    Need a High C.O.R. non-conforming driver

    A golf buddy of mine is getting up there in age and can't hit the ball like he used to. He wants to get himself a non conforming driver to get a few extra yards. I know that for every .01 C.O.R increase or decrease at 100MPH the distance gained or lost is 4.2yards. Obviously he doesn't swing at 100mph so i'm sure the difference is much much less.

    1) Does anyone know how much less? I wouldn't be able to accurately guess his swing speed but i'll take a shot anyway (60mph with his driver?)

    2) can anyone recommend some good illegal heads ? It will be paired with a senior or L flex shaft. I know there are some of you out there who think this is cheating but he doesn't care (neither do I). I saw that chief has an integra soolong that is only 175g, that is pretty light. with a light grip and light shaft we could build it an inch longer and it would still be lighter than most drivers (and legal).. that should get some yards

    Wishon 730CL 420 cc 16* loft. Not sure what the COR is but it is designed for swingspeeds below 80 mph.

    My 8 yr. old uses this head with a Maltby L Tech "LL" flex at 36.125'' long.

    His swingspeed is 67 mph and he can nail it on average about 152 yrd, carry and roll.

    Believe me your friend will get much better distance with a higher loft driver than with one with an illegal COR one . To benefit from a higher COR driver you got to be able to hurt the ball

    I still have my Adams Speedline Fast 10, 10.5* driver for sale.
    It would work for him I am sure.
    Let me know.
    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    i suggested a 14* degree driver for him, he said he would pass. I told him he doesn't swing fast enough to get any advantage from higher COR.. he is set in his ways

    will pass on the adams unless its a COR is higher than .83

    The 730 cl does not have a loft # on the head. Tell him it's 12*
