Joe’s old driver had a previous generation HZRDUS shaft, so the new HZRDUS Smoke shaft, a stock option for new TS metals, was a great place to start.https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2018_tt_ultimate_experience/116137Fri, 16 Nov 2018 19:19:27 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:4970387d-2a1b-40bd-8d85-c6cc1ee8b065Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0The numbers don’t lie! Joe’s dispersion with a new Titleist TS2 driver (purple ellipse) was much tighter than with his existing driver (white ellipse) and he saw remarkable gains in ball speed (6.8 mph), carry distance (24.3 yards) and total distance (27 yards). https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2018_tt_ultimate_experience/116136Fri, 16 Nov 2018 19:19:26 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:c48b9239-7562-4461-92b8-08f692f723bfRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Yeah, Joe, we’d smile at those numbers, too!https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2018_tt_ultimate_experience/116135Fri, 16 Nov 2018 19:19:25 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:e1a7ebc7-79f5-4176-99ba-0c5e5e4cc933Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0John then shifted gears to his TS Driver fitting…https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2018_tt_ultimate_experience/116134Fri, 16 Nov 2018 19:19:25 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:1ce2b557-65f9-43cd-b42a-24b68ea927e8Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0… while Joe and Lucas dialed in irons. In Joe’s case, the right combination was 718 AP2 with Dynamic Gold X-100 shafts. Joe had been in a softer shaft that was 1/2 inch long. Standard length improved Joe’s strike quality without any loss in distance and the firmer shaft tightened up his dispersion.
