Golf: What Driver is in YOUR Bag?

[Blackjack]

I'm currently pimping a King Cobra 460 SZ .830 with a Stiff Flex Adilla Shaft.

When purchasing it, I was deciding between the cobra or the Taylor Made R7. The store didn't have any R7s in stock lefty so I opted for the big old cobra. First time I hit it on the course, it felt like the ball shot out of a cannon.

Blackjack

[PokerGoblin]

I currently use a extra long shaft length Fortune 'Hammer of Thor' golf ball destroyer.

It is tremendous.

PG

[Blackjack]

You ass.

I actually googled it to see if it was some Gimmick knockoff club.

Blackjack

[kerssens]

Taylor Made 420 Burner 10.5...but I absolutely love my Cleveland Launcher 3-wood...I'm thinking of getting the driver too.

[ClaytonN]

Titleist 975D 7.5 degree stiff shaft

Old Skool /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Blackjack]

7.5 degree. That's bawlsy. I play a 9 degree because of my swingspeed. You must swing out of your shoes.. Or you bought a used club and didn't know the difference /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Blackjack

[ClaytonN]

I have a high swing speed.

I hit the ball about 280 off the tee.

If I were any bigger (I'm like 5'9 150) I would be putting the ball out in the 330's at least.

[BeerMoney]

Titleist PT i think.. I also swing a Taylor Made System 2..


My irons are Wilson staff tour blades /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[Blackjack]

Blades give me the willies.... I'm thinking about getting the Nike Pro Combos.

8-PW are Blades
567 are Muscle Cavity Backs
34 are Progressive Cavity Backs

Those sound interesting.. Although, I really love hitting my long irons sweet with the blades....

[kerssens]

And the question was only about your driver. None of the other clubs matter. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

this statement is ridiculous. your handicap must be very high.

[Blackjack]

I'm a 8.2 USGA Handicap.

I bagged my 60* 588 in favor of the Vokey Raw 60* and 52* gap.

Have a Tommy Armour 845 stripe sand wedge that matches the rest of my irons.

I don't like how the cleveland wedges have excess bounce on the irons other than the sand wedge. It makes hitting crisp pitches from the fairway more difficult.

Blackjack

[ceyoung]

well im a 2.7 so i win. but seriously, you can't say that the most popular wedge in the world sucks. i do agree though the 60* has a lot of bounce, but i prefer it that way. didn't mean to get in a pissing contest. but whatever.

[augie00]

Titelist 975K

It was expensive.

[Blackjack]

I have no distance control with that fucker because of the bounce from the fairway. From the rough, it's a decent club. I like a wedge that has a sharper leading edge.

the new launcher comp is an awesome driver. definitely worth the money.

[Eurotrash]

Titleist 905T Pro Ti


just put it in the back about a week and a half ago, was not disappointed at all.

[ADGator]

still have a launcher 330, in the market for a new one.
just got a set of mizuno mx-23s, love them

[on_thg]

Still using a Taylor Made R580 from a couple years ago. It's been great but I can't hit it for [censored] lately so it's been spending a lot of time staying in the bag, headcover on.

[THATWACOKID]

Taylor Made 540 but it's getting outdated. I'm getting the new Titleist .. the lower launch one

LOL. no. If that were the case that would mean if Chuck Howell was bigger he'd be hitting 375 +.

[jnalpak]

983k 9.0, nuff said'

[KungFuSandwich]

I got a Chromium Steel Wilson Paradox. Its pretty much the best driver ever.

How much you wanna bet I can hit a golf ball over those mountains

[Rushmore]

I recently got the Taylor Made R5, and it is the NUTS.

The R7 is a slightly smaller head, with changeable weights with which you can, uh, taylor-make your swing, I suppose.

I, however, know myself well enough to know that I wouldn't be all changing the weights and stuff, so what the hell. Plus, the bigger hitting area on the R5 makes it a little easier to hit, confidence-wise. PLUS, the R5 comes in a "Type D," which is designed to repair unwanted fade (otherwise known as "slice"), which actually works a bit.

