What GolfWRXers are saying about forgiving, fade biased drivers
In our forums, our members have been discussing fade biased yet forgiving drivers. WRXer ‘drumdude96’ sets out what he’s looking for, saying: “I need something that helps keep me from shutting the face down too quickly, but that is also pretty good when you don’t hit the sweet spot.”
And our members have been sharing their suggestions.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- greenwavegolfer: “I think you pretty much nailed it with either of the G425 heads. If the fade bias matters more than the forgiveness, go LST; if the forgiveness matters more than the fade bias, go Max with the weight in the toe. I think either of those would be about your best options though.”
- craz-e: “Original SIM. I was a TM hater too, but I walked into the fitting with the intention of buying what performed best for me.”
- Golfingfanatic: “Mavrik Sub Zero Triple Diamond with a heavy weight in the back instead of the 8g/8g weight configuration.”
- TigerInTheWoods: “The Max LS comes to mind straight away.”
