I had put my Callaway 1.5 mini driver in the garage some while ago and yesterday did a swap with a guy who was looking for one. He had a Titleist D2 with an Aldila Rogue Siver stiff shaft, a Ping G Draw bias) driver and a Callaway XR driver - genuine and unmarked- a real serial club changer (with the financial ability to be one)

I chose the Titleist and we just did a swap - what would you have chosen?
 
I paid £20 for a proper fitting this morning We decided d4 setting and I got my clubhead speed on GC2 up to 98 mph, smash factor of 1.48 and managed a 270 yard drive !

I took it to Littlestone (a Open Qualifying links course) and boomed it (except 2 poor drives) so I'd say a really good swap!

Generally it doesn't go further than my Callaway x2 hot driver but the feel at impact is really solid and on the GC2 the dispersion was much tighter. I think I might play a scratch singles match on Friday at my place and if it still performs it'll join me for Sunday's comp!

It's the dispersion that sells it for me, I went from the 913 to the 915, distance has increased a little bit, but biggest improvement is FIR's. Once fitted at B2 I left it alone, knowing that that was the setting I got fitted for.

Absolutely Paul. I'm certainly looking forward to the next few rounds to see what it does in a serious game
 
Crazy swapping any of the drivers for a mini driver (aka a 3 wood that is hard to hit off the deck).

I would probably have taken the Ping but the others are top clubs.
 
I saw the thread title and saw who posted it and assumed you'd done the sensible thing and dumped Crystal Palace in favour of Manchester United, the F A Cup winners :whistle:.

I agree Ken, but he did have 3 brand new drivers in his bag but hit the mini driver better!
