[quote name='2underpar' post='2069190' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:06 AM']Am I the only one to think the Cleveland Comp deserves a place in the top 5?[/quote]

No, you're not. Rod Pampling is still playing one, last I saw. Which is pretty long for a driver. A seriously good head.
and, You wouldn't believe the number of good players that still see with the original Launcher with the gold shaft. and they still hit it long.
That one right there, might be a cult driver.

[cardoustie]

TMade 510tp
Adams 9015d LDA
Tmade 07 Burner TP

too many others are a distant fourth. Was actually thinking of getting another 510tp off the bay for shites and giggles. R5 Dual TP I played for 2 full seasons, was great with a heavy weight in the toe !

I've also played a Tisi, Tisi Tec, TM360, Rapture, SuperQuad, G10, G15, 909dcomp, 460 tp tour, 580xd tp tour, 09 burner tp

disclaimer .... this is from a guy that won university tournaments with a Bridgestone Whopper !!

[mosesgolf]

1. Tie Adams 9015D and Cobra L5V
2. Cobra L4V x
3. Callaway FT 5
4. R9 TP

[307golf]

I'm surprised to see so few people voting for the Cobra L4V. Different strokes...

[bobcat]

These (5) from Taylormade's R500 Series:

- R500 Tour (325cc)
- R510 (330cc)
- R510-TP (390cc)
- R540XD-TP Tour (400cc)
- R580XD-TP Tour (440cc)

[generalbolg]

im shocked nobody's mentioned this already: cally ft-i

may not have best driver for a lot of people, but it was the first to really push the boundaries of shape and MOI

my top 5:

ft-i
l4v
r7 425
905r
ft-9

[bigdriveandy]

callaway ft-3 tour - one of the longest drivers to this day
tm r9 - the driver that might end my hoing!
cleveland launcher 400 - how long was this thing compared to what was out at the time
adams 9015d - speaks for itself, already has a lot of votes
titleist 905r - since i began playing golf, the driver with the most historic following/impact. almost everyone i know has had/still has their 905r

[bearnow22]

Taylormade 425TP
Titleist 905R
Taylormade Tour Burner TP - maybe I just had a great combo; but I loved it.
Nike SQ Tour....actually playing one of these again from the Tour Van and flat Kill it.
Nike Tour Square - The one that Cink and Glover used this year....great head.

[clutchfan]

FT-9 tour
FT-5 tour
G5
905R
Rapture v1

[rgk5]

TM 425 TP
Callaway FT-9 Tour
Nike Sumo2 Tour
Srixon Z-RW
Titleist 983E

[Golfcat]

the final tally for me resides with one theorum...when did this companys driver stop making strides and started making tweaks.

Ping G2 was the last "big stride" from Ping (I have played G5 and currently play Rapture V1)

Taylor R580

Taylor 510TP (for the players...great driver)

Titleist 905 R

[golfwrxnut]

The TM 510TP and the 905S are standouts in my mind.

[Dizz]

As far as their place of being the best of their time...how can anyone not have the 300 Tour on there. It paved the way for tour issue drivers and IMO is the best driver EVER for its time. For me a top 5 would be:

300 Tour
510 DF
975D
905R
Ping G2

[golfware]

Oh this is an easy one. Over the last 10 years:

- Taylor Made r510 TP: This created SO much buzz when it first started the whole TP revolution for Taylor Made. I still have one and it's easily the best feeling driver TM ever made.

- Taylor Made 2007 Burner TP. This created a huge Burner following and brought the Burner line back!

- Titleist 905R. Enormous Tour play. So much so, that the 907D2 didn't get any play because the 905R was so good.

- PING G2. This driver was a sales HIT. Everyone who was anyone had it in the bag and it was just an enormous success.

- Callaway FT-3. Callaway finally got it right with Fusion Technology, and this driver was a HIT. Really started Callaway along the path of Fusion Technology as previous versions were bombs.

- Taylor Made R7. Along with the 2007 Burner TP and r510TP, this introduced MWT and changed the game for TM.

Every other driver pales in comparison to the success of these 6 drivers.

Honestly, I agree with all of your drivers except the 300 Tour. Yes, it was a hit for tour issue drivers, but to be honest, I've NEVER seen one in person. Commercially, it never existed. Yes, I remember it was an internet phenom, and quite possibly on tour, but the other drivers you mentioned were HITS on Tour and amongst Amateurs. Have to agree with all the rest. Completely forgot the 975D.

[golfware]

As far as the Adams 9015D goes, you'd be hardpressed to find one at the course I play at.. Harding Park. I've YET to see one in existence. It's big on this forum, but that's about me, in my opinion.

Well said, but he listed 6 drivers, so it's considered off the topic.

[jadecorn]

In no order:

TM Superquad TP
Adams Tech A4
Cobra Speed S9-1 Pro D
Mizuno MP-600 (even the stock Fujikura wasn't bad)
CGB Max Limited (415 cc head, 2 degrees open)

Ping I15 (would be great, except for that fade based design--too hard to turn over)

Awaiting the Cobra S2, which I hit indoors a month ago.

[Golfchicago]

Cleveland Comp....probably the best driver ever

Titleist 983K....Titleist's best driver next to the 909D comp, which is obviously way more forgiving

Tour Edge XCG....they finally got it right! Extremely straight but now it can keep up with any other driver out there

MP 600 so solid feeling and straight

Ping this is a tough one. G10 was awesome but all of the new stuff is great.

[puttitin]

In alphabetical order!

Adams : A4 9015D
Bridgestone: J33R
Cleveland : Launcher Comp
Taylor Made: R7- 425TP
Titliest : 905R/T

I have one of each! Pure coincidence.....

[teeituphigh]

Im not a fan of TM nowadays as they are a revolcing door of products HOWEVER I truely believe the R510TP can not be beat.
So...My list:
1 -- TM R510TP
2 -- Titleist 905R
3 -- Titleist 909 D3
4 -- Ping i15
5 -- Callaway FT-9 Tour

[teeituphigh]

DAMN....this thread has me searching for a 510TP now on the bay....damn you golfwrx...damn you.
