Hi I am looking to get a new driver as have had my Cobra L5v for a few years now. I drive it about 220 yards with a slight fade so am looking for a longer and straighter driver to lower my handicap. My budget is around £150. Thanks for any replies!

I don't know what 150 is in American dollars but ill say this normally where people post what driver is the best because that is what they are playing. I will give you a couple drivers that are a year old and great. -Cleveland 290(460cc) or 310(440cc) if you can find one with an upgraded shaft this is a top notch driver -Adams Fast 12 LS, stock Fubuki or a Black tie and they are the real deal not made for, need I say more -Cobra ZL Encore this is the driver I play and it's a few years old but I still think its the best driver out there, plus a stock real deal Motore is a bonus Those 3 all have real deal, (Classic 310 is a Kullusa 61)not made for shafts which is always a plus

Since your price point is a little lower I presume, I think getting an older model used off eBay would work great for you.  I like the Nike VR_Pro Limited Edition.

If you think Nike makes bad drivers, and want to stay with Cobra.  The first model of the Cobra AMP is cheap, and honestly a great driver with adjustability.

Cobra AMP is a great deal right now on ebay new $130-$150 new. I have had both the adjustable and the offset that I play now. I can tell you that no matter how i hit the ball I am in play 9 out 0f 10 times. I do not hit it far 260 maybe 280 plus with roll if I get lucky and nut it  but what it has done is keep me out of the trees and in the fairways.

It may not be the longest driver on the market but there are a few on this site that use them, all seem very happy with the performace and price..

      90 yards was close enough.

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.

      That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
