Ever since the 460cc drivers have come out, everyone has picked one up for their game. I currently game a TM R7 460cc that's been doing fairly well for me. I'm looking for a change and was thinking of going back to a smaller CC driver.

What do you guys think? Any pros or cons to this?

I was thinking of going to a TM 360ti 8.5*

Probably won't hurt a bit. I played the TM 360ti (XD version) for about two years. I used to kill that thing. You can probably pick one up on Ebay for next to nothing by now. More and more manufacturers are offering new drivers that are not 460 in size. here's one... http://cgi.ebay.com/Mint-RH-TaylorMa...rms=240%3A1318

I am not very fond of the larger drivers, even though I have one, I would think the head you suggest is as good as any made. Put in on the right shaft for you and don't look back!

After trying several 460cc drivers over the last couple years, I went back to my TaylorMade R540XD last summer and haven't looked back. Of course that doesn't mean I won't be looking at new drivers, but I'm pretty happy with the old smaller head. I just do not like the large headed drivers.

I've actually been looking at a bunch of older drivers, mainly the 983k from Titleist. The reason why I'm looking for a change is because I want more workability and hopefully some more distance.

The R7 is still good to me but it just seems to not have its "pop" anymore. Maybe having another driver to switch in every once in a while will keep things fresh.

i still play a 400cc driver and love it more workability more club head speed for me anyways and it just instills confidence it has lower spin to you should try the r510tp if you can find it it is amazing or the new r7 limited is 434cc little bit smaller i wish you luck in finding a smaller driver i also love the r7 425 tp great workability and distance try what i have the wilson staff pd5 if you get a chance there about 80 on ebay now

Thanks for the tip Ak3! I'll definitely look into those. For some reason, the smaller headed drivers give me more confidence to swing to the fences. Then again, thats where the swing begins to break down. :p

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
