  1. Mark crossfield. I have sldr driver. My wife wants one. She uses men’s
    clubs cause she is taller that average girl. And she thinks she needs mens
    club for everything. I dissagree.
    What is difference between mens sldr, and womens? She is 20+ handicap. 

  2. I have the new white slider and I love it except for the shaft it came
    with. I had my shaft from my R11 retipped and that works a little better. I
    also have the 3 wood and 4 rescue and same problem. Where can I try some
    differant shafts that might work for me. I live in Steilacoom WA Zip 98388
    I have a 7.2 index handicap. 

  5. I found the SLDR to feel harsh with both S and R stock shafts. The Jet
    Speed feels nice in both stock shafts, but is a bit light for my taste. I
    use PX 6.0 in my Callaway. In any case, lofting up did not provide any
    benefit for me. Both went about the same distance as my Callaway and
    dispersion was worse with TM. They are fine drivers, just not for me.

  6. There are huge differences in shafts, Mark hasn’t mention torque or flex
    point, both BIG factors in ballflight. Yes, more torque and a softer shaft
    is easier to draw. Steel torque in a graphite driver shaft is easier to
    fade. One closes the face more easily. GET FITTED THE SHAFT MATTERS!

  9. Mark, PLEASE answer this question. I totally agree with everything you say
    however surely the spin access in conjunction with the backspin will have
    an effect? For example a shot with 2000rpm vs a shot with 2500rpm due to
    shafts may make the ball draw more if that is the desired shot shape?

  10. I found getting the right shaft is crucial for this club. The stock shaft
    didn’t do anything for me with this club. I saw no improvement at all over
    my g25 that I’m playing now. However when we switched it out for the
    lighter Matrix shaft that’s stock in the Jet Speed, the club really came
    alive for me. I gained 4 more MPH and 10-15 yards 

  12. With the sldr you have a high flight with less spin what is great but when
    you have the win in your face your flight is still high and the win will
    make the ball spin more.so for me I prefer a boring ball flight who fitt
    for any condition ;0)

  16. An important aspect to remember is that each company has a different
    definition of each flex, and the variance between them. Depending on how
    tight the factory tolerance, a stiff shaft can vary widely. There is no set
    industry standard for shaft flex. It could be your were hitting clubs that
    were closer toward the X flex. But as Mark said, it comes back to feel.

  22. Mark did they provide you an after market shaft? The shaft weights for the
    SLDR 460 head are 57 for normal and 77 for the TP. The 430 head comes
    standard with a 65 gram shaft and a 77 gram tp. Or I’m wondering if there
    are different specs for the UK version than here in America.
