MHernandez1914 6 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I just want to show some love for the D-Type drivers. I recently purchased an M6 D-Type after testing various drivers and it has quickly become my favorite club in the bag. I came from an M2 driver which was a really good driver, however, my miss is on the heal with an open face to path which led me to having a lot of push fades every round as well as cutting 30-50 yards off my driving distance. I tested several drivers and settle on the M6 because the heavy weight in the heel really made a difference to reigning in my push-fade. Now if i make that miss hit the shot is simply a push due to club face being neutral to closed at impact. No loss major loss of distance other than the ball being off line. This club has completely changed my game off the tee, now longer am i scared to make a swing, hit and hope. Now i am more confident on the tee box, and can swing free knowing that a mishit wont murder the hole for me. I do want to take the time and put a DISCLAIMER, this d-type driver is not a cure all. I bad swing will still lead to a bad shot/slice. There is no cure all in golf but there are clubs and technology that can help us out. I never hear many club reviewers talk about draw type or anti-slice drivers. Nor do I hear many players talk about them either. Maybe because there is a stigma against the drivers . But for those who have the heel side mishit, I would encourage y’all to try a d-type or anti-slice driver. Notes: I tried an M5 with one weight in the back and another in the heel like my M6 should have, however, the M5 did not have the same shot shape correction that the M6 did. Also, I tried the Ping G410 SFT but did not like the feel of it. Head looked big and felt heavy. The ping did completely eliminate the right side of the fairway for me however i was now hitting massive hooks. Not to say that the Ping wouldn’t work for someone else, it just didn’t work for me. Anyway I just wanted to bring up the topic, be selfish and talk about my favorite club. Thank you to those who read this, y’all are the best, don’t ever change!

BumblingBirdie 0 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Can the M6 D type be set to a neutral setting with no draw bias if you wanted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The head is internally weighted to be draw bias so even if you could set the head more neutral at address it would still be prone to closing faster through impact as well as the enhanced draw gear effect from having the center of gravity closer to the heel Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 49F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites
vdaloia 0 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I really want one of these, I tried one today with a super light even flow red on there. I haven't swung a club in a while and the driver did all the work for me, very easy to hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoganman1 123 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I just got a new M6 too, but mine is the standard model. My miss is a pull hook so I decided not to go with the D-Type. It seems longer than the Rogue I was playing. However, I've only played two rounds both on wet fairways. I'm looking forward to getting comfortable with the new club. I hope my results as as good as yours. Quote Drive for Show; Putt for Dough Link to post Share on other sites

If lowering the loft opens the face like it does with most drivers, you might be able to counteract the draw bias weighting to some extent. But why?

Hoganman1 123 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I replaced the 45.75" Atmos shaft with an old 45" NVS and it's really working well. I was in Florida playing last week and the M6 is a little longer and much straighter than my Rogue. Quote Drive for Show; Putt for Dough Link to post Share on other sites
