I continue to be surprised by the number of Tour players with higher lofted (10.5) drivers. Is there any kind of standard for what one's driver loft "should" be? And why the sudden surge of higher lofted drivers on Tour? I can remember when…
Is it true that the shaft goes into the new 909 heads 1.5 inches, which will essentially tip the shaft?
"Although Nick is considered a low spin player, his ball speed is well above even the Tour average (170-180 mph with driver)."
Then what would you estimate is TOUR average ball speed ?
Can't wait to see which Titleist pro/am makes their mark at Pebble! Ha ha ha, how sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet it is!
High spin, low spin, no spin..I don't care what anyone says, that putt Nick made at 16 was clutch. He can look back and say that was the defining moment for his tournament.
Although Nick is considered a low spin player, his ball speed is well above even the Tour average (170-180 mph with driver). That much ball speed on its own generates enough spin to keep the ball airborne. Adding loft to his irons is helping Nick hit…
Nick and Adam are, in fact, both low launch/low spin players. Nick's spin is not excessively low, however, and his driver ball speed can range from a stock 170 mph to an all-out 180 mph. At those speeds, spin is not as much of a concern to keep the…
Don't you mean that Nick is a low launch/high spin player? Thus the reason for playing an 80 gram X stiff low spin shaft and a Pro V1x? I was always under the impression that Adam Scott was the one who had a hard time generating enough spin.
Standard tipping on Nick's driver.
Is the shaft in Nick Watney's driver tip trimmed?
