I still use my stock Taylormade R9 460 driver that I got when it was released, and I prefer it to the SLDR and R1. Anybody else use an older model driver and prefer it to today's offerings?

I have had 3 late model drivers & have the most confidence in my 2009 Nike Dymo with upgraded shaft.   Nothing wrong with using few years old gear  - I recall even Iacas has said there's not that much difference in todays drivers compared to a few years back.

I'm playing a Ping G15, which I believe was released in '09. Works fine, no reason to change. I also had a G15 fairway, decide to replace with the new G25. G25 is a nice club and I really like it, but I did just as well with my older G15, no real difference for me. Maybe it's better to just find something that works and stick with it.

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

I got the 910 last year. As long as the shaft works for my swing, I am not going to change any time soon. The shaft is key IMHO.

Still have my R-9, I swap out shafts at times depending on several things. I have a RBZ in regular, a Project X in 5.5 and a Matrix HD Radix 6 in stiff, all cut down to 43.5.

Bought a Callaway Razr Fit and tried a few shafts but I didn't like it nearly as much ass my R-9.

One of my favorite drivers is still the TM R7 425TP, which is now at least 7 years old.  It's shafted with the same Motore as my R11, and when I hit this driver well, it's every bit as long and actually feels quite a bit better.  The only thing I really notice is forgiveness on off-center hits.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
