VIDEO REQUEST: if possible would love to see a revisit of an old TXG classic, "Driver loft vs CG location."

[@TooEasyGaming]

Matty an inspiration as always! As someone who has recently had mental health struggles right down to the unconscious jaw clenching / associated neck stiffness and pain, I find a lot to learn from and look forward to! Now, just need 30mph ball speed..

[@Ecka63]

I had this exact same problem with my TSi3 9deg driver, spinning around 3500 on average. Great for finding fairways, lousy into the wind. Got fitted for a TSi4 9deg, increased my angle of attack from 1up to 3up, teed the ball up higher and started consistently hitting above the centre of the face. Average spin dropped to 2300, still finding the fairway and hitting it further. Head winds are no longer an issue.

[@ryantlevins]

Distance gains? Also, how is TSi4 compared to TSi3? I’m experiencing same issues and thinking going to TSi4 or even SIM2. Thanks!

[@kyleaubu]

The timing of this video is pretty ironic... just last Sunday I got tired of my driver ballooning up and decided to take 1.5 degrees off of it just to see what happened... much to my surprise, I instantly gained easily 15 to 20 yards. I figured I might gain a few yards but was happily surprised at just how much of a difference it made.

[@Biggbosshog]

Very nice lads. I had a very similar experience when I was fitted this year to the Sim 2. I was averaging 308 carry and angle of attack between 1 and 2 up. I was fitted into the 9* head, standard setting, with a Mitsubishi TB 70x. I was averaging around 2,500 spin. I turned it to the upright setting and then down to 8.25* with a prov 1 left dash. Super stable flight and absolutely bomb it.

[@youngunz42]

This was me. Got a good fitter who understood the causes and suggested dropping to a lower loft but kept me in head kept my ball straight. Also said to play left dash. Longer tee shots on both good and bad strikes and gave me some tips on my delivery based on numbers. Driving is back to being a strength in my game and I’m having more fun

Great video guys. At the start of the summer I was fitted for a new driver. Was using a Cleveland Launcher with a Stiff shaft from 10-15 years ago and was spinning around 4500 and hitting it 260. Was fitted into a TSi3 in XS and am now hitting it 300 and straighter.

[@shiversbasketball]

TXG never seems to disappoint! Great video guys!

[@dw4421]

Ok, as a high spin player, some takeaways: -lower spin club head (SIM2 for Matty here) -shaft flex combo that suits your timing -lower loft = lower ball flight but you have to have the swing speed and delivery to pop the ball quicker and farther So from my current setup: Callaway Edge regular flex 10.5 degrees with high 90s low 100s swing speed, I need to try out a 9 degree driver. Shaft is the one variable to play around more extensively. Thank you TXG!

[@dabdias]

I don’t think Matty was using the Max, that’s a high MOI higher spin head. I think he was using the SIM2 (no Max or Max D).

[@dw4421]

@@dabdias yep you are right! Corrected. Thanks!

[@davidsuire5155]

This is so me, but with 100mph swing speed. I had switched to a SIM2 in February turned down to 7 deg with an extra stiff shaft and use a Left Dash PV1X! It has helped with my spin and launch greatly.

[@craigokeeffe2270]

Looks good 👍🏻 You can definitely notice a difference in your follow through after impact, if your wondering. It is different compared to you old swings from a few videos back. Looks like you said, rotating through better and staying more on top of it compared to your old follow through of staying back and hitting way up on the ball.

[@andrewkmac3507]

This video was amazing for me personally. I've got a speeder nx shaft on the way for my own Sim2. While I don't swing near as fast as Matty boy, this was still helpful to see how they behave together.

[@gregoryh4601]

Dear Matt. Please go to a Chiropractor and Get Crack and Scraping done first. Did you get a mouth Guard? Last trust me ! Try Callaway Epic LS Max 9deg with Tour adapter., AutoFlex shaft and last Callaway Chrome LS Golfball and Hang on this works well for me . I am 64 6’ 2” and now hitting it around 280 to 310 and lost my Fade. The only change is Shaft. I just can swing the cost Yet. Ian & Matt God Bless you Two and Families. Greg

[@SvingitGolf]

