Other: Mizuno. The newer Mizuno drivers are awesome. Theyre super easy to hit and give good distance when struck properly.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

It might not last more than one season due to quality reasons, but if you can't find a driver you can hit from Walmart, then you truly are one craptastic golfer. I'm pretty sure I could pound a John Daly brand driver with firm shaft. In fact I may buy one just for kicks!!

My buddy who uses a Taylor Made just won a Jon Daly driver in a tournament we played. After we oooed and awwed he wished he had won THE HAMMER instead.;)

That's funny - your buddy sounds like a poser.

Classic shape and flat out performs. Workable both ways and head hand picked to my requested spec; how's that for service? Best I've hit since an old Titleist 975D.

i would reccommend the new king kobra driver because its accurate and their one of the lightest drivers. if you go out and buy a driver get the new king kobra!

Not true, they have some of the heavier heads on the market. At least the ones I've pulled apart and weighed.

I love my Titleist 909d comp. It launches the ball very high, and doesn't spin too much. If you have a swing speed over 100, this might be a nice club to try

Very high launch = lost yardage due to NO roll out. I know from experience.

I have an R7 Limited 420 cc that I picked up last summer brand new for $105. It was my first larger head driver and I didn't like the 460cc models as much. I love the club, it replaced a severely dated 320ti that I inherited from my father 11 years prior when I played once every 3 years. Every TM driver I have tested has been magnificent though.

I have the G10, thats a good club... also check out the used section at your golf store, alot of good deals there.

If they didn't cost so much i would go back to titleist, they make one hell of a driver.

My Nike Dymo2 SQ that I bought for just over $100 a couple months back is the biggest game improvement I've ever seen. I went from consistently bad with my driver on my worst days and inconsistently good with it on my best, to consistently good on my good days, and not too bad on my bad days.

The R9 460. Just a bomber. & it loves to go straight. Under 200 new now.

That's the oem suggestion. There's also alot of really sweet component heads out there too. SMT is a favorite of mine, the db455, O2 & nemesis in particular.

Where did you find the R9 460 under $200 new?

Probably the same place where you get "king kobra" drivers.

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
