    Just toying with the idea of getting a new driver and the local pro uses the flight scope monitor for fitting of same

    Thing i dont like about my driving is 2 fold
    I hit it very high (windy days can be a nightmare):cool:
    And even when i am hitting it good I find I'm very inconsistent in both distance and accuracy.

    Would love a lower ball flight

    Just looking to see has anyone else been fitted for a new driver using this machine and did you notice a big difference afterwards

    Thanks in advance

    Trackman is supposed to be better but the flight scope will still give a great fitting. Saw this add on Adverts.

    I would recommend fitting with a launch monitor alright. If you have an idea about numbers before going in I think it will help.

    Check out this channel for some good info (its not flightscope but numbers are the same really):

    Check here for opinions on ideal launch conditions:

    Be careful what you wish for re launch angle. The holy grail (they say) is high launch low spin. But high is obviously all relative. High as in ballooning suggests spin is high which will could from technique as much if not more than club.

    You really want a positive angle of attack on driver to reduce spin (other factor are important too).

    So figures to educate yourself on and look for in fitting:
    Angle of attack
    Spin rate
    Launch angle
    Angle of descent
    Ball speed
