I really get a kick out of the word of mouth that has spread about the square shaped drivers being able to square the club face better than conventional, round shaped drivers. You see, it’s all about fitting in this case and in actuality, in most cases. Of course, if the square driver has a shaft and other specifications that fits your swing better (launch angle and spin rate of the ball), then it will definitely play better for you and I see no reason not to go this way. However, realize that there are no proven advantages that relate to improving your game from switching to square from conventional. If you’re the type of golfer that gets a big mental uplift to play better from trying something different, the latest to hit the market or because of all the hype that surrounds it, then I would give a square driver a try and probably play with it. However, if you are looking to improve your driving distance and/or direction by changing from say a 460cc round shape (conventional) to the 460cc square shape you’re wasting your time. They all play very well if designed by the major golf club manufacturers. There is nothing wrong with the square shaped drivers other than the clunky looks (my opinion regarding the looks). I find the face balanced putter works well with this approach. I hold my putter very lightly, have an extra long shaft so I’m standing with just a slight bend at the waist, and then use shoulder movement to swing the putter in a pendulum motion. I’m thinking of going with a larger headed mallet, but I definitely want to stick with a face balanced model.
Ralph, what are your thoughts on the new square shaped Calloway and Nike drivers? Does the design promote more square delivery at impact? Also, I’ve been using a small mallet face balanced putter you developed a few years ago with a polymer insert and bended shaft.
