It may be because I'm still in the honeymoon period, but I have more confidence with my new R11 than any other driver I've had.  I absolutely love it, the sound, the feeling of impact, everything about it brings up my confidence level with it.  It might be because as I was demo'ing it, my first shot ever with it was just the longest and straightest shot off the range.  It just started out with confidence and I never looked back.  I am a Callaway player too, so this is not coming from a biased Taylormade guy or anything.  I just love that R11!!

Taylormade Burner SuperFast 1.0 with a Re Ax 55 shaft cut down .75".  I just got it (as detailed in another thread) and the thing is pretty nice.  It is everything you could want in a driver: accurate, light, distance, and relatively cheap at $139 at dicks.  Got it wrapped with a Callaway grip that is my favorite grip (the one that shows you where to put your thumbs).  Bought it a few days ago and it kills in practice.  First round with it is today at 330.  I have the hybrid SuperLaunch and it is my favorite club.  The SuperX line from Taylormade has taken 4-5 strokes off my game (switched from 2006 Nike hyrid and driver).

I've had great experiences with Ping drivers.

I had a Ping G2 for three years that was fantastic...until I cracked the face of it.  Currently I hit the Ping i15, and thanks to the lower spin rate I'm consistently 25 yards longer off the tee than I was previously with my Titelist 907D2.

I still very much enjoy using my Titleist 913D3.

Thought I'd revive this thread… what's your favorite driver?

For feel, I love Titleist drivers. Though the SLDR is very close. Totally different feel but I enjoy both.

Right now Its hard for me to find a driver that beat the performance of my Taylormade SLDR TP driver. For me, performance matters more than feel.

So the winner for me is the SLDR driver as my favorite.

R11s. Had it for a couple of years now and love it. The face is getting kind of beat up from range balls but if I buy a new one I am pretty sure it is going to be the R11s again. I cannot imagine hitting a different one.

The only driver I ever really did well with was also the only driver I ever had a "fitting" for *quotes because it wasn't a true fitting but best that was available back then*. Tour edge bazooka, I don't have it anymore due to all my clubs getting stolen at one point. I wish I could remember the name of the irons I had at that time too because I really liked them.

Seeing as how I'm a single man again, maybe I'll have extra disposable income to pick up some fitted clubs.

Nah, other issues, long standing ones. But that's not the issue here, I obviously just need you to sell me whichever set of irons you don't want to use anymore for $50 so I can buy a custom fit SLDR driver. :banana:

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…
    • Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him. 
    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
