I spent a considerable amount of time today testing the latest and greatest from Taylor Made as well as Titleist, Cobra and Ping and I'm nowhere near close to making a decision. I'm not sure if this is the thread to expand on my search for a new driver or if I should start a new one but I have loads of Trackman data that I'm compiling so maybe I'll summarize and share it at some point.

I've been a T.M. guy for a long, long time, going back to the original bubble shaft, but I'm really intrigued by the results I've obtained so far from this year's Titleists, especially the TSR-3. I was sure I was going to choose between just the Stealth 2 and TSR-2. But then, I tried the TSR-3 and was blown away and to complicate matters even further, a very good golfer from my course who I know fairly well (190 mph ball speed) who, coincidentally, was doing the same thing as me in the Trackman bay next to me, was nearly having an orgasm over the new Cobra Aerojet which was never even on my radar, so I tried that, as well. So now I have six, count 'em, 6 heads to deal with, each with two different lofts to consider and God knows how many shafts, so I'm in a dither at the moment. Me being overly analytical when it comes to these kinds of decisions certainly doesn't help matters but as I said in an earlier post, this is kinda fun, although my back is kind of achy after today's activity.

One thing I will say at this point, looking at the numbers I have so far, my current Taylor Made M-3 is in last place by a large margin.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
