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!

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!

    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
