What do you mean? They don't have an M2 or it's not under 200?

I've seen bins of used M2s going for 120 at my local stores

I’ve made decent choices in my life up to this point where I don’t have to engage in ghetto behavior like that

I have G drivers and M2 16, and the Callaway Fusion is the best I am playing right now. When I am on with it, i hit every fairway. I use the 12 gram weigh(heavy) and have it cut to 45 inches. The 12 gram weight really makes a difference.

Bag is in overhaul mode

Callaway GBB Fusion (2015). The heavy comes in 44.5” and a 12g head weight instead of the standard 5g weight. It is a great driver that pushed the PING g30 out of my bag.

 

As others have said, PING g or k line of drivers will fit the bill as well. The k won’t be a long hitter by today’s standard.

 

M2 didn’t work for me but M4 is a fantastic driver but I’m not certain you could find one for less than $200.

> Not a TM Aeroburner either! Im a 19 HC and I find my mishits to be punishing, usually going 3 miles to the right of my target.... Im waiting for the prices of the M3/4 to drop. Used my friends M3 the other day and wow what a straight hitter!!

 

The M4 will be more forgiving than the M3 but both are way more forgiving than the Aeroburner. My buddy has one and if he misses oh man he's dropping 2 and hitting 3.

I'm a beginner, no handicap yet player also and I just got the Callaway XR Speed from Dicks Sporting Goods for under $200. I gotta say, I am hitting them straight and long. It is a brand new club and looks good behind the ball also. I also think that the right shaft has a lot to do with it. I've tried other drivers at a demo day at my local pro shop and tried all of the big name drivers from Taylormade, Callaway, Mizuno, Ping, Cobra, and Srixon. The Srixon came close but what I noticed most was the feel of the shaft. Two shafts felt great to me, Hazardous and Evenflow. The XR Speed comes stock with a Hazardous and you may find that it fits you also.
