My personal advice is this: Go cheap. Go Used. (at first) Here is why: As your game improves, you will quickly (this is relative) want/need/desire different clubs. If you spend a ton of money on some brand spanking new Super-Duper-Game-Improvement clubs and your skill level quickly jumps, you may feel you want some clubs with smaller heads, less offset, etc, etc. then you are kinda screwed money wise.

I would agree with all of that...well except the part about Ping clubs looking good

Taylormade R9 460. My dad and i both have one and we love it. It is very forgiving, yet you can still work the ball well. The Adjustments are also nice. I have hit all of the top drivers and i like this one the best. But i would suggest hitting several different ones. What is best for some people isn't going to work the best for you.

Like before, you are asking a very vague question. But, the answer is pretty much the same, go to Golf Town, hit some drivers and see what you like the best. People can suggest drivers for you all they want, but it all comes down to what works for you. You can't just go out and buy a club because joe schmo over the internet told you it's good.

Hmmmm ...... I didn't read the whole thread, maybe it is there allready ..... I wouldn't seriously look at super game improvement, unless you want to buy several sets in a few years ..... if you are a bit serious I would look at a set, of which the manufactor tells us they are for midcappers (12-24 hc).....

Congrats on the new set of irons... As for the driver I bought a Cleveland Hibore XLS 10.5* and love it. I have never really been very accurate off the tee but after hitting this club for awhile I am getting my driver down pretty well. The other good thing about this driver other than it being very forgiving is its cheap. I found mine used in great condition for 85 shipped to my door.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By iacas ·

      More actual thoughts on the articles: Oh boy. I taught 5SK, and before that, I was S&T certified. Those experiences, for many good instructors, are additive. They're not "all" that they are. If I were to go through Scott Cowx's certification, or Dr. Kwon's, or James Ridyard's, or whomever's… I wouldn't be a "method" teacher any more than I am now. I'd be adding tools to the toolbox. He says there are "system" teachers, "non-system" teachers, and method teachers. Which one am I? A "non-system teacher"? So, I don't have any systems or structure? Or am I a "system" teacher with a bunch of branches and if/then/else statements? I don't know. The physics thing as it relates to S&T… yeah, that's already been discussed. Huh? Brendan, sorry, that part is bogus AF. Of course the arms go "around" somewhat. It's back, up, and in. Down, out, and forward. Plus, again, "energy can either be created or destroyed" isn't even right, as many of you have said. It's "neither" and it can be transformed, too. Plus, as others noted, that's typically a closed system: in our bodies we transform sugars and other things to create movement, energy. I'm going to move off this before I get totally annoyed… "These are the pontifications of a method" — no, the specific example he cited is the way everyone who has ever played good golf moves their hands - back, up, and in. The clubhead moves that way, too. I've seen this happen. This part might be the most accurate part of the article (it's no longer clear whether he's talking about this fellow or just talking in general here.) "Now here’s the sinister thing: The overwhelming information is by design." — If the instructor is as incompetent as he says, he's likely not doing any of this "by design." He doesn't sound bright enough to do so. WTF does that have to do with anything? Probably happens to some extent sometimes, but is that the instructor's fault? Or the student for not recognizing it? Also, again, this instructor doesn't seem to be bright (not that this article even really talks about the instructor anymore), so… I doubt he's doing all of this intentionally. People are found out eventually. I'm at a point where I get a lot of referrals from people who have noticed their friends playing better golf, and ask. Or people want to brag about their improvements, and that sells their friends. "As a result, these players couldn’t play golf." — Huh? I think he just observed when he was there. Not that he went out of his way to watch. 😄

      Is it possible that he writer is full of shit himself? "After months of listening and watching...". Yeah right, cuz that's so normal for writers do that just to get a single article out of the massive endeavor. I mean unless you are angling for a Rant-Pulitzer (Yup, it is a thing.. like, totally).
