I am a shorter golfer who struggles with distance, i have a slower swing speed around 65-75 mph, and i need an upgrade on my driver.

I was looking at the Lynx XMD driver

Nike Dymo SQ or regular

but i will take any suggestions

also, i am looking to get matching woods, so if you have any suggestions please help!


Here's a review on the Nike Dymo

Also check out the Nickent drivers. There inexpensive and perform awesome in my opinion.

Which model of Nickent do you have? I have a Hyperforged from ~ 2004. The head is okay I suppose, but the shaft is complete garbage.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.


Well, what's your driver, what shaft is in it, and why do you need an upgrade?

The Dymo Squared is a great driver -- it's in my bag.  I assume the non-square is good too.  And you can probably get either inexpensively - I think I saw it at Dick's for $99.  A golf-specific shop might have it cheaper (don't tell Rocco).

I ask about the shaft because you might prefer to swap out for a lighter shaft - Mitsubishi makes some really light ones - and that might help with distance. (Edit:  I wrote "cheap shaft" at first instead.  No idea why)

I also ask because, with a swing speed of 65-75, you might contemplate amateur flex instead of regular.

Finally, you might benefit from some of the exercise threads on this board to increase your swing speed.

"You think you're Jim Furyk. That's why your phone is never charged." - message from my mother

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter. 

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Thanks everyone, i wound up getting the Callaway FTiQ with a lite flex 60 gram Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki shaft (thanks shindig), i choose this over the Nike because it has the same square head, and i hit it slightly farther, also, it was a little cheaper, so i decided to buy this club.

    • Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
