Best Driver

[ANTC]

Whats the best driver I can pick up for abuot 130ish range no more then 150. I was looking at the Callaway FT-i or the Taylor Made R7 Quad wasn't sure if this was the best bang for my buck though

[Iowa Hawkeye]

FTi or HiBore

[DavidFehertysBike]

You can probably pick up a sumo2 or hibore for that range. You probably can get taylormade stuff too from the 07 or even 08 burner lines.

At 3Balls the FT-i and the FT-5 are for around $140 in fine condition I think.

Try a Srixon Z-RW driver, it hits low spinning bombs and you can pick one up on ebay for under $150 if you are lucky.

Nickent 4dx.....Great driver and can get one almost new for around $100. I have been a Titleist guy for years and I personally think its as good if not better.

What he said! SERIOUSLY!

I've got a nickent 4dx draw. I absolutely love it. My dad, uncle, and grandpa have a mizuno mx-700, ping g-10, and ping rapture respectivley. They swing as hard as they can and blah blah and are all around longer hitters than me. When I'm keeping my drives in play with a nice easy swing, I'm right with them. Balls FLLLY off the club face. I really do not plan on getting rid of this driver until something horrible happens to it.

FT-i. i used one for 2 years and i still love it. super forgiving, easy to keep in the fairway, great feel
also, the Nickent 4DX driver is VERY good too. you can get a brand new one for under $100 on ebay

905r, nothing is quite as solid I have found, just needs a good shaft match and your golden

[bogeyhitter25]

NGC Golf Controller 460. $120 new.

No joke, it's the real deal.

I switch drivers about every 2 years. Usually buy a "New" club off one of the Ebay vendors. Note, I said vendor vs. an individual. The vendors care about their reputation and will usually be fair to deal with.
This year I upgraded to a NEW Tour Edge Exotics Driver for well under a $100 dollars shipping included. These retailed for $300 - $400 only a year ago. Mine is the 10.5 with Fujikura Shaft. It is long... but surprisingly the best part has been the straightness. VERY Forgiving. If you have a good swing I would suggest the 9 degree over the 10.5. The Fujikura shaft gets the ball up quickly so the 9 might be longer. My drives are long enough so I am happy with the straightness of the 10.5.
A sleeper driver would be a year or two old Nicklaus. They have a hot face but are not as forgiving.
Longest driver in my foursome is a TM R7 Quad.
I tried it but could never get to the point where I could hit it consistently. It felt 'light' to me, so my swing would wander... Hope this helps.

I love the hi-bore

I have a fantastic Callaway 460 in my hands right now. Just got it from Amazon for $149. It was sold via Golfsmith, on Amazon. Just a great driver and the price is awesome for a club like this. Below is the link to where I got mine, but it could be bought directly from Golfsmith for the same price I assume.

go with the Taylormade r7 or Nike SQ Sumo2 5900

I have both and they both fly and travel approximately the same distance.

but would this be worth the extra cash?

The R7 Quad is a nice club that feels and sounds good. For drivers I think it's hard to go wrong with Taylor Made. As for the Callaway FT-i Tour, I'm not so sure. Those drivers are not liked by everyone (myself included as I bought one when they went down to $169.99 but wasn't happy with it). Especially the fact it's the tour model which means the center of gravity will be set a little closer to the face than the non-tour models. That makes it easier for good players to 'work' the ball, but more difficult for most amateurs to control. I currently have a Callaway FT-i LCG 9.0* model (almost the same as the Tour model, but the center of gravity it a little lower) that I would be willing to sell to someone for a good price - it's barely been used at all.
