After reading a lot of articles about driver fitting and not having much luck with a consistant drive I decided to go to Golf Galaxy yesterday and talk to a pro. Norm was there with a smile and after telling him my concerns he grabbed a handful of drivers, taped them up and we headed toward the simulator. After some suggestions about tee height, I started swinging. After about 45 minutes we had it narrowed down to 2 drivers, a Cleveland Classic 290 and a Ping g20. I hit them both a few times and it was a no brainer the Ping got the best distance and accuracy. The surprise for me was, I'm 58 years old, 6' 3" and I thought I had enough swing for a Callaway Octane with a stiff shaft, not so. Not only did I get the accuracy I needed but I hit the regular shaft 10 to 15 yards farther. Who would have thunk to ask a pro...I bought the Ping, went to the driving range and it was not a fluke, Norm knew what he was about. Go talk to Norm, he might straighten your game out.....

Where is "Norm"?

You left out the only relevant part of your thread......???

Norm knows

My bad jimdandy, norm knows.....he's at the Tri-county Golf Galaxy, Springdale, Ohio. I have an idea he's one of those guys who'll hit 175 down the middle every time and at the end of the round he'll have you by 20 strokes. I dropped a bag of drivers at a friends house for a yard sale, Titleist, Taylormade, Callaway, and even at HammerX (my throat got sore yelling POW after every drive), this G20 is the real deal. I hit about a dozen balls at work every day, it sure has a good sweet spot. Go see Norm, he knows.
