Topic: Golf Equipment / Angle of Attack: Its Role in Fitting

I really don’t see how just changing the loft can be the solution to launch angle. For example:
Not too long ago I went to a mixed manufacturer Demo day.
I tried a 9.5 from each of Calloway(FT5 & FTI), Cobra (M-Speed), Mizuno, Ping (Rapture) and Taylor Made(R7 and Burner).
I used what I felt was the same swing with each and hit about 10-12 shots with each but although they all went within about 20 metres of each other (~210m – 230m) but the height they flew varied greatly. This difference in height despite them all having a regular shaft and 9.5.
To get the same launch angle I would have had to have a different loft depending on the manufacturer.

Topic: Golf Equipment / Taylormade - Superquad Vs Burner

Hi Guys,

To speak to the original question: I have a Burner – 9.5 loft R shaft (off the shelf). My swing speed as measured with my 5 iron was 91mph – can’t remember my driver head speed but this club is great. It goes about 20m further than my old Titleist 983k with similar specs and although it took a little time to get used to I mostly put it on or near the fairway now. I recommend that you try them both (as I did) on a demo day before you make your decision. To put my comments into context: I’m nearly up to retirement and a long marker (off 11) these days.
