What is your perfect driver head?


Rosco1216

Recommended Posts

I was just thinking what I would change about certain drivers I have liked. All my favorite heads have some con that I wish would be different so it got me thinking..If you could use any combination of designs and tech from all the OEM’s, how would you design your perfect driver head?

 

Mine would be as follows..

 

TSi3 base with more weight savings in the crown/face to be utilized more perimeter weight to add moi and a little more forgiveness. It would be in the old titleist grey and alignment as the 975 models but with a black face. I visually want to see a contrast between the face and topline. It would have a lightweight ping or TM style adapter because I don’t like the heavier dual cog adapters like titleist and callaway due to their weight and that they don’t open the face like a lightweight single cog adapter like does. I need to be able to open the face.

 

what would yours look like?

I'm a simple man. I'd like a matte TSi3, in TSi4 volume, with a slightly more open face.

 

Maybe I should just get a TSi4 and wrap it in Xpel Stealth.

I play the Epic Speed 9* (midnight edition) and 10.5* (traditional). I wish the Speed had the matte crown of Rogue ST and possibly there was a combination of Epic Speed/Max LS heads. I gamed the Max LS originally since the Speed’s shape/size did not suit my eye at first. I eventually traded in for the Speed. The Speed is a great club now that I have adjusted to the shape.

Right now Stealth + I have such a comfort with it.  It looks hittable from address, it swings easy, & I am not afraid of swinging hard with it.

Mine would be a stealth plus, but with the colors/accents of the original Sim and a slightly taller face profile and a 15 gram weight instead of the 10.

A matte TSi3 would be sweet. But I have a hard time thinking of anything else I would want out of the stock TSi3. She’s a beaut and just works 

Slightly more moi and forgiveness. Dark grey crown with black face because i struggle lining up and start line if there isn’t a contrast between face and top line. Lighter single cog adapter to manipulate to an open face angle.

I’d go matte finish on TSi3, just a great shape at address and performs.

Yep...Or the RogueST triple diamond in matte black finish.
