Hello all, I am new here, but looking for some advice / pointers. I had a 580xd stiff shaft 8.5 loft driver I have used for the past 3 years, unfortunately I snapped the shaft last year and got it re-shafted. To make a long story short it never hit the same again and my golf game went in the crapper. I am looking to get a new driver, I was looking at the TM R9 or the Ping G10. Any other suggestions or what did you replace your 580xd with? Thanks for the help and advice.

I had a 540xd 9.5 stiff shaft and have just replaced it with a Titleist 909D2 9.5 regular Graffaloy Red Launch. I hit the 540xd way to high with to much spin, so I hope the Titleist will performe better for me. It did on Trackmann, so I just have to bring the performance to the course. I am conservative when it comes to golfequipment so the 909 suited my eye.

I actually replace my 5 series TM with a Bridgestone J33 Driver..... which you might or might not care for, but my recommendation to you is:
#1 - Get fit for the Shaft in combination with the Clubhead, preferably with the ball you intend to play.... assuming you make decent contact, that is critical to optimizing your distance/direction/shot shape.

#2 - Check out Tour Edge Exotics Drivers. Not cheap, but worth a good look IMO; they do not advertise, but they have some 'hot' Drivers and FW 'woods'. I do also like the looks of the G10.

The ping g10 is a solid driver. The R9 is very good too as long as you find the sweet spot (which is pretty small compared to most modern drivers).

I am definitely going to try some out, I was just trying to see what was comparable to the 580xd and narrow down to a select few. Thanks for the suggestions.
