I am looking into buying a new driver. Which one of these would you pick and why? I am trying to find a driver that isn't too awfully expensive, but performs very well so any other reccomendations are accepted.

In my Nike Xtreme Carry Lite II Bag:

Driver: Cleveland Hibore XLS 9.5
Fairway Wood:Nike DyMo2 4 wood
Hybrid:Nickent 3dx DC ironwood 3hIrons: Taylormade Burner Plus 4-AWPutter: Yes! TiffanyShoes: Footjoy Greenjoys

I chose "OTHER" and suggest the PING G15. What I pick may not be the best for you. I could love a driver but the next person may detest it.

I don't hit my Diablo Edge driver as well as I do my FT-9, though that could be because the FT-9 is an iMix, and I have a better shaft on it.  I never hit the R9, so I can't compare.  The Diablo Edge driver is very forgiving and a great driver, but I get more distance and accuracy with the FT-9 so I haven't used it as much.  I have the Diablo Edge 3W and that is my favorite wood,  I hit that straight and almost as far as my drivers.  It's the one wood that has never left my bag.

Best thing to do is hit both side by side and see which works best for you.

I would nominate the Cleveland Monster xls driver.  Incredibly long and very forgiving.  I have been hitting the Diablo edge and just can not get comfortable with it. It is relatively forgiving, but I just can't get the distance out of it that I get from my Monster or even the old G5........Hit a friend's Wilson Smooth recently....that is a nice, simple looking driver and it is both forgiving and long in my hits with it!   It can also be had for a song these days.  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.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
