Ultimate Junior Golfer Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I played a round with my new golf instructor yesterday, and I could not drive the ball straight at all. I did not feel that I was swinging bad, and my instructor said I was swinging well. He concluded it was a club problem. I had a lesson this morning where he fit me for a new driver. Below are the specs of my old driver and my new one: OLD: Titleist TS3 10.5* Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 55g stiff flex 45" NEW: Callaway Maverick Sub Zero 10* Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 70g XX-stiff 44" All of the sudden, my misses are in the fairway, I'm hitting my driver 20 yards farther, and on a much more favorable trajectory. It blew my mind how much just changing a club has changed my confidence on the tee.

There's a good chance a nice 75-85g shaft in those will give you far better results. BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
