Callaway Triple Diamond Ai Smoke Start Lines

jdandrews14 · April 6

I was reading Johnny Wunder's blog on shot shape and driver configuration - https://worldofwunder.callawaygolf.com/tips-from-the-callaway-tour-performance-trailer-how-to-set-up-your-ai-smoke-driver-to-dial-in-a-shot-shape/. I had a question on Sam Burns settings, Johnny alludes that Sam he has neutral setup with some additional gear but talks about the left start window. As someone that struggles with a straight or sight right window with a right falling ball flight I would like to know what driver settings for the Triple Diamond Ai Smoke head could help promote a more left starting window? He doesn't really get into specifics for just that type of flight.

I know exactly what you are referencing from JW.

Honestly, I never really heard before of corresponding head shape and start line. I'd love to understand more of the Callaway logic.

I thought there was a mention in one of his posts that he was seeing a number of players in a D +1 setting, as that would tend to make it more upright, with a bit more of a closed face thus promoting more of a left start line for a right handed player.

he didn’t mention what sleeve they would be using as I know there are three, so I just assumed that he was talking about the standard sleeve

This is the setting that I use and it helps me have a better controlled cut shot. Leaves a little left of the target and then falls about 5 yards right of the target line.

There is a youtube video where JW explains Burns, Rahm, and Xanders exact settings, but they don't all use a retail head. One thing that was common was they all loft their drivers up from whatever stock is, to get the face to close and one of them did use the upright setting which also makes the face close.
