i right now play the taylormade r7 draw. this was when i always hit a fade or when i mess up slice ball. i've completely reworked my swing so i don't hit the slice anymore. since i have fixed my slice, whenever i play with this driver i have to open the face at address in order to not hit a hook. it seems to me that every time i line it up square at address, the ball seems to hook. when i used my friend's nike SQ 5000, i would hit a draw or it would go straight. i bought the r7 draw for $140 when it was on sale. i was looking at titleist drivers. i use titleist 695mb's and i like titleist products. so i was wondering if i should just save some money and buy a used 905R or should i drop $230 bucks or wait till the price goes down since titleist is coming out with a new driver next month and get the 907D2??

I know these are gonna be very hot....have already heard some guys I golf with getting interested in them.

It seems to be a major event every time Titleist launches new products. For what it's worth, the 907D2 looks nice at address.

I personally am not interested due to my current extreme satisfaction with my G-10. It is hands down the best driver I've ever owned....and I've had a bunch of them, in fact....if my accounting is correct, this is my 13th driver.

909D Comp 9.5* (house MATRIX OZIK XCON-6)
Burner Superfast 3 & 5 woods (house MATRIX OZIK XCON-4.8)
G15 Hybrid 23* (AWT shaft)
G5 5 iron-PW-46*, UW-50*, SW-54 & LW-58 (AWT shaft)

Go get fit for a driver.Make sure you go to a qualified clubmaker for the best driver for you. The guys at the big stores are usually poorly trained and have no idea what it takes to fit a golfer for a club.

Whats in the bag?
Driver = Wishon Golf 949mc 9.75*/.5* Closed Face Angle
Fairway Wood = Wishon Golf 915 F/H 16* Square Face Angle
Wood Shafts = Wishon Golf Pro Flight EXP 85g Stiff Flex
Hybrids = Wishon Golf 331H 21* & 24*Hybrid Shafts = Wishon Golf GI335 Tour Weight 92g Stiff FlexIrons = Wishon...

Agreed, the Ping G10 is the shiznit! I got fitted for it and got it with a 12* head on a ProLaunch Red stiff shaft and couldn't be happier. Plus, at 339$ CAD, it's a steal.

As stated in an earlier thread, it's worth going through a fitting. I would never have ordered a 12* head with a stiff, low-launching shaft if my life depended on it before the fitting. Boy am I happy I got fitted!

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
