Back then i had the R7 (which was 2006 i think), the first Nike squarefaced driver (or coke bottle on a stick due to the noise), i tried the Callaway line and the original Burner.

The Burner is a really solid driver and of all drivers i ever had, this one holds ALL my personal longest drive records...

Burner 9°
FW Burner 15°
Burner Rescue 19°
MP67 4-PW
CG10 50° CG12 DSG 54° & 60°

G5 driver, was a sweet club, it was sweet feeling. the ball alignment aid was very different but not bothersom.

For me, "Best" is affordable, long, and easy to hit. The '07 Burner, cheap, easy to hit, and long. Three people have bought one and the '07 3 fw because of hitting mine. I love the long shaft and was really surprised by how easy it is to hit. I was a bit afraid of the length of the shaft but it turns out it is perfect. I tried an R7 that is one inch shorter and the long shaft is much easier to hit.
And how do you go wrong with a Burner!!

Ive tried the burner and rapture v2 but for me it was the Cobra LD that won me over. Not the longest driver but I hit it straight most the time and ever since then my drive has become the one consistent in my game. The only negative is the sound but I dont mind it at all.

The Superquad TP. So good Goosen is still using it.
I prefer it to the R9, much easier to shape and control ball flight.
It also looks the coolest.

Technology hasn't changed in a long time with drivers. The USGA really put the hold on it. I have an OLD driver and it has the same COR of new drivers as well as size.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
