If I win our bracket challenge in the office, I'm going to use the money to buy a new driver. My current driver is really old, Callaway Hyper X, and I'm long overdue for an upgrade.

What are your opinions on this crop of new drivers? Pros/Cons?

TIA

My Golf Spy is an unbiased testing service. They are conducting their 2015 tests, but haven't released findings yet:

Golf WRX is also a pretty independant source, but they do have an affiliation with Golf Digest, that that FWIW:

I would never buy a brand new driver that is the current model. Very rarely is there a leap in technology that warrants paying new season prices on drivers when you can save 100 by buying a year old driver still brand new.

As far as what drivers to buy, all the big boys have good ones out. The Ping G30 is pretty badass and easy to hit (for a driver), The Titleist 91x is always a nice driver, Callaway has the Big Bertha back, Nike has the Vapor and Vapor Flex, Cobra has the Fly-Z or something. All of them are good drivers, pick one that fits your swing and looks that you want and go with that.

Spend some extra money on getting a shaft that is pseudo fitted to you, that will be the best bang for your money.

Serious answer, unless you talk to Larry and get some serious horsepower and torque, you're not gonna get much #Nitro out of anything you buy.


I would start doing deadlifts and playing LaTour if I was you

i picked up the G30 with the stock stiff shaft. can't say I have any complaints yet. I've hit the same cobra driver for about 7years and hit it well, but it was time for an upgrade.
Going to play a couple of rounds this week... think i may leave it as is. I hit the regular pro shaft and liked it too. definitely hitting the ball farther...
