Which driver do you use?

[B-17 Pilot]

. . .I had purchased a set of used Taylor Made Ti Bubble 2 clubs last year and thought that the driver was awesome! (compared to what I had been using for about 9 years) Then I tried the Superquad. . .all of a sudden the 9 year old Ti Bubble 2 was outdated! I think the Superquad is an awesome driver and am very happy with it. With the 460cc head, you can tee the ball up so much higher and it really makes a difference in your distance and accuracy.

Hit em straight!

R7 425CC (I love this Diver, best driver I have ever owned). If you can find one, I highly recommend it.) Before I bought this diver I was so not a Taylor Made fan but this club definitely changed my mind. I know this club is two years old, but i haven't found anything else that I am more comfortable standing over on the tee and results speak for themselves.

Taylor Made R7 460. Came back after trying several others to no avail.

Definitely not a guru, but I firmly believe that if you have a major quality driver, at least 75 percent of the battle is finding the right shaft for you. Looks for me like it is the Pro Launch Graffalloy Blue stiff. Tried the stock Taylor Made and several Aldilas, as well as the Mizuno 560, ended up coming back. Straying was an expensive proposition.

Well, I've persevered with the Titleist 905R now since I got it last July.

It was a replacement for my TM R7 460 as it developped a rattle. The shop I got it from was going to send it to TM for repair/replacement however as I was leaving Australia to move to Dubai 2 weeks later, there was no chance of it returning in time. So, as they had no other 460s in stock, I took a chance on an 905R (with YS6+ stiff) as a straight swap...

Now, the R7 (for me anyway) had an awesome trajectory and a huge flight carry. The 905 however is not so nice - I am struggling with a slice (which the R7 with draw weighting probably hid). When I try and correct the slice, I get this ugly duck hook. Only on occasion do I catch it sweet, and even then, I am convinced its 20-30 yards shorter than I hit the R7.

Would love to go back to TM, thats for sure!!

What's the going rate for an immaculate (no sky marks/chips/scuffs) 9.5 deg 905R with the YS6+ stiff shaft??

I use a TM R7 Quad, with Stiff Shaft. USed is for 1.5 seasons now.

when it goes it really goes, but good with miss hits to.

I played an R7 460 for most of the year last year. Bought it used, though, so a new one may be on order this spring.

I recently switched from my r580xd to the Simpac S-Cube D1 9 lofted driver. No complaints, everything is going straight and 250+.

[HeadCoverLeash]

Adams Redline 460 cc, 47 " shaft 10 degree loft and I love it.

[Eore]

adams rpm 10.5 with a prolaunch blue regular flex shaft-its heading to the basement soon, i'm looking at mizuno, wilson, MacGregor, and MAYBE callaway

[g.fletcher]

I play with Nike SQ Tour, 10.5 degrees. I think it is nice.

I currently use a Taylor Made R7 Superquad and it is without a doubt the best driver I have used in recent memory. I would rank it up there with the legendary Titleist 975D.

[PB1973]

I have four drivers right now.
Pinseeker Ti. 460 10.5 with Graffalloy Prolaunch ps reg.
Cleveland Hibore 10.5 w/ stock fujikura stiff
Callaway Ft-5 neutral 9.5 w/ fujikura 360 stiff
Nickent 4dx 9 draw w/ ust sr3 stiff

I am considering Ft-i versus Ft-5 or TM Burner? Welcome members opinions and experience with the above.

Cheers

I honetly didnt like the Burner. I didnt like the fti that much-but the ft5 is a fantastic driver. It makes a funny sound but it is very forgiving . It also has a great stock shaft in it. Best Wishes

[kiwigold]

Thanks - just returned from the driving range and agree. I also tried the Ping G10 and Rapture. Did not work for me. Ordering the FT5 tonight via the US. Thanks

Yea no problem man. I really respect that you have a passion to find what club is best for you. I wish you all the best with the ft5

I recently (2 months ago) bought a Cleveland HiBore for only $140 sure the XL and the XLS are out but give the original a try and you wont be dissapointed. I tried just about everytinkg there is Nike TM callaway etc, all good clubs, but for the price the HiBore cant be beat... have already won 1 long drive comp at a work golf day with it too

[BASHERBAKER69]

hi

i tried the new Makser 440 driver today-it is very cheap $120 new and goes like a rocket-great value with a great shaft too!
