I just quoted that part, but I agree with everything he posted.The dirty little secret is that well over 50% of us on this board fall into this category. The actual figure is probably a lot higher than 50%...
Most people that know what they can do with all of their discs find there is a grey area between mids and putters and fairway drivers and distance drivers, too.i think there is a legitimate gray area for what is deemed a fairway driver or a midrange shot.
Most people get a weaker rip with wider rimmed discs (Valk and wider), they just don't know it. You feel like you're gripping them tighter but at the hit your grip is actually weaker. You have to have a really strong grip to make up for that.
for me fairway drivers are mostly for when i screw up off the tee and im still really far back from the basket , sometimes i use them for holes i cant realisticly birdie and just need to get in the fairway kinda like your using your 3wood in golf .So, I have looked at fairway drivers and often wondered what on eath their purpose is. If I'm close (within 150ft) I will just use my Roc or putter, if I'm further away I'll just use a driver and take some off. I played in a tourney this weekend and had about 4 or 5 situatins where I was too far away for my Roc so I took some power off my driver only to see it fade past the basket into trouble amd cost me a shot at birdie. So my question is...do I need a fairway driver and if so, what would you recommend? I need accuracy over distance. Thanks
I don't think I have a "legitimate" fairway driver in my bag. Anything 200' and in I'll throw my putter, 200' to 300' I'll usually throw a Wasp or a Buzzz and 300' and up I'll throw a driver.
at first i didnt realy like my champ leopard as i was using it for approach shots but a couple weeks ago i took it out to mozola with just that and my putter and shot par , i think the trick to it is you gotta throw it fairly hard then it really thrives in that 200-275 range .
