School me on static driver loft and actual loft at impact
pitchinwedge replied to pitchinwedge's topic in WRX Club Techs
Thanks Howard! -
Comparing two driver heads of the same model, where the stated loft of one head is 9 degrees and the other is 10 degrees. Assuming the same swing, delivery, and a slightly high-toe impact location (robot arm?), what differences could we expect? IME, the 10 degree driver head would generate less ball speed, >1 degree increase in initial launch angle, and more spin than the 9 degree head. I can't explain why technically. I'm guessing bulge and roll has a part to play in this, but would really like to hear a better explanation of the physics. Thanks!

> @JoeJoeJoeUrBoat said: > CBs peaked at 718 if you ask me, they were gorgeous. So sad. They ruined the CB. The short irons look hideous. And to hell with the T100. I don't play blades, but for me it's the MB's or jump to another brand. Good thing I'm not in the market for a new set of irons (at least I think I'm not).

So like I said in my OP, lots of bashing in regards to 17/1700. :black eye: The SLDR is history but there are many newer low spin driver/shaft combos out there. Again, despite the naysayers, its certain some folks have the swing and the equipment to consistently hit these numbers and still find a high % of fairways. If this is you, what are you using?

Yups. I recall putting a screw in the toe area. My miss is definitely heel. Rarely hit out on the toe. The random hook totally makes sense now. :scare2:

Absolutely true if you found the right loft /shaft combo. The only guys who hated it were the ones playing too little loft and the hookers. I play a fade and loved its heel bias. Easier to square up. What do you mean by heel bias? More weight in the heel? I think this may be true as I recall having a random pull hook with my SLDR 430. Hardly "unreliable", but it did make me scratch my head once in a while. Overall was a great club for me at the time.

Clearly, the "loft-up" marketing campaign is dead. More often than not, the mention of 17/1700 elicits some bashing or at the very least a flip of the hand from the experts. But looking back at past few years, I'm wondering if some of us have made a mistake by going back to more traditional launch conditions? So then, is anyone still playing 17/1700 at launch (or trying to) and what club/shaft are you using to do it?
