Recommended Posts

King Cobra, very first one that was light grey head, 10.5 deg stiff graphite... For some reason couldn't get it up more than 3 feet LOL.

Integra C2,for some reason didn't jive with me either.

Pretty much all Callaway drivers (ironically named RFX as probable #1 or #2 currently).

Hit many, many drivers and there were many others that I didn't care for, I definitely hated them two above LOL

Sldr! I know it gets a lot of love especially on tour, for me it's the most horrible thing I have ever hit. Ever

Ping g20. Likely was the shaft but that was the worst performing driver I've ever used. First round I used it was a scramble and I opted to use a partners from the 11th hole on. Yikes.

I'd say Nike Covert 2.0 Tour, I couldn't get the ball off the ground with that one.

Has something to do with something besides the actual head I'd say. Look at what you're hitting now. It's one of the best feeling heads I hit in 2014 and it didn't happen until the end of the year.

Yeah, I already played i20 and had the MP-650 (you should try that for feel ;) ) as a backup, neither being the most forgiving driver yet I couldn't hit the Nike to save my life. Maybe it was the stock shaft, maybe the head. It just didn't suit me at all and thus, for me, it was the worst driver I've ever hit. Am I saying it's a bad driver? No way. :)

Two stick out for me;

Mizuno MP600 - numbers on the range were great for me, but when I received my order it was garbage - Consistently 20 yards shorter than my 510tp.

TM Superdeep TP - bought this to replace good old 510tp but even putting the old speeder 757 with stock taylormade graphics in it, it was useless for me. It was almost laughably bad, even on good shots!!

Both looked fantastic but I couldn't hit them worth a sh*t. That 510tp took a LOT of shifting out of the bag and I've still got a couple as backups - current gamer still isn't as long, just more consistent..

P i15 and it is not close

I loved that thing! It just had the wrong shaft and I traded it for the i20.

Any thing in the Ping g series after the g10. The I series stuff is good. G30 just tops it off, that thing is garbage

I am a ping junkie, but i fight the slice at times. Probably a good driver for some, but for this guy it was terrible.

That's a bold statement.

Yeah I know, that's just how I feel. Some people really like them, but couldn't get use to the feel and they spin so much. Just like people don't like the r15 but for my swing its the best thing I could get. Not trying to bash but the op said worst driver you have hit.

I loved the Callaway C4! Funny how people feel so differently eh? and my vote would go to the original Callaway Diablo. Owned the thing for about a week and I'm not sure I hit one shot that didn't snap hook with it.

Cleveland Hibore XL. Just terrible. Whenever I tell people I hated it, they are appalled because they love it.

Some of the older cobra stuff. Like a few years ago. Cannot remember the specific name, but they were LOUD. Ive blocked cobra - havent hit a cobra since.

Back in 2003 or 2004 I had a King Cobra SS 350. I loved that thing. I was in high school then and half our golf team had one. Come to think of it its still at my parents house somewhere.
Regarding the worst ever Id say the Cleveland Launcher from a few years ago. I hated that thing. I bought it because it came with a free 3W.

Aside from the Dunlop Centrus that came in my first set (I did hit a 347 yard drive with it, though), the worst driver I have owned was a Tommy Armour 845. I bought the driver at Dunham's for 4100 in 2003. I assume it was a 2001 or 2002 model (410 CC). It had absolutely no feel and the shaft was aful (that's why I'm leary of judging the driver since I'm pretty sure the shaft wasn't right either). BTW, I took up the game in 1998 (just after high school) and have only been out maybe 30 times total so my experiences can't match others on here.
