Technical question about building a driver

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Still very new to club fitting thus like to seek guidance from experts here on how to better my Golf game thru club fitting.

What is the optimal weight for the following:

1. Head weight ( I m using a Epon AF-151 - 195g)

2. Overall weight (previously playing to abt 305g)

3. Swing weight ( used to playing btw D0-1 swing weight)

Do share with me.

each person differs. If you have never been professionally fit, I suggest you do that first , and if the resulting club performs well for you, stick to those specs. Hard to determine your optimum specs without first knowing what works for you.

I hasn't gone for any professional fitting I.e using launch monitor etc, it's more of a static fitting.

Current setup

Head weight (Epon AF-151) - 195g

Shaft (Diamana R50 regular) - 58g + 5g tip weight

Grip - 50g

Swing weight - D1

Overall weight - ard 310g

Played well with it, just that I feel I can play abit more stiffer n slightly heavier shaft ard 60+g to experiment.

60S with softer tip higher torque..get that SW up also. Grow in to it. Something like a Ali isle 60S would be perfect ;)

Or even a Labospec Hashiri 60S around 3.8 Torque

Go slightly heavier in the irons and soon the driver will feel like a noodle.

Thanks,

Just fitted a Crazy Boron stiff (69g) onto my Epon AF151 (195g) with a swing weight of C9.5 playing to 45" last night.

Will give it a go and see how it works playing with a heavier and stiffer shaft as compared to my previous shaft.

Will let u all know how it goes on after I test it on the course on Monday.

Had gamed the driver on 2 separate occasion with 2 different feel.

Monday (1st game)

Spec - as above

Feel - I couldn't really feel the head of the driver during my down swing, alway felt that the head is not lagging enough to give me the "whip" when I hit the ball. Due to the feel, I tend to overreact and thus pull hook the tee shots several times but it still gave me a far better distance than the previous combo.

Wednesday (2nd game)

Spec - as above but added a 5g lead weight below the ferror

Feel - I can better feel the shaft flex and head slightly lagging behind during my down swing. It gave me a distance and power I never had.

Thanks everyone for the great advice.
