Cleveland Launcher for me. I have a tendency to hit the ball high so I use 8.5 degrees Launcher 400. I used to use Taylor Made but I started to get really pissed off with new models continually coming out and making my existing club worthless on a trade it. I now have a rule to only buy 2nd hand drivers as most of manufacturers seem to release a new model every year without really changing much of the technology

Tour Burner 9.5 / RE*AX 60g Stiff
Launcher 13 & 17 Fairway / Fujikura Gold Stiff

I've been a Titleist man for quite awhile. I just recently purchased a 907 that is hard for me to get use to. Before that I played a 983K for quite some time. It's hard for me to get use to the "Big" head.

Wow I guess the commercial is right TM is the #1 driver in golf hands down. My R7 quad is 3 years old, I changed the shaft out last year and I put a Harrison Mugen XS in it and this year my avg. drive is 286 yards. I bought a TP weight kit off ebay and I've work out a weight pattern that has worked well for me this year.

i had bought the r7 Superquad a day ago and i loved it. It gives a better pop on impact and also the thin wall technology gives me less rpm on the ball. I paired it up with a stiff ProForce V2 75g shaft to promote even less rpm's with its higher kick point.

Whats in my bag:
Driver: r7 Superquad 9.5 with stiff ProForce V2 75g
Wood: r7 Steel 4 wood stiff stock shaft
Hybrid: 3DX ironwood 3 with stiff Aldila NV Hybrid shaft
Irons: r7 with Project X 6.0 +1"Wedges: 52, 56, 60 spin milledPutter: Rossa Corzina

I have been using 2 lately. I recently purchased a Ping Rapture and really like it. But I can't seem to let go of my trusty Titleist 905T. I just love this club and the feel and workability. But for raw distance the Ping always wins hands down.

What's in my bag?

Hybrid Rapture 21*

taylormade r5 dual neutral weighted.. just got it back yesterday from being reshafted with the aldila nv 65 stiff. LOVE IT .... the flight is a lot better now, much more boring and piercing.. on average a little low but i think i'm just not hodling my wrist-club angle well enough (lagging the club) so when i do hit it well it goes nicely

and i just got a titleist 905r from one of my friends... getting that reshafted with the pink nv 65 stiff so i don't have it on me.. hopefully it'll be great as well

I just got the Nike Sumo yesterday, and I love it. I have only played nine holes with it but I hit 6/7 fairways and also picked up a few yards along with loads of accuracy. I tried the Burner, Sumo2 and also the FT-5 and hit the Sumo farther and straighter then of my other choices.

I have the Ping G-5 12 degree. Understand that up until 8 months ago I was still hitting a Ping persimmon eye two, which probably is what 100cc,and I loved it. Truth be told, people were hitting farther than me. I saw no reason to get a metal wood, what I'm suddenly going to the senoir tour?
My golf partner convinced me I need to go metal, so I did. My clubs are Ping so I went Ping.
Truth be told I hit about fifty yards farther, but of course this fouls up my whole course strategy.

I just went from a Titleist 975D 9.5* to a Calloway BB 454 9* with the NV 65 stiff shaft. So far, so good.

Just obtained a TM R360 Ti from ebay, after using a friend's and really liking the way it felt. I'm just not consistent enough yet to spend a lot of money on a driver. I need to get my groove first.

I use the Nike Ignite 460 10.5* with the stock fujikura regular shaft. The driver wasn't fitted for me but I still get great results. Long and relatively straight. Feels and sounds nice at impact too, unlike some more modern clubs.

I'm a Titleist guy, as well. I've hit the 983 for quite awhile. I just recently picked up a 907D2. I couldn't believe the size of the head. It took a couple of sessions on the practice range to get comfortable with it. This afternoon was the first time I've taken it out on the course. We had a tournament and the wind was howling. I hit balls before we teed off and was spanking the driver. It carried on through the round, as I hit every tee shot well. I think I'm very happy with the new stick. What I also found out was I could tee it low, even with that big head and pound a stinger into the wind. I'm very excited at how straight I was hitting it.

Good to hear, the 983k was appealing to me because of the smaller head size, but now its time to get used to the 460cc and move on, but im not in a rush due to the big price tags.

I picked up mine off of Ebay for a big discount. If you know what you're looking for and are patient, you can get a great deal. I also picked up a Titleist 585 for less than $70.00. I'm very pleased with that purchase, as well.
