If you are serious about your game get fit. Find a local place that does fittings don't get fit at Goldsmith, Dicks or Golf Galaxy they don't do a good job. I would recommend Edwin Watts though for fitting they are good. Getting fit is the only way to find your driver, I would bet money you will walk out with something you were not even considering.

I agree with the guy who said the new GBB. I play a 9 with the speeder 665 shaft and love it


Agreed. I use a 913D2 w/ Diamana Blue 62, but the GBB is a long, forgiving driver head and the Speeder 665 Evo II TS is a REALLY good shaft (I use it in my XR16 3 wood).

I just got the M2 and it is by far the best on the market. I hit the new Cobra, the G30 and the Callaway XR before purchasing. If you're a Callaway guy I found the XR to be pretty good, and it's more affordable than the M2.

Also don't waste the extra $100 on the M1. Most of the pros are using the M2, and it is more forgiving so as an 11 handicapper it's better for you anyway.

Definitely not when I'm swinging it, but it got the best numbers on the Trackman when I was getting fitted, and I hit pretty much every new driver on the market

And when the .2's can't, they bump it into the fairway.

I could believe that arguement. I think the shaft and tip are most of the battle. Most of the heads today I'm sure have similar technology so just personal preference I guess.

This. I love their drivers. I play an old K 15 and don't want to upgrade because I rarely miss fairways with it.

It was a different story with my old Cleveland Hi Bore

That's the relationship I have with my 910D3, I could maybe pick up 4-7 yards here or there but that does nothing for me.
