Bat Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I've been on a hunt for a perfect fairway wood for a while. I think I've finally found it in the ViQ 08 FW. It's VERY forgiving, has a nice profile at address, and feels great at impact. The problem is I'm launching it much too high with the stock shaft. My friend has the 06 version reshafted with the green QuattroTech and the trajectory is much closer to what I'm looking for. Long story short, I was wondering how the ViQ 08 compares to the ViQ 06 in terms of launch angle and spin rate. I found comparison graphs for the two models but don't quite understand them. In fact, I'm not even sure if they have anything to do with trajectory at all. Anyway, I'd really appreciate if anyone can help me read these graphs or just tell me how the two versions compare. Thanks. Bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Bat This is what it says on the graph.. I don't know how it relates to ball flight.. The left pic tells you the CG of the club, the Y Axis is deeper in the club on the top and closer to the face on the bottom.. The right pic is CG height relative to the club face, the Y Asix is higher on the face and lower on the face.. I personally have VIQ 06 with the OEM Stiff.. easy to hit and real high trajectory that lands soft.. I swing 90-95mph with a fairly fast tempo and the OEM stiffs are just fine.. I have also bot a pair of X-Drive 06 Fwys with GD Tour AD W60Stiff.. Not built yet though but my buddy's got the same head and those are way way lower launching..

Bat Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thank you so much for your help. That's just what I needed to know. Sounds like the ViQ08 will launch higher due to the CG location. Not exactly ideal for me distance wise but I just can get over how EASY it is to hit these solidly off the deck. I'm going to try a couple more heads, but may very likely come back to these and match it with a higher kick shaft. Thanks. Bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
