Need new driver

[Eore]

so i suck at golf, but am getting better. my adams driver that i got for $100 bucks a year ago broke (long story) and i am looking for a forgiving, not loud or weirdly shaped driver for under $275. i am looking into last years Wilson, Bridgestone, and a taylormade r5. any other suggestions?

my little bro picked up the r7 Draw driver from golfsmith for 200 bucks. it works great for him, hes about a 20 cap, but you should try and demo some at the range before you buy if possible.

thanks, but i don't need a "draw" driver, cuz when i make a good swing, i get a nice little draw. any more suggestions?

[x-forged]

ill make another suggestion! try the R-5, that might work out better for you. but for the draw driver, it wont necessarily cause a bigger draw, it will more likely reduce slicing, which makes it a more forgiving club IMO. hope this helps

Try a Geek Dot com this! or a TourSwing Renegade. Both are very long and can be purchased with a great shaft for around $200.00

I'm known for pushing the Cobra drivers, so I'm going to inject that. I don't think the sound of the *-Speed drivers is all that weird.

Do you like your m-speed 3W? My love for my f-speed 3W helped convince me to get the f-speed driver. Anyway, it's worth a shot. I got my f-speed, right shaft and loft and everything, for $130 last November. I think my handicap was around 28 at the time.

Get fitted for your new driver. I got fit for a new driver last summer. I got on their launch monitor and was shown which driver (and shaft) gave me the best distance and carry for my swing

Good luck

thanks guys, i'm going to try the r5 at the range today, and hit some of the demo clubs they have there, i'll get back to you with my decision

I definatly suggest the Nike Sasquatch Sumo. It doesnt make a loud sound, it sounds sweet. And is not weird shaped. It is slightly forgiving but I have to admit, it does take some time to get used to.

Try it out. You can get it now for I think around $200-220

[Eore]

the sumo is the one club i will never put in my bag ;)

after going to the range, i am going to try the r5 for a while....the next best club i hit was the burner, then the Ping G5......but since we actually own the r5 already, i'm going to give it a shot

haha, what do you find wrong with the Sumo?

Don't support nike and Tiger Woods?

the yellow fungus kind of throws me off a little bit. teehee

Give the Cleveland Hibore or Hibore XL a try, they are going cheap at the moment $99 on rockbottom golf, i got one about 3 months ago and have dropped 6 shots since!!

[r7 425]

I loved the Hibore..At the great prices for new hibore's today--they are well worth it.One other club that I would recommend is the Macgregor MacTec--it is a very underrated club that is pretty forgiving and plenty long..Best of Luck

Try TM Burner - discounted on

I agree, I just got a Burner myself, my buddy works for Adidas, so I got the employee discount...The burner is a great driver.

I tried the Hi-Bore XL, Sumo, Cobra etc......the TM Drivers felt the best.

I respectfully disagree, I thougt the SUMO was loud as hell and felt like a tin can at the same time...I hated it.

I think one of the most underated drivers out there is the Cleveland HiBore. I bought one last year because everything I read said "forgiving" and it is. My distance and accuracy improved as well. Everyone that has tried it loves it and at least one friend went out and bought one based on the few swings he made with mine. Give it a shot, I think you be pleaseantly surprised.
