Leek Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 My driver is very inconsistent. I'd guess it's not properly fit. I play to between a 6 and 9 hdcp (higher earlier in the season), but my game is really dependent on my driver. If I'm hitting fairways, I can score pretty well (low to mid 70s) and sometimes even flirt with the high 60s. When it's bad, it's very bad and my scores balloon. I was fit for my current driver (Cleveland Launcher Comp NVS 65 S) on a monitor at a demo day. I would like to purchase a premium driver, and get a shaft that maximizes what I have. If I go to a Launch monitor and put my specs on one of the shaft threads, would the results help me find a driver that works for me? I am pretty interested in a TourStage X Drive, I think.

gocchin Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 There are definitely many options out there. The more info you can provide the easier it will be to find a driver that suits your swing and game for sure. (^_^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Golfer Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 The best way to buy a driver is to forget the launch monitor and lofts/flexes of the clubs and simply hit various clubs at a range until you find the feel and ball flight you like. Titleist does this with their fitting van everything is just numbered to their code, so you do not know what you are hitting. You may find, that you need softer, firmer, longer, shorter, higher loft, lower loft, stiff tip, soft tip, etc. ,etc. than you think you should have based upon the swingspeeds, launch monitor readings and ego you relied upon in the past. Once you know the spec of a club that really works for your swing, than you can buy,(If they wouldn't sell you the demo, that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely nothing beats hitting the driver live but if he's interested in buy a driver he can't hit or demo like the X-Drive, then swing characteristics and info can help a lot for sure.

master Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I read from Waggle magazine in Japan that there's a company called "Solid Contacts" that does all sorts of things for the fittings of clubs from Driver to putter. Their equipment is uber expensive with their fitted driver costing Yen 120,000 & the current hottest amatuer men player in Japan Ryo is using it. T, do u know anything about this company. I'm tempted to go to Tokyo & try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
