i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of a driver for a lefty with a handicap of 36 if you do that would be great

We need a lot more information than "36 handicap" and "left-handed" to help you here... Go to a clubfitter. They'll ask you the appropriate questions.

A good starter driver is one of the HL (high loft) models in the 13.9 to 14 range with an "A" shaft which is more flexible than regular and also called a senior or amateur shaft. Calloway makes a HL, as does Ping in their lines hopefully, they do lefties. Any club maker can get a HL head and a shaft to fit you which might also be a tad shorter, say 44 or 44.5, to help you get the ball on the clubface in the sweet area.

I don't know if it's safe to make these assumptions. He might be a 36 handicap with 120 mph clubhead speed, if that's the case a senior shaft could compound the issue. Without addtional information it would be irresponsible to advise someone in this manner.

At this point, the only advice anyone could give is:

My advice stands. If he has 120MPH swingspeed that will be apparent when he swings the club and the seller will make another suggestion.

And that would be every bit as apparent if he takes your advice and makes a purchase online?

People have simply stated here that if he provide more infomation, they might be more able to help him narrow down his selection. They elected not to make broad generalizations as they would rather provide him with information he can act on.

    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe. 
    • What's the rest of that story? Where was the ball going?
    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
