What is the Most Forgiving, Low Spin Driver for 2023

getitdaily · October 13, 2023

Not sure how stealth2+ with heavier back weight can be beat. I've missed 2 fairways in 2 rounds since putting it in play.

May still try the paradym 3d I bought, but s2+ is really, really solid.

I don’t know, maybe my numbers are higher than what the simulators say. I’ve always been able to hit the ball far outside as well.

I imagine clubs are optimized to how pros want them to play. Not necessarily the longest? 🤷🏽‍♂️

I initially did believe your ball speed and still do. It's just that these launch monitors, even the best ones(trackman, GCQuad, etc.) can be off in terms of carry and total distance since they go off based on algorithms especially when the the spin is sub 2000 rpm.

TSR2 10' does nicely for me, and Ventus Velo TR Blue 5 series shaft and DASH -ProV1x help with low-spin. TSR2 and TSR4, 8' or 9' are options too.

There are more forgiving drivers, but not as likely to be low-spin. Forgiveness and spin often come in the same package.

At what altitude setting?

Always below sea level lol

I assume 0

I agree, I assume my driver distance is a combination. I’ve used trackman before but was messing around playing a course with friends (so unsure of true driver distance)

different shaft but similar results

I replaced my Epic Speed with Miz STZ220 and I hit it slightly farther but definitely straighter. Not a 2023 club I know but for what it’s worth. It’s supposed to be low spin and forgiving, but it’s also pretty long. I researched it quite a bit and I’ve been really happy with it. I am not sure the 230 is the same animal or not. I believe it is a little longer but I’ve never hit it.
