My top 3 are

Nike Flex 440
Ping Rapture (OG Version)
Ping G400 driver



In other news... if anyone has a 440 they're looking to get rid of, let me know!

Recently

A hot melted Taylormade M2

I would like to hit one of the new ping drivers that has been hot melted. I feel like the standard model, hot melted, would maximize forgiveness but the hot melt would keep the ball flight lower.

Back in the day, the change from the Titleist 975D to the 975J really stood out in my mind as a huge step forward in that driver series.

I demo'd the G400 and the launch is pretty low for. G series. Feel is much improved too over the previous G and g30 models.

Edwin Watts got them in on Thursday .Release date is the 22nd I believe. I am a huge fan of smaller driver heads nod this thing looked, sounded, and felt amazing. Ping Rapture was the best feeling ping driver until this one IMO.

I m not a long ball hitter, so I am happy to get 250 out of my 98-101mph SS. I'm not a gimmicky technology guy, but the ping G400 had me swinging above 105mph consistently no aeraging 265-270. Worth taking a look at.

This X1000 but tater if it felt good and you want it, don't let that stop you.

Now that I think about it, I've never hit a Ping driver I didn't like. When this 913 dies, I'm going back to Ping

ETA: Tater get fitted for the right shaft. I've learned in rexent years that it doesn't stop at simply getting the right flex.

Back in the day, the Big Bertha 454 Titanium. Longest driver I ever owned. Got a case of the hooks and traded it in. Regretted it for a long time.

The driver heads on tour are all practically the same in terms of performance. Finding the right shaft, driver head, and ball combination is how some players pick up an additional 8-13 yards overnight.

That is what I've been reading and hearing. I've never played with a Ping driver, but every time I hit one I like it...They just traditionally launch so damn high, so I want to mess around with hitting the 8.5 tour model, or try the 9.0 standard issue with hot melt. I heard someone compare a hot melted Ping G400 to a PXG driver in terms of feel and sound. I think a hot melted standard issue G400 may launch at the lower level akin to the tour issue G400, but you would retain the forgiveness of the standard issue.

I went from a Nike SQ Sumo to a Titelist 915d3. Holy hell. Once I got the adjustment right you just address and swing. Love it.
