Golf Driver question?
Posted on 2/10/12 at 2:53 pm

I had a couple of kids back to back a few years ago,so I kinda got out of the game for a while.
I'm looking to upgrade my equipment;I'm pretty sure which irons I like, but what is the new hot(but affordable) driver these days? I've always had TM drivers,currently have the old R540. Have any of the other brands caught up? Trying to stay under $400
any advice would be appreciated!!

Hit the demo days this spring.If you liked TM gear then try the Burner/Superfast models and see what you hit good. I have never hit the R7/9/11 models well but hit the Burner great.

I tried out the TM last year, ended up buying the Razr Hawk. The best driver Ive ever hit. I love the thing, distance and accuracy.
I love Callaway products. Im hitting the irons too.

I would suggest buying a 2-3 year old Titleist. I have the 905R and Ive yet to find a new driver I like more.

Great driver. Be sure you find something you really like if you're getting rid of that one. I have an R580, but I snapped the shaft in half last summer during a particularly bad swing. I didn't think it was worth replacing, so I got a Titleist 910D3 to replace it.
If you're going to get a new driver, the real answer is to go hit a bunch and make sure it fits your swing. A poster above said he like the Callaway Razr Hawk, but I couldn't stand it. It didn't fit my swing at all, and I couldn't hit well. Everyone is different.

Just demo them all, seems like the shaft length standard today is 46" or longer.

Try out a bunch and be mindful of the shaft offsets, the flight bias, the shaft stiffness and the degree of loft. I have then either bought from the local store (the previous years model or slightly used for $79-$129) or from ebay. All of the brands folks have talked about here are good. I play a Callaway now and love it. One of my sons plays a Cobra for draw and Taylor Made for straight or fade, my other son plays a Titliest and my brother plays a Cleveland. All are good and we are all pretty good golfers.

my suggestion, especially if your not looking to spend for brand new equipment is to get the R11 first model
like 300 brand new
best driver ive ever hit, shoots off the face and its the straightest driver ive ever hit also
i payed 400 for mine and still think its worth it
love that the golf threads are kicking up again!
