Hey everyone,

I am looking to piece together my own bag so I no longer have to share (my first word was "mine").

I have decided to get giga irons but now I need to decide on what driver I want.

I have been looking around for a driver for my bag.

A few that have caught my eye have been the old Nike Machspeed black and the Cobra s3 adjustable.

I know that I want a more modern own because I demoed an r11 on the course this weekend and holy crap!

When I hit it right on my drives flew 30-40 yards further than my budget driver that I am using now.

I really need a new driver!

I would prefer to get an adjustable one.

Are the r11's really so good that it would be worth saving a little more to get a used one of these instead of those aforementioned?

I am open to any suggestions, looking to spend around 150.

What would you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Yes there is a DFS (fitting system) version available, along with the Standard edition.

It's a very long driver, highly recommended.

Thanks for all the advice guys,

I am torn between the Nike Machspeed/VR, Cobra s3, and the Adams 9064LS.

I will only buy them if they are new or a minimum of excellent condition.

Also, I am choosing solely among adjustable drivers, is this a good idea?

Absolutely! some will say it's a crutch but they are uneducated.

An adjustable will allow the club to grow with you.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
