iTouch, or R9? It's driving me crazy!

[live4u120]

Well I have some money, and I was totally sure I wanted an R9 460, in replacement for my last teenager wilson club. It's a heavy, too much flex, uncomfortable 10.5 driver. I was talking to a friend that has had an iTouch for a while, and it's really impressive! The graphics processing is incredible for the games. But I don't have an iPod, because my last one got washed in the laundry. so which one should I buy? iPod to replace my mobile entertainment I currently have little of, or a new driver I know I can crush off the tee? Golf is really important to me, as you can tell. Thanks guys!

I've seen Ipods, Itouches, and PSPs on craigslist for around $100

I've seen used R9 460s go for around $150

Personally, I'd get the driver. Save a little more money and get a PSP or Itouch after the Holiday Season when you'll find a bunch of bargains on craigslist and ebay (people getting rid of their duplicate gifts and old stuff)

I have an iTouch, I have had a LOT of iPods. The problem with the iTouch is that is does not support GPS like the iPhone does. That means that none of the GPS based software for the iPhone does anything important on the iTouch. Even if they say they are iTouch compatible it will only do the none GPS functions of the software. As for the R9 460, I play an '07 Burner and the other day I was able to try the R9 460, the ball went to the same spot, no difference, nada. I think the Dual crown Burner that replaced mine would be the club to buy and would be cheaper. The R9 hosel technology is attractive but in truth we all would be better off learning to hit the ball, after all, the rest of our clubs do not have FCT so wouldn't it be better to develop a swing that works for the entire bag?

Youngsters and their tech toys......Get the R9!!!!! I can't use either on very well but the R9 wins by a mile.

just get an iPhone, haha I'm doing this from one right now. But I already have my clubs... Just get the iPhone not the itouch

I don't think the Itouch can drive a golf ball very far. Better to get the driver.

Go with the R9. You can pick up an Itouch used for a great price or just find a good deal in general. You can use a normal Ipod for most of the Itouch can do.

I had an R9 460 for a month or so and couldn't wait to get rid of it.


I've had my 3Gs iPhone for a month now and can't figure out how I have lived without it!!!!! In fact, I'm using it to type this (and most of my thread responses). These units are awesome.

Drivers will come and go....but Apple is here to stay around our house. iPhone , 120GB Classic, 16GB Nano and two Shuffles.

Driver unless your are on an Apple, I Touch Forum.

Did you ask the Apple forum the same questions? Driver or I Touch? sorry, just trying to be funny.

It's a golf forum. It's my duty so say the R9 460.
