I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on a used or closeout driver.  I used to play a lot of golf and was about a 10-12 handicap.  I would normally shoot in the 80s with one round in the 70s.  I just picked the game back up after a 6 year hiatus and the few rounds I've played this summer were somewhere between 90-94.  Currently I have a Titliest 905S 8.5 degrees that I hit pretty well.  My buddy who is a former PGA teaching professional at a well respected private club convinced me that I would benefit from a new driver, even if it were used or a few years old.  I went to a swing monitor and found my club head speed on my driver was averaging about 98 mph.

What are some good drivers that are 3-4 years old?  Should I get a stiff shaft?  I found a used Calloway FT 9 tour neutral that looks practically new for very cheap with a Fuji Z Com Stiff shaft.  Would this be a decent driver for me?  I hit a few TM Rocketballz Tours, R11, and Calloway Razr and they felt much better than my current driver.  Would the FT 9 Tour be a good upgrade?  I can't afford anything I can afford that has come out in the last year or two, even used.

Anyone play a FT 9 these days?  I don't know if it's for low, mid or high handicappers. Thanks in advance.

"very cheap" You bet Callaway never lets me down.

I have seen them used around here as low as $50.00 with no head cover compared to  what your "very cheap" means

Stiff?  I don't notice much difference between stiff and regular.

If you go with the FT-9 you might consider getting the I-Mix version so you can buy different shafts for it.  I've seen them sold on RockBottomGolf for $50 - $75 new and CallawayPreOwned always has some good deals on preowned clubs.

98mph swing is borderline between regular and stiff.  As for the ideal loft, it depends on your swing, shaft stiffness and shaft kickpoint.  There are a lot of variables to consider which is why it's best to get fitted.

    • Day 5- Slow,  short swings with short practice club. 
    • Lemme guess….’ We don’t want any confrontation so nobody says anything.’ Sheesh…..Call him out and fix the problem.
    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
