Hey guys I currently have the callaway great big bertha and am looking to upgrade my driver. I want to get a used driver particularly one that is like last years model or the year before that so that I can get a used one at a good price. My question is, which driver should I get out of say 07,08, or 09's drivers? Is there a standout one because Im not sure If I wil be able to test hit one before I buy a used one off of a site.

07 burner for sure. In some peoples eyes its not just the best burner made to date, but best taylormade driver made to date. Hits it long, straight, and is forgiving, and has a pretty good sound.. what more do you want?

I have a friend who swears by the burner, but I've tried to hit it and something about the weight is devastating to my swing.

I play a Titleist 905T that is probably 5+ years old, and have yet to find another driver that fits my swing. My recommendation would be to get yourself to a golf galaxy and swing every single used driver they have available that fits your swing (aka don't swing a driver with a regular shaft if you're used to swinging stiff shafts)

I tried to hit a Callaway FTi a couple weeks ago, and while the connection was great, the sound that the club makes made me laugh almost uncontrollably after every hit. I think it's pretty safe to say that at this point, the technology is good enough in any club maker to have a decent selection. It's all about what feels right in your hands.

I agree, it's mostly about what gives you confidence standing over the ball and what suits your eye and if you prefer the classic look of a driver with no "ting" sound, Titleist 909 series are worth a look.

FWIW, Last year's Diablo would have been my 2nd choice. The head looks a little funky at address, but it felt and sounded nice. The best driver will be the one you feel comfortable with.

'09 Burner (UST ProForce V2 77g - S)
4dx 15.5 hybrid (UST V2 - Stiff)
'99 Apex Plus 3-EW (Stiff)

Ping G10's can be found nowadays brand new for like $200.

You can also find some Nike SQ Sumo drivers for under $100. Nice driver, better than the newer SQ Dymo's in my opinion.

Some more food for thought - check out Marketplace for my Cleveland HiBore XLS Tour 10.5 Driver (Fuji Fit-on-Gold Stiff) post. Nice long wood, and can be yours for a great price.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
