Now on to your driver

A great driver for a beginner is the Acer XP 905. It has a 460 cc head for a maximum sweet spot. Click here to go to the Acer XP 905 description.

Step 1 - Select Clubs
Choose the 12 degree loft if you are an average male. You might want to consider a 3 wood as your driving club if you are a slower swinger.

Step 2 - Grip and Size
You can enter the same grip and grip size specifications from your irons selection.

Step 3 - Shaft and Flex
You want to select a graphite shaft for your driver because it's your distance club and you want your swing speed as fast as possible. You probably can use the same shaft on your fairway woods for the same reason. The default PHG 100 shaft is an excellent choice. It offers a GigaGolf eFit screen shot 5lower bend point in the A and the L flex shafts. A lower bend point is good for slow swingers because it helps get the ball up in the air a little easier.

The shaft flex selection will be the same as your irons. If you want to go through the eFit help system to make sure, click on the eFit button above the selection to enter your driver carry distance. Once again for an average male your carry distance would be between 180 and 220 yards which indicates an R flex. Strong ladies and seniors are between 140 and 180 yards and need an A flex. Ladies and juniors are between 100 and 140 yards and need an L flex.

Step 4 - Length
Enter the same height and wrist to floor as you measured for your irons. There is no lie adjustment for woods.

Once again you may want to consider shortening the shaft .5 inches from what the eFit recommends to help make accurate contact a little easier.

Step 5 - Review
This step allows you to review all your fitting specifications.
