Driver 2009!!

[Quinn07]

Just wondering who bought a new 2009 driver this summer and how they thought it held up compared to your previous driver.

I purchased the FT-9 this summer and have never hit the ball so badly. Mainly the terrible swing I had this summer so I won't fault the club. So I am going to try and play with it this summer and see how I fair.

i bought my nike sumo 5000 in february and have loved it, except for the fact that i completely blew out the shaft

Bought the 09 burner, didnt hit it very well, guess it just wasnt for me.. so traded that in after about a month and now have the hibore xls and am liking it alot.

I bought a FT-9 and have never hit so many fairways.More than worth the price and I recieved a FT--3 wood free to boot

Cleveland HiBore XLS 10.5* reshafted with Aldila NV 65R, is my dream driver. I still struggle with it on occasion. It's sorta like being married, you love each other and learn to work things out. My previous driver was a Callaway Steelhead 10* that was in the bag for almost 10 years.

didn't purchase a driver in 09. i started playing in October last year and got a Wilson beginner set. I have upgraded all of my clubs (my 710 AP2 got here today) but the driver and three wood. I will upgrade to a Titleist 909 D2 this spring when there's a Titleist demo day at my club. I'm fairly happy with my current driver although the shaft is too soft for me.

Yes tried a 909d2 that had been traded in at my club and liked it but knew the shaft was incorrect for me (voodo regular) so I went and got fitted and as I was struggling with launch angle I was fitted for a 909 D comp and still get some lowish launch angles out of it but I also get some perfect ones. I make a lot of fairways with it and it is very forgiving. Funny thing is I never see anyone else using one?

Hi! I?m interested in this subject. I've started playing but no idea how to chose a good clubs set. I've been told that there's a Chinese brand named Koala,(for me, for hit the ball for first time it would be the same ) but I don't know if it's good or no. please, could someone help me telling me how is this brand?Thank you!

I got the LV4 this year.
I don't know if it's a early 2009 or late 2008 club though.

I love it and hit it far and straight

hmmmm? i guess its a good thing your club is staying in itself? lol

[Fat Slice]

I bought a Wilson Spine - it's decent in length and is easier to keep straight. Once you get past the noise (not so bad when you hit the sweet spot) it's a good club at a great price.

I build my own golf clubs, so I built several drivers this year, and finally settled on a Purefit DC tour. It is a 400CC pear shaped driver at 10.5 loft and 1.5 degrees closed face. I matched it to a New Image shaft and made it 44.5 inches long. I like the driver alot, except the last 18 I played (last one for the season I fear) I put a skymark on it, when I made a really bad swing on the ball. oh well, such is life.

I will inevitably build a new driver (or 3) next summer, and have my eye on a few integra heads and sk fibre shafts.

I'm getting a new one in about a month from Santa. Choosing between the Ping Rapture and the '08 Tour Burner. Neither are extremely new, but that means less money, and more for tee times.

[revrat]

I've had my Adams Tech A4 for a couple of months, and I still grin when I think about hitting it. It's easier for me to hit than some of the GI drivers that use "easy to hit" as a selling point. It's long, straight, sounds way better than my old Mizzy 560, and looks like a million bucks. They are dirt cheap right now too.
