Autopilot A14 (Left, Graphite Shaft with Stainless Steel Clubhead, Regular, 14.5)
Brand: Autopilot
Length: 42.75" - With a shorter shaft length, you can catch the sweet spot more often
Most drivers are too long for recreational golfers. It’s a widely held belief that a longer shaft equals longer drives due to increased clubhead speed. And that’s true - IF you hit the sweet spot. And you know that off- center strikes hurt your accuracy, too. Our engineers tackled this double- whammy with the simplest solution possible - they equipped the Autopilot Driver with a shorter shaft. Aside from the consistency and accuracy benefits, the shorter shaft feels much more comfortable at address.
Loft: 14.5° - Unless you swing faster than 100 MPH, you need a driver with extra loft
Every avid golfer knows more loft generates more height. Yet most of us play a driver with 10.5°; loft, tops. Unless you swing at 100- plus MPH, that’s simply not enough. The Autopilot’s 14.5°; loft ensures a higher launch off the tee. The added loft has a secondary benefit, too: It gives you an extra split- second to square the clubface and make better contact with the ball.
Lie Angle: 60°- The Autopilot’s more upright lie effectively lengthens the impact zone
A brief tutorial: The longer the shaft and the more horizontal the lie angle, the farther from the ball you have to stand. This effectively flattens your swing plane, meaning the clubhead spends minimal time traveling directly down the target line approaching impact. Traditional drivers demand lots of rotation through the hitting zone, which requires exquisite timing. And if your ball position is off by just a hair, you can forget about hitting it straight. The A14 pairs a shorter shaft with a more vertical (upright) lie angle than most drivers. This moves you closer to the ball and raises your swing plane, so the club moves directly down the target line for a longer stretch.
ANTI-ROTATION DESIGN MAKES STRIKING THE BALL SQUARE ALMOST AUTOMATIC: The A14’s length, loft and lie angle make it easier for you to square the clubface at impact, meaning truer drives and shorter second shots; See the product description below for more on these specs and why they the difference maker in the accuracy and consistency of your tee shots
MORE FORGIVING ON MISS-HITS: Compared to a traditional round or pear-shaped driver where the weight of the clubhead is distributed evenly around the club’s perimeter, the A14’s weight is concentrated in its corners; The farther weight is positioned from the club’s center of gravity, the higher its Moment of Inertia, and the higher its MOI, the more stable and less twist-prone it is at impact; With the A14, you stay square through the impact zone longer and strike the ball square
TRACKMAN TEST PITS TRADITIONAL DRIVER AGAINST A14: The results, with the A14, 7 out of 8 test golfers hit their longest drive of the day, had their best carry, posted higher average launch angle, improved their clubface angle at impact, and struck the ball more consistently on the center of the clubface; The A14 is straight,long, easy to hit, confidence-boosting, and consistent
