I have recently passed a suitable driver and I cannot emphasize enough the importance of knowing a few things ahead of time to use as much experience as possible. Equipment can be a little overwhelming, trying to dive into all numbers and options immediately. And while some devices are free, most are not, so pays to get the most out of your time. These five keys will help you make sure your driver’s fit is worth it.
1. Test a variety of shafts
The same driver head can feel completely different depending on the axis. That is why you should never limit yourself to one. Once you find a shaft profile that feels good, try it on multiple heads.
That way, you will know if you are actually comparing drivers or just shafts. Keep an open mind because some of the biggest changes in performance come from the shafts that you may not have chosen yourself. Do not get into an appropriate thought that you are “just flexible solid” or “low -roll head”. Numbers can surprise you.
2. Go beyond the “standard” length
The driver’s length is not of an appropriate size. I’ve always played a driver who is technically too tall for me but it works. When you try the shorter drivers, I lose the distance. When I try the longer drivers, I fight with control. Point: Do not assume a standard length or a height -based measurement is automatically straight. Test different lengths and see how they actually affect your game.
3. Pay attention to the location of the strike (and the angle of the lie)
It is seductive to follow the longest goal on the screen but where You hit the ball on your face is what is the most important. I found that the angle of the lie had more impact on the strike model than waiting – some drivers kept me in the center while others had given up my toe or heel.
Pay attention to this detail during your mounting. It will not always appear at maximum distance, but makes a change in the consistency in the course.
4. Compare the rotation rates
Rotation rates are one of the most useful data points in a suitable driver. A lot of rotation and you lose distance. Very little roll and you can’t keep the ball in the air.
Here is a quick Trackman reference to the spin driver. You will want your rotation rates to be close to these ranks.
| Swinging speed | Ideal Rolling Gamma (RPM) |
|---|---|
| 105+ MPH | 2,000-2,500 |
| 95-105 mph | 2,200–2,700 |
| 85–95 mph | 2,400–2,900 |
| <85 mph | 2,600–3,200 |
In my case, I knew my current driver was revolving a lot and that was one of the main reasons I updated. Comparing these numbers with new options showed me exactly which combination of the head/shaft solved the problem.
5. Focus on a club at the same time
It is seductive to assign a full device for a bag and try to solve everything right away, but the driver’s equipment is complex. I went to the planning to try a driver and a mini driver, but we’ve never reached the mini. We spent the whole session calling on the driver’s axes and heads and it was good time. If you really want results, focus on a club at a time. You will leave with more clarity and better results.
Final thoughts
Driver’s equipment may feel as information overload, but if you enter a plan, you will get out of the session. Test a variety of shafts, location of dirty stroke, compare rotation rates and focus on a club at a time. Do not go to the adaptation to walk with the longest driver. I will miss the whole point.
