Re: Draw vs. Nuetral driver

hi
you will find that most drivers have some draw bias built in as the makers think this help with the average golfer, I'm sure lowpost has found this on the more modern driver too. for a driver with a strong bias and a player that hits a fade i agree with the other two posters that it wont help in the long run but can help someone that hits a draw, i have seen when at a fitting how it affected the guy in front of me and he struggled with a bias driver and he hit a fade but wanted to try one but was OK with the standard driver. the pro showed him how he used the bias driver and he hit a few stunning drives on the computer but he hit a draw as his standard shot, he did not hit as well with the standard club but he still hit it a good 280 yard on the computer. it was a ping G5 driver and one was the standard 10.5 degree driver and the other was the 10.5 offset degree driver and the offset driver does look to have a closed face compared to the standard driver. i did not get a chance to try the driver and i only watched. i did try the irons.
cheers
bill
