The Ultimate Driver Survey

[BQst]

No love for the ignite? I play one. Even in stock form, it doesn't want to go left!

I'm still sticking with my 2 year old, 510TP with TP'd 757X shaft. This combination is just solid for me in feel and in results. Even though this combo is getting a little long in the tooth I don't think I'll even look to replace it until the end of next season, or so.

Ignite 460 with Aldila NVS-75s

 

Works great for me.

[rodfern]

Tourstage X-Drive 405 w/ Aldila ProtoPype 60 S

 

Great combo; long with tight dispersion.

 

May get kicked out o the bag for the 435 x-Drive.

[mmarler]

OK, So most people on here are equipment Ho's. From everyones signature, it's clear that we all play a full selection of varying manufactures and models.

 

I've listed most of the main manufactures in the survey, but can only list 10...... sorry.

 

Please post your Driver spec loft shaft etc when you have voted. With the amount of members on the site, this should be an interesting survey for the masses. It would be great to cover this in one thread.

 

JHR, you may struggle to pick one with your current selection...... :cheesy:

 

I'll start us off - TM R7 9.5* with Aldila NV 65S :)

 

Happy voting and posting.

 

 

Taylormade R5 or R7

[golfernut78]

no nike ignite? don't think you can put a whole lot of stock in to the survey when the ignite isn't included and all you hear is people asking why replace the ignite with the sq when the ignite is so great.

 

now that that is over, nike ignite 410 9.5 with aldila nv 75s. a bomb that loves to find the fairway.

[klpra]

TM R5 with GD YS5+ Solid and consistent driver for me.

[leftysviewuk]

Great response so far, again apologies for not including Nike, If I could have edited the poll I would have swopped out Macgregor....... :cheesy:

 

Current positions are:

 

1)Taylor Made :cheesy:

2) Titleist :cheesy:

3) Ping :cheesy:

=4) Callaway / Clevland :cheesy: :)

 

Taylor made still have a slim lead overall, but which OEM will be the

club ho's final choice.

 

Keep posting :jester:

 

p.s. JHR - Well done for making a decision, I guessed it would have been a tough one. :D

Plenty of love for my Ignite 460 10.5*/Accra T-60 M4 combo. It thrashed my former 510TP and easily outperformed the Tour SQ/Diamana I tested this morning.

[johnnypro]

9.5* Cleveland Comp - tour head; Aldila NVS65, stiff.

 

Pretty long; hits lots of fairways. A keeper!

[Lord Thomas]

I currently play a Nike Ignite 460 with a Fujikura Proto 70S, and I have found it to be forgiving and fairly long.

 

-Thomas

[golfscene]

Right now loving the SMT MV2 Accra T70 Combo. Also have a Ashton X1 VS339 combo haven't hit outside yet.

[bigeasy]

i have been playing the R5 since July, with a nv65 stiff, good combo. will look at the new callaway x driver when it comes out.

[leighthebee]

905T w/ Aldila NV 65 Stiff

 

Great stick when my heads on

[Zach Heusser]

I am still using the Taylor Made 510 DF with a 693 tr. I have yet to find a driver that is even close for me.

[sergizmo]

I use the K. Very solid, nice and heavy, and long. I have trouble squaring the 460cc monsters.

[Lede_]

TM 510 TP 9,5 with speeder 757 = incredible

[sahuttmann]

R7-TP with v2 shaft.

 

I've tried them all G2, 905t, 905s, ClevComp, FT-3 (yeah expensive year). :dntknw:

 

Although the G2 was probably the most forgiving, R7 offers the utmost it playability for me. Can hit it high, low, left-right, right-left, etc.

[tickyboy]

Bridgestone J33R 460 9.5* V2 65

[steviebigv]

I love my TM 510TP! This is a great driver! It's got the full package: long, low spin, forgiving and um..uhh..did I say LONG!! :dntknw:. I've tried the R7 TP and several of the newer drivers out there and can't find any reason to change right now.

 

Just my two Canadian cents! :drinks:

[Hellsing]

had come down to a Cleveland Comp w/V2 65 and 905T w/V2 75....am more accurate with the Cleveland, longer with the 905T....however, was introduced to a J33R 460 w/NV65....as accurate as the Cleveland and longer than the 905T....dare i say, my driver is set for 06....

[DavidR]

I use a G2 with stock NV 65 stiff shaft. I tend to balloon this driver from time to time although I do find it easy to hit. I plan on trying a few shafts next season to get a better ball flight.

[lysaght68]

Cleveland Comp 10.5 w/ Fuji TP 26.3 stiff. Originally had the stock Launcher shaft which was OK but it tended to balloon on me and wasn't as long as my Nicklaus Airmax 430-s. Now it's perfect.

[WhiteStake]

10* Cally 454 with Aldila NV65 regular flex.

I play a Cobra SZ 460 10.5* with Aldila NV 65 regular shaft. Why? I can hit it straight. :drinks:

[the hummer]

I play a 10.5* Cleveland 460 Launcher w/ a Grafalloy Blue R-flex. This is the best BANG for the buck...literally. It's traditional looking, easy to play with, accurate, long and reasonably priced.

[bogeyk]

Cobra 460SZ 10.5 with proforce 65. Longest driver I have had. The ball just gets up and seems to stay there forever. The only thing is the sound. It is unbelievably obnoxious

[onemomentintime]

for now i am using a Nicklaus ML440, 10 degrees of loft, Diamana "TigerSpec" shaft S flex

 

..though there are a few candidates right now on the horizon that may cause me to switch. but i love the shape though of this one and the performance seems to work for ME.

[Golfin4Weezer]

I like my MP-001 but the Adams 460d tour with a Aldila NV-75 shaft in it is bangin'.

[Gator70]

I play the TM R7TP 8.5 w/mitsu rayon shaft. A real nice combo for high and long when needed and low and stinging when the wind is howling. Takes some fooling around to get just the right combo, but its worth it when my opponents eyes fall out of there heads as it blasts down the middle.
