Need some Help?

[CoryMartin]

Well yesterday I ended up breaking my Dunlop DDH II Driver that I got for Christmas. It was pretty cheap but I needed a new driver pretty quick. Tomorrow I am going shopping for a new driver and need some help. I am going to want to get a pre-owned club. Somewhere in the $40 to $80 range. Some stats: Old driver was regular but was super flexible. I hit the 5iron 175, 7 iron 155, and my old Driver about 240 or so. Any help on some suggestion would help. I will be going to the Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy and Academy in McKinney/Plano area. Thanks ahead of time.

I don't know if you already bought a new driver but I have just recently put my R11 in the back up bag and pulled out my old Ping G10. For me the Ping is far more reliable when my swing is just so-so. I bought it used at Golfsmith for $75, new grip $4 and added a little lead tape to the bottom. When buying used you get so much more club for your money and you don't feel as guilty spending the cash. You also don't feel the need to sell or trade in your old club and can afford to have a really nice backup.

I went and tried out a few clubs. I really like the Adams Golf Speedline? Driver but I actually got a nice Ping G5. It's taking a little getting use to but my good shots are very good! I also like the noise that comes off the face when the ball is struck. I went with 9* a little low but I prefer to roll the ball (my home course is VERY downhill on a lot of shots). Thanks for suggestion though!

You just can't go wrong with a Ping.

I mentioned adding a little lead tape to the bottom because my G10 felt too light compared to my R11. I also think that the stock Ping graphite shafts are quite nice.
