What they walked out with

• Make: Titleist
• Model: GT2
• Loft: 8°
• Shaft: ACCRA Tour Z RPG Gold M5+

• Strike location (even a few millimeters) often has a larger impact on spin than the shaft profile.
• Adjusting swing weight by as little as 6 grams can significantly help a player find the center of the face.
• For high-speed players (115+ mph club speed), lowering loft is often necessary to prevent ballooning flight, even if they launch it high.
• Shaft 'feel' is subjective; Riley preferred the ACCRA's stability over the Tensei 1K Black's 'dense' feel.
