Well this weekend I was playing a round of golf and I hit a bad tee shot and I hit my driver on the ground like I have a million times and I hit a rock or something and cracked my driver. I was hitting my Callaway Ft-5 which now has a crack in it. So now I am looking for a new driver. I liked my Callaway but I am just looking to get another one to use and try just in case the Callaway doesnt hit as well anyone I can have a back up. I have hit the Ping G10 which I didnt like, Nike 5900 I liked it but didnt get the distance I would like, I have it Cleveland and I dont like it, Hit a titlesist D1 and didnt like it. Needless to say I have tried a lot of drivers. I was just wondering if anyone had any others they liked or have tried. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Ping ratpure. Any opinoins would be great.

As mentioned earlier try calling Callaway, they have AMAZING customer service and I wouldn't be surprised if they help you out.

I will also second you trying a Tour Burner. I also suggest you take a look at the Tour Edge offerings in their Exotics line, great products!

Try the Cobra L4V. Very forgiving and very long.

I hit the L4V regular shaft and was very impressed. High launch angle and long. I'm thinking...

Call Calloway first and see what they can do.

I would give the 5900 a shot again.

Its the most forgiving club I've ever used and is still very workable and you might have better results with a lower lofted head or a different shaft in it.

At the end of the day 250 + 250 + 250 is a lot more than 275 + 200 + the woods.

IMO, not that much difference between driver heads, but huge difference between shafts. My suggestion would be find a head you like, then match it with a shaft that fits your swing speed and type of swing, i.e. swinger or hitter. And if you really wanted to do it right; get on a launch monitor with a KNOWLEDGABLE tech, (you'd be amazed at how many out there are clueless). That will tell you your ball rpm which translates to loft of driver, most people are 10-10.5*. There should be different shafts and flexs to try also. Point of interest here, every company out there has a different flex for their shafts. That is to say that a regular or stiff V2 shaft is not the same as a Grafalloy Platinum reg or stiff shaft, as an example. It doesn't hurt to get the shafts spined either and if you buy from Golfsmith for 10 or 12 extra bux they will sst/pure the shaft.

The new Titleist drivers look very nice, though they'll be expensive. I've got a Cobra Speed LD or something with a stiff shaft. Very nice club, I really like the big clubheads, lots of forgiveness and easy to hit, still going far.

I have to agree with Blades4me about the shaft. On a driver, the shaft is very important. It's ofcourse important on every club, I think the clubhead matters more on irons.

Why are you hitting the club into the ground by the way?
