1. fix the swing even a little.
2. Check shaft flex
3. check shaft length
4. avoid anything with a tour in the name (most are 1-2* open [unless you hook])
5. If you have a decent swing, with the most correct shaft, you can look for draw bias (again if you don't pull) and any of the square heads do well. have hurd that the sumo squared it incredibly straight. but a lot can't get past the sound it makes.

just my few cents

Cutting your driver down an inch can do you wonders.

Good call.

For the OP, other options include getting a driver with more loft. I'd say there's not a great deal of difference to be had between drivers - usually the problem is the indian, not the arrow.
In the bag...

I'm a high school golfer like you but a new club is not going to help much as you'll still struggle. It would be better for you to have a few lessons with the pro at your club and see what's wrong with your swing.
A more forgiving driver can help therefore a square head would be a good choice.

First work on your grip, alignment,and then your swing like many people have already suggested. But I would recommend the Nike 5900 cut down about a half inch to an inch. They can be bought very cheap, especially used and are verrry straight. If money isn't too much of a problem, get the Dymo2 for $199 and cut it down as well. After all The Dymo2 is the driver Tiger said was too straight...

The Nike Sumo 5900 would be a great club for you in it's stiff shafted model. I see them brand new for $140 or so. Check Dicks Sporting Goods and others.

I gamed one of these for a while....very good club....I was foolish for trading it....still puzzled as to why I did.

Yeah my current driver is a reg flex so that might be part of the problem. I hit 3 buckets of balls today and started to get it under control, im rolling my wrist over too quick.

I struggle hitting the ball in the fairway. What drivers are known for being staight?

The new Nike Str8 Fit Dymo is awesomely straight. Even when its not going perfectly you can open and close the face and change lie angle to make the flight straight. I got mine last week and it is well worth the money - BEST DRIVER OUT CURRENTLY.

Stiff flex.

Yeah but it also sounds like you need a stiff flex.

What kind of driver are you using now?

My cousin has the Callaway Hyper X, and hits it real well, but his dad gave him a Callaway FT-i, that is draw biased, stiff flex. He says he hits it straight every time, no problem. Might want to check into it. And you want stiff flex for sure.

Oh. Well, you should go get fitted for a new driver if you can afford it.

Any of the top brands make nice stuff, just make sure you get a stiff flex with how fast you swing the club.
