  1. Love this driver, getting the details dialed in

    Got the length(44.75") and swing weight(D4) dialed in but have been toying around with the surefit, bouncing between B1 and C1.

    Im sure I like the flat lie, but the openness of the face Im trying to figure out whats the best setting

    B1 - Get a nice straight to slight draw flight, if I miss it will be a hook.  Carry is around 270-280 10-15 yds are roll out

    C1 - This is what I would call a power fade carries 10yrds further than the B1 and rolls out a bit more.  If I miss it will be right, BUT SOMETIMEs i can hook it (obviously the Indian with a two way miss)  I have to watch, with the lower setting I sometimes want to let the ball creep too forward and I believe that facilitates the hook.

    Q
    1. The more open face with the power fade goes further, I would think the B1 setting would have gone further esp with the draw shot shape.  Why does the C1 open face go further?  Ball flight(height) is roughly similar (all my comparisons where done on the range with a laser dist.) No trackman

    2.  Two way miss is NO good, since I can ink some more distance out of the C1 should I go with that and try to work on my swing so that I take the left side out of play, or is the more closed face easier to manage from a swing repeatability stand point.

    3.  Which setting would be better to work the ball, I would assume the open face would it not?

    Thanks for any input

    The b1 setting is a square face but flat lie setting so it will move your contact out toward the toe just a little which is causing the draw.  the c1 setting is open because you took loft off. Play the power fade and work on hitting a draw with that setting when you need to. The greatest player of all time, you know who won 18 majors but i can't say his name or they wont let me post this, played a power fade.  so did TW in his time.  Its a great ball flight.  Don't work on taking the left side out of play but rather work the ball when you need to. 

  3. I agree with Nate, go with the fade and take the left side of the hole out of play. 

  4. I like the ball flight of c1, but will go a little too much fade occasionally.  B1 is really easy, but ill go too far left and its shorter than the c1 one setting for me.   I think D1 might be the ticket

    thanks for the input
