Most Forgiving Driver ?

[USER1999]

The other thing you will find is that golf isn't just about distance. The dispersion from a 14 degree driver will be much tighter than from a 9.5 say (unless you have a consistent swing, like a better golfer). The more lofted face will be easier to hit straight.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think 14.5 is way to much especially when a standard 3 wood starts at 15 degrees. To get any discernible distance between the 3 wood and driver I'd go no higher than 12 degrees which in my opinion will give you plenty enough launch angle. Have a play around with different makes. If it helps the K15 in a regular 10.5 loft was as easy a driver to hit as I've come across.

My new i15 is 11 degrees but the shaft fitted to it helps it launch a bit lower.

And lefter, definately lefter.

That tee shot off the first in the afternoon was a figment of your imagination. So was the provisional.

Not sure of the RRP but I think the K15 was going for £159 yesterday

219.99 at the club i play at

I'd rather have an i15.
The K is a bit unwieldy

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Have to disagree Smiffy. It looks huge behind the ball and is light and so sweet to hit. I fell in love with the I15 driver though but the K15 is definitely worth looking at for anyone struggling with their drives. It reminded me of the original Big Bertha in the way it was so easy to hit well and just a shame it was so noisy like the old Sumo

I would suggest a












5 iron.


Once yu master the timing of that, then you move to a 3 wood and then a driver.

Reminds of a time a mate and I were trying drivers at American Golf in Kettering on a launch monitor. My mate was hacking them all over the shop but after hitting several drivers he asked the assistant what he would recommend. 'A 3 wood was the reply'.

At least it was still golf related.
I would have been told "a tennis racquet"

Not a problem. I was actually quite surprised. The irons are awful and real beginner jobbies but the driver is a dream. Way too much spin and launch angle for me but very easy to hit and for anyone struggling would be an ideal go to model

Homer. Are you on commission from Ping?

You only needed to post once that you loved the flipping club (although not suited to you)- NOT 5 or 6 TIMES ffs.
