set at 12* loft and have been playing it successfully at that loft for several years now. When I ordered the newest shaft I had the seller install a Cobra adapter that would loft-up to 12*. I am told or have read the FZ+ head is a 9.5* static loft head. It's not identified/printed on the head like most drivers. The other shafts I've tried so far would only adjust up to 11.5* and didn't feel, launch, flight to my liking either. These were:

 

1. The stock OTR shaft that came with the FZ+ - Matrix VLCT-ST 65g S flex. Low launching and generally a crappy ball flight.

 

2 & 3. Mitsubishi Tensei Blue and Orange. I don't recall which but one was labeled stiff and the other was regular. Neither shaft worked to my liking.

 

4. Fujikura Pro 60 R-flex. Too flexible I suppose. Producing a fade or slice shot shape.

 

5. The TM/Fujikura Speeder 57 S-flex. Untested yet in the FZ+ head.

 

Of the above shafts (except #5) I tested them in the 11.5* loft setting which is the highest loft setting available.

 

After installing the TM/Fujikura last night set at 12* loft I immediately noticed the loft at address as it closely resembled my SLDR when placed side by side. I was planning to get out later today to test this this shaft and play around with the Flip-zone weighting to see if things might work out this time. I'm optimistic since the loft now appears to be much improved and the TM/Fujikura shaft I've been using in the SLDR has been perfect. We'll see. However, our forecast is for extremely high winds today so I'm probably going to wait for a better day. I'll post again here after I've been able to test this setup.

 

It's possible that I might sell or trade the FZ+ if things don't work out. I'm quite happy to keep playing the SLDR as it's been a miracle worker. So much so I recently bought a new one to keep as a backup.

Brought the Sldr out for my practice today and it's like it never left the bag. The good shots were very good and the bad were bad. But the feel of it was much more pleasant than the epic. I'll be taking both to my fitting this coming up Saturday. Hopefully we can dial the epic in because when i hit it well it is much longer than the sldr

The SLDR can't be beat...

 

Well boys I think I'm done with the Fly-Z+. At least for the time being and probably for this golf season.

Went out yesterday evening for a while and gave the FZ+ a good test. This time with the same shaft I have in my SLDR. I did have a much improved shot dispersion hitting most shots straight and at times with my normal draw. However, the ball flight was still too low for my liking. I tried the Flip-Zone weighting in both the front and back position. The front seemed to me to be the better position even though I thought the back position would help raise my ball flight. But it didn't. I also didn't like the sound of the head either. Too loud. Something I didn't notice before or had forgotten since I had not hit the driver in about a month I guess.

 

Perhaps the next time I visit my fitter I may take the FZ+ with me and see if there's a better shaft/fit we can come up with. Probably would be quite honestly. And by the way... I did have my SLDR with me to compare which was no comparison. The SLDR wins hands down!

 

So for now the SLDR says in the bag and the FZ+ goes over in the corner of my office as an art piece.

Plaid or other SLDR users any comment on the high launch? I cant believe how high I was launching that sucker yesterday. The wind was hard right to left and I was not getting too much curve which leads me to believe that I didn't have much spin on the ball.

That would be awesome. Of course we also know that results will vary. I always liked the SLDR concept for my swing. I have a positive AOL in the neighborhood of plus 3. Under normal circumstances my swing was consistent which made using a less forgiving club fine. I could actually approach the optimal with it -16/1600 or whatever that was.

 

I struggled a bit with my swing (see another thread) and moved to the far more forgiving Ping G30. At its best that one puts me at around 15/2500. I've always been longer with the SLDR but safer with the Ping.

 

I think that my swing is coming back because I'm starting to have time and after 5 weeks of hard work and 12.5 fewer pounds my conditioning is improving.

 

@Bobcat - it's a 12, turned up one with an older fujikara shaft, exactly what I was fit for. I just had forgotten how high the thing launched.

 

I can't wait to get this out on the course tomorrow to see how it runs out.

Rev... yesterday you asked about how high a launch I was getting. I can't give you numbers because I don't have any. But I characterize the height as mid or medium-high. I play my SLDR at approximately 12* even thought it will dial up to 14*.

 

Here's a way you can picture my ball height perhaps: stand like you are facing your shot and out-stretch your left arm raised to about a 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock position. That's assuming the clock face is to your right side and the face is left. That's about where my ball height/launch looks to be I'd guess.

I played with it Friday and hit it well. It will stay in for now.

 

I think I'd be better with the 14 turned down than the 12 turned up - my spin numbers were a tad high on the LM today

Wow..just wow!

Thanks to @hckymeyer for nominating this thread as one of the most memorable...Well I think I want to thank him...ha  But he sure nailed it.

The BobCat/Tony back and forth will forever be MGS legendary stuff.   Imagine some random internet dude telling one of the most respected Golf Equipment Writes in the business that he is clueless.  Glad I had finished my coffee by then.

Then to see it was resurrected by Studque two years later, and quietly went away....until today that is..😎

My actually biggest takeaway from the thread....going back 4 years I found it quite amazing how many drivers were brought up and raved about  SLDR, Cobra LTD F6,, XR16, Big Bertha, G30 and others.  And how rarely if every do I see any of those in bags now days.  Probably the only one of the bunch would be the G30.  

This is an equipment forum and it goes to show, we do love trying and buying new and shiny!"

Wow..just wow!

Thanks to @hckymeyer for nominating this thread as one of the most memorable...Well I think I want to thank him...ha  But he sure nailed it.

The BobCat/Tony back and forth will forever be MGS legendary stuff.   Imagine some random internet dude telling one of the most respected Golf Equipment Writes in the business that he is clueless.  Glad I had finished my coffee by then.

Then to see it was resurrected by Studque two years later, and quietly went away....until today that is..😎

My actually biggest takeaway from the thread....going back 4 years I found it quite amazing how many drivers were brought up and raved about  SLDR, Cobra LTD F6,, XR16, Big Bertha, G30 and others.  And how rarely if every do I see any of those in bags now days.  Probably the only one of the bunch would be the G30.  

This is an equipment forum and it goes to show, we do love trying and buying new and shiny!"

 

I completely forgot about this thread.  This is stuff of forum legend.

Do you guys want me to rehash the story of my old beloved SLDR? LOL

Didn't think so... he's retired now and living a comfortable existence in my office. 🏌️‍♂️

Yes.  But only if it would bring the cat daddy back into the discussion.

I have not. But after 5 years of awesome SLDR'ing success I did switch to the Exotics EXS last spring. It's a good one too but there is something slightly missing that the SLDR had for me.

Hmmm... SLDR-C ya say? Do tell.

For those who don't know what a SLDR-C looks like, here's a picture. 

 

Image result for sldr-c

 

I've heard, not sure where exactly, that with an after market shaft they are perhaps the greatest driver ever made.
