It’s important for Derek to accesses as much help from the current technology as possible. Time is not on his side, with two active, sporty sons and a fairly hectic travel schedule.
Derek takes full advantage of the clubhead and shaft design to build his clubs around his bad shots and to cover the weaknesses in his game. This is currently what he has in the bag and why.

Derek’s story is quite common – not enough time in the week to practice and play. A hectic travel schedule sees him on the road quite a lot so getting into a golf routine is tough.
The trick is to use the technology in golf clubhead and shaft design to build the clubs around the bad shots and to cover the weaknesses in his game.
It won’t turn him into a pro golfer, but at least when he does tee it up he can enjoy the time on the golf course.
