Hey everyone, Shawn here with Savannah Mu. And man, do we have an episode for you Well, that
rhymes, this is awesome because just, you know, when you're, you're, you're rehearsing
with a proper launch monitor, certain things pop up after a while that, you know, go ding
a Ling, a Ling in the head. And one of those was, Hey, how come I'm swinging my three wood
at the same quickness at the same speed as my driver. And notice what I did, my driver
is now the same length as my three wood. And I got the same speed as I ever did, except
that I'm 25 yards longer than my three wood with the driver. Now, so many other benefits
are coming into play right now. It is a blast. You really don't want to miss this episode.
So I'm going to start off. I'm going to show you my speed with my Calloway speed, three
wood, and I've got the triple diamond LS driver right here, both on the Aldila envy green
shaft. So hitting that draw, just starting to the right edge of that intermediate point,
Caught that a little thin, but there's 112 miles per hour club speed with pardon me with
that three wood. And my three would basically as my 275 clubs. So staying with it, There
it is 112 miles an hour caught that pretty flush. There are my two 50 carries and about
265 270 yards total. So we take the old driver At 43 inches and, you know, I was having a
great session. The other morning. I was swinging at about 114 miles per hour with the three
wood. And then I get on the driver feel good. It's 1 14, 1 15, and there's basically no
difference. So get back into here. We want to swing it nice and smooth. Just like the
three wheels
That was tagged 111 miles an hour. There's 280 plus carry and there's almost 310 yards
total, 160mph ball speed, 2000 RPM and right, right in the middle, right in the middle.
I mean, you just can't have better numbers than that for a 55-year-old guy. And that
was so much fun. And here are some of the benefits. And I think Sam is going to feel
the same way on this one as well, where I feel like my posture I'm able to stay with
my ball a lot longer and I've always been a really good fairway woods player. And so
many of you have come to me and said, you know, Shawn, I'm doing great with the irons
and the fairway woods, but the drivers all over the place and I'm scratching my head,
him and, and hon, okay, work on this, work on that. And now I'm realizing that for many
of you, the shaft is just too long and you're not benefiting from that extra length.
And we've been lulled into thinking about that. Now go back to Ricky Fowler, 43 and
a half inch driver. And I bet you there's a whole bunch of them through golf WRX that
you've seen that have a much shorter shaft on the driver. And it's not for more control
because my speed is unaffected. Okay. So let's have a look at Sav and see how she does with
it. Okay. So Sav is just warming up right now. It's a little cool today. We played a
big round yesterday and so we're hovering around the 102-104mph mark. So let's start
with your stock driver.
Yeah.
Okay. So very nice drive. So really good stock drive for savvy 290 yards yesterday. we had,
our opening tournament here at the club and everybody was in awe of how far she was hitting
it. The one that odd me the most was a five wood, which she hit for 285. We were downwind,
but we were not expecting the ball to get onto the green when people were already on
the green. So Sav had to do her, her, her soccer jog over to the green to say, sorry.
So it was a little, 125-pound creature hitting the green from one 285 to 290. And, I hit
my three-word right after her from the same spot. Cause we were playing scramble and I
was only a foot ahead of her. It was just unreal. I mean, it was just fantastic. So
let's put my driver shaft, which is perfect stiffness for her, and let's put that into
her driver and see what happens when we take it, it's basically taking an inch off the
length. Okay.
Kicks different.
It kicks differently. Huh And yeah. So you're 102mph with it.
Sorry about that. The 103mph. So,
So at 103 miles an hour, carry was 244 yards. It's just not performing for you at all. So
you, I mean, you're losing a good solid 25 yards on your carry on that one.
Right.
And yeah. And then we brought that launch back down. Cause we, we switched it to nine
degrees. Now the launch is a 12 and a half, but only cause you're, you're hitting it a
lot more in the center of the face now. Right. So, let's put your, your shaft back on and
see what happens.
Oh shoot. Yeah, I know. Well, don't worry. There's there's your, there's your 290 yards drive
back in. So we know for you 44inch and a half is a much more beneficial length. at
50 grams is great. And now notice right in the center of the phase 265 carry. So it's
20, 20 yards more carry minimum. And but it's only one mile an hour difference, but the
rest is so different. It's amazing. The, the, the change that it makes on your ball flight
and your carry everything else and that's pretty neat, isn't it So for me, I think it's
very beneficial because I got the same distance as I normally have on my drives, but I feel
like I can be more accurate with it. And for you, you feel much better with that. The timing,
the tempo, and everything else. I'm really interested to see what happens to yours Mu,
but I've had the problem is that shaft is way too flexible for me. Just be interesting
to see kind of, what kind of speed he can generate with it. All right. Let's check it
out.
Oh, I lost it. Oh, perfect. Wow. Yeah. Very nice. So what was, yeah,
So 181mph ball speed. 128 miles an hour. Okay. So let's see how fast you hit the shorter
shaft now. Okay. So do a couple of practice swings of that. Ooh. Feels a lot different,
But it's got a
Nice feel in the transition. Good. So that means basically you got a three-word in your
hands. Yeah. It does feel like a toy though. It does feel like a toy. Yes. Okay. All right.
I feel like I can stay a little lower with this. You feel that too Yes. That's what I
feel. Well, hold on to that one a little bit. It's still the same 126 mph. Yeah. How cool
is that Good Wow? I got high. The 126 miles an hour again, move, as a teacher. Yeah. I'm
liking the posture that you have with that right now because you got really long arms,
right Yeah. That's right,
Dude. See, I stayed low on that one.
Exactly. 127mph right in the center of the face. And man, if we put an extra stiff shaft
on that, I'm thinking it would be really good. The kick on it is very different. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Cause that's cause I need that kick, right Yeah. So you look at that nice center
hit 1.7 up right there. Yeah. The spin was okay. Yeah. But look at the club's speed.
That's you That's what we've been doing all morning for you right now. That's right. And
it would, the face was just 1.5 degrees open. Correct. So for 330 down the middle. Yes.
That's good, that's really good. Yeah. So let's see you finish on a nice one here. Okay.
Let's confirm that.
Yeah. Really good.
Not bad. I was just on the face I think. Yeah. I was just having to face. Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah. So what was the speed on that one 125 Yeah? 125, 125. Yeah. So I'm thinking if the
chef has just a little less pop in it to follow you a little bit more, you'll probably get
a little, you know, a couple of miles an hour. Yeah, that's right. And I think it would be
a good compromise if we brought yours down and we do have actually do have a 44-inch
extra stiff shaft. Yeah. Let's try that right now. Sure.
Oh, beautiful drive. Whoa. You guys should have seen the flight on that. We're going
into, I like a four club wind right now. The spin was pretty high though. Yeah. It was
nuts. It was a beautiful flight. It was the Spinney flights look really cool. Right. So
128 miles an hour. Yeah. Right. I can whip it. Pretty good with this thing, the chef.
Exactly. So at 44 inches in not losing anything. Yeah. We stay, you know, stay in the extra
stiff at 44 inches. We should go and try and play a couple of rounds with that one and
see which, you know, see how well you keep it in play. And then if that's the case, then
we just take, you know, w we can take a half-inch off at a time with yours, just see which ones
work because we need to keep you in it. But for your, your, I think your competition shaft,
we should keep you in a longer shaft. Yeah. See it. See if we can muster as much a clubhead
speed as possible. That's right. But as far as the experiment of a little less length,
right. We haven't changed the speed at all. No, that's the fun part. That was 1 28. That's
what you had with your, your 45 and chef. Yeah. That's right. Cool, man. Thanks for
the help. No problem. Hope you guys enjoyed that. We'll see you next time.
