What would you guys say is the most forgiving driver? Not longest or anything like that but the one most likely to get you in the fairway.

Any of the squares: Nike Sumo2, Callaway FTi, Nickent 3DX Square.

There also is the Tour Edge GeoMax which is also very forgiving.

As is the Taylor Made Burner Draw, Taylor Made the r7 Draw.

The Ping g5 offset, Nike Sumo, and the new Big Bertha.

I've only had 2 forgiving drivers - Cleveland Hi Bore XL and the New Mizuno MX 560. I'm disappointed that the latter did not get into the silver or gold category in the Golf Digets Hot List 2008.

The one in my sig is the straightest I have hit. Works well for me at least, and flies low.

I've heard amazing things about the Nike Satch and C'Way FT-3 Square drivers.

The new Hi Bore's are great so i've heard. i think its different to everyone. ps: the right shaft choice also adds forgiveness

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
