Though I know different drivers suit different people, but I need help narrowing some down. I currently have an MX-500 which has too much loft for me. It was a great deal at the time and I couldnt pass it up, but it isnt for me.

My top choices right now are:

Taylor Made R7 Superquad
Mizuno Mp-600

Which other drivers should I consider? I am looking for control, distance has never been a problem for me.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I would recommend going to a pro shop and demoing as many drivers in your price range as you can. Try the newest models from all of the top manufacturers.

Maybe all you need is a new shaft. I have a ping G10 and it was a completely different animal with the Diamana Blue shaft on the launch monitor. Same club 9* with a pro launch red gave me exactly the trajectory I wanted. If you *must* get a new driver, I would swing the Titleist 909 - and of course don't leave out the G10. Its the first driver I have had in a long while that doesnt have an imminent retirement date.

I would agree with the above. Custom fitted clubs or clubs tuned for your swing is the key.Right now I`m still hitting my Ping G-5 9 degree and loving it.I had the shaft changed to my specs and then weighted and cut to fit me. If you go to clubmaker make sure they test your swing speed and launch angle. Just trying to help. Good Golfin

Depending on your swing and budget, I like the Taylormade R 9

TaylorMade all the way. There is a reason it is the No. 1 driver on tour. Find one that you like to hit and never look back.

Note: I have had three shafts in this thing. I am almost possitive its not a shaft thing. The two shafts I have bought were both "fitted"

    • Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
    • Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top.
