Good info. On the fit Driver head vs fut shaft feedback. For the head fit, are you typically more concerned with the type of head (Low Spin, High MOI, etc) and loft vs the actual manufacturer? Meaning if I know that I can okay the Quantum Max 10.5 head, would the equivalent for another brand like Ping 440 Max with the same loft would probably be fine?
I slice the driver. Should I get a standard 10 degree or get a 9 and loft it to a 10 degree to close the face.
