A driver that is too short or too long for a player makes if very difficult to return the club to square at impact, which affects solidness of contact, distance and direction. Most Ti drivers today are 45-46" in length, yet many golfers struggle to even hit fairway woods off the tee. Shortening a driver to provide more control to the golfer influences the weight of the club. The No. 2 fitting factor is WEIGHT. The overall weight dictates the timing and tempo of a golfer’s swing.

There are two weight factors that affect how fast a player can swing as well as when he or she releases the club before impact. A club that is overall too light or too heavy makes it difficult to consistently return the clubhead to square at impact. Nearly all modern Ti drivers feature shafts below 70g. Heavier shafts can help those with a quick tempo and/or a higher clubhead speed. The other weight parameter is swingweight, or the relationship of headweight to the overall weight of the club. Swingweight influences when the golfer will release the club on the downswing. This is important from a directional standpoint. The No. 3 fitting factor for drivers is CENTER OF GRAVITY. Driver heads are often selected because of certain weight distribution attributes that can minimize swing issues. For example, some driver heads have weight positioned in the heel area to correct for a fade or a slice. But these same heads would compound the problem for a golfer who pulls the ball. By altering the center of gravity of the club, ball flight can be customized to the players benefit. Altering the weight distribution is primarily used to fine-tune performance.
