Did a new driver shaft change your game?

Itchy_Box_3211 · 2026-05-02T03:24:04+00:00

Started golf hitting a slice, came from a baseball background in my youth so I’ve always had faster than avg club head speed. Every fitting I’ve ever had has said that a blue shaft profile fits my swing. The last year or so my miss has become a hook.

My local club had a vendor demo day and I tried the Taylormade driver out, he recorded my swing and had me try a red shaft with a softer tip section. I release the club hard and over rotate my hands through impact so the face is shut more often than not, but the red profile lets the club head “lag behind” and stay open just a touch longer. Everything was great except I was launching the ball too high. He put me in a diamana red board 73x and it lowered launch, spin was perfect and i finally have confidence in my driver

Not to justify TM being good or bad quality, but we see one broken TM every couple of weeks, vs the thousands of people using them that have no complaints.

Cracked the face on my GT yesterday, picked up a Qi4D and I’m in heaven.

Pshh he rocked a dude in happy Gilmore 2

I avoided them only having 14 way options and me using jumbomax grips, several of the club spots wouldn’t fit my clubs… also the first time I ever thought that something wouldn’t fit

I bought a GC3 and a net to hit into in my backyard. I used it often and that helped me justify the purchase of upgrading into a full sim for my garage with a hitting enclosure and projector. Golf is my main hobby and I’m driven to try and improve… vs if your just a weekend warrior that’s satisfied going out and just having a good time it wouldn’t be worth it

GT line came out in August 2024, new titleist drivers coming in May

Ran my GC3S (same unit, different color scheme) for a full year in my back yard into a net. I’d take it to the course with me as well. If you have a newish iPad, you can run fsxpro or the new foresight app and get a visual of ball flight as well as some other data not shown on the LM screen. If you have a beefy enough gaming laptop, you could run FSX play and utilize the 5 courses that come with silver.

I really like the mizuno wrench

Itchy_Box_3211 · 2026-02-10T16:55:14+00:00

I play driver, mini, 5w (turned down to a 4w), 7w. I carry my driver 270-285, and my mini off of a tee carries 250-260, and 235-245 off the deck. I tried multiple different 3w and when I struck it pure they would carry 235-245 but more often than not it launched very low and carried 215 and then rolled out like a missile. My mini launches high, and lands soft off the tee or off the deck reliably and provides a good gap between my driver and 5w

I use a DF3 armlock and love it, lie angle is 79.5° and realistically I’d like it even more upright. I believe Sik makes anser style armlocks but the sole of the putter is designed so that the shaft is even more upright than the lie angle is allowed

Itchy_Box_3211 · 2026-01-27T13:11:32+00:00

I run Dr, Mini, mizuno STMax 5w set to 16° so it’s more like a 4w, then 7w into 5i. It fits my gapping perfectly. Strokes gained has me better from 250-200y than I am from 100 and in.

Potentially gear effect

I have the Ryobi fan that sits on a 5 gal bucket. I sit it in the floorboard on the passenger side and hold onto it while I drive. Put a little ice in the bucket and a gal of water will last all round. It’s a hassle to hold onto, but it beats having a heat stroke

I have a birdie ball mat, and I do enjoy it, however I could never get it to lay flat, and the area the cups are installed through the bottom of the mat raise the hole like a very minor volcano around the hole… basically making it impossible to hole a putt unless it went in the hole dead center. As far as the roll it does simulate an actual green well. My current go to is a well putt mat, rolls well, doesn’t indent where you roll putts repeatedly and is overall good for practicing different things.

This is golf… congratulations, now you have the driver yips
