I am thinking of purchasing a new driver, and want an EXTREMELY long driver. I was thinking brand name clubs, such as Callaway, Cobra, Nike, Titleist, Srixon and so on. I am left handed and it is difficult for me to demo/find clubs to try so I am really going on reviews. I have a 90-95mph swing speed and am thinking a stiff shaft, with 9* to 10* of loft on it.

With the FT-5 I am currently demoeing, i get a huge amount of spin, which results in ballooning. I am looking for a high flight, low spin drive. I don't mind if it goes straight, just long.

If possible, I would try to get fit for a driver. At least you can get info on spin and launch angle, etc from a decent launch monitor. I like my Titleist D2, but I wouldn't call it extremely long. The longest I've seen hit in person was a Hybore XL, but it was a big kid and a good player who was swinging it. However, he was a bit longer than when I had previously played with him.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
