wmclarenf1 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 That usually means that you are not getting enough launch and therefore not enough carry with the driver. You probanly need a higher lofted club. That is my first guess with having seen you swing the club. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus It's already a 10.5 and while Thomas are now known to launch lower and spin lower, in this particular case as it is a 10.5, I suspect the shaft is more the culprit in this instance for Jules.

wmclarenf1 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) thanks. I also have a GD Tour AD M65S that was suggested. any thoughts on that? I used to be a tour ad freak. The gd stiff will play Quite a bit stiffer than your ly02 r flex as a reference point. Sounds logical I know but flexes are not really equal across the board. It will launch higher though I suspect.

julescurwen Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks guys. To an extent the shaft selection is a bit of trial and error, though prefer lighter and higher launch. Will give the m65 a go but any other thoughts. Swing Speed would be late 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julescurwen Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Fex 55 SR I am hearing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacco Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Fex 55 SR I am hearing! I have a FEX fw 55 SR in my 5W and it feels pretty darn good. Have only hit it a couple of times on the range, but the flex seems to be good for me. My driver SS is 98-100 mph. So, I guessimg if you are in the higher 80s you might need R flex.

julescurwen Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 thanks. I had heard that the FEx play a bit softer so I was hoping SR might be about right. equally I had played R in Crazy (play stiff apparently) and could deal with; but lacking real feel and zip...maybe not loading it?? which is the worst evil going too soft or too stiff. what is the kick profle of the FEx?

julescurwen Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 perhaps the play would be to buy new (i.e. uncut) in R as that way I'll have somewhere to go if plays too soft...thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
