I have an R9 460 9.5 that I don't really like the feel of. Even though it is a 460cc head, I feel like I rarely hit the "sweet spot" compared to my old R7 (which is actually a 420cc). Anyway, I would like some recommendations for good feeling drivers. I have the Burner 07' 3 wood, and it feels phenomenal on just about every hit. Should I swap my R9 in for the Burner 07' driver? How is that driver? Is it long, does it have good feel? Any other recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

In my Grom:
R9 460 Aldila RE-AX 60g Stiff
07' Burner 3 Wood Stiff
09' Rescue 2 and 4 Stiff

All these questions will be answered differently depending on who you ask. If you ask me, my Titleist 909D3 is the best feeling driver I've ever hit, but I've not hit anything else in a while, so I can't compare.

Just go try a bunch of drivers and pick what you like. A thread like this will only get your replies like "I have the [enter driver name here] and love it!"

Well I had a really crappy (Acuity) driver and then I bought a used Callaway BB 460. I went from 200ish inconsistent yards to 230-270yds down the middle. I'm a beginner so I'm not sure, but I do know the equipment makes a difference. I'd say to go get fitted and test out a few for yourself on the range before committing.

I would suggest a Tour Burner if you're dead set on TaylorMade. I went from an R7 to the TB and found just as good consistancy and a touch more distance. If you're looking to trade, I've got 2 Tour Burners so I can part with one!

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
