Honestly, when i fist got my HS9 it felt slightly boardy but over the last year it's felt decent when i would connect properly. I just don't like how the face on the HS9 is closed more than average. I also don't like how light the club head feels. The one thing i noticed immediately with the TM superquad was that it felt like i was swinging something substantial. Obviously is has to do with the fact that the TM is all titanium and the HS9 is a carbon composite/titanium blend.

I've never tried FT-5 so I can't make a comment on it. The SuperQuad, however, is exactly what you described when I had it in my hand the first time. The driver head somehow feels just different than the others. I just wish SuperQuad would produce a bit more of "ting" than "thwack" sounds. Regardless, it's a good driver and I think you should get it.

P.S: I think regular flex is fine for you.
What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff

Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

Hey, i bit the bullet and got myself a superquad off ebay. The FT5 is just a little to pricey and my heart was leaning toward the R7 anyway. Can't wait to get it! Oh, and I got the regular flex.

Sweet! You'll love it!

Wait, off eBay? Is it from a reputable seller? I sure hope so.

great replies, thank you.

Interesting, I did basically the same thing, but my results were a steady increase from 86-87 to about 93 at the end when I quit, 120 swings total. Golf Galaxy during a blizzard. I am probably cursed with a lack of fast twich muscle fiber. In ancient times I was a middle distance runner. I am a body swinger with a medium tempo reasonably smooth swing, using a regular shaft. I have tried stiff and it works fine, but I find it harder to work the ball.

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
