A key reason I would consider Stealth is the front moveable weight giving a distinctive forward centre of gravity, low spin profile. My experience is I tend to hit the sweet spot more often than not (as confirmed by a recent fitting), so forgiveness is not a significant selling point for me - However, low spin/ball flight is...
I've hit my SIM2 very well since I started with it last spring, but similarly to previous testings of TM's more 'forgiving' options of SIM2 Max, SIM, M6, M4, etc. the forgiveness is nice, but spin and higher ball flight tends to rob me of distance. I have to say, my Fairways Hit % has been my best ever w/SIM2 as an aside.
My question is, would reducing weight on the back end of the SIM2, while reducing forgiveness, decrease spin and lower my ball flight??
I purchased an aftermarket 8g weight vs. the 'stock' 16g, and went to my local Golftown to get them to switch it out (You need a L20 torque wrench to loosen the stock weight, and they had one with a proper handle that despite the 'blue lock tight' screw, the stock weight was removed w/ease).
I won't be able to test out until the People's Republic of Ontario comes out of our latest lockdown the week of Jan. 31, but I assume this change should assist and have the desired effect? Anyone else try this??
Thanks,
