Recommend a driver...

[LBC99]

My father in law needs a new driver bad. My wife and I are planning on getting him a $60 gift card for his bday to Roger Dunn Golf Shop down here in SoCal so he can picked up a good used one.

For around $60, what is a good driver that he and I should be on the look out for when we go to redeem the card.

Thanks.

u can great some great clubs used for $60 and under. look for some taylormade r5's, adams, older pings and callaways, and of course see what you can get in the titliest bin. look around you can find a lot of great deals on used clubs.

last week when i was surfing online,i found a golfwholesale shop.all golf equipment are sold by wholesale price.they are not fake,just originnal OEM.Guarantee the quality of their products,if you find it fake,you can demand to refund anytime！

To the OP, unless you don't mind fake stuff, don't buy from here. I just checked out the website and everything is way too good to be true. $150 Camerons, $300 for new AP2s, $170 for an FT-9. I did a little search and it turns out it ships directly from China and that others have had problems with the fakeness of the clubs.

But, for $60 I'm sure you can get some good used equipment. I would look at some brands that don't get much recognition: Nickent, Adams, etc. Also, try some TaylorMade stuff. Since they release a driver every few months, a driver from 2 years ago is crazy cheap.

You can find Taylormade R5's, R580's, and older R7's for around that price.

Also, When they dont carry anything LH its a good sign its fake stuff. I dont think there is much of a market in fake LH gear. just not enough LH golfers I bet.

I still hit an R580 and think it's a great driver. You could certianly find one for $50 or so

Some older Big Berthas can be had for that and they are very forgiving.

My dad is a terrible golfer, and he still manages to hit his G10 straight with senior flex shaft. Really, it's actually HARD to slice that thing. How good of a player is your father in law, though?

Well, really, it depends on your swing. I mean, some people have a swing thats prone to slice the ball because they cut across it. Even if your Dad is bad, he still may not have that exact swing flaw that causes a big slice.

But, with that said, a Ping G10 is a really nice club. I hit mine pretty straight.

Just got my brother a used Cobra driver and he loves it. He's had great luck with it and hits is great. Like someone said earlier, he can get a lot of club for $60.

Check out www.rockbottomgolf.com They have the Mizuno's MX-560 driver for either $79. When I was searching not long ago, this was one that was highly recommended.

He ended up picking a King Cobra driver for $50. I don't remember the model, but we played a round that afternoon and he loved it. Thanks for all the suggestions.

If you can find one the King Cobra Comp 454 is really nice. Ultra forgiving and if you want to, workable.

^^^ oops didn't see your post my bad.

Actually, I think that might be what he got. It played great for him and really straightened out his drive.
