just bought a driver ive never hit before...

[quick]

yeah i just bought a driver off of ebay and ive never hit it before.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...8727&rd;=1&rd;=1

right now im using a 2005 cleveland launcher 460 ti with aldila nv65 stiff. i hit it decently but i think the shaft is too lite and not stiff enough. when i hit it with a fast swing, it tends to fly low and then balloon up. thats the shaft right? also the head of the driver is kind of getting old and banged up.

i swung the 907d1 and d2 at a demo day and got fitted for the proforce v2 76 gram stiff shaft. it felt really good swinging the heavier shaft around me and i didn't have to work as hard compared to swinging the 65 gram shaft if that makes any sense.

any thoughts on my new driver and shaft combo? ive heard a lot of good things about the 905r and hope its comparable to the 907d2 which i hit pretty well.

Well I bought a TM Burner without hitting it, I don't regret it.

I bought the TM R5 last night and hit the range on the way home and then out on course today, I love this Driver. I can't speak for your burner but if it's like my R5 you are going to love it. Seems like the balls just love getting in the way of club head. Congratulations on your new member

905R V2 Shaft, saw two @ dicks yesterday one 9.5* the other 10.5* for $200. I have the 9.5* on the range its been amazing, need to figure it out on the course.

I did the same thing a year ago with the 905R as well. I was a little skeptical at first, but I took it in to my pro shop to get see if the Id# checked out and it did. good luck with your new purchase.

i bought my R5TP online. hadn't hit any drivers actually, so i was kinda guessing. lucked out though, i absolutely love the driver. the ball just loves the middle of the face, its like there's some ball magnet or something. the sad thing is that my driver is my most consistent club...

bought R7 425 on eBay, about 180 dollars - best thing i ever bought.

this bad boy got me from a dodgy 6 to a steady 5!

(but to be honest - i wouldn't buy online again - get custom fitted at single figure level)

I bought my Ping G5 without hitting it. Best club in my bag, now...

well i just went to my range and demo'd a 905R with v2 stiff. the only difference is that the demo was a 10.5* and i bought a 9.5*. i love everything about the driver but i mainly think im in love with the shaft. the v2 just feels so much more solid consistent than the nv65. im guessing its the heavier weight and the stiffer shaft and also that its a bore through head. i was hitting it very well and it just seemed easier to swing it. i swung my launcher between swings with the 905R and i can hit it well but i had to focus more worked harder to keep it on plane whereas with the v2, i could just pull it back and rip it down the center.

the big disappointment is the sound of the driver. coming from the launcher 460, the 905R basically has a silencer on it. my launcher was so loud and pingy and if i hit it perfectly hard, it would make such a sweet sound but the 905R sounds more dead and dull. anyone else's thoughts on sound comparison of the cleveland launcher and the 905R?

[williethekid]

I haven't hit the launcher but the hibore I have. Found a similar sound, the 905r is only a little quieter than, but what it lacks in sound it makes up for in feel. I have the 905R with the V2 shaft and 9.5 degrees so I know why you picked that driver, but I didnt think it was too quiet by any means. Sound/Feel give feedback to where you made impact.
