The driver well and truly swapped

[chrisd]

I had the Big Bertha Alpha driver courtesy of Callaway but found that although I was able to tonk it quite a distance the dispersion off the face on poorer hits was problematic on our tree lined course. I was fitted for a Callaway X2 Hot driver at Kings of Distance so ended up swapping the Alpha for the set up that Callaway had recommended, 9* blue stiff shaft, slight draw. A friend loved my Alpha so bought the X2 Hot driver with the free 3 hybrid for me and then did a swap.

I hit 13 drives and 11 fairways with the slightly less stiff ( I think) shafted driver and the bonus was that the hybrid went miles on its occasional trip out of the bag. So, all Callaway now, bar my two wedges and putter, and a new convert to Callaway with the Alpha!

It's all about finding what works best and trusting it. Having confidence over the ball is a large part of the equation. Enjoy playing off the short stuff and go low regularly. No excuses now

Nice one Chris - the Alpha can be a bit of a beast, I didn't get on with it at all at my fitting.
The BB may have been better for you but the X2 Hot is a good replacement.
The Blue shaft is a good one, a bit less work than the Green...!!
Still hitting my BB generally well, sometimes very well!!

I was hitting my Ping G15 well, before KOD there didn't seem to be an alternative to the BB or Alpha on the freebie but the X Hot seems to be easy to swing like the G15 but quite a bit longer which at KOD was give as 278 yards average. A few drives at Cooden with the Alpha were 275+ so I'm pleased that the X Hot is about the same distance.

Glad you're happy with the BB Ian, life's in a better place if you whack it off the tee!

All you need to do now is update your signature

We were side by side when you tried mine at 172yds, didn't you fancy moving to the #Loftup brigade :smirk:
