| I want to hit the ball farther Loft: At least 2 degrees less in the driver and longer irons for faster swing speed players; At least 2 degrees more in the driver and long irons for slower swing speed players; At least 2 degrees less in the fairway woods, middle and short irons for all swing speed players. Clubhead design: Center of Gravity At least 3-4 mm higher and 4-5 mm closer to the face for faster swing speed players (over 80mph driver swing speed) in the woods ; No more than 2-3 mm lower and 3-4 mm farther back from the face for slow swing speed players (under 80mph driver swing speed) in the woods Weight Distribution: Greater perimeter weighting for all swing speed players to get more out of an off-center hit. Shaft weight: Lighter by at least 30-40g from the player's previous shaft weight. Shaft flex: More flexible; RSSR to be 10mph more than player's actual swing speed. Total weight: Lighter by at least 1.5 oz from the same club number in the previous set. SwingWeight: At least 3-5 points higher from increasing actual head mass without drastically increasing total weight at the same time from a shaft weight increase; To increase distance, the swingweight increase must come from head weight increase more than from simply increasing length. Length: Longer by as little as 1/2 inches (greater than the previous set) in all the clubs for players who hit the ball on center a high percentage of the time; Shorter by 1 inches in the driver for players who do not hit the ball on center very often; Longer by 1/2 inches in the middle and short irons for all players. Golf club balance point: Make the club(s) with a lower balance point at the same time the total weight is lowered. This means building the set with swingweight that is higher than normal for the length being advised. Grip size: Large enough to be comfortable for the player, regardless of the distance from the fingertips to the heel of the hand. |
