DaleUK Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 .... Yep that's right I have a Spare Yonex Driver Head and I'm going to fit a Aldila Shaft in it! The shaft is 46" long , so I was thinking maybe Cut 1/2" off the Butt???... Would this be considered "Normal" ?? Also going to try and thicken the grip up to see if this will Slow the hands down and stop me going strong Draw!!... Any advice will be appreciated !! Thanks Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamkenstein Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I add a couple of layers to the bottom of the grip to take the some of the taper out. This should go some way to prevent you turning the club over. I would discuss shaft length with your club fitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dale Put a few Drivers on a table side by side with the head hanging out. Look at the faces and see that some have their faces more up than others. Look at the Driver that is causing you to draw excessively. Choose a head that does not face up as much as the driver that causes you to draw too much. That's the equipment fix. Complications can come from a tendency to compensate automatically. You might not be aware of it but you will feel the difference and your body will have a tendency to fix things without your conscious command. The swing fix is to address the ball a little farther back in your stance. This can be as little as a half ball diameter or more than a ball diameter. You need to feel your way and remember. Complications come from a tendency to compensate automatically without conscious thought, so it's best worked out on a range with a field. Things will possibly go faster and better if you take the time to work the different feel a bit consciously at first and go up to speed gradually. The table thing is just an easier way to see how much offset is built into the head you are using. The manufacturers have gotten very clever about hiding the weight inside where you cannot see it, and sometimes you find it difficult to feel the difference. The offset is a clever way of fixing the more common fault of slice and the more extreme equipment fix is the draw driver. This is just a simple way of seeing the difference even for an eye that is not used to looking, or, more commonly, does not know what to look for.
