Hey guys. Glad to be a part of the forum! I'm a somewhat new golfer that has too many really good clubs. I have four drivers and I'm only in need of one. Only issue is, I don't know which one to choose from! I hit them all about the same, but I want the club that'll be best for my long term advancement of this game. The one that'll give me better distance and better for improvement. These are the four drivers. I will probably sell the other three along with my ping eye black dot irons and get some adams golf hybrid irons. Not sure yet.

Anyways, here's the drivers:

Tour Edge Exotics - Fujikura 360 shaft
Callaway Hyper X - Fujikura shaft
Ping Si3 forged titanium - Ping Si3 shaft
Titleist titanium 975D - Ultralite shaft

The titleist is probably my least favorite because it doesn't have as big of a head as the others, and it's a bit of an older model.

If anybody could, I'd like to get the pros and cons of each club. I figured this would be a good place to go.

The Titleist 975 will be better for improvement - that smaller head will keep you from swinging like a maniac.

I also have a 975D and I pull it out when I start to have driver issues. One round with the smaller head usually seems to get my driver back on track.

Of those four, I'd probably choose the Callaway, in my opinion it's the easiest to hit.  Tour Edge is very popular for the Exotics fairway woods, but I've heard mixed reviews on the drivers.  The Ping and the Titleist are both older divers with smaller heads making them somewhat harder to hit.

If possible hit all four on the same day at the same time and see which one you hit the best... it may be beneficial for you to hit all four on a launch monitor also so you can compare some numbers.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