With my newly bought Alpha 816 DBD 9 deg with Aldila Rogue 110 MSI 60-3.8-S RIP IO. I do love the head. It's a compact 460 CC head with a deep face. Looks good behind the ball. Avg numbers with driver in standard settings. Club Speed = 111.7 mph. Ball Speed: 163.9 mph. Smash Factor: 1.47. Attack Angle: 5.6. Launch Angle: 9.4 deg. Dynamic Loft: 12.5 deg. Spin rate: 2613 rpm. Height: 25.8 meters. Land Angle: 34.7 deg. Carry: 246.9m. Total: 269.9m. Spin rate is up with 600 rpm. I'm used to spin rates at 1800-2100 rpm. I think it's because of the deeper face. I don't hit the ball as high in the face anymore. Height is down with 5-6 meters. Guess its the little to stout shaft. Don't feel the load as much. All my shots ended up on left side. club face closed to fast. Start aiming litte more right and started to hook the ball instead. With this information. Any shaft that you would remommend? Have booked a retro fit end of month to test other shafts. I have played the UST Proforce V2 (Yellow/White/Red) in the M5 head. I liked the feel of the shaft. it was wippy but stable at impact.

[@mattcoulson1560]

Apologies in advance if this is repeating what you've already tried - have you looked to flip the orientation of the gravity core (assuming it's set low) to reduce spin / provide some fade bias to help neutralise the flight? Perhaps setting the hosel to a flatter lie might help also if you're really having issues with the hook? It may not 100% fix your issues, although it might help between now and your fitting. Hopefully the retro fit goes well and you get what you want out of it! :) Cheers

[@brycegrisez9426]

Very intriguing video. I just got fit for clubs for the first time and was swinging the club 115-120 with minimum 4500 spin. The fitter ended up not even fitting me because I couldn’t hit a ball past 260

[@timseebold2355]

Great vlog! Spin is a killer into the wind especially if it’s side spin too! Always been a fader and I hate turning back into the wind. I might look at ball changes first with driver loft! Great channel boys! 👍

[@bradelliott3698]

Its really great to see Matty pound drives out here with 120 + swing speed with access to pretty much every shaft head combo available ,, what about the the 95 mph 3000+ spin guy ? Is there anything other than more gear to help get the spin down ? Swing ? Tee Height ?

[@gregorylu]

Shaft definitely. I currently average around 1700 spin (not ideal for most but it's the current driver config I have) with around low 100s CHS and 150s ball speed. Fujikura Motore X F3 is my shaft and it really tunes down the spin. I was actually back at my fitter's place using one of their trackmans and some girl came in with 2600 spin or so, the fitter gave her the Fujikura and her spin went down to around 2k instantly.

[@philhazel4810]

Lads, thanks so much for answering my question! Been out and set my 10.5 SZ to 9.0, improved total distance but still shooting off too high due to my swing which I would like to work on but don't want to change things too much because I hit fairways and don't want to risk that. Looking at a TM SiM2 8* with a low launch shaft (Tensei White).....this should work

[@nickjohnson5202]

Would have liked to have seen what that Speeder NX shaft did to his spin and flight in his tsi3 before/after going to the Sim2. The Accra shaft was the main culprit it seems, although I'm sure the heads played a part too.

[@timmygolfs]

Great video gents. One thing I'm struggling with is distance control with my wedges on partial shots specifically. How to take 5-10 yards off when you're already hitting a partial. Perhaps some related testing around making sure gapping is accurate and you have the right wedge shafts?

[@michaelparsons541]

[@morgancross5481]

I always thought it was interesting that in past driver bracket testing, specifically things like the TS3, that Matt just couldn't get the ball up in the air, even with a pretty positive AoA. It made for a good test aimed at people who deliver less dynamic loft and obviously inflated his distance numbers a little bit. Curious to see how if this sticks and whether or not his irons will be higher spin too.

Unfortunately in the UK we do not have as many facilities as yourself to get these alterations. Too often we have to purchase stock options for shafts etc..

Im a single figure handicapper

[@wlkgr8one]

If you guys have done this before I must have missed it. I have always had trouble missing to the right mainly because of an open club face. I got fitted for a new driver last spring. I swing about 105mph, up on the ball. I thought about the Sim Max D type to help me get more square at impact, problem was it spun way too much for me. The Sim Max didn’t get me as much ball speed as the Sim to outweigh the forgiveness. Ended up with the Sim 9° with Aldila Rogue silver 60 stuff. I have it at 9° with the upright setting. I still miss to the right, but if I loft it up to close the face a little it spins to high. Can you give me your thoughts on the differences in a 9° head at neutral vs an 8° lofted up (face closed) vs. a 10.5° lofted down (face open)? Will the launch and spin be relatively the same if they’re all set around 9°? I’d love to see a bunch of shots with the same shaft with the 3 different heads set around the same loft. Thanks men.

