Almost an impossible question to answer.
Its liking asking what your favouritye colour is. Someone will tell you youre wrong and why.
My advice is to try the Benross for lower budget and a Ping G10 for fatter wallets, but everyone will have their own favourites.
Just go to a range with a shop attached and try a few

ok so basically different for everyone, wat about cleveland??

 

[bobmac]

Do YOU like them?

 

[SamH]

well not bad used the hybrid and hit that a ton, not sure about driver??

i asked the questions coz i have 90 days to try my new driver and not really getting on with it.

 

[bobmac]

Sam, can I ask how far you hit a 7 iron on a flat shot with no wind and whether the driver shaft is stiff or regular?

 

[chipsandegg]

i think the most forgiving driver on the market in theory would be the one with the highest loft wouldnt it? just a thought

 

[SamH]

150-170 and the shaft is regular.

 

[bobmac]

If you get a chance, try a few drivers with stiff shafts.
They may feel better. If you start carving them out to the right, go back to regular but try different manufacturers.
Good luck and let us know how you get on

im pretty consistence just couldn't give an precise distance so did the range aha

150 - 170 that is a very large range there. are you not a very consistant striker because that may affect your driving aswell

good point from driver to driver they vary need to become more consistance maybe, how far do you hit your 7 iron and do you have a video of your swing.

If you go to the range, maybe its worth investing in a lesson. the will measure your swingspeed to find out what shaft you need and also will be able to sort your slice out. then take it from there

will do ill book this evening for the weekend

 

[SamH]

ive got a regular atm, is there different levels inside regular

 

[Putting_Green_Pro]

if your slicing it, it's because your shaft is too stiff. i had a very firm stiff voodoo and was slicing left, right and centre (mainly millions of miles right) but i exchange it for a whippy cobra stiff. drives are now a beaut

 

[SamH]

im 5ft 9, 15 years old coming up to 16 in march and i would say average and fairly strong

 

[Putting_Green_Pro]

yes. depends on what make you've got. you have the same driver as my 5 wood. i had my stiff cut down so it as is stiff so i would say you regular is super regular. how old are you, what height are you and what build are you?

 

[Smiffy]

I had a very firm stiff voodoo

A few years of marriage will put paid to that
