Anyone playing this driver? If so, what are your thoughts on it compared to the R9 460? Thinking of picking one up and upgrading from my Titliest 905R.

Driver: Rapture V2 9* | Fairway woods: Rapture V2 4w | Irons: G10 4-UW | Wedges: 56* | Putter: Redwood Anser | Ball: | Bag:


Honestly the best way to find out is to demo them. Not trying to be rude, but at a 20 handicap maybe the money would be better spent on lessons? But if you can't demo I would suggest googling for reviews.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.


I got one with the free hybrid/fairway wood deal. I upgraded from a really cheap golden bear driver so for me it was a big upgrade. I haven't hit the R9 but I did demo the burner against the diablo and adams speedline and while all 3 clubs seemed competitive, I liked the burner best. Since you have a similar hdcp, I would guess that you would be better saving the $100 by getting a burner over the R9 (or even get the 07 burner for $150) and spend the savings on lessons

In my offbrand bag....

    • After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five. Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite. Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀
    • Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since. 
    • I hate that I agree with this. But the guy is like a Ferrari with four flat tires trying to go 200 mph. Bad things can only come from that. He turns 50 on December 30th. I wonder how long Golf Cart Tiger lasts out there. 
    • When you’ve resorted to this type of stuff, hang ‘em up.
    • Happy April Fool's Day! 😅 Me after laughing for a bit about the joke:
