When I bought my driver I tested 3 Cleveland Launcher 460, R7 460 and the Nike Sumo (not square one) Hit about 20 balls with each and the Nike was farther and straighter than both 18 out of 20 balls. Not sure if your interested in the nike but the taylor made would have been my second choice.

Unless you are wanting to change brands, I'd consider a Cleveland HiBore XL. I've found it to be very forgiving. Most reviews, including the review on The SandTrap , agree.

I'm with Aquacooled. I also carry the r7 425 and am loving it. It did take me a few weeks to get used to it, while also learning to swing better with a driver... and right now i'm hitting them fairly straight with a slight draw to about 270 on average.

TM's are nice, but I found them to not be super forgiving. Callaway IMHO, has the most forgiving clubs, but they can be ugly at times. I'd look into some TM's, maybe the Nike Sumo, and maybe some Titleist drivers.

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
