suggestion: go to a store and hit lots of different drivers, buy the one you like.

In all honesty, every driver from every major club manufacturer is a perfect fit for somebody, and most good golfers can probably play most clubs.

Without knowing alot more about you as a golfer (swing speed, distance, swing tendency) as well as the reason for you to consider replacing your current driver (slice, fade, hook, ball flight, etc.) all you are going to get is what driver the person either has or drools over.

So with that in mind, I really like the new Nike Convert and the new Ping G25.  In addition to that, I have read that Titleist's 913's get rave reviews, Taylor Made's RBZ is supposed to be rocketballz'ier.

In the end, every driver has a COR of .83 and is made of titanium and graphite.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I have an older Cobra S2, really like it but I'm looking at the Nike Convert. I hit the s&!t out of my friends new Convert at the range. Really like the look at set up, gives you a feeling of confidence, easy the hit and the ball jumps off the face. I don't believe the hype but it is a nice driver, give it a try.

Not trying to bash the club or anything, but I've read about a number of quality control issues regarding the Covert. If your interested in the club, I'd say do a little research regarding it.

That said, I'm in the market for a new driver as well, I like my 9064ls a great deal...just kind of looking for something new, preferably with a lower launch. At the top of my list, is the Cleveland Classic Custom XL, Adams Super LS, and Cally Razr Fit Xtreme.

In the Ogio Chamber Cart Bag w/ Ogio X4 Synergy Push Cart: Driver: Adams Super LS 7.5* w/ Harrison Striper H2 60x Fairway: Adams Tight Lies 16* Fairway Wood w/ Harrison Mugen Black 70x Irons: Adams Idea Pro Black CB1 Irons w/ Project X 6.0 Flighted Steel Shafts (3-PW) Wedges: Yururi Raw Gekku w/ Project X 6.0 Flighted Steel Shafts (53, 57, & 61) Putter: Never Compromise Gambler Straight Ball: Srixon Z-Star/Z-Star XV Tour Yellow GPS: Garmin Approach G6 Shoes: True Linkswear

Funny that you mentioned a Superfast burner driver because I bought one, played it once then got rid of it because it was too light for me. I picked up the Taylormade RocketBallz adjustable driver last week for $149 and love it. It's a little heavier than the Superfast so I think that's why I can hit with this one.

I was a big Callaway fan until I tried a Taylormade. I'm not going back because these drivers are so easy to hit.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
