Anyone have experience with this driver? I'm searching for a driver to replace a Nike SQ2 that I played for 2 years. In mid summer something happened and it seemed to die, the face sounded flat, and I wasn't getting any feedback in my hands. So I got rid of it and I've been swapping drivers left and right. I've had the VR tour, VR str8 fit, and a Cleveland Hi-bore and it just isn't working out.

I used a launch moniter and the Superfast was the longest one for me. My swing speed varies between 102 and 105, I had a faster swing but with all these changes I've made I have slowed down some. I'm just tired of driver swapping and I want to find something long and forgiving. Any suggestions?

Superfast is a decent stick. I play the 09 burner and find it to be extremely long and forgiving. A buddy has about the same swing speed as you and he plays the R9. He hit both on the monitor and the R9 waaaay outperformed the superfast.

I never liked the superfast.
I prefer a heavier driver that I can control more.
I don't see the point with less accuracy and more distance off the tee when I'm not that accurate anyway.

what's wrong with the VR?

I don't think a new driver is going to make much of a difference.

I don't like the removable head, the sound it makes, there isn't any feel in my hands for where the impact was on the face. It doesn't seem to react well to my swing. I have tried it at the range for hours, and I'm not getting near the distance I was getting, or the control I was getting with the SQ2.

But you may be right. I'm taking a lesson on friday and we'll see how that goes. Appreciate your imput.

I have compared it directly with the 07 Burner, R9, and G15 with nothing coming close to the ball speed and distance that the Superfast has. It is amazing how fast the ball comes off of the face on this driver.

I have one currently and love it but I'm looking to get an R9 because I like it even more. I love the sound of a crisp shot off the SF. If you are interested I am looking to sell mine to cut down on the R9 cost. Let me know.

Agreed. Ball speed and carry were ~ 4.0% higher with the Superfast & Superfast TP over my current driver. Adding 6 mph and 12 yards didn't seem to negatively effect my misses dramatically either.
