    Callaway Heavenwood 1H

    I have a problem with hitting my driver as I tend to slice big time. I have no problems with my irons including the long irons. I don't know why. Do you suggest I use a hybrid wood such as the Callaway Heavenwood 1H in place of my driver? How far would this hybrid go? I can hit my 3 iron 215 yards.

    Obviously there is a shaft issue with your driver. What is the shaft flex in your driver. In your irons? This is a common problem for people who use too stiff of ashaft in their driver. You can check with a local club maker to get a swing analysis done to tell you exactly what flex you require.

      I am using steel shafted irons and the driver is a mid-firm flex shaft. I have been able to hit it straight once in a blue moon but never consistently.

        Sheesh, you need to get a driver sorted out. If you swat the 3 iron 215 then the driver could be a great weapon for you.

        What make is the driver and what shaft is it, manufacturer wise? If you have a problem with the slice you might need a lighter shaft.

          Sounds like the shaft is the problem to me- I had a similar problem with my 3 wood that had a stiff shaft and it just would not go straight at the least. Replaced the shaft to what I was using in my other woods, problem solved.

            I have 2 drivers and have slicing problems with both. Callaway VFT Hawkeye with stiff shaft - slices like mad!

            Dunlop Flame with mid-firm flex also slices like mad.

            Strangely I have no problems with steel shafted irons. Why would I have problems with graphite shafted drivers?

              Sheesh, see if you can get a shot of a steel shafted driver. Dont worry about distance, thats just Graphite shaft manufacturers hype, steel can go every bit as far. Try for a superlight steel shaft one that weighs around the 105-115 gram mark (True Temper Tx-Tour for example). You may find that the steel shaft is the better option for you.


              I am surprised that the VFT is causing you problems. If anything Callaways shafts are on the lighter and whippier side compared to a lot of others. You could always get a Steel shaft thrown into the Callaway. You should be able to get one fitted for less than 50 bucks.

                Thanks for all the feedback. I'll go to try some light steel shafted drivers this weekend.

                  Check out Callaway's Memphis 10 uniflex steel shaft. I have one on a Steelhead driveer and it is real nice.
