Mjr. D Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Can anyone help me out on this one? What is the point of going with a less than 460CC head? How does it affect the shaft? Lastly, who does an open face driver/3 wood compliment/suit? A harder swinger? I'm in the process of trying to buy a couple drivers and a 3 wood but it's pretty difficult to figure all this stuff out on your own. So i appreciate any help guys. Thanks a lot!

acrazygolfer Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 460cc head pushes the center of gravity (CG) away from the axis of the shaft. Hard & fast swingers exert great centrifugal force against the head causing it bend the shaft down resulting in the head to "toe down" due to the location of the CG and the axis of the shaft. In addition, torque deformation occurred which caused the head to shut down or closed. Taking these two factors into consideration, among other swing characteristics, hard & fast swingers are better fitted with open face driver when using 460cc head.

Thanks a lot for that. I was wondering. What if i have a natural fade though? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 When I'm swinging well I hit straight or slight draw. Most of the time I'm a little left of my intended target. Its my natural flight. Bad shots are pulls and pull-hooks. Not pretty when it happens. Having an open face angle on my driver has helped me with that. Not just in the results but the the way it sets up to the ball. It doesn't give me that look like I feel I'm going hit it out there and have it come back to me like a boomerang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
