Which driver do you use?

[Guest]

Acer (Hireko) Mantara XL w/ YS-6, 46" or a Dynacraft Avatar w/ UST V2, 48"..... including the shafts, cost less than $250 for both, shafts spine aligned and customized. There are very nice brand name clubs, but I like to tinker, and I get to build 'em the way I like 'em, and I hit the component clubs just as well.

Im currently using last years Cleveland HiBore XL 9.5 fit on m gold stiff.

i love it because misshits still go where you want them to, just not as far.

I play an Alpha c830.2 Driver. 7.5* with a Harrison Mugen No Limit s70 shaft custom worked to 290 cfm

I'm sure the other 488 posters that last posted in this thread 3 years ago are playing different drivers by now......

Home made 43.5" Geek DCT Driver 10.5 Not bad for my first try at club making. It can hit some Bombs.

Mizuno.  IMO one of the most underrated companies when it comes to drivers.

I LOVE my JPX 800 Driver, 3 wood and 3 hybrid!

Ive owned the MX-500, MX-560, MP-600 and currently the MP-630 as well are demoing the MX-700 and JPX-800 and Id rate them as being just as good as any TM, Titleist or Callaway driver.

Adams Speedline 9064LS It's a sweet driver, forgiving with a nice boost to my distance.

ping G10, 10.5 degrees, with about 8 strips of lead tape on the back to add to the swing weight.

For me I'd never played a driver and was using a Yonex Nanospeed 3i 3 wood and a TM Burner Superfast 4 hybrid. I then got fit for a driver and tried a few out but the Mizuno was something seriously special for me. I then got fit for the 3W and loved that too so I bought the 3H as well, sold the Yonex and now have a "spare" TM Burner Superfast 4H I'm debating about selling.

I'm actually so impressed with Mizuno I've even toyed with trading in my Yonex VMS irons for a set of MP-59's; it's solely finance preventing me (don't want to rack up a credit card bill)

Right now a Ping G15 10.5* that I reshafted with an Aldila NV stiff shaft. Much better than the stock Ping shaft IMO. Also have an R9 460 as my back-up, which is also a great club. All set for a while.

I am using a Henry-Griffitts Fitted Praxis Driver 9.5 degree

I am surprised at Taylormade's dominance.

I mostly play a Maltby KE4 V with the KE4 V stiff graphite, but I also have an Integra Quadratic with CER 75 stiff graphite. Length for both is 44.5" based on my fitting.

R7 Superquad, upgrading after this season to an R11 or the new one coming out in January if its worth it.

I like the Callaway drivers.

Current one is a bit old - the HyperX Tour model from 2008 - but it still works quite well. 10.5* loft, shafted with the R-flex Fuji E360 (midKick and low-mid torque).

I got it in November 2008 - it won out in competition on the launch monitor against five other drivers, mainly Cleveland HiBore and Ping.

I have tried some new drivers - Callaway RazR X Tour and Diablo / TM Burner 2.0 / Nike VR Pro... and HyperX T still holds its own.

RazR X Tour and TM Burner 2.0 comparable, but Diablo and VR Pro  not as good for me. Hit a TM Burner 2.0 in 10.5* loft, but it took off like a 5-iron. Burner with a 9.5* loft might be better, if someone sent me a gift card.

My driving ability is tied closely to getting in better shape. I need more back flexibility so I don't lose spine angle on downswing - my TPI workout targets this.

Just picked up a Ping G20 10.5 with the TFC Tour X-Stiff shaft.   Went through just about every head and shaft combo.  The X stiff is was the only shaft that brought my spin down right around 3k.   The 9.5 degree had my launch angle right around 9.  So we both thought the 10.5 would work out well as far as getting the launch up a bit.  So far only 9 holes with it, 5 fairways hit.  So pretty happy with it so far.

Cobra S2 but I cannot hit it worth a damn because of a terrible slice.  It is the only club I slice which is frustrating considering my 3w has the same swing plane and goes dead straight or has a slight fade.
