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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
