Hitting it a mile

                                                                  All season I have been worried about my driving.  I hit a 10.5 degree Callaway FT-5 and whilst I am averaging about 220 yards per drive and the ball is going straight, some of my friends are out-driving me with their 9 degree drivers.  I thought maybe I should look into getting my own 9 or 9.5 degree driver so i tested one at the local golf range.  Made no difference to distance but it did develop a fade in my drives.  Turns out when I come down a few degrees there is less spin on the ball and there is little distance gained.  What is gained is lost in a slice/hook.  I would recommend a 10.5 degree Callaway to anyone.
