So im so sick of my ft-9 it doesnt have enough head weight for me. so what do you all think. what in your own experience was the longest driver you have ever used

[JML22]

longest hitting? driver ? or longest shaft?

[cody west]

longest hitting

[Meddle]

All the long hitting drivers on the market today are going to have light heads. But to answer your question, I've heard the Cleveland Launcher DST is really long.

If your looking for weight then start looking for a aftermarket shaft for that head. If your looking to bomb go with a 6x gram shaft. What's your SS?

Do they still sell lead tape? The longest driver I've ever owned is the PING G10, but at 10.5 degrees, it's not a windy day club.

Longest ..... 909D2 or I15 ..... but they all are within 10-20 yds difference at most. FT-9 is shorter fur sure and it can be very accurate ...... I know a few low HC playing these, hitting 220-230 in the middle of the fairway about all the time ..... 270-300 yds in the rough or woods is common with the really longhitters .... it is just what you prefer. You have to be very accurate to get longgggg drives in the fairway.

Let's compromise...I'll take 260 on the right side of the fairway

I'm not sure that just bcs you hit fairway 99.9% makes is any better if you cant carry hazards in the low 200's... I am still working to find that combinations that allows me to hit 250/60/70 yards out and still keep in the fairway. I have been practicing my swing, and have been able to get to 257 Ave / 44%, form my previous 241 Avg / 31% fairways hit. In part was due to a change in driver, which helped me reduce my launch angle and spin, but also working on mechanics.

Some courses have no forced carries of any kind - there's typically a safer route for accurate 200-230 hitters.
