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

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

Ha! Funny stuff.

I don't think tgw.com sells 'king kobra' though. Also golfdiscount.com, golfsmith.com, etc. The r9 460's lifecycle is closing.

For the price, I think that it's hard to beat the Cleveland Hibore XLS.

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.

THIS!

I know you said you don't like the squared heads, but I golf with this guy pretty much every time I'm out there and this club made a 100% improvement in his driving game. He's been playing for a touch over a year now, and I've been playing for ten years. Since getting his Dymo, he drives the ball as well as I do. Very impressive, indeed.

Right now Im using the new Ping G15 with a stiff Serrano shaft. I found it used at a golf shop for $250. I really like it, it shows its pedigree on off center hits, and if you hit the sweet spot, watch out!
I like Nike drivers also, or at least I did. I still have a Dymo STR8 fit driver as a backup. I tried the new VR STR* fit and I didn't like it. It was straighter and more consistent than my Dymo, but it was way shorter! I couldn't live with that. I was hitting my 3 wood just as far if not further than my driver. What The...!?

I never bought into all the TaylorMade hype... I don't understand it really. People seem to just buy the "Burner" because everyone else does. I tried one, and I thought it sucked! Now that being said, I picked up the new R9 (I don't remember which model) and hit that in the hitting bay at Golfsmith a couple weeks ago and for some reason the computer was telling me it was 20 yrds further than what I normally hit. It didn't even feel good, but it definitely made me think about it... Im still thinking about it...

I ended up purchasing the TaylorMade R9 460 with 11.5* and regular shaft for $199.99. It seemed like a damn good deal and I had a $100 gift code from Amazon so I pulled the trigger.

I found one for 63 dollars shipped on ebay, in decent shape. Best money I've spent yet on any club, I went from erratic at best to hitting around 5-7 fairways a round and barely missing the rest. My driver used to easily be my worst club until now. I crushed a Nike Juice ball the other day 280, for me that is unreal. My best on my old TM 580 was 250.

Nice pick up!
