My father in law needs a new driver bad. My wife and I are planning on getting him a $60 gift card for his bday to Roger Dunn Golf Shop down here in SoCal so he can picked up a good used one.

For around $60, what is a good driver that he and I should be on the look out for when we go to redeem the card.

Thanks.

last week when i was surfing online,i found a golfwholesale shop.all golf equipment are sold by wholesale price.they are not fake,just originnal OEM.Guarantee the quality of their products,if you find it fake,you can demand to refund anytime!

To the OP, unless you don't mind fake stuff, don't buy from here. I just checked out the website and everything is way too good to be true. $150 Camerons, $300 for new AP2s, $170 for an FT-9. I did a little search and it turns out it ships directly from China and that others have had problems with the fakeness of the clubs.

But, for $60 I'm sure you can get some good used equipment. I would look at some brands that don't get much recognition: Nickent, Adams, etc. Also, try some TaylorMade stuff. Since they release a driver every few months, a driver from 2 years ago is crazy cheap.

You can find Taylormade R5's, R580's, and older R7's for around that price.

Also, When they dont carry anything LH its a good sign its fake stuff. I dont think there is much of a market in fake LH gear. just not enough LH golfers I bet.

My dad is a terrible golfer, and he still manages to hit his G10 straight with senior flex shaft. Really, it's actually HARD to slice that thing. How good of a player is your father in law, though?

Well, really, it depends on your swing. I mean, some people have a swing thats prone to slice the ball because they cut across it. Even if your Dad is bad, he still may not have that exact swing flaw that causes a big slice.

But, with that said, a Ping G10 is a really nice club. I hit mine pretty straight.

Check out www.rockbottomgolf.com They have the Mizuno's MX-560 driver for either $79. When I was searching not long ago, this was one that was highly recommended.

He ended up picking a King Cobra driver for $50. I don't remember the model, but we played a round that afternoon and he loved it. Thanks for all the suggestions.

If you can find one the King Cobra Comp 454 is really nice. Ultra forgiving and if you want to, workable.

Actually, I think that might be what he got. It played great for him and really straightened out his drive.

    • 47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭
    • Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.  
    • Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.

    • I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
