    I don't think you'll get a good answer.

    Not many people will have tried that many drivers.

    Each person will prefer a different one..........the one that gives you the best results is the best driver. Shaft flex and face loft are pretty important so even if somebody recommended a model then you still need to get the right shaft for your swing.

    dont you have to have hit them all to know ?

    and I doubt many here do that regularly.........no single driver is better than all the rest or everyone would hit it they're all much of a muchness just hit a few and find the best one for yourself,as stated shaft type visuals and price should be looked at before deciding........

    other than that every new driver is supposed to hit it 15yds farther than its predecessor........

    Personally I prefer Titleist due to their simple looks and nice address behind the ball - but yeah totally personal choice when you say best do you mean best looking, best feel, best in distance?

    Titleist usually arent the longest well for me anyway but the feel and looks more than make up for the 5~10 yards that a Taylormade would give me

    +1 for Titleist, although I took delivery yesterday of a TM r9 460 which I'd been fiited for and am very happy with. It's a case of reading up on some reveiws and having a look at some of them. I would then recomend going somewhere like Kinsealy Driving range where you can try out different ones.

    Ping i15 is the nicest looking machine out there at the moment IMHO - lovely black finish, but hey I am basing on looks alone :)

    Got forbid I will never use one of those square yokes that you can get these days.

    I use a Titleist 909D 9.5 degree, I love it. When you hit it out of the middle it feels great and goes miles. But I think with the driver technology these days it's just personal preference.

    I bought a Titleist 909D 9.5deg driver recently and I absolutely love it. The shape of the head makes me feel very confident when hitting. A feeling I haven't shared with many other drivers i've tried out.

    I'm selling my 909 D Comp 'cos I'm not getting on with it as well as I used to, but this is more down to my game at the minute rather than any shortcomings with the driver.

    I bought an i15 on looks alone recently but just didn't suit me. Absolutely fantastic club though.

    Curently playing with a Cobra HS-9 and like it a lot. Tried the newer cobras but didnt like them as much.
    Took a Nike VR tour with a Project X 6 shaft out on the course last week and it was awesome, beautiful penetrating flight with good carry and roll out. Would seriously consider buying it but its an expensive club in that shaft. The shaft is a 120E upgrade on the stock shaft:eek: and according to the guys in the shop the club has a RRP of 450E:eek:. They reckon however it will cost 350E when it goes on sale which should be shortly. Going to have another go with it before I decide whether or not to take the plunge.:D

    Currently playing a cleaveland hi bore bought for €80 on ebay, great driver for me, some of my friends hate it tho.. how do you really compare, it's such a personal choice..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭bucks777


    i'm also a big fan of titleist drivers but as mentioned before its down to peronal choice...just go with whatever you feel comfortable and confident with...if you dont like the look of a driver you more than likely wont play well with it
