New Fitted Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Fusion FT-3, 10º, Draw weight Bias, GBB System 60 graphite shaft, firm flex
Fitter: Randy Peterson, Callaway Manager of R&D Fitting Development "Dave comes at the ball too steeply, hitting it too high on an open face, which is a typical slice move. half the fitting process is making the player aware of the major flaws. I wanted Dave to feel comfortable hitting the ball to the left. So the draw-bias Fusion was perfect."
Know your limits
Dave's old 8.5º Pro Series GBB II driver only enhanced his slice. The club is designed with 1º open face for better players who fight the left side of the fairway. And in general, the higher the loft the more the driver will draw.
