Your Current Driver and Why?

910D2 10.5 with OG Blueboard X-flex, cut down to 44.5. Feel/sound, consistency and looks are why I play this driver. I'm sure there are others that would fit my launch/spin numbers better, but its a club I have confidence in and I don't need to chase after 10 more yards at $50 a yard.

Picked up a callaway big Bertha v series head , forgiving and fast! Put a kuro kage silver tini 70g shaft at 44.5" in it. I'm hoping it helps me hit more fairways and hit it a bit longer then my old stage 2 that has been letting me down this season

I have the DBD 816 Betha with a Purple Kiyoshi Oban shaft. It's long and straight with the occasional draw. Just today I drove 2 par 4's. 310 and 321 yards. This happens to be the best driver I've ever hit when it comes to distance and forgiveness combined. The feel is pretty good and the sound is muted. When well it you will know it. When I miss I'm pretty close to the fairway.

Currently playing the Maltby KE4 ST-1 with a AXE Tour 6+ shaft and loving it. I really like the muted sound, matte black finish, and the way it sits at address. Oh, and winning long drive in my last tournament by over 20 yards doesn't suck either.

R15 but looking to upgrade soon. The search is on for something with a little more distance for me.

Titleist 915 D2 set at 10.5 with a black rogue 70 gram shaft. I played the T-Made Black R1 for a couple of year but switching from a 45.5 inch shaft to a 45 inch shaft made a huge difference in terms of accuracy. I also didn't lose any distance.

Callaway RFX 10.5* and switch heads with a Callaway X Hot Pro 9.5*, depending on the course, on a Diamana WB D+ 72 (75g) 44.75" tipped 3/4", was the best all around driver for me at the Gear Trials as well...

Titleist 905s with graffaloy blue stiff.

 

I hit it longer and with less spin than a d3 or d4 with diamana white xstiff or speeder xstiff. When the m1 comes down, it may be the replacement with a nice hzrdus black xstiff

Finally hopped on the M1 train. Current gamer is the M1 430 9.5* with a Graphite Design Tour AD MD 8TX shaft playing at 45". This thing is long, straight, and gets out there in a hurry.

915 D2, Rogue Silver 70-X.

 

Got fitted last spring. Hit a few things a bit further (i.e. King LTD) but I was most consistent with the Titleist. I've enjoyed hitting a fairway now and again.

910 D3 Ahina 72 S Flex --Sounded much better than the Taylormade available at the time (R11 i think)

Still use it bc it still hasn't lost a step on the competition and my irons are 14 years old and would rather update them

 

Basically, if it ain't broke don't fix it

XR16 10.5 - set at +1 and D, at 44.25 in @ D2 in Bassara P 43g. Not a high spin head, not a particularly draw biased head as the GBB.

 

The clubhead is light and I found this setting works well. Even at 44.25, I have picked up distance. Haven't hit the ball this far with 45-45.5 in length shafts.

I have the Evo Spr 565 red regular shaft in mine, set at neut bias and -1*. I can seem to hit the draw bias. Like you said, I have not hit the ball more consistant and farther than with this driver.

Back to the M1 for me. I owned one about 6 months ago and couldn't get the thing in the air with the Rogue Silver or KK Silver so I sold it. Then I read about TM tipping their shafts an inch so I picked up another M1 head with an untipped Tour AD DI 6X and I am glad I did. I hit driver really well yesterday on a tight course which played a big part in my first 70's round in a couple of years.

 

I found water off the tee twice that I didn't think I would get to (~275 yards both times) and hit a 285 yard drive into a 10 mph wind.
