Not that i have managed to out grow my current driver, but after so many throws and smashing of tees, it is time to get a new one. I currently have a nike 5900, but with a regular flex shaft. Taking slow motion video shows that this shaft is clearly not stiff enough. I love the 5900 but I am intrigued at the new diablo driver. What are your guys take on the drivers. Im def still a high handicap golfer but usually hit the ball consistently straight.

Ive heard the diablo puts it just as straight as any of the other forgiving drivers, but doesnt put out as much distance.

You may find great results for less $$$ by re-shafting your current driver. Something to consider at least.

So many throws? Do you typically throw your driver after you hit your consistently straight drives?

I would focus on improving my swing with the driver you have first. Getting a new driver isn't going to instantly improve those mishits where you beat it into the ground and you'll end up with a brand new driver with nice dings on it in no time.

I love my current driver.......Cobra L5V 11.5 loft, reg shaft.


I play it in the 1 degree closed mode as my older cobra LD M speed Offset was causing too many pulls.

Hands down, I think the Cobra's are the way to go....and you don't have to go new...there are plenty out there on the pre-owned market (Edwin Watts, Golfsmith, etc.)

I have tried others (Callaway, Adams, Nicklaus, Ping) but keep going back to the Cobra's

yea the throwing fits have been done for a while. Thats why i was thinkin it was time for a new driver that wont suffer the same fate. There were quite some throws, had to climb a tree once.

Then maybe you should stay with the SLINGSHOT!

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      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…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
