Hey guys,

Im new to the site, and this is my first post.

Recently, i've begun to get a lot more serious about playing, and this summer I'm looking to play a lot.  I replaced my irons last summer, and now the hunt for a new Driver begins.  I've been playing a Taylormade r5 for the past two-three years.  It was given to me.  I'm now ready to replace it, and I've narrowed the search down to three clubs.  I'd like to stay with Taylormade because I'm obsessive like that, so now Im looking at the:

r9 - used

Burner Superfast 2.0

Rocketballz

If anyone has any insight to these three clubs, I'd like some help.  I'll be going to golfsmith with my r5 for a fitting and compare the results of the new club to how I hit my r5.  But that wont be for two weeks so obviously I need something to hold me over until then, so talking about it will have to do!

I went from hitting the Cleveland HiBore 10.5 degree to a Rocketballs 9.5. I LOVE my old driver but im crushing the RBZ driver. Also i went from a regular flex to stiff and im fading the ball maybe 10 yards.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for something new

When I drive the ball it gets up in the air a lot more than I like to the point where I think I'm losing yardage.  Is that a sign that I may need a 9.5 loft instead of the 10.5 I have now?

Maybe, but shaft is a bigger factor in ball flight. Check out the numbers, though, to be sure that a lower flight will indeed give you longer drives.

Personally I hit the Callaway FT-3 Fusion Neutral Flight with 9 degrees of loft... TaylorMade makes some good drivers... They're a heck of a club... personally never owned one though... I have hit the r9 and the Burner SuperFast 2.0... They seem to jump off the face a little better than let's say what I'm hitting... Personally I'd go with the SuperFast because the face is a little hotter and you don't have to swing as hard to hit the hell out of it with the 46" shaft

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
