Equipment tab

Checkmarks indicate currentlyselected clubs

SHAFT FLEX

The distance and speed of swing of the REGULAR

 

shaft is between the slower SENIOR and the faster

 

STIFF.

 

A If you tend to swing quickly, you should select a

 

Stiff shaft. If you swing at a slower speed, you

 

should select a Flex or Senior shaft. When

 

using TrueSwing, your swing speed is meas-

 

ured by the Tempo rating.

CLUB TYPE

Selecting the type of clubs to use: PERIMETER

 

WEIGHTED, LIGHT PERIMETER WEIGHTED or

 

FORGED.

 

A Perimeter weighted clubs have lighter penalties

 

for mis-hits, but fades and draws are more chal-

 

lenging. Forged clubs allow more intentional

 

bending of shots yet are less forgiving on mis-

 

hits. Light Perimeter Weighted are balanced

 

between the other two types.

BALL TYPE

Choose the type of ball to use: 2 PIECE DISTANCE,

 

SOLID CORE or WOUND BALATA.

 

A 2 Piece distance balls fly the furthest yet have

 

weak spin characteristics. Solid Core allows for

 

more spin performance. Wound Balata balls

 

have a shorter range yet the best possibilities

 

for spin.
