NC Golfer 129 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Am I the only golfer struggling to hit the C721 Tour Edge driver? It seems like every online review is positive. I am slicing it and finding the larger head difficult to control. I want to like it, it looks good. It's just not cooperating at the moment. Currently using the Red Ventus Regular shaft. Anyone experience this but eventually dialied it in? Edited July 24, 2021 by NC Golfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retgi 1 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I've been considering the C721 driver and play a few other Tour Edge clubs that are as good or better than major brands for me. I've watched a few good reviews on youtube. Anyway, sometimes certain clubs just won't work for us no matter how hard we try. I'll buy a different shaft just to make sure that's not the problem. I usually go the inexpensive route like Diamond Tour golf where I've bought several cheaper shafts just to see if that's the problem...God luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kocher Clamp 18 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Sometimes it’s the weight of the shaft. After having my neck fusion, I can only swing lite shafts now. The shaft you have now is made to get the ball in the air . High launching you might need a lower trajectory shaft to. 1 Quote Ping G 400 Max 10.5 willwood irons 4 to pitching wedge Edisonwedges 49 53 57 taylormade big toe 60 Toulon design Las Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good suggestions, I have a bad back and swing slow, which doesn't help and a sr golfer. I did try an air speeder r shaft first and that was flexing way too much.

Currently using the Red Ventus Regular shaft. Anyone experience this but eventually dialied it in? I have found that the C721 driver seems to work much better for a vast majority of the golfers that I have fit for this driver with either the PX HZRDUS Smoke RDX shafts (particularly the Smoke Blue RDX) than with the “made-for” Ventus Red 4T Core (NOT Velocore) shaft that is most commonly offered in this driver. I tried the C721 driver, first with the Ventus Red 6S and then with the HZRDUS Smoke RDX Blue 5.5 and 6.0 shafts. It worked better for me with the 6.0 version of this shaft, but when I installed a “real deal” Fujikura Ventus Blue 6S with Velocore in the C721 head, it really came to life! I also adjusted the loft from the stock 9.5* setting to the +1 setting and this combination has been absolutely golden for me …. more distance, and a much tighter dispersion, with about 66% to 70% fairways hit since making this change a few weeks ago. It may not be the clubhead that you are having issues with, but the shaft in it. For you, the HZRDUS Smoke shafts would probably be a disaster, but maybe a Ventus Red 5A shaft would do the trick.

Currently using the Red Ventus Regular shaft. Anyone experience this but eventually dialied it in? Have you tried the https://truegolffit.com/ ? It uses MGS data and fits you based on your specs and millions of data points for $9. It put me into a Hogan GS53 Max. I was surprised at the recommendation and I bought it.... and then I hit it. OMG. Anyway nice to have a tool that will crunch the data for you. Good luck 1 Quote 2-PW 1997 TM Burner Tour Blades TM Burner Wedges 55,60 My distances are still buttery and spot on.

Makes sense, hit up on it. Do you just swing or use a lower body move on the downswing, while staying back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFonzzz 16 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Yes swing up, Left knee moves but I try and keep weight back and swing around low for a draw? Quote Two steps forwards one step back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
