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.

or actually which is the best driver out of the 07 08 and 09 callaway drivers in your guys opinion?

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)
TM rac 50/6 GW
Arnold Palmer The Standard SW (20-30 years old)'99 Dual Rossie Blade

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.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
