Worst Driver in the last 5 years.

[Chuck905]

That’s funny, I actually like the feel of that driver in a Diamana white.

 

Too bad for all the Wilson and SLDR; no love.

 

915 d3....got it in a trade for a driver i bought online for 60 bux.

 

I feel ripped off.

[golfheaven69]

Had a love hate relationship with my SLDR. LONG and CROOKED. :D

 

Epic was the same for me. Jailbreak often put me in jail.

[Hunter90]

2016 m1 430 (never hit the sldr), could hit it a mile straight, or in a different area code, or strike it on the heel and be short by an area code

[dcopp7]

 

2. TM Jetspeed.

Definitely ^^^

[TollBros]

The 915 I had turned out to be a big disappointment. Horrible sound, so spiny.

 

Could not agree more. Loved the look at address, but it all went south from there.

 

I also hated the 2016 M1 460, but loved the 17 M1 440... what are the real differences?

 

I nearly put the 2016 M range but feared being ridiculed. Less white and a better sound and feel in the 17 version.

 

I would say the 2016 M range are the best drivers Taylormade has ever made.

 

As for worst, nothing is really worst. It all depends on if that particular head suits your eye and launch needs. If you're an ultra low spin guy you may like Titleist. If you are a higher cap, Ping may be what you need. If you are 70% of all players you love Callaway or Taylormade. If you enjoy hidden gems, then Cobra is your match. All these companies make excellent golf clubs. Now if I had to pick one head that fit the LEAST amount of people, SLDR is it. However for higher spin good ball strikers it was the holy grail.

I know a couple of people that would agree with you. They hit their 2016 M2 drivers amazingly well. To me it was just a white, bad sounding SLDR. Each to their own I guess.

Romain Grosjean?

 

And the SLDR-C. And the R1.

[sigvb]

Romain Grosjean....

That's funny, but oh so true

 

 

[nogamejames]

This thread should end with the TM Jetspeed. I have never hated a driver more from a major company.

[DickieThon]

I have to vote for the 915, only because it’s the only driver I’ve actually bought in the last 5 years and it lasted exactly 3 rounds before I went back to my 910.

[vanillafunk616]

There aren't really any bad drivers any more, just products that don't really fit a niche and really shouldn't be anyone's first choice. Like the Titleist offerings 915, 917 for example. High quality clubs, but who do they really fit? Obviously if you're looking low spin, Titleist hasn't really gone after the agressively forward cg market. If you want a mid cg driver, you're going to get better ball speeds and lower spin off a m2, epic, cobra ltd, etc. If you're a low spin player and looking for a higher spin club, why not take advantage of the massive forgiveness of the Ping offerings?

[rwl]

I think the winning Driver on the "Driver vs Driver" show was a bit of a dud, wasn't it?

 

Ding ding ding! The TaylorMade JetSpeed is a close second.

Yes, and I'd suggest the Aeroburner is also a strong candidate.

[300_yard_drives]

Callaway Big Bertha Alpha

[grm24]

Romain Grosjean....

That's funny, but oh so true

After the start at SPA on Sunday Nico Hulkenberg is now in the running. Somewhere Crashtor Maldonado nods glumly in silence.

[Gilbertc13]

Epic

[95124hacker]

My buddies would definitely say that I’m the worst driver they’ve ever played with

[jjnorris2]

I was not a fan of the cobra F6. I just couldn't get comfortable with it.

[kcd38]

Titleist 915 - brutal sound and so much worse than the 910 and even 913

Epic/Rogue - felt very dead to me

[Fubuman]

Callaway 815 dbd, my worst & best.

Up until that point, I had never enjoyed a sound & feel of a driver more than that driver.

When struck out the middle with a square face, it was untouchable, however, the same awesome strike with a hair off the sweet spot & it missed fairways & was 20-30 short.

I tried 4 top shafts that I knew well & bombed in other heads but no way, they made no difference, eventually gave up & sold it for the 816 dbd.

[averysdad]

I didn’t much care for the R15 but like anything YMMV

[Bamicus]

SLDR almost made me quit the game!

[KAndyMan]

I had a F6 that i just could NOT get down with. The thing was probably the least consistent driver ive ever had. Eventually got so angry with the thing that i traded it to golfgalaxey for a few grips and a dozen chrome softs.

[Kingcat990]

I'll play, but it's an eccentric brand among the group here:

 

Yonex Tri G. So so bad. Went back to the i-ezone.

[billh17]

Wow. Guess I'm the only one who likes the R1. It's cool. I'm a loner, a rebel.

 

Nope ! I loved it ! Still have an R1 Black,and have a project X LZ hand crafted in it,and still love it !

[Shipwreck]

I will admit that my SLDR has a knuckle hook tendency when I’m not swinging it well, but today on the range I was opening the face a little bit at address and absolutely murdering it. It’s an 11* 430TP. The one thing I will say about it is I feel like I cannot lose one right, which was my miss before the SLDR.

I thought the Aeroburner line was pretty underrated.

[Jack Pearsall]

He does Well with the sldr 430.

He is Jack Pearsall.

 

 

[Kmac]

R1 and the SLDR were about as bad as it gets for me.

[Bogie_Nights]

G30 for me, and the G25 is one of my favorite drivers ever.

[gbartko]

S-yard t.388 was awful for me. Way short and spinny. Now I can't even give it away!
