Driver Ho's - a little help.

[wirehair]

I play a Hogan 9.5 draw with a R-flex 75 gram V2. I'm able to hit it straight, but the ball balloons & is short. I've got a 10.5 Launcher 460 Ti with a r-flex 65 gram graf Prolaunch blue, again a little high but also with too much fade. SS mid to upper 80's. I need the low torque and the draw setup. What do you guys think of this one?

Go Geek if you want to lower you ball flight off the driver. Geek DCT is the lowest launching driver head I have ever hit. It solved my high driver ball flight/zero rollout problem immediately.

In my experience, TaylorMade's usually go pretty high.

I have the same set-up, only with a tipped stiff flex. I would not consider this a "low spin" set-up, as the Superquad launches high to degree, and a reg flex blueboard won't help. Its an easy to hit combo, though.

Of course, the nice part is you can set some weight forward and for a draw. At the current price, you really couldn't go wrong.

What do I think? I think it's a fake and wouldn't touch it with a 10ft. pole.

If it were real? Maybe but I'd recommend a Burner first though. Hit the Burner, a ton of aging players are finding lost distance by double digit yardage with it. Go get a demo and keep it for the weekend.

Tim: Does a Geek have heel weighting to help my slice, that's important & why The Launcher never made it for me.

Ez: Thanks for the heads up, I can spot a fake Scotty, but drivers are a mystery. I'd already passed on it though.

Not that I am aware of, but I bet Lyle could fix you up with one and customize the weight profile to your needs. Have you tried a closed face driver? That might help with both your slice and ball height.

Just pulled the trigger on a 10.5 R7 425 w/ R flex graf blue. Between the 10.5 loft, the mid/high kick shaft & the weights I ought to be able to make it work out.

If not, my Hogan will keep me in the fairway, short but I can usually hit it again.

Let us know how you like it wire,

Can't answer.

1) have the loft checked
2) have your swing speed checked on a monitor
