GG26
Challenge Tour Pro
The Ping mobile fitting truck was at our club today and I went along to try out a fairway wood as I am not very consistent with what I've got.
After just two hits with my existing three wood the fitter said that my angle of attack was 5 degrees negative (ie too steep) and that what was likely causing my fades. To assist he put me into a 3-wood (SFT) with a 5 wood stiff shaft. Whilst it remains to be seen if this cures the problem, this set up was definitely 20 yards longer than my Nike Covert 2.0 (regular).
I also had a go with the G410 driver (SFT) which was long for me at 220 carry and 240 with roll out (normally both are 20 yards shorter with my Nike Vapor Fly). What the fitter did say that surprised me was that if I could get my swing shallower to the optimum angle of attack I could gain 30-40 yards on the driver with my current swing speed. That seems a long way and wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this.
