Driver Help

[The19thHole]

Recently (over christmas) I purchase a brand new Callaway RAZR Fit 9.5º.
Can anybody please shed some light and theory as to why I can only hit it
on average 200yrds when my previous driver (Callaway Diablo Edge [draw
bias]) 225/240yrds????????

Thanks in adv
Stu

What loft and did the Diablo have the same reg or stiff shaft ?

I see the Diablo was 10.5 loft that's not going to help with the soggy ground at present lower flight less carry?

There isn't really enough info to say with any certainty what the problem is. However, if I was to hazard a guess, I would say that your swing speed is probably not enough to optimise the trajectory on a 9.5* head and hence you are losing carry and distance. What shafts are in the new and old one?

Thanks guys.

The New RAZR has 9.5 reg shaft
The old Diablo has 10.5 stiff.

When I tried out the RAZR I was getting carry distance of 235yrds with about 10-15 yrds roll.

When you say "tried it out" what exactly do you mean - what did that involve? On a range, in a shop, etc??

Did you buy it from an authorised dealer or second hand? The regular shaft shouldnt really cut the distance down just make it harder to control if you are swing to quick for it.
It might also be worth checking with Callaway that is a genuine club via the serial no :0(

I tried it out along with other new drivers Cobra Amp, Titleist D12, Rocketballz etc
at a huge store in the Boston (US) called Golf Town. The results for the Razr were
a great, straighter, better and longer than my current club, so I opted to purchase.

Dont quite understand the question if you tried the Driver out before buying

 

[dandpl]

I do'nt understand either!

Did you "try it out" on a range or a simulator?

Further more I understand not why people would buy any club without hitting balls on a range preffrably with a trackman or similar and the guidence of a Pro you trust or a clubmaker of repute.

Anyway best of luck
