For you Fast Swingers

[lawrencedc1]

I have a pretty fundamental question regarding deep driver heads. My question is can a slower swing speed player (high 80's low 90s ) benefit from say a Superdeep or etc. Just wondering, I never see lower handicaps with slower swing speeds play deep drivers.

Anyone?

I think a slower swing speed needs more loft or help getting the ball in the air. A deeper clubface usually results in less backspin, which should yield more roll for most players. I don't see any reason that someone couldn't play a 10.5* Superdeep effectively.

Caveat: I'm no expert!

[i]slower swing speed u'll need a lighter and softer shaft because when u "swing" it does a flicking motion hense lighter and softer shafts give ppl that flick so the ball goes[/i]

Technically yes a slower swinger could use a deep face driver effectively. However I don't think a Superdeep would be said driver. If that player hits slightly down on the ball and thus produces excess spin with their current set up they could use a deeper driver such as a CG Classic to lower the spin, and potentially a higher loft to bring the launch back up. However in reality slower swing speeds generally benefit from more spin than less, in which case it would probably be wiser for that player to go for something like a CG Black or one of the lighter drivers which generally launch higher with more spin.

Deeper faces are for guys with at the very least 95mph club head speed. When you get above that it is when you start looking for lower spin.

Might get more responses if you put in the right section...this is the Japanese market thread
