Looking for a new driver. I currently have a no name 15 year old driver. Just a little about myself, 52, moderate swing speed and a handicap of 20.

The Tour Edge seems like a great driver for a great price. I have seen many reviews and it is comparable to top brands in distance, spin etc. 

Not sure I am being swayed by the low price of the PXG. Seems to good to be true. I have seen the reviews. Seems good. 
 

Anyone swing these and can give me reviews. Only three dealers for Tour Edge here and PXG it seems you must buy and take a blind swing at liking it. 
 

thank you

I have the PXG 0211 driver and I think it’s great. Definitely a fairway finder for me. PXG does have a return policy but I think they charge a “restock” fee. I believe @Vinskuses one as well.

Which shaft did you end up going with?

I got the Evenflow Riptide CB 50g.

I don't have direct experience with either driver but I did read yesterday that the Tour Edge is in heavy use on the PGA Champions tour even among players not signed to Tour Edge. I took that as a pretty strong endorsement of it.

I bought the Wilson Launchpad Driver a few weeks ago it's not terribly expensive , I'm a higher handicap than you but I've liked it so far. It gets the ball in play for me at over 200 yards and I've even used it off the deck a few times from a good lie with success.

I noticed that. Never realized it until I started researching it. Went and hit it today. Good driver. Good feel, forgiving and I like the look and sound. 
going back in a day or two to try out the TS1 and 2, sim2 max and epic max. They seem better for slow swing speed players like me from my research.

You may want to try the Ping G425 too, I am a new player and I don't have a very high swing speed. I got the G425 5 wood last Saturday and I was very impressed. I made several shots over 200 yards with it which is great distance for me. They had a lot of shaft options including light weights and flexes.

I can only imagine the driver is of similar quality with a lot of options.

I bought the 5 wood new but I have bought a bunch of my other clubs noted as 'used' from Second Swing golf and can tell you the ones that had a 9.0 rating still had plastic and had never been used.

I hate to muddy the waters, but you may also want to consider the Cobra Speed Zone? It's uber inexpensive, and still available brand new in a lot of places. Great driver. I have the Rad Speed today, but I don't think you are likely to be able to tell the difference between the two... except for the price. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Cobra was in my sites. Even the newer ones. It all came to funnel today. About to post what I ended up going with.

    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
    • Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.  
    • Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot. 
    • I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
