| currently playing a 44.25" 10.5* TM r5n with prolaunch blue stiff shaft
I've tried low-spin distance balls and they're great off the tee but the rest of my game gets ugly (10 year ago I was playing in high school with titleist tour balatas) - I like the higher spinning balls for my approach shots with mid and short irons and pitching/chipping
my driver is good at the range and good with lower spin balls - get the flight I'm looking for (looks high compared to most, but it's not crazy and I know to maximize distance I needed to get the launch angle up) - when I get out to the course and tee up a nice new ball, I find myself teeing it low to try to help keep it down or backing it up in my stance
I can't tell you how many times I've seen a pitch mark in the fairway 1-5 feet behind my ball - To get some roll I'm thinking I need to adjust my angle of decent down a bit and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that without sacrificing carry distance
I don't think my swing has changed much (had lessons as a kid so I don't think about it much, just kinda do it) although I suppose it's possible
I really just want to understand all (or at least most of) the variables so I can think about it and make a decision based on the way I play the game
If I need to buy a new driver, I will, but I don't want to just start hoing drivers like a madman  |
