Taking with most guys when they change drivers most seem to discard there old driver, over the years I have tested many brands of drivers and ones I bought tend to still use from time to time as I kept all my big sticks, guess as new Tec knowledge come with new drivers we all look at the latest on market, myself no exception. so over the last years my collection has grown to the following =

Greg Norman Cobra Driver (1992 model) Good for 200yds.

Callaway Big Bertha  10.5 Mid 90 model 

Callaway Diablo Edge 10.5

Callaway Razr X 10.5

Cobra Bio Cell Adjustable

Taylor Made RBZ HL 12 deg

Ping G25 Adjustable

Cleveland GC Custom Black

Tour Edge Bazooka 460 Black

Titleist 915D2

Taylor Made Aeroburner Black 10.5 

Out these drivers the Aeroburner is the longest and the Cleveland the most forgiving and consistent club off the tee. Give your feed back on driver's. Cheers Good golfing for 2017 to all.

James I am also retired, but cost of drivers over a 25 year period only work's out at about $130 a year so really not expensive when you think you spend easily $130 on balls a year and they consumables and not retained value, happy golfing. Cheers.

Nice collection.  With my iron collection and your driver collection we could open a store!

I have a lot of older wooden woods and a few newer ones.  The old ones are Ping (Eye2 and ISI) and I hit them pretty good for old woods.  I also have some old McGregor and Spalding woods.  My newer ones are Callaway Big Bertha's.  The newest one I currently game is a Callaway Diablo and its not the newest thing out there but it works for me.

I see you like to mix it up and are not 1 brand loyal... thats good.

Driver: :callaway: Diablo
Woods: :callaway: Big Bertha 2 & 4
Irons: Miura MC 102's 3 - PW & Mizuno MP 67's 3 - W

That is quite a collection, you can almost open up your own used golf shop haha.

I currently play a G30 LS-TEC, and still have my older G15 as a backup

Just curious why you have the Titleist 915 in your signature rather than either of the two listed as either the longest or most forgiving?

I'm guessing that my entire family has less types of clubs than you do. :-D

I use my Ping i25 even though it's not the most forgiving, but my son and I have four drivers that we share. Titleist 910D2, Cobra Bio Cell+, Ping i25. My daughter has Callaway ladies BB and Cobra Fly-Z. My wife has a Callaway Solaire. My son and I tend to have more sets of irons rather than woods etc. We have Ping-i20, Callaway X20, Burner 2.0, Cleveland CG Tour blades, MP-32 Blades, MP-52. He uses the CG Tour blades and I use the MP-52.

My Titleist was purchased prior to getting the aero burner and Cleveland drivers, when I took photo of my bag, actually my bag has changed a bit in last 12 months, need to update it, use the Titleist in summer seem get more run out with it but like the aero burner  in wet months get good distance carry, the Cleveland is great on tight courses when you need placement. Nice to hear you share clubs with family, 6 set irons, I find it hard to change irons, drivers and fairway/hybrids I swap and change for different courses.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
