Bill Haas, a Greenville S.C. Boy who plays for riverside high school!

Hi Sam, I'm exactly like you. But I'm going to ask a question and if you can answer me, it would be great! I have a Diamana 'ilima shaft concern and I hope you know the answer or where I might get the correct answer. Here it is: The ball flight I picked with my 910D2 driver was setting A3 for a high draw which is not very effective with a tail wind, but we here in Greenville, SC don't get a lot of wind. However when I tried it, I lost about 15 to 20 yds. vs a high fade setting B4? My question is simple, is it possible that my 'ilima needs to be spline aligned for the high draw ball flight? It doesn't make sense to me, I should've gained yardage with the draw. Help...If you can!

Most South Carolina courses are tree lined. This causes the wind to come down on the fairway rather than a parrallel stream. So a draw which has spin that tends to fly lower and hit the ground sooner would actually loose yardage with the wind pushing down on it. I fade, which is usualy higher, would give you more carry and more distance. On the topic of the shaft, the shaft is only directly related to the ball flight and not the shot shape. so the shaft is ok. Hpoe this helps.