[@YoYoZamolo]

wow, the 1000rpm is costing 25yds carry, I ignore total as that depends on so many factors. I’m at 3200 with 11deg out to in club path. If I can get that neutral or in to out I could gain all that yardage and make golf enjoyable again 👌

[@andy66l97]

Great video👍. Into the wind would you still recommend teeing high & hitting up on the ball, or would you approach it differently? Conversely would you want more spin when hitting downwind to keep the ball in the air longer?

[@rohanmostert4975]

Great video again. I am in need of a full bag change. I'm playing 12-15 yr old sticks that were gifted to me. Handicap low 20s with a swing that many people (including coaches) say I should get to 12-15 without much trouble. My bad shots are really bad with erratic ball strike. Am I best to get fit for full bag in 1 go ( and save the $$ for a big purchase), or am I best to start with a particular spot in the bag (driver, irons, wedges etc) and build the bag progressively?

[@dabdias]

I would love to see a recommendation for players that tend to hit driver closer to heel. Would a smaller head driver (such as TSI4 or TM300) help?

[@jasonpritchard5081]

It’s helped mine. I game a TM300 knocked down to 9.5 and I’m hitting it more center and straighter than my old gamer Cobra SZ at 7.5. I also really liked what I was getting from the TSI4 when I tested it.

[@MrEasyaloha]

Back up half an inch?

[@dabdias]

@@MrEasyaloha That doesn’t work from experience with shorter shafts - I have tried a 44” shaft and even a 43.5” one from my TM300 (I also have one). I would like to hear TXG on this, because I think that with smaller heads, anyone who tends to hit closer to the heel, will be hitting closer to the center of the clubface when using a smaller club head (if you hit about the same distance from the shaft, the smaller the head is the closer to the center the strike will be). I recently learned (based on what I saw on Trackman and on an old blog post from a golf instruction company) that the SIM has the CG closer to the heel (slightly below center line and about 1/3 of the distance between center and edge of toe), and I have been lining my driver with the ball towards the toe. This has helped a lot, but I don’t like that and I would like to hear from TXG if there are other options. BTW - Do you really think you can adjust your stance by ½ inch? If you do, that is quite impressive. I am pretty sure I can’t, too much precision for me!

I leave a lot on the table, but, I respond poorly to a D-type setups, to help with delivery. Tried Sim2, Mavrik Max, B21, G425, and Max LS in draw set up. Working on swing with a coach, but it’s a work in progress. Need to be in play, and would appreciate any help.

Do the opposite of what they did today - loft up and choose driver with CG more back. For example, if you use SIM2, consider SIM2 Max. If you play 9* loft, consider 10* or even higher.

[@Trash_Panda_Manifesto]

Would you guys please help to answer a question I have never been able to find an answer to? My question is, in a PROPERLY FITTED shaft, should the golfer be able to feel the shaft flex? I swing a stiff flex but never actually feel any shaft flex. I have a pause at the top of my back swing. I think the lack of a fluid transition puts a lot less stress on the shaft in my swing as compared to other people. When I go down to a regular shaft I can feel the shaft flex sometimes. It feels a little funny but only because I am not used to it. It doesn’t feel bad. In a nutshell I am wondering if I am losing distance because I am not loading the shaft. I also realize that most golfers will get used to their shaft and probably won’t FEEL the flex after a while but my question is sort of general. Thank you for any help!

[@andy66l97]

Great question, would love to see the answer as I’m in the same place

[@Trash_Panda_Manifesto]

@@andy66l97 Thank you! Hopefully they can give us some insight into this. I have been wondering this for a long time now and can never get an answer.

[@ryanbarath1916]

It's a very interesting question and one where a golfer's individual perception plays a very big part in the overall feel - since we all feel and interpret differently. We all load the shaft one way or the other, whether it be overload, underload, or "just right" ala Goldilocks and the three bears and that is the sweet spot you want to find for each golfers load profile. The feel that is best associated with this is where the shaft works with you, and you and is able to create great results with your natural rhythm and speed ( swing your swing as they say). As a VERY general example - For smoother players, a shaft with a softer butt section will feel like it loads easier and a different player at the same speed but much more aggressive transition at the top of the swing the same shaft could feel loose. To whether you are personally losing distance or not - the only real way to find out is through a fitting to know your launch conditions and if an equipment change could alter them. Hope this helps - Ryan

[@alvinwan3542]

As I understand it, Low spin also means less forgiveness. I noticed my Callaway max ls fitted with a autoflex gives me good distance when I hit it perfect. However, on ,y bad drive I lose as much as 50 yards. How do you balance between Low spin and forgiveness or is there a driver head that would have a good combi of both?

