SLDR Driver
-----------
When we developed SLDR, our easiest-to-adjust driver ever, we
didn't expect it to change the rules of distance. Yet it did.
Maximum yardage comes from combining high launch, low spin and
fast ball speed. SLDR’s low-and-forward CG promotes fast ball
speed and low spin. To add high launch, you are now able to
increase your loft.

Low Forward CG + More Loft = More Distance
------------------------------------------
SLDR’s CG location is both low and forward, due in large part to
the large, 20-gram sliding weight on the sole. That promotes a
dramatic leap in distance. Moving the CG forward in a driver is a
monumental shift in metalwood thinking. For years it’s been
accepted that low and back was the ideal CG location for a
driver. We’ve found this is not the best way to generate the most
distance. Long distance comes from combining of fast ball speed,
high launch-angle and low spin-rate. We’ve discovered that moving
the CG forward promotes more ball speed and less spin. To launch
the ball on a high enough angle to maximize distance, we’ve
discovered that most golfers benefit from increasing their loft,
some by as much two or three degrees.
Sliding Weight
--------------
In addition to the low-forward CG benefits, the SLDR weight also
represents a complete reinvention of movable weight, making it
more effective and easier to use. Movable weight shifts the
clubhead’s CG horizontally toward either the heel, to promote a
draw, or toward the toe, to promote a fade. SLDR’s sliding weight
allows you to shift the CG far enough to promote a side-to-side
trajectory change of up to 30 yards. The SLDR weight slides on
the track and never comes loose from the clubhead. To slide the
weight to any of the 21 positions on the track, simply loosen the
screw, slide the weight, then tighten the screw. It takes as
little as ten seconds. And the sole is marked with the words
“fade” at the toe-end of the track and “draw” at the heel-end of
the track to make it clear where you should position the weight
to promote the -shape you want
Adjustable Loft Sleeve Technology
---------------------------------
SLDR also incorporates our Loft-sleeve Technology, which allows
you to adjust the loft. You can choose from 12 positions within a
range of plus-or-minus 1.5 degrees of loft change. SLDR is
available in three lofts – 9.5°, 10.5° and HL.
Aesthetics
----------
SLDR’s confluence of shape, color and visual accents make it one
of the most visually compelling clubs we’ve ever created. Its
striking modern-classic shape, charcoal-gray crown and chrome
“button-back” all adds up to a remarkably beautiful appearance at
address. And the clean design of SLDR’s movable weight mechanism,
including the single, blue weight and the track it slides in
makes its appearance equally striking.
