I used a Knigh n-tec driver that I bought at a department store last year. I was driving the ball farther and straighter that a friend that had a Nike ignite driver. This year I have an upswing driver. I haven't been able to use is yet.

I'm actually afraid to use Callaway drivers because of the way the shaft is drilled straight through the hosel to the bottom of the clubhead--I've broken two drivers because of that, and if I was demoing a club and it broke...well, I'd get stuck with the bill, and that wouldn't be fun.

The Ben Hogan company is owned by Callaway. I played the CS3 Driver myself last season. At the end of the season there was a ratteling sound coming from my driver like something had broken off in there.

I called Callaway Customer Service and they said they don't have any CS3's left in stock and are going to ship me out a brand new Big Bertha 460 for no charge!!! That is what I call service! I don't think you have to be scared that you are going to get stuck with the bill with Callaway.

I've used Callaway since 1990. Played the original BB till two years ago. Had a brief foray into the R7 fad that was a disaster but quickly switched back to an FT-3 which I'm extremely happy with. If you can pick it up and crush it straight ahead why hit anything else?

As you can see I have the Adams BTY 4350 10.5 with the ProLaunch Stiff. I've grown to trust this driver. It doesn't hit as far as my previous driver Mizuno MP1 9 degree, but I hit more fairways. I do tend to push my drives but it's better than duck hooking, which was the reason for the change.
I'm looking at the Adams XTD a3, not sure about the box drivers but I want to start winning those long drive competitions again. lol.

Been using the FT-5 and don't see any new driver that gets me to want to switch. It seems like a down year in driver innovation? I haven't felt the buzz . . . some lines line Nike and Calloway are much the same.

Am I missing some hot new drivers?

FT-5 here as well. I've used TM R5 Dual for awhile then my buddy bought TM R7 425 and FT-5 at the same time. He used both drivers for 1 round and he said he hated the FT-5 sound.

I tried it and loved it. To make it even better, when I tried to buy it from him, he ended up give it to me as a birthday present!!!

I was able to go down south and use my Burner for the fist time last week. It's the normal version, so I understand it still has a slight draw basis. All I know is that when I swung hard it went high, deep and drew about 10 yards consistantly. A normal good drive with my old driver (Mizuno MP-100) would draw about 5 yards. I'm not sure if my Burner hits it any further than my MP-100, but it is more forgiving.

Wait until you hit the Hi bore XLS---its a new kind of animal

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

    • A list with both Airborne and Goonies.......   I think a list of 5 is very difficult Shawshank is definitely on the list Boogie Nights (This is a great film, but Really tough to omit PT Andersons other work . so I would need to include Magnolia and There Will Be Blood. And if we are being honest Daniel Day Lewis had a hell of a performance in There Will Be Blood. Actually if you watch There Will Be Blood and then Phantom Thread, you get to see DDL perform at 2 very different characters at opposite ends of the spectrum) No Country for Old Men Godfather (GodFather 2 may be the better film) Good Fellas (I might argue that Casino deserves as much love as Good Fellas, it is simply a great gangster film) Usual Suspects Saving Private Ryan (but Spielberg has made so many great movies) L.A. Confidential Almost Famous (This is one of my personal Favorite films, ever!) Modern Times (an almost perfect silent film made as the talkies were taking over)
