"Spinnier" Drivers

[monktonhallgc1882]

Had a bash with the SLDR today wasn't really too much of a fan wasn't getting a proper flight due to my low spinning but average power ball flight the ball tended to "nosedive" I should probably be looking towards a slightly spinnier head where the ball stays in the air for longer, any suggestions guys?

What loft was it set to? I know some folk that had to go up to 12 degrees plus to get the desired flight and distance

More loft will give more spin with any driver, so try cranking up the SLDR to the highest loft. Titleist is known as a manufacturer whose drivers tend to give higher spin rates for players who need it.

I went up to 12.5* loft to get to the 17* optimal ball flight the Taylormade fitters wanted and I've never looked back.

Can they do a fitting to the degree of changing shafts though? Not really a fitting if your just working through different drivers with stock shafts in, is it?

Uh Oh. Not sure that is the answer to your problem. There will be much spin at AG but it might not be from the ball off the club face.

Maybe the best driver for you is one you don't now you like yet?

I didn't know that, seems to contradict their marketing spiel though.

Titleist have recently brought out a 915D4 limited edition driver, designed to have lower spin. The D3 has a bit more spin, and the D2 some more again.

The 913 has a shade more again.
