Tells you something about the supposed lack of distance of wound balls.  🙂

Voted for 510TP for something from that list, but would also submit the TiSI, or more accurately, the TiSI Tec, as a choice.

 

If I could have a write-in candidate, I would go quite a way off script....   Goldwin XL.  Provided I would be allowed to have the hosel modified a bit, to go a little deeper into the clubhead to avoid some of the issues with that separate hosel.  I loved the Goldwin driver I bought in the late 90s.  🙂

I played the Cleveland Launcher 9.5* with a Graffaloy Blue X-stiff shaft and ended up replacing it with a Titleist 905r 9.5 with a Proforce V2 75x which is my back up driver to this day. 
 

i feel like it was a lateral move honestly looking back.  15-20 years ago I’d get a new driver every year thinking that technology was newer which equaled better, then I had the 905r until the Ping G30 ls tec came out. 
 

I hit the 905r today at the range. The ball speed is only 1mph less than my Ping G410 lst that is set at 7.5*, but the  ball speed drops off more if you miss it a little, plus the spin rate is way higher (yeah, it’s 2* higher lofted I know) if there was a way to retrofit the head for loft changes. I’d probably still bag it.  
 

Im suprised the 975 is on there instead of the 905

 

i search the used clubs sections every now and again at some local places for clubs, the Launcher 400 is always on my radar, as is the King Cobra SZ 460, old Ping putters and old blades. 

 

Yah, I still have my 905R with blueboard Diamana, still in mint condition. Old faithful still gets brought out once in awhile and I agree, it's just as long off the screws, but falls off when mishit. Still love the look and feel of it though, it's what drew me to the Tsi3, it's the closest they've come to replicating that 905R look and feel.

From that list, its the Titleist or TM easy.  The 905r really should be there, though.  Such a great stick to this day.

Adams 9015D

This!

 

I cant seem to get rid of my Adams drivers.  I have a GCQuad and can't seem to find any new driver that beats our my 9015D, 9016D, or Speedline Prototype. I'm so comfortable with the shape of the head/sound/feel that it's so hard to move past them. I suspect that it's because so many of the new drivers are more fade biased (and lower spinning) that a more neutral head works for me.

 

Then again, maybe I just really love the shape of the head.

My Titanium Wilson Killer Whale, introduced in 1992. It has a 275cc head compared to the Big Berthas, which then were 195cc.  That Whale was, and still is long. Not forgiving by modern standards, but it was a game changer when I was 33 and hitting the ball very hard.

For a more modern classic, my Ping G400 may well be the last driver I ever buy.

Easy question for me, still have two r510tp drivers that see occasional rounds, one with an IverX, and one with a BLeex.

Oh man. You just need one w/the ShaqX and you have the trifecta of early 2000s Mitsubishi must have shafts! Those Mitsu shafts in a r510tp were the bees knees back in the day!

Have a Shaqx in a paintbreak 13* V steel, still makes occasional appearance back in bag when driver isn’t prudent play for either conditions or lack of quality input 😂
