vandyland Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 When I first got my Cobra SZ at the beginning of last year I was adjusting it constantly and I would rarely play two rounds with the same settings. Once I had a few range sessions and, really a few bad driving rounds, I settled on what felt like the "safest" setting: Lofted up +1.5 to 10.5* (higher launch feels safer/forgiving/etc) Heavy weight in back with dummy weight in front (again, higher launch) Face set to standard (I fought a hook for a while so I am okay with a slight right leak on ball flight which I have currently) Not sure if it is because I am driving it better or laziness or something else but outside of the first 3 months I had the driver, I haven't adjusted it at all and I wonder if other people have the same experience. Even on a windy day I don't usually think or want to loft it down or put the weight in the front because I am so accustomed to my current setting. Again, in the first 3 months I hit it on a Trackman with several settings and I could see how having the weight forward gave me the most absolute distance but I felt like I could lose it either way pretty easily so I just stick with the "safe" settings.

Totally agree that the blame resides with the swing on bad shots but when I am hitting it well there is always that little voice wondering "could you squeeze out a little more with the weight forward without losing accuracy?" I guess I see conflicting information on how spin impacts accuracy and maybe some of this is a combination of trackman and actual playing to determine where advantages are found. As it gets drier here in Tennessee I was thinking about lofting down and I realized I hadn't touched my settings in months (a year maybe?) and wondered where other people on this forum shook out. Seems like you are at least one vote in the "set it and forget it" camp. tony@CIC 1 Quote STZ 230 9.5*/STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25*/ Pro Fli-Hi 21* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* / Carnoustie 60* L.A.B.

null Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I have had the Ping G410 in the bag for two years now. I used to have the weight in the toe and it lofted down one click to mitigate my hook, but made some swing changes to neutralize my swing path in in late 2019 and now play it at standard loft (9) and the weight in the middle. tony@CIC, vandyland and Micah T 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My swing is getting flatter so instead of playing it at 9* I am lofting up to 10.5* But then I forget what I've been training for, get too steep and send a banana into the moon. Since you can't adjust the setting every hole, I would leave it be for a while until I can get a repeatable and desirable swing, then go tuning. tony@CIC 1 Quote SpeedZone 9* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 60 S X2 Hot 3 Deep 14.5* w/ Aldila Tour Green 75 S JetSpeed 5W 19* w/ Matrix Velox T 69 S OR Super LS 3H 19* w/ Kuro Kage Black 80 S JPX919 Forged 4-PW w/ Modus3 105 S Vokey SM7 50/08F, 54/14F & 58/08M w/ Modus3 115 Wedge ER1 34" w/ SuperStroke Fatso 2.0 Pro / H2NO Lite Cart Bag / 3.0 / NX7 Pro LRF My reviews: MLA Putter // Titleist SM7 // PING i500 // PuttOUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkev Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I keep it where I was got to - I may fool around with it a bit on the range but on the course? Where I was fit - my swing is very stable - I may go up and down a few MPH but I’ve had a plus two to three AoA, a tad inside out at every fitting I’ve ever had (15 plus years). What fascinates me is the differences in my fits despite that and especially which have been successful and which not. The one exception to the not changing rule was when I tested the Motore last year. I needed to move the loft down a notch - hit it very well that way. My fitter last week turned the driver 1 open (lofted down.) Tells me I prefer an open club face at address. If I were the OP, I’d ask my teacher for advice or else leave it alone from the fitting. tony@CIC 1 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Rarely. I pretty much find the setting that is optimal for me and then I just leave it. With this new driver I spent some time with it in various settings as I’ve started to get outside and play. Because the fitting was indoors, the numbers can’t be completely trusted from the settings we used . I found the -1 setting for this 9* head to be pretty ideal for me. Nice launch window, good carry, great landing angle, and some roll. Once we get late in the summer and our fairways dry out, adding significant roll, I may knock it down to its lowest setting, tee the ball a little higher, and let the ball run for days!!!! tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook DeLoft Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I’ve started using a winter setting and a summer setting. In the winter, our course becomes VERY soft and in the summer it becomes very hard. I use higher loft in the winter for more carry because I’m not going to get much run out anyway. In the summer, I turn the loft down for less carry and hotter roll on the hard fairways. The downside is I have to adjust for different misses: left in the winter and right in the summer. vandyland, tony@CIC, revkev and 1 other 4 Quote 14 of the following: Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees Callaway Epic Max 11 wood Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53 Maltby M Series+ 54 degree Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree Evnroll ER2 Ping Sigma 2 Anser Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag TaylorMade Mini Spider Bridgestone XS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is where I got my eyes opened to something very obvious to people who have been fit multiple times. I had my first driver fitting into my current driver and there are several things at play here: (1) My swing has changed quite a bit from the fitting through now (strike location on the face, spin, AoA, club path) and, most importantly (2) I was very loose when I hit my driver that day. Like an idiot, I just got into a groove and started swinging faster and faster (not out of my shoes but when you hit like 30 drives and you have a trackman display right there you start to chase it...). On the course, my driver swing is about 104 mph but in the fitting I was up around 110 mph which is not how I would swing if I had OB left and water right. So I got fit into an X-stiff Smoke shaft which in february on the course with no warmup I was probably swinging 90 mph on the first tee so that was a disaster. I now play a budget stiff shaft that I feel like I can actually bend a little bit which has been helpful. I like the idea of playing around with it with my coach there and on trackman. I seem to want to play with it more when I am hitting it good for whatever reason, when I'm hitting it bad I assume my swing stinks at the moment and no amount of adjusting will help. But when I am firing on all cylinders I start to wonder if I can squeeze more out of it, if that makes sense (weight forward, lofted down to like 9*). tony@CIC and revkev 2 Quote STZ 230 9.5*/STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25*/ Pro Fli-Hi 21* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* / Carnoustie 60* L.A.B.

This truly depends on you - with your handicap your swing probably doesn't vary much so if you were fit for your current gamer in the past 3 years or so you're good. The benefit to something adjustable is that its far easier for the guy fitting you to customize you club if you are a seasoned player or if your are a beginner its easier for that club to grow with you.

Perkmd Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Having the adjustability is nice, but like most, I set and forget. You don't change what is working well. I do love the ease of swiping out shafts that comes with drivers that have an adjustable tip. I just contact my locate club maker request a shaft with the correct tip for my driver and swap it. I have done this in the past since I like 1" over standard shaft in my drivers.

M. Parsons Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I know this probably has more to do with shaft selection, but I tend to hit my driver very high...more times than not anyway. So, I set my driver to the lowest setting shortly after I got it, and haven't touched it since.

At the range and at the simulator I have tried the different settings, the original one is what I always end up at by the end of the session so that stays in the bag for actual rounds.

juspoole Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Very rarely - I'll find a setting they tweak to in a fitting and usually leave that until I have a few rounds where I'm off. It will take a lot for me to actually adjust. Even though my normal drive is a fade and a draw setting could straighten me out a bit, I don't like seeing a closed face at address. Right now I'm in neutral with a little added loft.

Middler Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Almost never, I tend to buy drivers with as few adjustments as possible. I dropped the loft on mine from 10.5* to 9.5* but it didn’t make much difference in length and my trajectory looked fine at 10.5* so I put it back after a few weeks. I also set it to draw bias for while, but it didn’t make any difference that I could tell, so I put it back. I’m skeptical the hosel adjustment adapter does much anyway. I’ve never changed the weight.
