I chose the Ping G10. I've hit all 3 drivers listed and the Ping, to me, gave me the best results. A little biased I'm sure since I have the Rapture currently...

FT-5 for me, although I bought the regular not tour version. I didn't think much of the 907D2 but thought the G10 was a great club when I hit it but not on a range only into a net with launch monitor.

Titleist 907D2 sounds and feels amazing, don't like the FT-5 to much, and haven't tried the G10 although I want to.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

I have tried them all, I'd pick the G10, actually I have a rapture myself. I'd take the G10, of these, because that is the one I hit most consistent with. The FT-5 was not far behind, but never liked the looks of it.

Best way is to go try for yourself & make your own opinion. It is not like you pick the least worst of 3 shitty drivers because of $ If you have narrowed it down to these 3, I imagine that is just what you have done, so I doubt you will be misserable with either of them. But which one is THE one? That only you can answer I think.

When I made my choose for the driver I narrowed it down to Synchron Medic (dirt cheap, but way up with the rest, might have taken it if it was not so fugly), CG Hibore XL, G10 & rapture. Ended up choosing between G10 & rapture, my own experince & the one from nearly everyone I have talked to is that the G10 is actually more forgiving than the rapture, some think the rapture gives better control of these 2. Only had the rapture a short time, but so far I have no regrets whatsoever.

That said, the G10 & rapture are VERY alike, at least to me when I tested them. On a sidenote here, I have been eyeing G10/rapture & CG1 for my new iron set, between the G10 & rapture there, I actually liked the G10 more, much more. The Rapture set is to be the monster, but it felt the other way around with the irons & hybrids, for me (driver I liked rapture better). What it always boils down to, is that in the end, only YOUR opinion matters when it comes to your own clubselection. I think you will be happy with either one, you have 3 good choices, question is, which one is the best?

I chose the D2, I've had a chance to hit one on the range and play a few holes with it and it was a terrific club, I was able to play the shape I wanted without having to exaggerate my setup like I do with some clubs. It should be said that the shaft seemed to be a really good fit for me, as well, I think that's at least as important as the head. I have the Ping G2 currently and I'm really happy with that club as well, so I would expect a G10 to be stiff competition for the Titleist. Can't say I've tried the Callaway, but I haven't been excited about any of their clubs for a while.

Last year I hit the 905R, the G5, and the Ft-3. All the baby models to these drivers.

I found the 905 a horrible driver, which was very hard to hit and did not feel right. Not sure about the 907

The G5 is a great driver, easy to hit and to me Very similiar to My Sasquatch. Im sure the g10 is similiar

but overall the FT-3 which is maybe similiar to the FT-5 is a great driver. Amazing loud sound. Easy to hit, very forgiving and An absolute bomb.

I've tried all of them. I bought the FT-5 before I tried the D2 or the G10. I like my FT-5 but the large head shape and the hosel is not really attractive. If I had a second chance, I might go with the D2 or the new Tour Burner.

I really like the Titleist...and also would put the g10 a step behind....WHat I love about Titleist drivers is the fact that they put a quality shaft in their drivers...a common shaft for the d2 is the Aldila NV Proto By You---which is a 180 dollar shaft..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I voted G10. I just bought one, traded in a FT-5 I used all last summer. The FT-5 was nice and real accurate, I just think Ping is longer. I had a G2 before the FT-5 and it was longer. I haven't play a round with my new Ping yet, but know it will be similar to my G2 that I loved and a little better if I had to guess. Don't know much about the Titleist.

    • Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.
    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
