Sluggo42 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I was always a mostly low ball hitter, that would run forever. My new driver swing is getting extraordinary height, I mean wayyyy up there. But, it’s still going as far, even farther sometimes, compared to my old bullets. i just don’t know what the better flight is. One thing the soaring shots do is stay straighter, and they don’t drive off a cliff either, they kinda stay where they land. They are definitely funner to watch. I get a lot of oohs and ahhhs from the boys, so that’s fun too… Where do you guys flight your driver? Is it by choice or just what happens with your swing? When I was hitting the bullet balls, I always wanted a higher flight, but now I’m getting it, but I couldn’t really tell you why… my only real change is a longer backswing that even goes past level. A fairly slow beginning, then hot when I get it close to the ball. i do this with the old mavrik with a cheap stiff shaft. I had it set at +2°, but the new swing has had me move it back to 9° and neutral. And it’s still highhhhhh fixyurdivot 1 Quote TSr2 on tensi blue stiff Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S Epic Max 5 and 7 woods on HZRDUS Reg flex Paradym 9 wood on HZRDUS reg flex P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 6-AW T22 Denim Copper 54°, 58° on Kinetic X Trajectory ER3 or, E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x, or, Maxfli Tour X .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 , or Sketcher shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM01 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 What you describe doesn’t give a lot of details to say what’s good or bad. Way up there doesn’t mean much, especially if someone has been hitting low bullets. Way up there could be too high from too much spin or it could be just what the golfer needs. Just stopping where they land could be a good thing or bad thing. Also could very based on course conditions. If the ball is ballooning as part of the way up there it’s not going to go anywhere when it lands. If it’s way up there but doesn’t have much spin it’s also not going to go anywhere because the descent angle is bad. What is good is that you get balls that go further on carry than your old driver. A ball that stays on the air longer is going to have a chance to go farther. If carry distance is better than total distance with the new driver than that’s the better ball flight. But in reality without seeing launch monitor numbers for both drivers on the same day can’t say which is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak height is relative to ball speed, launch, etc. It’s been a minute since I looked at lpga averages for trackman but their avg ball sped iirc with in the 140s and peak height was about 75’ Their launch was around 13 and spin in the mid 2000s One has to look at all the numbers and see what’s happening. 80 could be good or to could be low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love the big head drivers So sounds like the new swing is producing better contact which is producing better launch characteristics. Low line drive type of shots are going to run out more because they are coming with a low land angle and going to be hot compared to a ball that’s coming in higher with a better lane angle. Too many amateurs hit the ball too low in the air and still think they hit it high. My peak height with irons and driver is over 100’. With irons some of it comes from too much loft at impact.

GPS111 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Don't lose sight of flex point of the shaft on ball height either. We have to remember this is how ball flight was influenced before larger heads and settings we could change. High, mid, or low kickpoint will have an influence on ball flight, especially with all of the tuning that can be done. I have two driver shafts I use. Both are same flex and length but one gives a high 90-105 ballooning flight and the other a mid-high 50-60' more boring flight with the same swing, set-up, and club head settings.

Places like pgasuperstore, 2ndswing have them and 2ndswing I believe is back to renting out bays again. Watch a pga tour event and look at the peak height when they show it in the screen. You will find many pros on driver are over 90’ and some over 100’ Their irons are going to vary based on the shot they hit but watch that as well.

That is their job. How those two things feel to the golfer will have an impact on how they swing. Shafts themselves don’t affect launch or spin.

Sluggo42 Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 I hit a 6 iron today that went about 160ish, with my p790. It had to be at least 100’ up. I mean it was crazy high. Ended up about 4” from its landing spot on the green- actually made that birdie putt. It seems they all go high, but go different distances- any idea if all clubs are similar in height?

The 19th Hole Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I swing at about 107-110 with a ball speed of about 155-163 depending on contact. My attack angle is roughly +6. My driver height commonly is 120' or more. So 80' would be my "low" shot. It's all relative to how you swing and where the ball stops. Don't worry too much about how it got there. If it keeps you in play and your not loosing distance to the point that you cant' reach the green then run with it. As to the same heigh question, I think that is more related to the irons and I can say that all my irons 3-PW go pretty much the same heigh. I don't think woods are in that same boat as the clubs are so much different design (head shape, material, shaft material, shaft length, Teed up!, Ect.)

Ben_Howell34 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 To me there are two things that matter in driving: distance and consistency to stay out of trouble. If you are hitting it farther and the same or slightly better accuracy, I’d say stick with the new swing. But I’m not Hank Haney or anything… Quote Radspeed Driver 10.5* Radspeed 3W 14.5* Stealth 4H 22* JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4i-PW RTX Zipcore Wedge 52* Mid Bounce RTX Zipcore Wedge 56* Mid Bounce Kirkland Signature KS1 Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullSizeRender.MOV I can see what longer drivers don’t work for your swing. But to be a 4.5 you’ve learned to make the swing work for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
