What's the best fade biased driver on the market?


UnderPar18

Recommended Posts

Epic Flash Triple Diamond sounds like what I am after, but being lefty I can't seem to get one...

 

What's a solid fade biased driver that keeps up with the longest drivers?

 

I'm currently playing the Epic Flash, but even at -1 adapter setting the club head seems to sit square at best. Some lead tape art has helped, but still not fully confident with this club standing on the tee box

I've read that if you replace your left handed callaway adapter with a right handed adapter (and vice versa) the draw setting will actually be a fade biased setting and make lie angle flatter. I have no idea if loft adjustments would be flip/flopped as well. I also have no idea how to tell difference bw left handed and right handed callway adapter. And even then, you're only getting 1* flatter, I think.

 

I would look for flattest lie angle driver you can find with good reviews. I think titleist drivers offer some fade biased settings in their adapter.

My TS2 9.5 opens up nicely and visually noticeable when addressing the ball. That's also when I put my PX-6C12 tour issue stiff tip shaft in and bust it.

I had my XR16 set up like that before changing to the Pro model last year. I've got my M1 set up like that now as well. Very fun for someone with a snap hook like me. ;-)

All anyone needs to do is set the sleeve in the fade position and keep from setting it on the ground. Mine is set at fade bias C1

OK. Using that belief, none of the current drivers with sleeves could be fade bias like old drivers with naturally open face angles. They haven't made that type of head in years. Partly why driver sleeves are dominating the driver biz. They are the best of both worlds.
