Wow!! I love the precision with which Jeff Hull worked on his golf game. (drilling to keep your head perfectly still, impressed me alot.) Another thing I loved was how you got out of results and focused on process by just dealing with what you could control, i.e. hitting down to low point.
The driver I want to have built is a 525 GRT made by Wishon Golf. They offer a hosel weight of up to 9 grams. (It represents a way that a club maker can get to the swingweight he desires by adding weight cleanly and out of sight.) Because the weight is above the clubhead, I assume it affects the moi of the club to a slightly lesser extent than it would if the weight was on the rear sole of the clubhead.
My plan is to have Wishon hand pick the lightest driver clubhead they have, (Maybe 195 instead of 202). By cutting my shaft down to 44.5 additional weight would need to be replaced. To get to my clubmaker's 207 target from 195, I would have 12 grams of lead tape weight to increase my driver's MOI by a few hundred points and raise the ball flight modestly. The rest of the weight would be dropped into the hosel. You said it was what feels good, and frankly my current driver has a 209 gram clubhead which feels fine. Maybe I should add additional lead tape and see when it stops feeling good? What is the heaviest driver clubhead you have built Jeff, which felt good to the golfer?
