King Cobra F Speed LD 10.5 degree with a regular flex shaft...and i love it :). I used to slice before the cobra. This then turned into a fade when i got the cobra and since I have changed my swing slightly, I play a slight draw with boring ball flight :)

Nicklaus Dual Point.

I use a Nicklaus AirMax 430-S. I went to my local golf shop to have my swing analyzed (and probably laughed at). He recommended three drivers without telling me what they were. He taped the heads and had me hit them to make a decision. I forget what the 3rd club was, but I didn't like it at all. The two left were a Nike driver that was $499 and my Nicklaus which was on sale for $199. I honestly couldn't tell the difference in swinging them, so my choice was simple. As my swing improves (accuracy/control) I will step up to something else.

In my (looking for a new cart bag):

r7 SuperQuad!

I was never able to hit a driver until last year. I bought an r7 quad from somebody on eBay and loved it, but I lost it this Spring to my 17 year old son in a bet.

I went back to eBay and tried an r7 460, which I also liked, but I was really hitting it too high.

I just went back yet again to eBay and picked up the SuperQuad. I adjusted it for a low draw and played last weekend. I'm hitting it straight with lots of roll. All I can say is AWESOME!

Mizuno MX-500 with aldila nv65 stiff shaft.

Since putting it in my bag, I've gained an average of 15-20 yards off the tee.

I think alot of that gain has come from finding the right shaft as for my swing.

I use to have a Taylormade 580XD with stock Taylormade stiff shaft which performed well but tended to balloon my drives and produce more spin. End result was usually on the fairway but around 260-270 yards when I know I have the ability to crank it out there 270+.

With the new driver and shaft combination (shaft: aldila nv65 stiff) I am launching the ball lower and with less spin. The end result has been 15-20 yards further down the fairway. ;)
