Your driver sets the tone for your round. Hit it well, and you’re in position to score. Struggle with it, and every hole feels like damage control. The good news? A driver fitting can add 10–20 metres to your tee shots almost instantly. What we see at PGA Tour events has conclusively proven now that being near to the hole off the tee improves your chances of lowering your score. The statistics published by companies like Circle and Upgame now back up what many have been saying for some time.
1. Why Stock Drivers Don’t Work for Everyone
Most drivers are built for the “average golfer.” The problem? Nobody is average. Who is this average golfer? Swing speed, angle of attack, and tempo vary wildly — and so should your driver specs. This is where we integrate tools like Sportsbox AI and Cool Clubs proprietary S3 shaft fitting software to help dial in your individual needs.
2. The Role of Shaft Flex, Bend Profile & Weight
- Too stiff? You’ll lose distance and struggle with launch.
- Too soft? You’ll lose control and balloon shots.
Finding the right shaft flex, bend profile, torque and weight transforms consistency, this is where our unique approach to fitting you for the perfect driver comes into play. Our proprietary technology takes away the guesswork, we measure your movement using Sportsbox AI and take a close look at shaft suitability based on your load index and ball flight requirements. All this means the most detailed approach to club fitting in the industry.
3. Loft: The Secret to More Distance
Many golfers play with too little loft, thinking “lower is better.” and the ball will go further. In reality, the right loft relative to attack angle optimises launch and spin for maximum carry and total distance. It’s a combination of many factors that will allow you to consistently carry the ball the correct distance relative to your club head speed; loft, club head center of gravity and weight positions are just the start of the story.
Your driver should be your most powerful weapon, not your biggest frustration.
