So this spring ordered a TM stealth 2+ with a Ventus VC blue 6s.... Didn't really care for it

Just ordered 2 different drivers

1) Mizuno STX 9.5° stiff mit shaft

2) titlest tsr2 9° nemesis shaft

Anybody gaming any of these? What are your thoughts

I'm the wrong guy to answer.

Since Spring I have had -

Ping 425
Cobra LTDX
Titleist TS3
Cobra AeroJet (great driver)

And now the Titleist TSR2 with a GD DI6 Shaft.

Never hate on gear junkies cause I’m one myself. But thank the lord i don’t go through irons or drivers like guys like bopper. Im already a head case and switching gear as often as some do would make me go crazy. I buy a new driver and wedges about every 2 years. Irons can go from 2-5 years. I’ve hit most of those drivers and honestly they’re all imo interchangeable as long as you have the right shaft. I’ll say that stealth 2 has been a big dude this release. That aerojet and tsr 2-3 are ball speed monsters. That ping and Callaway are some of the most forgiving and accurate. Underrated imo is that Callaway Triple Diamond this year.

So easy to tinker with drivers. Been playing a lot more this year, and I ended up upgrading my whole bag from 12-14 year old stuff.

Driver, started with a Titleist 910D2.

My brother got a Srixon ZX5 and I tried it but didn’t love it.

Then I late night eBay bought a Callaway Epic Speed LS. Played one round, not a fan at all. Felt like I was hitting rocks.

Bought a Ping G425 Max with a Tensei AV Orange shaft about 3 weeks ago, and I really like it.

Still thinking about pocketing a stack of Club Champion gift cards at Christmas and go all out for next year.

That's why I got fitted club champion, had a really good experience there. I like their fitter. Seemed to be thorough and really no stuff

I got fitted this March and bought the TSR2 with the Fujikara Ventus Blue shaft.

I fricking love it, way less spin and longer than my old RBZ.

I picked it over pretty much all the other top brands, I even liked the TSR2 better than the TSR3

Jumped from TM M6 to Callaway Epic back to Stealth 2+.

It hits bombs but the misses are pretty wild. Guy I get lessons from said it’s basically the most unforgiving driver on the market.

Going to make one last ditch effort on new shaft but will likely dump it.

Thinking I’ll try Titliest for the first time. Maybe PING.

I've had mine for about a year and a half and love it. Find it very forgiving the only negative is the sound it makes when striking the ball. The new 430's don't have that clicky sound.

Only one round with the TSR2, so far so good.

I will say the Cobra AeroJet may be the best driver out. Long and forgiving.

I was not a fan of the Cally Paradym.

No doubt it's the most forgiving driver on the market and the 430 is the same.

To maximize its distance, you really have to dial in the right shaft.

But if you want to hit more fairways, there are none better.

Brother, I think this round of getting new gear has broken me for awhile.

It was exhausting, but I believe that I have picked out what will work for me a long time.

I have an old cobra bio cell that is 10 years old and am very close on pulling the trigger on the 425. Everyone I talked to loves it and it has great reviews.

I used to. It was fun. Now that I found a head I truly hit well, I have moved on to shafts since it's so easy to change out now. The most recent, Ventus blue 65R, has been money, so I may be done for a while. Although, I really would like to try the red.

I was fit for a Titleist TSR2 back in January, and I was tinkering with shafts for it this spring. I put in a Ventus TR Red 6S and it's been consistent, but I feel like there's another gear I'm missing out on.

Tried a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond with the heavier weight in the back and it's been in my bag for the past month. I've got a 10.5° cranked up to 11.5° and am hitting some absolute bombs with it. This is the first Callaway lower spin driver that I've been able to hit well.

Bopper - do you use the same shaft in each of those listed?
