The one I'm playing, Ping G400. Although I'd like to try the 410.

 

Ping G430 Max 10.5

Ping G430 5&7 Wood

Ping G430 19°,22° Hybrids

PXG Gen 6 XP's 7-SW

Ping Glide 58ES Wedge

Ping PLD DS72

Had another stellar day with my ST190 yesterday. Long, straight bombs and was able to work it when the hole called for it.

I wonder how many people who have answered have hit the ST190?

Second choice would be the 910D2. Probably the best all around driver ever made.

For me it would be my new Taylormade Original One mini driver w/ Fujikura Ventus 6S shaft set @ 11.5*. I am a high handicap golfer who struggles with a normal driver off the tee. Have tired different heads, different shafts, and even shortening shafts, but fail to still make consistent solid contact. This has lead to lack of confidence in the tee box looking down at a normal driver. With my mini driver I feel much more confident and I am finding more and more fairways. I am shorter obviously, but not that much shorter and I am giving myself better chances at making a better 2nd shot into a green or landing it short of the green avoiding bunkers, water hazards, etc.. Overall for me going this route with a mini driver is giving me more opportunities for birdies, pars, and hell even bogeys. Until my skill level improves enough and I once again have confidence standing in the tee box I can hit a 460cc driver and put myself in position regularly in the fairway and not in rough left or right, OB, etc.. the mini driver is here to stay.

910D2 with a reasonably low-spin shaft. Would lose 10 yards but it's still my go-to when I'm in a slump.

Man...that’s tough. So many past drivers to choose from. It’d be between the 2016 M2 with a KK silver 60 Stiff, a Nike Vapor Pro w/White Tie 60 Stiff, a Nike VR Tour w/PX Tour Issue, or my current G410.

 

Might have to pic the M2. It was a beast.

The one I'm using now (905R), the feel of a r510tp with the length of a present day driver with adequate forgiveness. It's in my bag until I find something better.

Titleist 990 (3-PW) with stock Dynamic Gold in S300

Titleist 910 D2. Not as long as my current driver (EPIC SZ), but a nice feeling, smooth swinging fairway finder. If I'm on a tight shorter course, it stills goes back in my bag. Easy to shape and still plenty long enough.

Probably my current Vapor Fly / Speeder 757X combo. Loads of adjustability for if my swing changes, nice and forgiving and capable of giving me that bit extra if needed.

 

However you may have to ask me again next week, as I have a 917 D3 on order :smile:

Loved my Callaway GBB when it was in the bag. Swore I wasn't going to try XR16. But I did of course and it kicked the GBB out of the bag easily based on forgiveness. Then came GBB Epic, which I've played for the last two years, but yearned for the consistency I had with XR16. Enter Rogue as of this week. Tech of GBB Epic, shape of XR16. Hopefully I found my all time. Rogue 9* ( +1) Fubuki J 50.

I have three, including my current gamer M5 9* Project X HC EvenFlow Black 65 X. Number two, 910D3 Ahina 70x. Had it for 7 years and it helped me pass my PAT in 2016. Third, and mostly bc it was the first driver I bought for myself around age 13, the 975D. Back before I knew anything about aftermarket shafts and just hit the ball. Felt great, hit it anywhere and helped me fall in love with the game.