A bit off-topic, but how different is the Speeder NX from the corresponding Ventus w/ VeloCore?

[@user-pt1nx6tr8u]

Looking at the results I would have thought the sweet spot on newer drivers is higher up on the club face. And, hitting the sweet spot consistently helps in keeping spin consistent and lower? Seems the strikes are lower on the face and even the launch monitor sweet spot placement is lower then I would have expected? Thoughts?

[@scottmanthey3549]

So, the question is, does this mean he is going to get a new driver now? Most of us don't have unlimited time/money to change around $700 drivers depending on how the wind is or how our neck is feeling (I have the same issues as Matt). I have a new tsi3 and I'm not going to buy a new SIM2 this winter, so if you really want to help us, you should teach us how to adjust things to make the best out of what we have.

[@TioVar2023]

Current problem is hitting low in clubhead. How much can fitting affect that?

[@ianvandootingh9363]

What would you say to someone who consistently has too LOW of spin off the tee? I generally hit it pretty solid, with a decent draw. (would go straighter with more backspin) I went and hit like 15 drives today on a simulator, and here are my averages: 9 degree Sim Max Launch - 13.1 Push - 3.7 degrees BackSpin - 874! Side Spin - 560 I'm not an expert, but I feel like my spin loft is next to 0. So are my options to swing less up on it, and to up the loft to 11 or so? This has plagued me my whole life it seems, and I can't figure out how to fix it. It is driving me nuts.

[@ryang1910]

Ian, listening to some of the tour pros, they want 2200-2500 this is a lot lower. Even when callaway introduced the epic line this time, it wasn’t as low spin. So why would i want to be at 2000?

[@rn2884]

In general, is the Sim2 8 lower spinning than the original Sim 8, by how much?

[@jeffe6540]

Hey guys.. tested the tsi4 and 3..hzrdus smoke yellow. Spin numbers were higher with tsi4 for some reason. Total distance was about the same but carried more with tsi4, but like the little more forgiveness of the 3. Played with my buddies 3 with the raw white shaft but seems to spin a little to much. Suggestions?

[@hansidelk6604]

Does faders (not slicers) produce more spin than drawers with driver?

[@dabdias]

If properly fit, no. Also, if shot shape is only driven by gap between club path and club face, then you probably just need to find a loft-CG combination that keep differential between dynamic loft and angle of attack narrow enough (to get low spin). If you watch Ryan’s recent driver fitting video you can see that he hits a fade but with low spin.

Please explain..... How was Dynamic loft reduced so much with the same swing and similar club head loft?? Thanks!

Check TXG’s video “What driver loft should you use?”.

How much does ball position effect spin? I find that if I tee it off my big toe, rather than my instep, my launch angle is much better, I hit it with less spin and I square the face better.

Got fitted into a Sim 2 Max set at 7 degrees on Hzrdus' "Hulk" back in February. worked on my speed pretty hard during lock downs and gained a little over 6 mph club head speed, unfortunately my spin and ball flight has went to the moon......I'm averaging between 3,500-4,000 rpm with peak heights hitting over 200 ft. where I was fitted they had said "the Hulk" was the lowest spinning option they carried (and was during the fit) is there anything that y'all could recommend that would kill some spin???

I have been looking for the Prov1 left dash balls everywhere and none are to be found.

I’m curious on how to stop teeth grinding during sleep...

I made some swing changes this year that really kinda demolished my ability to strike the ball, but I'm kinda wondering if some of it is equipment. I became a flipper cause I weakened my grip, but I also went to Winn DriTac 2.0 grips oversize, which are much much lighter than a normal grip. I play the mizuno JPX 919 forged irons with the Dynamic Gold 105 Stiff shafts. Before the swing change I hit my 7i 205, since the change it goes 175 when I'm striking it well, but as low as 145 when I'm flipping and swinging really poorly. I've actually gained club head speed overall and still don't get nearly as much out of it as I used to. Can grip weight throw off the feel of the club so much that it leads to that kind of loss of distance?
