The Best Total Package Driver Ever??

[junior79]

Yes. Had an 8.5 paired with a Fubuki Alpha 70X. High nasty bombs all day! It was magical how long that driver was!

[forrester_fire]

The original TM M1/M2. I'm still playing the 2016 M1; it's been that good a driver for me.

[ShortSticks]

Agree, still play my G20 with Graphite Design DJ6s. Going on 9 years and it is still hitting bombs.

[Double Dodger]

I had three JDM heads. The 440 size. I swear to you two of them couldn’t hit the world with a drive but one of them was a laser. All with the same shaft and set up. There is a reason the pros go through a dozen heads of the same club to find a gamer.

... Like you, I am playing the Cobra Xtreme. But my vote would be for the Cobra Fly Z. A mid to low spin head, forgiveness was usually not as good as higher spinning and more forgiving heads. But with the weight low and rear, it was very forgiving and produced a great trajectory with good spin numbers. I thought it was the first of it's kind and I had my best driving season ever using my original Fly Z. My son has it now and won't even look at another head. I love my Xtreme because it is even more forgiving with similar spin and a hair longer but not quite as solid sounding/feeling as the Fly Z that really put Cobra in the driver game.

Another vote for the 983K... While the feel, sound, and performance will be something I remember as perfection, it may just be nostalgia. I was playing in college and my folks sent it to me as a surprise. It was always nice getting a care package when at school, though none will top that one!

2016 GBB

smallest looking 460 head I have hit, clean matte black, slider track, weight port towards face, the callaway adapter, tons of room to make all sorts of adjustments, good feel, long, forgiving.

 

[The Pearl]

This is the clear winner. My buddy picked one up at a garage sale two years ago on a whim. He picked up 20+ yds instantly. I still have mine and it is still nearly as long as my Wishon 919. Back at that time it seemed like everybody had one of these. I wonder how it stacks up in regards to Taylor Made's all-time best sellers.

On a side note, when the SLDR craze hit, TM released the Jet Speed which looked like an updated Burner. My brother got one on sale at Dick's for $139. Kills the ball with it.

[DivinDave]

For me, its the King Cobra F9 (the yellow one) w/ Tensei Blue shaft. My mis-hits dont seem to be as short or as far offline as previous drivers which were Callaway Epic, Cobra F6, Taylormade Burner and a Callaway Diablo

Had an R9 460 that I put an old school Diamana Blueboard in....had that thing for a long time maybe not the longest but absolutely the most consistent driver I ever owned ...ahh why did I get rid of it?!?

[Dazzler97]

Taylormade R7 CGB Limited Diamana Shaft- our of bag for a few years in favor of SLDR and R1 and back in the bag last 2 seasons. Came with 3 Shafts and completely customizable- 420cc and best of all world.

 

[Rambler1277]

For me it's the Cleveland 588 Custom with the stock Matrix Ozik stiff shaft. I went through about 6 different drivers before realizing they were all missing something. It's back in the bag and my game is as good as it's ever been.

[martinbns]

I played a RApture for quite a while and still have it in the garage.

 

For me the best ever driver is the one I have been using since 2015, BB Alpha 12* turned down one with the stock regular Speeder 565 shaft. I miss a fairway about once every three rounds and it's longish for me which is to say not terribly long.

[kanzaclimber]

Cobra L4V with a Proforce V2. Reallllly nice driver.

[PullHookBlock]

I have a Ping G410+ with the Ping Tour 65X.

To think of all the money I wasted on all these exotic JDM and other shafts and heads over the years and this stock setup just works. It’s high quality with good feel and it works synergistically with the heavy head.

I went and hit every driver they had yesterday and nothing could beat it for consistency, average distance, longest distance, and feel. Sim Max with Diamana DF would have been my second choice.

One thing of note: I’ve really been working hard on a positive AoA and am hitting a towering push draw. Like 14-16* launch and 2000 spin with static loft of 9*. I *never* drop kick the Ping but I kept dropkicking the Sim Max yesterday with that big protrusion hanging out the back.

I really did want to buy something yesterday—I was just sure the Sim Max would be my Father’s Day gift to myself—but I am actually pleased that what I already have works best for me.

The adjustable weight and loft settings also seem to make more tangible differences than other adjustable drivers I’ve had in the past.

[BB28403]

Gotta love Matrix!

[My2Dogs]

Remember the TM R7 Superquad. That was the original OG best total package driver. 4 weights, smallIsh deep head. Felt amazing.

[DickieThon]

For me it's the Titleist 910 in this category. There are newer clubs that I might hit slightly farther, but I can't justify $500-$600 to hit the ball 12-20 feet farther than I do now.

[Barnacle]

That is what I game currently. Haven't found a need to change it yet, Super forgiving face and just goes for miles when struck well.

Other Drivers I've really liked. 913D2, Cobra F9, PXG Gen 2. I haven't tried the new Sim yet but its on the list.

[onafriday]

The Ping Anser driver came with an authentic ahina- that’s a solid off the rack combo.

[tjfarris127]

I rather enjoyed the Cleveland TL310 and Cleveland Classic 310 with stock shafts...

[WarEagleGolf]

This x1000

Just damn good. Fairway finder when you don't hit it perfect - bomber when you hit the oversized sweet spot. Shape it either way, just all around solid. Gotta get the right shaft though. Can't hit it with any of the Ping stock offerings.

[sdiver68]

For me, the Callaway I-MIX FT9.

Instead of relying on 1 time fitting, we could buy individual heads/shafts and play them on course switching around until the magic combination was discovered.

My own is FT-9 10 draw with Diamana Blueboard 63S...which I still play today and might be the most accurate club in my bag. Its my driver and 3W because I can hit it off the deck.

I'm tempted by the most recent crop of adjustable drivers (SIM, G410) but don't know if 5-10 yards is worth giving up the extreme confidence I have with my current.

Looks, Feel, Performance, Features... Titleist TS3. It's the most well rounded driver currently on the market.

[pingplayer]

Ping G30 and G400 Series of driver are the Total Package. Just go and pick yours.

[Emerich]

The G400 LST is fantastic. Long, accurate, can curve it either way, hit it high or low and just the best I've tried by a mile.
