910 D2 vs R9 Supertri

[SirSliceAlot]

I have just sold my 3 month old 10.5deg Taylormade Burner 2.0 driver after developing an increasingly bad slice, pro at my brothers club said the extra length in the shaft and the lightness of the club can cause this. It goes like stink when hit properly but I would obviously prefer more accuracy than length as I am a fairly high handicapper.
I have my eye on either the Titleist 910 D2 or the Taylormade R9 Supertri, both are adjustable which I think is a good move for me.
Anyone recommend either driver or something else which I might have overlooked? I will be buying second hand (prob ebay or golfbidder) and will have around £180 to spend. Having monthly lessons as well by the way!!
Many thanks in advance!

It wont be the clubs fault fella (unless you went for a totally different type of shaft than your usual). time for a lesson perhaps before you buy another one?

i'd say it is more likely to be your swing path or grip that's causing a slice than a specific club.

It's funny how some pros say it's the club when they have a ready made replacement in the shop!

Only joking Bob..!

Neither of which are adjustable - I think the OP was asking for an opinion on adjustable drivers.

I have the supertri as you can see but am now finding having had a series of lessons that the ball launches high. This is down to 2 things in my case - my swing has improved - I won't say it's good, and the Fujikura Motore 60 shaft fitted to the Supertri does promote a higher launch.

At the latest lesson I had the pro gave me a 910D2 to try in various shaft and loft options. All of the ones I tried gave a more penetrating flight and I must admit I am leaning towards the Titleist over my current club.

However, going on his advice was that he will spend at least another hour to hour and a half with me to ensure I get the correct shaft for the flight I want and that maximises the distance for my swing before i make any decision.

Tried a 910 d2, and it just ballooned. 150 yards tops, but about a million miles high. Not for me.

Lovely Driver.

Should be able to pick one up for the money you want to spend.

I would

If your slice became increasingly bad, then that is wholly down to you, no club will fix that.

Stay well clear of anything with Titleist in the name, not by a long way a club high handicappers should be fiddling with.

If slicing is your main issue, then buy something with draw bias built in, Callaway usually do a good range.

Adjustable heads are for fine tuning, not major swing fault corrections, and are liable to give you more hassle in the long run if you don;t know what your fault actually is.

Thanks for the advice guys, I know its not the clubs fault for me slicing, but I am convinced (or rather the pro has convinced me!) that it didn't help. The extra length and lack of weight seemed to drain a bit of confidence from me at address, and I would stand over the ball really not knowing where it was going to end up!
Its gone to a better home now so I need to get a new one sorted asap.

How can you say a club that can change its flight across 70 yds left to right is fine tuning? The R9 can be set to 4 positions Left (Draw), Neutral Upright (Slight Draw), Neutral and Right(Fade) just by changing the shaft position.

Then on top of that you can change the weight positions to give more adjustment.

If you ask me that's a bit more than fine tuning and also if his swing improves he can change the settings back to a more neutral position - you can't do that with a standard draw biased driver.
