I own one of these and am debating upgrading and just wondering if anybody else has any experience using these at all.

It has a proforce 70 shaft on it.

I have just purchased new tommy armour irons and a new lob wedge and I have a new yonex putter (thing kicks ass) and am just debating upgrading the driver while i'm at it.

I just want to know what people think of the one I currently have.

I remember those. Honestly, so much has changed, plus the rest of your gear is new so might as well snag a newer driver. That is, unless you hit that firestick a mile and still love it.
Those were cool many moons ago.
I just gave my old Ti Bubble away to my father-in-law. I keep havinghim hit all the new drivers I go through and he still hits that 10 year old driver better than any of the new stuff, so if that is the case...save the $.

So it is outdated?

I've only started hitting it a couple years ago and have just started to get a handle on it now, sad thing is I can put my 5w almost as far off the tee as this driver, unless i absolutely crush it in the sweet spot.

I've been looking at the cleveland hibore xl on rockbottomgolf.com and have been debating ordering it. Its 129.99 but i'm not sure what the prices and customs will work out to once it's shipped to canada.

I'd just try on ebay for Canada auctions maybe?
IF your hitting the 5w longer, then yes, time for new driver!

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
