Used Driver: Under $100 and Low Spin

[Range Pro]

SMT 455DB with the shaft inserted all the way which is 2".

[Pi5seeker]

Srixon Z745

[Shifty76]

Callaway X2Hot or maybe XR should come in under $100. I paid $100 for my X2Hot a couple of years back now. Fantastic clubs, plenty forgiving and as long as anything else out there.

[Jackal]

Cleveland Classic, maybe XL Custom.

Cobra Fly Z, or a Callaway XR.

[Sparky14]

Maybe take a look at the Wilson FG Tour F5. It got some pretty good reviews and can be picked up for well under $100 these days.

 

I 2nd this nomination. Good looking driver, sounds good. And a nice Fubuki shaft too. And going on ebay for dirt cheap.

[Homerun2Birdie]

Still have my X2 Hot Pro - Have played it multiple times this year. You can find heads on ebay for 50 bucks.

[aypeeone]

I scored a King LTD driver here on the bst last year for only $105. If you stay patient you should be able to find one too. It’s easily one of my favorite drivers I’ve hit. The sound of a perfect strike is just beautiful.

[staysober for golf]

Low spin, TM R15 430cc was pretty low and prob can be had very cheap. M1 440 was too low spin for me.

[Rapatt95]

Definitely the Anser-Ahina combo. Can be had in near mint shape for ~80$ and is absolutely the best for under 100

[bladehunter]

sldr 430..king

[MuskieCy]

The alpha and omega,.......Adams 9015D.

[amish]

I have an l25 l dont want anymore.

 

The F6+ can be set up low spin but it does make some funky sounds from time to time.

[Badmeat]

Callaway X2 Hot Pro- can be had with an Aldila Tour Blue or Tour Green shaft in that price range. That’s what I currently game.

Fast12LS is a great feeling head. You most probably have too much cottonballs stuffed in there. Nothing an air compresser

 

Dumb question on this, do I just stick a hose into the back of the head and blast air? I took a paperclip and think I got the majority out, but wouldn't mind a second run to insure it was all out...

 

Yep. Stick the blower tip in the hosel or any hole available and fire away. Although, I find a bit of yarn never hurts sound and feel. It might also bring the SW down too much if the shaft was cut at some point. You probably know all of this anyway!

 

If you were away for 2+ years let me give you a little advise... Google cobra F6+ carbontrack issue or even F6+ feel sound... You'll thank me later! I'd look for a King LTD over many models mentionned.

Thanks! I'm spending some time in the sales sub digging through these options... I like the LTD alot and wanted one back when it was released. There seemed to be a couple decent options on the forum.

 

I'm biding my time, though... I need to hit my cleaned out Fast12 LS and see how it does... right now it might just need a less stiff shaft.

[Chip32]

TM Aeroburner

[Booker]

Tour issued aeroburner, still available in the plastic with spec sticker for $100. Ping I15 is another low budget option that game with a great ust shaft.

[leomessi10]

I have a SLDR 430, Cleveland Classic 310 8, and a Cobra Bio Cell Pro. I like the Bio Cell pro the best and get the best results with it. The 310 is crazy long for me when i swing it perfect. They were all $100 or under.

 

I too am high launch and high spin. I was gaming the BCP until the shaft snapped. I am now gaming a 2016 M2 8.5 TI which was $165 for me. Worth it in my view. It won't be going anywhere.

 

I am putting together a Rogue sub zero handcrafted evenflow black combo that I have really high hopes for. Sadly that combo was much more than $100.

[Even Further]

I've always had good results, and like the feel with Cobra drivers. This spring I picked up a mint used LTD Black for $110 with Element Chrome+ shaft. It's an awesome club.

[VNutz]

Callaway 816 DBD.

[TheInfidel]

Angry BECAUSE you're getting back into golf or angry SO you're getting back into golf?

 

SLDR is probably an option and can be had for next to nothin these days.

Yeah, I'm going to keep my eyes on the classifieds for a SLDR 430 and probably the Cobra LTD and BCP... If I see a good deal on one of those, I'll probably go ahead and pull the trigger.

Ship to work address. I'm not a complete moron.

[ecfritts]

I have a Titleist 913 D3 that can't seem to be knocked out of my bag. I know everyone is different but for me it works...and cheap.

[alittleoverpar]

If you can still find a Callaway FT-Tour grab it. They are absolute MONSTERS! I've still got mine and bag it quite often. It's still the longest driver I own - not the most forgiving - but definitely longest with lowest spin.

[Nevy79]

I am high launch, high spin too and have hit almost everything on the course. Cleveland Custom XL feels awesome and is a mid-high bomber. 460 head but looks a little smaller from the top, very deep face. Also the x2Hot Pro is similar. I currently game the '15 XR pro, 9 degree on neutral. This is my second head, and came back to one after testing almost every current new model. This time I actually replaced the 5 gram weight on the bottom with a 2 gram, then put that poly stuff that is inside stuffed animals, because I read on here that it doesn't compress together like cotton. I play it just under 45" I absolutely love this setup. I feel it keeps the ultra low spin and the poly ads weight distribution to the head, making it more forgiving and giving it a nice muted sound/feel and allowing me to have good swingweight at under 45". Got mine with a rogue for $75, although I play a 70 gram aftermarket Fuji x in it. Sorry for the long post but I like details ha.

I appreciate the details! The cotton in my head KILLED the sound and my drive already had an extra stiff shaft, so bad sound plus shaft made it feel like a brick strapped to rebar. I got the cotton out and will see how it plays... It's short (45in) but I'm going to give it and my game a month...

 

I'll add X2hot Pro to my list of things to keep an eye open for!

Cleveland Classic

[Uberzz]

Personally don’t like the driver, but.... SLDR can be had for nothing and is super low spin.

[platgof]

2016 M2 is a low hitter. I have it and play the Fusion, the best driver I have ever hit.
