Your Current Driver and Why?


Ping_Ho

Recommended Posts

Currently use a Hibore 2 Wood with an Alida NVS in stiff most of the time. I like the feel (weight of it) the sound and it looks nice at set up. It also seems shorter than my other driver by quite a bit and makes me more confident.

I also play an R11S. Which I bought used and generally like the feel of and is pretty long, but prefer the length of the Hibore. The shopkeeper set it up for me and it feels like a good fit. But TBH the 2 Wood is about 90% as long and hits 25% more fairways.

TM Aeroburner, cuz it's f^<?!n awesome.
The serious draw bias perfectly negates my serious slice bias and it goes dead straight. Like a mile. Also because white.

[quote name='buzlin' timestamp='1437602434' post='12002218']913 D3 with stock D shaft at 44.5 inches. It's a rock solid set up. Nothing fancy, but performs predictably. Relatively traditional look and feel. Stable. No reason to upgrade. Like the hot girl next door, not the supermodel.[/quote]
You know that's a great analogy. Titleist isn't the crazy flashy supermodel just the great looking girl next door that never changes! No wonder the whole bag is titleist!

Current driver is a crazy 435 with AD GT 7s shaft...

Why? Because I ballonned the ball some with my 913 and same shaft, not as bad as Diamana but felt trajectory was not strong even though I hit it straight. This head was supposed to be low launch low spin and it has delivered and the shaft plays much better trajectory wise in this new setup but it is still early to tell if accuracy is same, distance and trajectory though are better.

I also have a ryoma that I will eventually have shipped that I am looking forward to trying. It sounds corny but I left the 913 becuase I really feel like I should be 15 longer with my swing speed and that head for me was not great into wind....I was pretty straight with it though, but I think that is more Indian as of late....

Hibore XL with a ProForce V2. Because nothing else works better for me. I've tried to replace it. I've stopped trying. The Rapture will always be my favorite, but for what I'm sure are scientific reasons I don't understand, I can swing as hard as I wish with this combo and still hit it straight. If only it sounded and felt like the 2 wood...

Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 10.5*(set to 12.5*) with Motore Speeder 565 Stiff @ 44.5", 7g in the Heel, 1g in the Toe and 5g of lead tape wrapped around the Gravity Core that is flipped heavy side down.

The Reason I use it? Because it flat out works better than any other driver I've ever owned by far. It has a nice feel and sound and it suits my eye, what else could you ask for from a driver?? Heck, it even looks pretty cool :)

[quote name='sheldonjhacker' timestamp='1436459463' post='11917146']PING G25, standard stiff shaft. Haven't hit the G30 or the G30LS...is it that much better ?[/quote]

For me, the G30 is much better. The g25 was the first driver that I could hit straight, but too high and not very far. The G30LST I hit 15-20 yards longer -yes, really- and just as straight. It has made my approaches much easier and the game more enjoyable. Also saved me some money because I'm not losing any balls.
YMMV.

I am about to put a JDM sldr into test mode at the range with a speeder 757.

Looks pretty good. I am a hardcore Indian not arrow, play blades because marketing is all hype and forgiveness is an illusion that doesn't make you better guy.....but I am admittedly a sucker for drivers.....mostly because I suck with drivers....

A tour issued murdered out matte black Jetspeed with a TP Motore Speeder 7.3 stiff.

I have it at 10 degrees and it's the only thing I've found the fairways with in what seems like two seasons.

Taylormade RBZ with stock stiff shaft. Why? Because its long and I always find the short grass with it. I am looking to upgrade my shaft though and I am unsure what to get..

I play a Callaway XR 9.5* Driver with stock stiff Project X LZ shaft.

This spring Club Champion fit me into a mizuno jpx 850 driver with a diamana kai'li x-flex. I was finally able to buy the pieces yesterday and all should be here by Tuesday to be put together and given a go.... Hopefully ready for my Iowa golf trip :-)

At this moment? R15 with Attas3 6TS but after this weekend who knows! I might end up going R1 or Adams XTD or just a shaft change. I was on point with the current setup but the last 3 rounds I have lost 6 balls off the tee alone. Pretty discouraging stuff!!!

I now want a Ping G30 SF Tec with Tour 65 because it could be long, straight and the best club in my bag?!

I am back to the old trusty Ping G20 8.5 with the stock TFC169 tour shaft. Actually ordered a G30 LS Tec and didn't even bother hitting it. Sold it and picked up the G20 again. (Actually bailed on it due to some unexpected expenses and couldn't justify keeping it)

The why is simple. It just works for me. I have hit it several times in Golfsmith against all of the latest and greatest and it always equals or out performs everything else.

I will say I'm in a dangerous position right now as a club ho though. I finally got my swing figured out and am hitting the ball extremely well again. It's been literally a year since I could say that. The problem now is that trying clubs is actually fun again. I hit a bunch of drivers in Golfsmith the other day. I really like both Titleist 915 drivers.

Big Berth Alpha with the stock Fubuki ZT shaft at 44.25 inches, Gravity Core Up, 13 grams in the heel and 3 grams in the toe, SW D4 with an Iomic 2.3 Sticky grip. With all these customizations this driver just flat out works for my homemade golf swing. I have completely eliminated the left side and love this club!!!

913D3 with a Diamana D+ 72 stiff. Love the smaller profile and traditional head shape. It is also damn near automatic for me. Very easty to work the ball both ways but my go to shot is a tight draw. It is a fairway finder for me, so I have no desire to replace it. I do want to try the D+ 62 and the Rogue in it though.
