    My experience in fitting Golf Driver for Asian Golfer, 194 grams Head Weight, are most suitable for their strength. So normally I have to find the way to reduce 10 grams of weight for Taylormade SIM, Ping G425 etc in which have 204-205 grams std Head weight.

    So I just ordered the Sim 2 but made an error when purchasing by getting the 9.0 instead of the 10.5 that I wanted. Instead of going through the hassle of sending it back can’t I just adjust the loft higher to effectively make it a 10.5? Or does it not work that way?

    I’d say stand a little farther back and tee the ball down more. You’re hitting the toe is probably because you’re to close to the ball. And hitting high because the tee is high. If those don’t apply, keep your eye on the ball lol. Hope this help and good luck!

    Try not to change your driver setting right away. Only do it when you hit the ball at the centre consistently and not very satisfied with the flight. Besides what Brandon says, when you hit it high it also could be due to you hitting it too deeply on the way down, try to feel like sweeping up instead of chopping down.

  • @paulmarsh8974

    Adding my two cents worth.... you could be leaning a bit forward (more towards your toes) That create you to hit the ball more towards the heel of the clubhead.. Try standing a bit more upright and find a comfortable balance on your feet.. The tee height is different for various people.. After you take a drive, check the face of your driver and it'll have an imprint of where you're hitting the ball.. If it constantly shows towards the top of the face then lower the height of tee... or vise versa... ie. Change from an orange tee to a purple tee. The markings will come off the face of the driver with a rub.. Hope that helps..

    If you’re hitting the toe, you’re standing too far from the ball. Try setting up with the ball right in the center of the club face at address, from there see where you hit on the face. If you hit toe, set up closer (ball on heel) if you hit heel, set up further (ball towards toe)