I mean, I am actually hitting some balls that draw a little, which is hard to believe if you're me. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice. I have the 8.5 degree. Also occasionally use the old-old-school Ping 3-wood (yes, it's wood) to tee off. I love that club.

[ttleistdci]

Callaway Greatest Big Bertha. I haven't found anything I like better.
PM me if there's something I would like better...I'm open to suggestions.

[PokerGoblin]

Blackjack,

I nicknamed that club the 'Hammer of Thor' because it is a mammoth driver, and when I hook up I can reach the greens on a decent amount of par 4s. It does present certain accuracy problems though.

The club itself is nothing more than a standard driver out of a set of clubs, my grandfather had them custom built for me with extra long shafts because I am rather tall.

Sorry to get your hopes up.

PG

[jaym]

9 deg Great Big Bertha II with System 60 shaft. Got it for $99 on closeout. Sometimes it's good to be a lefty.

[RacersEdge]

I have the 975D driver as well...

With the Titleist DCI 990 irons..

And I play the Titleist Pro V1 ball..

I'm a sucker for Titleist..

[johnnybeef]

i got the r7 ht 9.5 with an mas 2 stiff shaft in the mail last week after getting rid of my 983k last month (i couldnt hit it). the first time at the range, it was spectacular...yesterday at the course, it sucked.

[offTopic]

TM R360XD 10.5* (Conforming)

I've got this OTT move going right now, which is greatly limiting the enjoyment garnered from hitting this club.
/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Edge34]

I've got that PureSpin diamond-face driver, and I love the way it feels, but I'm not anywhere near good enough yet to take it to its full potential. I'm hitting some Ping Eye2 blades that I love though...

[JTrout]

Titleist 983E 8.5* loft. 44.5" length. Grafalloy ProLite35 shaft.
Love it.

[bd8802]

Titleist 975J-VS 8.5* T-Speeder Shaft

I am in the market for a new driver, going to be trying out the Titleist 905T 9.5* with a bunch of different shafts next week.

http://clevelandgolf.com/proshop/wedges/cg10_black_pearl.php (16 different bounce and loft options from Cleveland.)

At one time the bounce arguement might have been justified, but not any more.

[TripleH68]

Adams Tight Lies. 9 degrees. Graphite/steel tip shaft.

I love this club. When I switched to this driver from a Cleveland I immediately started hitting the ball 25 yards longer. From 225 to 250 plus.

In my bag:

Cobra SS 3 wood
Adams Assault irons (old school, custom fit)
Cleveland RTG 60o and 56o wedges
Taylor Made Rossa Monza Putter (one round away from ebay)

Anyone here switch from the J driver to the 905?

while they definately dont suck (my bag has a 52, 56, and 60 900 gunmetal), i do like the titleist wedges better (which my brother plays, and i will be playing when i buy a new set of wedges) .

if you stopped throwing it everytime you miss a 3.5 footer, maybe you would have more success.

if anyone is ever in San Jose and has an inkling to play The Ranch golf course...go ahead and kill yourself.

Shouldn't you take a box (or two) of your favorite golf balls, throw them one-by-one down an open manhole, and then kill yourself? /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

TM R580XD, Grafalloy Blue S, gripmaster (leather) grip. I hate the thing.

I want a KZG Gemini, with a Diamana 63 s, but I'll probably end up with a Gemini w/ an aldila NV65.

And I couldn't stand my vokey raw sand wedge.

Hey what's wrong with The Ranch? Doesn't everyone enjoy a course that plays 6400 yards from the tips and has a slope of 157? The only thing missing is a windmill and volcano.....

You can get the old pro combos for dirt cheap, and they're solidly reviewed.

I kind of want a progressive set as well. I think I may build a set of Snake eyes 600xc/600c/600b. I have an extra shaft set sitting around.

If I'm feeling wealthy, however, there are some much nicer options. A Titty 690 combo set, or tourstage MR-23 combo set would be incredibly badass.

Or, if I want to forsake beautiful blades forever (I play KZG forged blades right now), there are always the lucious RAC TP's.
