Need to replace my driver.

[mjb415]

I'm new to the game of golf and have been playing only a couple seasons. I just invested in some new Taylor made speed blades. I need to replace my driver and woods but am considering going with hybrids for more control. Any suggestions? Also my clubs are extended will I most likely have to do the same with the driver and woods?

I love hybrids. I spent about 3 years saying I didn't want any hybrids. Then I put my ego aside hit a few. Well now I have a 3 & 4 X2 Hot and I couldn't be happier. I also just switched to a 4 wood instead of a 3 wood. I've only played one round with it but so far I think it was a good move. I am able to get it in the air much easier than the 3 wood I had. I hit it off a tee and I only lost around 10 yards from a really good 3 wood (which was rare to say the least).

Since you have Taylormade irons, perhaps the adjustable Taylormade Drivers would suit you. The R1 is a popular example. Some people dont like hybrids, and some do. Again they can be adjustable also. 3 wood is the hardest to hit off the fairway. Perhaps you can purchase it last. If the hybrids dont suit you, that is.

Yah 4 wood would probably be best to start off with. I would also say loft up with a driver around 12 degrees instead of going with a 9.5. The higher loft will reduce side spin and the dreaded slice that people new to golf usually fight. I would also say use maybe a 3 or 4 hybrid instead of your long irons. Hybrids are generally more forgiving and easier to hit than those longer irons.
