I was taking a lesson and all of a sudden I saw a large spark and a weird noise. Checked out my driver and there was a good 2 inch crack in it. Anyone have any recommendations for a new driver in the sub 200 range? I like the traditional look of the R5, and not anything such as the hibore which looks terrible. I'm disappointed that my driver broke, but it is time for me to go to stiff shafts anyways. Thanks.

You might check with Taylor Made. They'd probably like to take a look at it from a QC standpoint and might give you a deal on a replacement.

If you can't get a discount on your replacement. I'd look into the '07 Burners. Nice club. $150 new most places.

I'd suggest that as well. Their prices have been dropping lately. I am very close to pulling the trigger on one but can't justify it since my fairway percentages will suck no matter what driver I use.

Actually, I just bought a 2007 Taylormade Burner! 150$ and im hitting it way farther than my old driver!

I really suggest you looking into that club!

The burner is a great club, I just am not sure I am a huge fan of the 50g shaft. Maybe just not used to it.

I don't know if this is possible, but you can get it reshafted with a bit heavier shaft or something like that?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
