ski,

This is what I ordered.

Men Right Taylor Made r7 Draw Driver 10.5° Regular Graphite Taylor Made Mitsubishi Rayon RE*AX 55g Me and a friend played 9 holes today and believe it or not the course had this driver for a demo so I was able to play with it. I really like it, it took a couple of holes to get used to it. But it played very well. Thanks, Ski

Well it's definitely warm enought to play here, we play twice a week. Usually only 9 holes. I really appreciate the help, I didn't think a simple question would shoot up to three pages but thanks. Next is new irons, but thats for farther in the future. Plus I have to figure out how to sneak this stuff in the house past my wife.

Hopefully you have as good of luck getting them in as you did finding the right ones...

I pretty much went with the exact same club except mine was the TM R7 as well - but not the draw version. Everything else is the same.

Thanks to everyone for all of their feedback. With all the different clubs out there is tough to make an informed decision without the knowledge of all you out there..

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
