Are there any cheap ones out there besides the R7?

I have a bit of a slice and I think it would help me. The is $150. I'm looking for something in that range, or maybe used and cheaper.

I got my R7 for 150, I had upgraded from a no name driver. It's straightened my fade definitely, but I've started to pull the ball at times. It was definitely worth it, my driving distances rose at least 20 yards (I switched from a Senior flex 10 deg to a Stiff Flex 9 deg) and I am more accurate. I'd definitely look into the R7, I don't have any experience with other cheaper models, but for $150, I think it's a steal.

STAY AWAY from draw-biased equipment. I played with a rep from a company that I won't name down in Mexico last year, and he said: since most of the golf population has a chronic slice, they try to sell these drivers, but a draw bias will not really cure a slice. and why would you want a club that will only let you hit the ball 1 way unless you extremely compensate to turn a fade or hit it straight.

why don't you try a closing your stance a little bit or flattening your swing plane...or maybe a combination of both? you'd be surprised how much 1" lower on your swing plane will really straighten that ball and let you crack it straight down the fairway.

most slicers is caused by out to in swing path which really cannot be cured by a draw driver. i got this disease and what helped me was going to an in to out swing path and it has worked.

THe R7 is a good choice, its pretty and it dosn't look "drawish". THe Ping G10 is a great option as well, but the price is twice of the R7.

Have you thought about preowned? I picked up my R5 Dual Type D at Golf Galaxy for $49.95. It's like new and even has an oversized Lamkin grip on it. I wasn't sure I wanted a draw driver so figured I couldn't go wrong for $49.95. Turns out I really like it. It's helped my game immensely. I still slice once in a while which usually happens when I fail to turn through the shot properly and end up swinging with my upper body. Otherwise, I hit the ball a lot straighter with the R5 than with any other driver I've ever used. BTW: I rarely ever hit a true draw with it but have been known to pull the ball straight left. Thankfully, I've pretty much got that problem under control by going to a more neutral grip.

Bought a new R7 Draw for $140 off ebay with that cash back thing I saw on here. Wound up with a net purchase of $115 after my $25 back.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
