Ping Tour 75x will handle that swing speed and give you a good boring trajectory.

A shaft that is not mentioned on here much is the Accra.

For high SS Players, the Accras can really deliver a punch with low torque. Really high quality shaft design and materials.

Quite a few Tour guys use them like Finau.

Ping tour 65 and 75 are great Shaft options. The tour shafts are heavier near the tip while the standard versions are counter balanced.

I would say on average i drive about2 30-235. I've tracked rounds that had me at 243, but I know that was because the ground being super hard. I actually had a 309 yard drive in that round (a major anomaly). It was my first and only time to hit 300. I just feel confident with the F9 in my hand.

Had the G410 for a weeks.

Set the weight to fade and adjusted my grip a little weaker than what I’ve been doing and I hit it well 11/14 holes.

Wedge play was in the shitter all day, though:

I spent a day demoing every driver last week.

To me, it was easily the Mavrik. I was surprised. Spin rate was much lower than alternatives.

Prob hottest driver I've ever hit.

*I am not a Callaway fan by any stretch. I anticipated buying the Taylor Made, but the difference was just too big IMO.

Guy at Edwin Watts said SIM is their best seller this year and generally the top performer in the bay FWIW.

Was there with a buddy while he was buying a new driver and he went with the Mizuno instead. Watts guy said its a great driver as well, just no one thinks of Mizuno when they think drivers.

At this point, it's all basically parity and what you like the best at address, sound etc IMO.

For those factors above, M6 was for me. Ping and Callaway just feel odd at address for me and the sound of the Cobra wasn't my favorite.

The Mizuno driver is very underrated as is the Srixon and Bridgestone drivers.

There really are no bad drivers out there unless you count those made for TV Wilson drivers.

I play the G410 and hit a lot of fairways. Is it really better than the G400 with the same shaft ?

I have seen tests on YouTube where the Epic stay right with the Mavrick. Same with Titleist and TM.

The 2016 TM M2 driver that sits a degree open is as good a head for powerful swingers as anything.

Agree with all of this, guy at Watts said the same thing about the Srixon, along with their Irons. Every iron they make is forged and can get a set under $1000.

SIM has been in the bag since it came out but had a G410 Plus with Ping Tour 65 in my office when I got to work to go smack around.

My M6 with twist face is amazing, I hit one last weekend on the heel and I mean the very heel. It somehow stayed in the fairway and I probably only lost 30 yards

I currently have an Epic Flash but I miss my M5 for this very reason. TwistFace is super forgiving on bad shots

It's ridiculous. Long as you don't do something really really stupid, that club is taking you 220 with one hand.

Love mine and hard to see myself changing from TM if they keep it up.

Sounds badass when you really pure one too.

I recently purchased the Taylormade Sim with a Ventus black 7X shaft and it’s by far the lowest spinning and launching setup I’ve ever tried. It is consistently 15-20 yards longer than the Callaway Rogue I was playing.
