Your longest driver combo?


MG 1977

Recommended Posts

I'm after some ideas.... I've been trying all sorts of combo's recently but just cant find the one!

 

My ss is around 105mph with driver, I want mid launch and low spin...

 

Whats your best recent driver combo & whats your ss, launch etc.

 

 

 

EDIT;- Just to add for those who will say 'go get fitted' I fully intend to when the new Big Berthas are released. In the meantime I want to pick up something decent, all my recent combo's just seem to lack a bit of pop. Most recently a 8.5 Titleist 913d2 with Oban Devotion 04. Great accuracy but just lacks a bit of distance, probablly about 10-15 yards down on my normal distances at my home club.

Ping Anser ahina 70 x. Spin's around 2400 for me and my ss is about 120. The Cleveland Classic XL Custom was the next closest I found for low spin drivers that worked well for me. Just got better results with the Ping.

Ping i15 with Aldila RIP alpha 70x. It was long on most swings, but occasionally I would nuke one 30-40 yards longer than my typical "long" drive. Had a couple of drives that would put me places on the course I'd never seen before. Wish I could have bottled those swings, because I could never reproduce it consistently.

Longest driver in carry distance is the Adams 9064LS 9.5* with a Harrison Eclipse. I didn't get too much roll out, but it bombed it out there. With roll, its my current gamer, the Adams Super LS 7.5* with a Harrison Striper H2. Lower launch, great carry, great roll out. Easily the longest I've ever hit.

SLDR with AD DI, Kyioshi white, AttasT2. All three have produced great numbers and have worked equally well on the course.

RBZ tour 9* with a Proforce V2 ss around 120 and like DickieThon the Krank Rage Black 6* with a XXX flex shaft. It's insane how high the ball flight is even with only 6* of loft

If you want mid launch/low spin, the Oban Devotion 4 is the exact opposite of what you want in a shaft. An 8.5* 913D2 is okay to get you where you want to go, so try a lower spinning shaft like the D+ White, which comes stock in the 913D2.

I've had 2 driver set ups that have produced some of my longest drives. I haven't found a set up yet that I hit consistently. That's due to me not the gear, though.

Had a Taylormade r360xd with Fuji 63x played at 44. Hit some low stinging drives with that set up, but I gave it to my brother because it fits him better than me. I'm gaming a RFX with a Diamana D+62x played at 45. Only played two 9 hole rounds with it but hit some of my longer drives on balls I didn't quite get all of. It's all the weapon I will need and I don't have to make too many changes in my swing to make it work.

There's nothing in the rule book that says you can't play drunk.

I am rather new at using the latestest innovations in golf equipment and have been trying several shaft and head combinations in the past few months since getting the golf bug really bad in May.

I just put a Harrison Stripper H2 shaft on a Titleist 910D2 9.5 degree head. It is stiff and tipped one inch. Plays at 45 inches.
I took it out today and was rather stunned how it launches a ball out there.

I just turned 63 today and still can't believe I am hitting it as far as i am.

Easily the longest is/was a Taylormade R11s with a Motore Speeder 7.2 VC Tour Spec X-stiff.

Followed by a Callaway X-Hot Pro with Kiyoshi White 75X.

Swing speed 118 mph average (113-123 last time on track man, excluding the trying to feed the ego swings), launch usually around 13-16*

I switched to a Titleist 913 D3 with Matrix 7M3 X, and am hitting higher trajectory shots and seem to have lost about 5-10 yards (less roll out) but the mishits seem to stay online with my dispersion tightening from 21 yards (R11s) to 16 yards (w/ 913 D3) last trackman session. Just 20 balls hit with each. My dispersion will be worse if I sit there all day and try to rip drives.

Geek DCT 9* measured loft, RIP Alpaha 60. The face welds started to show and it was probably illegal because I usually cant pick up that much distance so quickly. I think I'm going to build another one like it in the Spring.
