  1. I am trying to determine the dynamics of gripping down on the driver. I read that you can lose distance and gain control. But how much distance would you lose gripping down 3 inches on a standard 45 inch shaft. I have read different opinions…some say they hit the ball farther - better contact, would you get more swing speed (not necessarily clubhead speed). What would adding a bit more weight to the driver head do? Way too many variables! Thanks, sorry if this has already been covered.

  2. I’m also interested in what to expect from adding head weight to the driver. Can changed weight affect ball flight and if so how much..

    This is what fittings are for. Far too many variables, and different players prefer and need different specs. Some may do better with a 44" driver than a 45.5", some prefer C9 swingweight and others D6. What works for others likely won't work for you. Go see a professional fitter to find what works best for your swing.
