Nickent Evolver for $50 or so on www.rockbottomgolf.com.  You can buy the adjustable hosel on eBay for about $15 (search "CYG"), add a different shaft for different conditions and still stay under your budget. I have a mid launch and a low launch shaft.  The low launch helps a lot when it's a windy Texas day or I just want a lot of rollout in drier conditions.

I would recommend the 09 burner as well, however I just got one for Christmas this year, and the head shattered. I sent it back to TaylorMade almost a month and a half ago and haven't heard anything back from them at all...then again this could be Dick's Sporting Goods problem as well, however I don't believe I will be purchasing many items form taylormade in the future. I would look at rockbottomgolf.com and callaway preowned. Both are great!

In the same place (trying to get a new driver for under $120) and I'm currently eyeing the Ping G15. Also thinking about the Adams Fast 10 and F11. Used good condition for all of those is about $120 or less on eBay.

But you'd still post on this forum, right?

I agree. You could get at least 5 twilight rounds in with that...

Three months ago, I picked up an 11* Callaway FT-iz with Project X 5.0 graphite shaft.

It is straighter and longer than all my drivers (Cobra S2, Powerbilt AFO, Powerbilt WMD)

I only paid $47 for it, so i guess I have $73 to play golf with.....yeah!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.

      Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
