golfrules Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi all, I have a fade biased driver (PRGR T3 501) that has a square face (i.e. not open or closed). Is it fade biased because of the weight distribution of the club head, or the shaft, or a combination of the two? I like the current shaft (stock INSPEC shaft, M-40) that I'm using, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to make it less fade biased by changing the shaft? The basis of asking this is that some shafts can produce more kick and less spin? This might help when I'm not driving as well. Thanks!

Goodsie Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 A Fade Biased Driver has the Fade built into the face insert. The usual "Bulge and Roll" is altered to flow off downwards and out to the toe of the head. With a Fade Biased head, when the head is delivered square to the ball, a very slight side spin or slip is put on the ball. The ball will take off right down the line but the slight spin will make the ball fall off to the right after reaching the apex. Its a $$$$ shot to have a drop fade in the bag. More big numbers/scores occur on the left side of a golf course than the right side. Hard/fast swingers are always looking for a 1* Open face or a Fade Bias to take as much of the left side out of play as possible and still control the ball without changing their swing. Just aim down the left center of the fairway and let it fly with your PRGR 501 Driver and you might find yourself standing dead center on the sprinkler heads a lot. Down the middle.

Thanks for the explanation :) I guess changing the shaft won't do me any good then ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
