Hi,

I'm about a 10 handicap, with around a 90 - 95 MPH swing speed.  Last night I hit the Razr Hawk Neutral in a 10.5 stiff, and fell in love.  However, they didn't have Tour model of the same shaft and loft setup for demo.

My question is, without having an opportunity to hit both, which one would you folks recommend?  I work the ball both ways, but my misses are usually when I come over the top or get quick and rotate through to fast closing the face.  Can be bad.

What are the pro's and con's of each driver option?  I know the Tour sets up slightly open and has a little smaller head, but what else?  Really at this point I want something that will be more forgiving to my bad misses and swing mistakes, to keep me in play.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

The Tour Model is forgiving, but like you suspect not as much so as the regular driver.  I don't think the difference is much except for what you mentioned as a smaller clubhead and it sets up open.  If you are looking for the max forgiveness, go with the one you hit and don't look back.  Tour models tend to set up for better players that like to have a little more control over shape and trajectory at the expense of forgiveness.

Thanks much, TourSpoon.  Good call -- ordered up the Neutral.  By the way, if you haven't hit this club yet, you owe it to yourself to try it.  Made driving the ball fun for me again at the range.

No problem, I have hit one of the new models, just not sure which one.  I do have the Octane Tour and love it.  I think you will really enjoy this model.  Good luck.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
