Hi!
I want to buy a new driver, i´m lloking at pre-owned clubs as i have a small budget right now (150$), i drive quite long over 300Y, i used to have a ben hogan big ben cs3 with stiff shaft but i want to change it. I usually play on the low 80´s and mainly when i hit the ball bad i hook it.
Thanks

Hm... im pretty faithful to Taylormade woods. Try the burner drivers, they are relatively cheap $199 for a new one. Received Hot List Gold award and is fairly easy but long club to use. Get a TP if its too flexy, or a Tour if you draw or hook to much. Theres also r7 limited, again $199 (i was seriously gonna get this, but my dad bought me the r9 for my bday). Also you can check superquad.

All great clubs to get.
In my Warbird Hot Stand Bag:

I got my driver off craigslist for $100. It was barely used and didn't have a mark on it beyond what you would expect for a club that had been played for 2 rounds.

I'd check local classifieds and such for a good deal. Hit some demo days in your area to find which ones you hit well. Then go on a hunt for a lightly used one.

Driver: 909 D3 Diamana Blue
3 wood Ti Bubble 2
Hybrid: Burner Rescue 19 S Fujikura
4-PW: ZB NS Pro 100 S
GW: 51 VokeySW: 55 VokeyLW: 60 BeCuPutter: Red X3 or Del Mar 2 TeI3Ball: TP Red LDP or Pro V1x

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
