    Do any of you have your driver set for a draw of fade bias? I'm playing the GT3 at present set neutral but thinking about a little draw.

    Increasing the loft 0.75 degrees will move the face of Titleist wood from slightly open to slightly closed. I’ve only ever reduced a fade by hosel adjustments. Time with a pro to tweak my swing was more effective for hitting a draw.
    This will affect the geometry of the lie and launch conditions. These may not be positive effects. But, yes, I have tried many settings but usually go back to what the fitter specified.

    I play my driver set at B2 (right handed).
    Only reason being as my bubdies say I'm not an "A" player.

    Hmm. As a LH I didn’t even make a B player at D4.

    Been doing it for ages. I set my driver at A3. Dead center.

    I carried a Burner HT Draw driver for 6 years before switching to 910D2. Been using 44" with B3 or A3 since 2020. 44.5" with B3 between 2017-2020. 910D2 2017-2019. 913D2 between 2019-2021. 915D2 since 2021.

    Your path will answer the question best. What is causing your current ball flight, and what it your ultimate goal? It's a combination of a few elements, that's where a good fitter/teacher comes in handy. I naturally draw everything, if I set my Driver/Fairway to draw bias, I'm hitting a hook, as my path is slightly in/out. Figure your consistent path first, then your preferred flight, then play around a little. Seek help, that's the safest route.
  8. Good question. Yes. I am someone who does draw the ball mostly, but fades it when needed. I have played UP in loft, either up 0.75 or up 1.5 depending on spin needs for years. This effectively makes the face slightly closed to the target. I mess around with the weights on occasion, but have had the best success trust the draw more when I know the face is already square, to a hair closed when swinging to the right. If you try this, and you hit a few towards the toe, it may actually help to get the weight towards the toe to help the CG not allow you to lose ball speed, while maintaining the draw. It is always fun trying new things with the driver.
  9. I play my GT4 8 degree head at 9.5 degree (A4 setting) for a more draw bias driver.
  10. I have always played a 8.5 degree titleist 917 D3 driver set to A3. However, you can create a draw or fade bias by turning the club face in our out. With this particular driver, I do not have a hook problem. With my 9 degree TSR2 driver I have a hook problem if I set it on A3. I play this driver on A1.
