Also check out the Nickent drivers. There inexpensive and perform awesome in my opinion.


Which model of Nickent do you have? I have a Hyperforged from ~ 2004. The head is okay I suppose, but the shaft is complete garbage.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Well, what's your driver, what shaft is in it, and why do you need an upgrade?

The Dymo Squared is a great driver -- it's in my bag.  I assume the non-square is good too.  And you can probably get either inexpensively - I think I saw it at Dick's for $99.  A golf-specific shop might have it cheaper (don't tell Rocco).

I ask about the shaft because you might prefer to swap out for a lighter shaft - Mitsubishi makes some really light ones - and that might help with distance. (Edit:  I wrote "cheap shaft" at first instead.  No idea why)

I also ask because, with a swing speed of 65-75, you might contemplate amateur flex instead of regular.

Finally, you might benefit from some of the exercise threads on this board to increase your swing speed.

Thanks everyone, i wound up getting the Callaway FTiQ with a lite flex 60 gram Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki shaft (thanks shindig), i choose this over the Nike because it has the same square head, and i hit it slightly farther, also, it was a little cheaper, so i decided to buy this club.
