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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
