Not sure about that. It’s possible that a newer driver head could be more forgiving in a way that helps my shots?

Perhaps. But maybe you’re needing forgiveness would be lessened with a better shaft.

Ping G15.  I have tried some of the newer versions but for my swing I saw no noticeable difference, plus it is not adjustable which this older golfer prefers.

Getting fit is pretty important for sure, and most of us could use all the help we can get that we can afford.

An old PING G5. Dropped it in favour of an Adams Blue 3w as i've fallen out with the PING and i can get away with the 3w on the course i have been playing.

Money is also a big factor at the moment.

Benross. I don't think brand matters at all as long as it's a reasonably reputable brand.

So far I am surprised at the evenness of most of the major brands and that Titleist is the lowest of the majors. I thought for sure that TM with their market saturation would be further ahead than everyone. Also the Ping G400 has me interested in trying it.....

Wilson Staff Triton

My experience in the states has been this....

W/S performs on par with TaylorMade, Titleist, Ping, Callaway -and- it's a better price.

I used a taylormade R540 for a minute. (i still have it actually) but otherwise I've used Titleist drivers for all of the years I've played golf. Their 975J model was one of the best clubs I've ever owned. The 905R was a great club, too.

Callaway Big Bertha V Series. Got a new shaft last year, which has made the driver into a (bigger) strength for me. I very rarely hit drives off the planet anymore. Used to happen once or twice a round.

I have played Taylor Made Drivers since about 1992....until I hit the Callaway Epic. I hit it further and straighter than any Taylor Made I have used. I have found the best driver for me is the Epic Sub-zero. Long and I keep it in play.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

I voted "other" as well as I play a couple different drivers. Got a mutant golf brute head with a house of forged shaft, Callaway xr16 ld with a xphlexxx shaft, and a Krank golf F7 head with their fujikura flywire shaft. I tend to like the Krank the best, Callaway second, and the mutant third.

I added another thread that pairs well with this one. The question is what factors went into selecting your current driver.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
