My driver speed is average 100 mph and 7 iron is 84 mph. I think i am a kind of hitter. Iron is good but I always hit my driver towards the heel area instead of sweet spot. (even with the new one!!!) I am 5'8'' tall and someone said that i shall use a 44' driver in order to have a more consistence.
If I address the ball (grounded) nearly all the way to the toe, should it be useful? Or should I cut one inch of the shaft and add more weight to the head as it provided with more screw with TP version.
Anyway, it is a good deal since the driver was selling HK$5,000 before!

LJ,
Try positioning the club with the ball a little towards the toe before cutting down your driver. As you extend your right arm through impact with CF pulling the club out, the tendency is for the head to be a little further away from your body than at address whether it be impact fix or modified (I think - I will get corrected if I get this wrong
). Start with the ball a little towards the toe and work it out further until you get repeated contact in the center. You can do this with your shorter clubs as well and should see less ball towards toe as the club gets shorter. It will look a little weird at first. Make sure you apply your TGM stroke the same as you are now, i.e., don't try and help the club reach the ball; it will make it on its own. BTW, I am only 5'6" and use a 45" driver (swingspeed 95 - 100) so height shouldn't be an issue. Good luck and nice stick!
