$200-$250 to spend on used driver. What you getting?

1) Shaking the couch cushions for a few extra bucks and getting a Cobra F9 Avalanche head.

2) Saving $200 and buying a Cobra Fly-Z or BioCell for $50.

Depends what kind of speed and swing you have but G400 LST for me combos the longest and most forgiving in years.

My F9 is getting dialed in now and sounds/feels better but won’t find one for 250 yet.

Is a used G400 Max for $225 a good deal? I have never hit the head.

I was lofting up with the M2 due to age but did not like the ball flight on the course. I got fitted for the M4 and hopefully reduced spin with a Tensei Blue CK rather than the standard Atmos. Definitely a difference after only 1 outdoor range session. I am beginning to think the 50 gram shafts are good for the range but I tend to get too quick on the course. I'm willing to give up a few yards for stability.

 

Sorry but I already traded the M2 in. It was in great shape and only had less than 12 rounds on it. You will find the right driver. Best of luck.

> Mizuno ST-180 off eBay

 

I haven't played a Mizuno club since a brief stint with a set of T-Zoid Comp EZ irons long, long ago. On a lark, after reading so much good stuff about the ST-190 drivers, I did some research and decided I'd go with the year-old model to save some cash since I didn't expect much. I picked a new in wrapper GT-180 head only for $125 and EvenFlow White for $100, then a like-new ST-180 head from member here. I'm still testing, but so far the GT-180 is the best driver I've hit so far. That's going through TM '17 M1, R15, SLDR, Ping G25, Cobra Fly Z+, Titleist 910D2, and probably others I'm forgetting in the adjustable era. I've picked up easy yards without having to go after it hard, and ball flight/dispersion is so much better.

Original TM M1 or M2 depending on what works better for your swing. Probably get them less than $200 as well. Like the 2016 versions better than 2017 by far.

I'm a fairly stock mid/mid-low 65 Gram shaft type guy so not a lot needed in that department for my swing.

After researching and all the rave about the Mizuno ST190, I hit a ST180 at a PGASS and was very impressed once I set it a loft of 10.5 and had better numbers than my gamer (Honma TW737 445 9.5). So I purchased a like new condition one with the MRC Tensei Blue off eBay ($190.00 w/free shipping) that had already been cut down to 43.25" and swing weighted at D4. Adjusted it to 10.5 which helps open the face angle a little, took about 5 rounds to get used to the draw bias look now I am hitting the ball further than I ever have an I am able to move it either way. Well worth a look at.

Update... just won high bid on eBay for a 2016 M2 in excellent condition for $130. Shaft is speeder 661 evo ts and don’t know much about it honestly. But with the money saved I guess I could always swap out the shaft. Anyone wanna school me on what paired up well with that head? Probably will be looking for a mid launch shaft. Used to love the blueboard diamana in my r5 tp. Ha! Thinking of reuniting with a s+ 60.

Epic Sub Zero with d+70 Whiteboard shaft. I’m loving it as much as my all time favorite- the 905s w graffaloy blue. The Rogue is a low spin beast itself and the trackman numbers might be a little better-I just prefer feel and sound of the older epic and for me that means more than an extra 4-7 yards. For anyone in the market, I just put up that Rogue SZ on the bst.

As you are talking second hand, I would say M4. Not talking from experience (I recently bought a new '17 M2) but one of my golf mates has a 2016 M2 but got the M4 this year as well and reckons it's quite a bit more forgiving. He has a similar HC as you.

But if you stick with about 4 year old drivers you can get just about anything brand new.
