Looking for a mid priced driver - Updated
Posted on 5/17/19 at 5:53 pm
Posted on 5/17/19 at 5:53 pm
Want to replace my Cobra. It's old and not very forgiving at all. I'd like to keep it under $250.
It seems most drivers over the past few years are very forgiving and have good distance. Big benefit off the tee.
I tried out a buddy's M2 last weekend on just one tee shot. That was enough to tell me I need to update. Seemed easy to hit.
Any recomendations? Want something with good forgiveness and distance of course.
Thanks.
Update:
Just got back from Golf Galaxy
Ended up with the Ping G400 w/ the Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Silver Dual-Core x-stiff. Have it set to about 8*.
Was wondering if this is a good shaft. Guy said it would help with lowering my launch angles and spin a bit. Seems mine was a bit high.
I HATE hitting in those rooms. I can't hit worth a damn in them. Will be playing a round tomorrow so I'll report back with real course play opinion on the driver.
Thanks for the replies and help. Hope I just didn't spend $320 for nothing...

Go on eBay and find a decent 2016 M1 or M2 or a Callaway GBB Epic.

Golf balls.com has a great trade in rack. You can find some great deals there.

Touredge EXS is your answer

its $300 but worth every penny

You need to look at one of the new(er) Cobra drivers. They’re hot and forgiving

I've got the F8 and it's a legit hammer. Best driver I've hit.

Couple of suggestions from My Golf Spy:
Ben Hogan Golf Company
Tour Edge Exotics
They released their Most Wanted Driver Review for 2019, so you can reader how there as well (Broken out by swing speed)

I was just fitted for a whole new bag and when it came to driver, I hit every driver they had (told them price wasn’t an issue) and I ended up with the Tour Exotics driver. Bought the 3 wood too and it’s the hottest 3 wood I have ever hit. Damn near as long as my driver.

CBX 3 Wood? Best fairway metal you can buy currently.

I have the EXS 3 wood and Driver, so not the CBX but I have been impressed with the performance of both clubs. I’m all about sound with my driver, it’s strange i know, but if it doesn’t sound good when I hit it, I won’t hit it. I used to swing the Nike Sasquatch and I couldn’t take it out of my bag until I found the EXS driver. I went through a TM and Cobra and sold them both and kept the Squatch until I bought the EXS.

My buddy had one for years and I always thought it sounded like a softball bat

Do yourself a favor. Spend the extra money to get a hot melt in it
