Okay, here's the deal. My birthday is Monday and my dad is buying me any driver and 3 wood I want. I don't know what drivers I should check out. I have my eye on:


2008 Tour Burner Driver
2008 Tour Burner 3 Wood
Ping G10 Driver
Callaway FT-5
Callaway Squareway Wood
Titleist 907D2
Titleist 906F4



Can't think of any others but I'm mostly looking for players club, because my handicap just dropped 1.2 and I need new clubs.

Driver: G10 10.5 Stock Shaft
3 Wood: Taylormade r580XD
Irons: AP2 3-P, Project X 5.5
Wedges: Tour-W 52*, 56* SM, 60* SM
Putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5 34"Ball: ProV1 or ProV1xLow Score:74

It honestly sounds like you've got your bases covered. It would take a full day or 3 to really narrow those down anyway. Don't worry about leaving the store with one that day. Just take your time and get alot of data on how each performs for you. You'll be glad you did, as a properly fit Driver and 3 wood will make your game even more solid than it already is.

Honestly Ive hit everything on that list and I found the tour burners to be my favorites....but they cost alot. If they are free id go for it but your dad is gonna be droppin close to 500$ for both. Great clubs tho very forgiving/solid the driver is the best ive hit (im waiting for the new titleist 909 drivers myself.)

In My Bag:

Driver - Tour Burner TP w/ Diamana Whiteboard 65g Stiff
3 Wood - Sumo 2 13* Stiff
5 Wood - HiBore 19* Gold StiffIrons - Tour Burner Irons 4-Aw StiffWedge - CG12 56, X-Forged 64Putters - Seemore FGP

I would not go with the 907d2, new model on the way and this wood is not that impressive. I owned two different ones and sold both.

Titleist 983E 9.5 Accra 65 Stiff Shaft
Titleist 906f2 15 Bassara Stiff
TM Burner Rescue 19
Titleist AP2 4-PW
Titleist Vokey 52, 56 Ping Craze g2i

I'd be leaning toward the Titleist clubs......but I don't see how you can go wrong with any of the top clubs.

Make sure you really evaluate your shaft options carefully....as that's the engine behind any stick....especially at your level (I'm guessing high swing speed).

Good luck.....thank your father with some stellar play. That's an awesome gift.

You also forgot the Mizuno MP-600. For me it performed the best. Tight dispersion, accurate, and long.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
