suggestion: go to a store and hit lots of different drivers, buy the one you like.

In all honesty, every driver from every major club manufacturer is a perfect fit for somebody, and most good golfers can probably play most clubs.

Without knowing alot more about you as a golfer (swing speed, distance, swing tendency) as well as the reason for you to consider replacing your current driver (slice, fade, hook, ball flight, etc.) all you are going to get is what driver the person either has or drools over.

So with that in mind, I really like the new Nike Convert and the new Ping G25.  In addition to that, I have read that Titleist's 913's get rave reviews, Taylor Made's RBZ is supposed to be rocketballz'ier.

In the end, every driver has a COR of .83 and is made of titanium and graphite.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I have an older Cobra S2, really like it but I'm looking at the Nike Convert. I hit the s&!t out of my friends new Convert at the range. Really like the look at set up, gives you a feeling of confidence, easy the hit and the ball jumps off the face. I don't believe the hype but it is a nice driver, give it a try.

Not trying to bash the club or anything, but I've read about a number of quality control issues regarding the Covert. If your interested in the club, I'd say do a little research regarding it.

That said, I'm in the market for a new driver as well, I like my 9064ls a great deal...just kind of looking for something new, preferably with a lower launch. At the top of my list, is the Cleveland Classic Custom XL, Adams Super LS, and Cally Razr Fit Xtreme.

Funny that you mentioned a Superfast burner driver because I bought one, played it once then got rid of it because it was too light for me. I picked up the Taylormade RocketBallz adjustable driver last week for $149 and love it. It's a little heavier than the Superfast so I think that's why I can hit with this one.

    • Day 112 - Worked on pitching for a bit, letting the club fall while turning my body. 
    • Just want to share a quick update with everyone. I went to the range the week before last, even though I took it easy no significant pain occurred just a slight twinge when I swung my #4 hybrid. The most encouraging news was no soreness the next morning. However I think switching back to graphite shafts is definitely gonna happen, my mp15's were fitted with X shafts and having something lighter will help.  
    • Day 289: mirror work today. Working on the same downswing hip stuff.
