Hi,
I just played a bit with a TrackMan today, and the result was a bit "eye opening".
First I tried the Shaft Optimizer with my 6 iron and it suggested Dynamic Gold X100 which I'm playing already, so that was okay.
But then I went to the driver.
I have always been playing a Diamana Blue 73x (the real deal, non-stock) and I started out with that. The result was:
>>> Note: I have always been hitting a bit down on the ball with my driver <<<
Titleist 913D3 9.5° with Diamana Blue 73x-stishaft and Pro V1x
Average results over 10 shots
A-1 and B-2 but there were not really a difference with my carry and and Smash Fact.
- Club Speed: 115 +/- mph
- Ball Speed: 166 mph
- Smash Factor: 1.45
- Attack Ang: -1.2
- Spin: 3000
- Carry: 279 yards
- Total: 295 yards
Then I tried the new driver from another manufacturer with a MRC KURO KATE SILVER 60 S-Flex
Average result over 10 shots
Setting Neutral 9.5°
- Club Speed: 115 +/- mph
- Ball Speed: 172 mph
- Smash Factor: 1.50
- Attack Ang: -1.2
- Spin: 2459
- Carry: 290 yards
- Total: 306 yards
Same club speed but more ball speed?
I know I was not testing all settings, so the results can't be 100%, since there might be a better setting for me with the Titleist 913D3, but I got
- lower spin
- higher ball speed and
- 10 yards more
with the other driver with same swing and ONLY a S-Flex shaft, and my swing speed was almost the same?
I had big eyes, and it hurt my Titleist heart.
Was the club-head (technology) better for me with the other driver, or is the Diamana Blue 73 X-Stiff too stiff or heavy for me? It shouldn't be with my 115 club speed, or what do you guys think?
I don't know if I can get a stock-shaft to my 913D3 that can perform better for me?
Any ideas?
I don't have the full TrackMan data, but I can try and get it if it was saved.
