Swing Science FC-One + Driver

I built this today 6/6/23 to fill out my Swing Science FC-One Plus set. Update 6/10/23 after 27 holes….see below.

14 deg. loft, +.05 face angle, 44.50″ playing length, Moi heft match 2825 kg-cm2 toe down on a Swing Science FC-One Plus 65g gram “A” flex shaft and Swing Science blue Buffed Velvet grip.

Testing to begin and will check back with results. Right now this Swing Science driver matches up well with the Swing Science FC-One Plus set.

Update 6/10/23 after playing the Swing Science FC-One Plus driver 14 deg. loft, 44.50″ playing length on a Swing Science FC-One Plus “A” flex 65g driver shaft for 27 holes this week. My findings are, I am really pounding the SS FC-One Plus driver great loft for my senior swing on a FC-One Plus “A” 65g shaft.  Seniors and those that have that below 90 mph club head speed are missing out on this driver.  I like the sound/feel much better very solid and not tinny.  Solid Plus head and great shaft in the 65g range for seniors that still have some strength physically that don’t match up well with ultra lite driver shafts.  Scott

U.S. Women’s Open Winner Minjee Lee Shaft Weight, Flex and Profile

US Women’s Open winner Minjee Lee’s equipment has some interesting shaft flex’s and weights which the recreational golfer could learn from.

Minjee Lee’s What’s in the Bag-WITB

Driver: Srixon ZX7 (Mitsubishi Diamana DF50-R 45.5″ shaft) 10.5 degrees

3-Wood: Srixon ZXF #3 (Fujikura Ventus Red 6-R 42 7/8″ shaft), 16 degrees

5-Wood: Srixon ZXF #5, (Fujikura Ventus Red 6-R, 42.5″ shaft), 18 degrees

Hybrid: Srixon ZXH #4 (Graphite Design Hyb 85-R 39.5″ shaft)

Irons: Srixon ZX7 (5-P; SteelFiber i80-Stiff shafts)

Wedges: Cleveland RTX ZipCore (50, 54-Mid, 58-low Nippon NS Pro 950 shafts)

Minjee’s metal woods and hybrid ALL have graphite in them in Regular flex and go up in weight from 50 gram in driver to 60 gram in 3 wood, 60 gram in 5 wood and 85 gram in hybrid. Her irons go up in flex to Stiff and are constant weight in 80 gram graphite and her wedges constant weight steel in 95 gram.

As there are no industry standards for flex the shaft profile in these shafts is of primary importance it shows how knowing what shaft weight, flex and shaft profile you fit is so important for good performance if you have some what of a repeatable golf swing. Add to that having well fit clubs with good heft match is a primary fitting factor.

Something to think about.
