Straighter

In simple terms, you’re better off hitting it 230 yards into the fairway than 260 yards into trees. Your handicap is based on how many shots you take to get round – not how far you hit your driver – so favour as much forgiveness as possible in a setup that still enables you to leave comfortable yardages into greens. straighter and faster. The downside is that it also adds backspin so you have to get the right balance. This CG position is often found in manufacturers’ cheaper products with less adjustability, although moving weights can help you increase forgiveness too.
