It depends on how you want to play. I play a lot of hilly courses and courses that contain anywhere between three and six holes where the tee box is above the green and fairway. Therefore, I'm more interested in flight than run and the perfect ball for me is the DT Carry. It does not run much and is perfect off the irons: nice and high with a soft landing. It's also not a high spinning ball so I get good distance. The lower spin gives me ideal launch angles and spin rate. For me, the my top 5 balls are: 1) DT Carry 2) Hogan Hawk-A tremendous ball, too. 3) Precept Laddie Extreme 4) DT Solo 5) Bridgestone E5 If you're willing to do some shopping, I suggest Ebay and rockbottomgolf. You can get all these balls, near new condition, for the fraction of the price. If you ever want to play a round of golf, let me know.

hi thanks - I have been toying with trying the e-5 - i like balls with lower driver spin but some bite for the greens but I like to allow the ball to release to the hole- at my level i rarely suck them back. so maybe I will try the e5
i would love to play a round of golf with ya some time - can i take the train from manhattan up there?

Absolutely. Additionally, we could play SR or Pelham. Both were in good shape when I was there, last week.

I'm in know way a single handycapper, all it took for me was to just try a titleist 755, I had no idea these clubs were made for better players I just bought what felt good. After I bought the 755 I decided to try the 907d2 well look what happened After I got started it was to hard to quit

I love my 907d2 stiff shaft 11.5 degree

CPM is what determines flex in a driver. Based on the data, the fitter can optimize this for you.

OK, you just won today's "Stump The Old Guy" contest.

What does CPM stand for?

Cycles Per Minute.

Has to do with the resonant frequency of the shaft, or something of that matter.

I just got back from the range. I am changed man for the better. I have never hit a driver so accurate. this titliest 907 D2 driver is awesome. I had a graphite design Y-6 stiff shaft installed and I hit it so well and it sounds and feels terrific. Way better to me then my R-7 and FT-5. My ball flight was mostly straight with either a slight fade (open stance) or draw (more closed. and the best part is I can really swing at it and and the misses werent so magnified as with the regular shafted drivers. also - I am so happy to have a square clubface - I just seem to hit the ball better!

Out of all the drivers I've played in my golf career I have to be honest and say Titleist drivers have been the most played/tried. The ONE thing I can tell most people what the difference is that with their drivers you don't get penalized that bad with bad shots..they're not going to spray all ove the place..I've noticed they're either pulls or pushes..I've never had a "banana" slice or hook..something to consider.

and after some of my recent experience with different shafts i would say its even more important to get a good shaft that fits your swing than what driver you get... is that crazy? i think not.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
