300 Tour DF w/Speeder 757x A club that will put hair on your chest. 
 

510TP w/Graffaloy Blue S. Great club. Still in my basement… somewhere.

 

R9 Supertri. w/Fuji Motore 2.0. Controllable but not long. 
 

R9 Superdeep - Finally a TM head that didn’t spin enough. 

 

M1 2017 w/Diamana WhiteBoard. In and out of the bag for the last 4 years. Currently in.

 

M5 w/Hazardus Smoke - Felt Like I was hitting the ball with a plumbing pipe. Couldn’t feel where it was contacting the face.

M3 stayed in the bag for a long time. However the SIM2 has been even better for me. R7 425 TP was pretty bad a** too.

SIM2 MAXD turn loft down with a Diamana ZF is the most forgiving and one of the longest I’ve ever hit consistently. For the longest but not as forgiving the OG SIM was a beast with an Accra TZ6. Over all I’ve like most TM drivers all the way back to the R540 R580 heads. Always good on ball speed sound and tech.

another vote for M3 440

Now I have to try the M3 440.  I love my M3 so who has a 440??

- Something that continues to go long off the tee in the fairway
- Something that is a fairway finder when needed and long
- Something that high, consistent and helps with par 5’s
-  Something to help with long par3’s and short par 4’s

-  Something metal, lots of them and go the gaps I need
- Something metal, 2x of them and helps me 120y and in
- Putters - limited rotation because I cannot afford misses

Golf is what you make of it.  Play grateful and accepting. We are all lucky to have it.

Rather than expecting lets all try and appreciate instead. 
Treat people the way you want to be treated

Currently an M2 that I can't seem to get out of the bag. Before that I went through a bunch of TM drivers including:    the Burner, Burner Plus, Burner Bubble, titanium Burner Bubble, TM 200 series, r510 TP, r5 dual, r7 425, r7 460, r9 and a Rocket Ballz stage 2. (still have almost all of them)
All very good drivers in their time and I played most of them for a while. Seemed to be on the eternal search for "the one" back in the day. The r510 TP was the closest and I actually played that for a few years. I have tried most of the newer models and the M2 seems to be the current "one" and being I am turning 70 soon it may end up being the "one" for a good while longer.

 

Peace

Driver .....TM M2  12* ... Stock shaft Reg.

By far an R9 with Fubuki 73 in it.  Could hit it either direction (sometimes even on purpose!!!) and it was really long.  I still had it, stored in my parents house in NC but lost it last year when their house burned down.  I had just hit it at the range the year before and was amazed at how well it still held up.

The 1980s Original One. Followed closely by the 300 Mini Driver. And then the modern Original One mini. 

 

Honestly these are probably the ONLY TaylorMade drivers I have ever really liked. And I have played a lot of them.

What?  What driver do you game? TM has made some of the greatest drivers of all time and you go all small headed as the "favorite"?  Maybe it's time to take a lesson and learn how to hit a driver?! 

Taylormade SIM 9 // Diamana DF 60 TX
Ping G425 Max 14.5 // Tour AD DI 8x
Taylormade SIM DHY 3 // Diamana thump 100x

I hit driver just fine, Mr. Tour Edge Exotics. 😉

 

I've played many TM drivers over the year -- Burnr, R7, R9, as well as the Sim and Sim2 -- but they were all just OK to me so I quickly moved on to something else. The only ones I have truly liked are the ones I mentioned. The old school 1980s Original One was one of the first metal woods and was a revolutionary club for that era. I didn't play it for long because the tech evolved quickly back then. But it was a standout. 

 

And I mentioned the TM mini drivers because they are awesome clubs, but I have mostly played them as strong 3 woods not as driver replacements.

R580

 

It was the 1st driver I hit straight on a consistent basis

I was hitting a Callaway Deuce before that because I could not hit a driver

 

Ended up trading it in for a Callaway X which I loved also

When Callaway finally fits Phil into their own equipment for the 2W slot…it had better be called “The Deuce” again…

The R520 TP and the R7 TP were probably the best looking but the holy grail 300 Tour was my favorite. I used to hit rockets paired with the old Titleist Professional 100 balls. Loved it so much I never parted ways with the backup I had with a Rifle shaft….. Found some other classics while I was digging around in the garage.
