| Re: woods that won't slice
Can’t speak with any authority yet, but I just bought a Tayor Made R5 N driver and am waiting for her to make it from the States to Manila to complete my bag. From everything I have read, this baby is supposed to greatly reduce slice and pull and give an average hitter a good 240-250 yards, even on less than perfect swings. If you get it good, it is supposed to give close to 300! One need only an 85% swing apparently. A friend of mine has one (for righties so I can’t use it). He is shorter than I am and has a controlled, effortless-looking swing off the tee. He easily gets 230 yards. I don’t think I’ve seen him hit it under 200 in recent rounds, even off the heel.
I hope it is all it is supposed to be for me also. I swing harder and faster than he does, so my expectations run high (dangerous, I know). Will let you know after I start hitting her next week (I’m giddy as a kid on Christmas).
Cheers! |
