I just got a new driver with its head being 525 cc square driver. I just started playing golf about a week ago and since i got this driver i can hit about 300 yards with a bounce n roll and ofcourse a minor slice. Do you think that it is smart to use this driver until i have been playing for a while and then switching to a 460cc or just not use this club cause it can hurt my development? Also I love the square design

525cc??? That would be like swinging a stick with a shoebox on the end of it.

I would say to get a 460cc and work at it. I mean, 460cc is more than plenty of room to hit a golf ball. You shouldn't have any problem hitting with any driver out there. If you go to Dick's, you can find some really good drivers for under $150.00. That's just my $0.02

If you like it, use it. You aren't competing or anything so have fun. My friend uses an illegal wedge because he an spin the hell out of a ball with it. Granted it ruins balls as well, but he has fun with it when messing around.

Personally, I have a 460cc but wish I had something smaller. All the extra head space doesn't help me so much and really probably slows my swing slightly. But whatever, it works.

I can't imagine a head that big. It must look ridiculous.

it really doesnt look strange at all because of the square design, it helps me because i have a problem with hitiing the ball to low(for some reason) so no matter what as long as i dont hit the ground the ball will hit the sweet spot

Seems like you would lose speed with a head that large, you should try a smaller head im sure you will be able to swing it even faster. If you have trouble hitting low than try a 11 or 13 degree driver

I like my Sumo2 square driver. Eventhough it looks like a waffle maker on a stick, it launches the ball high and long for me. I probably won't buy another driver for a while, its cool to be square(at least for me).

I'd keep using your ginormous driver until your game develops further. After it improves, I'd look around for a decent driver; nothing wrong with decent used clubs or models from a few years back.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
