R1 Tuning - Android Apps on Google Play

 

[warbirdlover]

Picked up the R1 from WBL. It has my favorite shafts in it, but feels short. So I am going to add about 1-1.5". I also don't know where to set it as far as open or closed I have it set at 2 degrees closed.

The open or closed setting only sets the face when you set the club down on a flat surface. Otherwise does nothing. The weights (draw or normal settings) have the most effect for shot shape. The loft is the one next to tinker with. Don't bother with the U (upright) loft settings. They didn't do a thing for me (or limpalong). I think adding length will make that shaft work better too.

Yeah I don't understand why there would be an upright setting on a driver. As far as turning the little thing on the bottom to open or close it. It would only make sense on a flat surface. On the grass you just can't tell. And I always setup to the ball with the face square

Maybe guys with shorter drivers than 45.5-46"?

Huh? You mean for the upright setting? But your driver does not touch the ground on impact, so upright or flat has no relevance.

I may be wrong but I think it makes a difference. If the face was a flat 0* I don't think it would, but the driver has loft. If that angle is tilted then the spin axis of the ball will be tilted...causing curvature in ball flight.

I don't know if I shared, but I picked up a couple bags. Cleveland staff and Srixion staff. both brand new $50 each.

Pics?

I saw no change using the regular and U settings. None at all on any loft setting. Limp found the same thing I think.

Picked up a couple of Maltby wedge heads. 53/6° and 58/8° for $22 shipped. Built them up just like my PW (48°). FST 115 X shaft (these shafts play soft to flex so they play more like S) and Lamkin Crossline midsize grips with 2 wraps of build up tape under the right hand. I've had 2 practice sessions and 1 round with them and so far I like them a lot. I thought I'd give low bounce wedges a shot as we get a lot of tight lies around here.
