Anti-hook, low spin driver

Recommended Posts

Search is on for a driver best suited to me. Currently playing a JDM TM SLDR with Matrix OZIK 7m3 xflex. When I'm on with it, its pretty good, but I think I might be missing the boat a bit with forgiveness. I'm 6'2", with about 110 SS, with several more mph on standby when needed and a pretty good transition. Getting a little older (late 40's), but still play pretty well, maybe 2-3 handicap. Being a baseball player in my younger days, I always found my miss to be left, and sometimes get a case of the snaps. I'm guessing something low spin and anti left, if it exists. G400 LST? Epic SZ? M3 440? I'm open to suggestions. I'd of course prefer something used to keep cost down, and keep the wife happy. Thanks in advance.

Rogue SZ, kuro kage XD... I have some of these same characteristics and this combo for sure helps. However, as Automatic2down says, tempo is a factor on those also.

You didn’t mention the newest products... which would be flash SZ and F9 which are remarkable Drivers!

 

If you search older models...

 

XR16 pro or even SZ, 816 alpha DBD, the original M2 was a pretty good driver too, so is the F6+

 

all that said, as you know, shaft is key!

Thanks for all the replies. Definitely wasn't looking for swing advice, lol . I'm the "busiest retired guy in th world", so beating balls at the range is likely not going to happen. That being said, I'm a former +2.5, and was fortunate enough a few years back to pass my P.A.T. on my one and only try. I've got a wife, 4 kids, 2 dogs, 2 horses, 5 acres, and 2 jobs to keep me away from the game I love....but I'll give it my best on the course in season.

Best drivers I've found to date for me are: Adams 9015d, Cobra hs9x, and the PING i15. Dating myself a bit, obviously.

I'd really like to try something used to keep the wife happy. Thinking about the g400 LST. Cobra LTD pro seems like a good, cheap option.

Taylormade drivers will have the least amount of draw bias of anyone. M3 or M5 would do the trick. And if you want to make sure of the face angle go Tour issue. You can buy heads for $400 brand new in M3 tour issue. I'd much rather have a year old Tour head than the most recent retail one.

 

 

I get the idea the OP is talking about spending about $150 for the whole golf club.

TS3 with weight in the toe and the adapter set to fade.

 

I play a high draw, set this way it became a high fade!

 

Put the adapter back to neutral and now I kill it straight as a laser beam!

 

Oh. If you want to keep price down, Cobra LTD Pro. Set to fade. Great antileft driver.
