I picked this driver up a when I first started hitting a driver as I got better. My worst shot is a big slice off 5he tee and this club really helped to sort it and I hit it fairly straight now. I tried changing to a superfast 2.0 which was awful and now a cobra fly-z which is ok but I'm still getting some slices even on a draw setting, going back to the r5 and its all quite straight again. Should I just stick with the r5? I only play for fun and society, I'm not sure it's a conforming club so would I have issues if I played say a club medal? Am I missing out on new technology by sticking with it? Anyone made the change from this driver to another and been successful?

Thanks for the suggestions, I've heard good things about the the TM's.

Hello, Looking for ball recommendations this time, I know a lot is down to individual preference/fell but though people may want to make some suggestions. I'm a 24 handicap but improving, swing speed is around 80-85mph and currently using Wilson dx2. I like the ball but there seems to be little green side spin. What alternatives or tried and tested balls would people suggest, I was looking at the Wilson urethane, but other suggestions welcome.

I've got a battery booster, it's more inaccuracy, getting it in and out in bad weather etc that bother me.

Hi there,I've been using my phone with swing by swing installed for yardages etc but it tends to hammer the battery and its just a bit of a faff sometimes going in and out of it when the screen shuts down etc.I've been looking at a dedicated device and wondered if people had thoughts on the ones I'm looking at or any other recommendations. I'm not really after a large handheld device or a range finder, the current list is as follows:Bushnell Neo xsBushnell GhostGarmin S2Budget wise I really don't want to go over 150 pounds if possible. It doesn't have to specifically be a watch just not a large handheld. Any thoughts issues with these or any other suggestions?Thanks

Is 43 to 50 still a too big gap really? The 47 is sounding like the better option. Then keep the 52 55 58. The alternative I guess is 43 50 55 60. I know I need to check yardages but just looking for opinions on those options. Cheers

Thanks a lot for the feedback folks. I hit the 52 around 95yds and the 58 around 75yds. The PW is going to be around 120yds for me. I can see how with the GW it would be fairly balanced at least on lofts with my current 52 and 58. I'm definitely going to need something in there though. As it stands I'm carrying 13 clubs. I guess one option is to get the 47 and work with what I have opening up the face etc. Obviously yardage gaps are key rather than the lofts themselves.

Hello all, Had a recent change of irons, my last set stopped at a 44degree PW so I had a 52 and 58 degree pair of Cleveland 588's in the bag. My new set has a 43 degree PW and also a 55 degree SW. Do my current additional wedges work or would I be better to change the gaps maybe a 50 degree. The set does have a GW option which is 47 degrees. Thanks

When I first started out years ago I didn't play a driver or woods, I just had a driving iron but I was confident with it and played well. Thing is I can hit the driver and my 4 wood now so it's just trying to find something that really suits. Thanks for your comments, I think I'll pop to the golf shop and just hold a few and see how they look at address o give me an idea then I can look at what in the used market is of a similar type

Looks like I'm going to be trying out an awful lot of clubs, thanks for the advice

Think 's for all the replies. Lots of options so far. Looking at the club test the 588 did pretty well. No surprise to see Adams on top but the Nike Covert ranking pretty high too. What I have found is a lot of hybrids with stiff shafts but pretty sure a regular would be better for me.

This what I mean, the speed line range, straight away there is the s, the ls and the xtd. Is there a way to find out the differences between them?

Does it exist? I'm looking for a hybrid to go between my 17 degree 4 wood and 25 degree 5 iron. A club between 20 and 22 degrees would seem appropriate but what's out there, preferably used, that gets the ball up well, can hit from the rough and the fairway and offers good forgiveness. I've heard good things about Adams Idea Pro but there's so many models, also good things about cobra bafflers but again lots of models, any specifics people can help me with? Thanks for your time

Thanks for all the replies, in the end I picked up a used cobra biocell. It will allow me to use a 12 degree setting but adjust if I need to as I improve and it got a lot of good reviews for forgiveness too. Picked it up barely used with head cover and tool for half retail so I'm a happy chappy.

Nice, I have an R5 Dual but it's 10.5 degrees and seems quite low in terms of ball flight. I would say I hit it around 175 total distance.
