4 but only 2 have been serious and felt like proper buys.
Started about 6 years ago with something from argos in a 1w/3w/5w set for £20 total.
then 2nd hand mizuno mx something to match my mizuno irons.
First custom fit session bore out the cobra amp 9.5 deg regarding shaft. Handicap tumbled from 24 to 10. Driver a big part.
Finally, messing about on ebay with a few cheeky bids and whoops; G30 now in the bag.

A Tom Wishon that lasted for 5 years until the face cracked. Then had a second hand Ping G5 as a stop gap but it lasted for 2 years. Now got a Titleist 910 D3 that I got new and has been in the bag for 3 years.

Cobra SS370 until the rules on COR were due to change then bought a Callaway 454 which I've had ever since though it has had a new shaft in about 2009. Tried loads of others and never found one I like better so never needed to change.

I've owned about 4 drivers in the past 10 years or so. A Taylormade Burner that I still use from time to time and is my reference club that I go back to when my swing goes to pot. A Cobra BioCell which is my current driver - a lovely looking driver which is long and fairly forgiving at times. I've also dabbled with a Titleist D2 910 which was OK but felt a bit dead (maybe it was the shaft) and a Taylormade R1 in black which looked gorgeous, but I just couldnt live with the sound it made.

Pretty sure its only 3 for me, and been a fair bit of the time Ive not carried a driver.

Currently a Taylormade SLDR, before that was a Titleist 910D3 and before that I think it was a Callaway FT3

Thankfully this isnt putters as the list would be a little bit longer!!!!!

:eek::eek::eek:

An MD "draw" one. Got rid of pretty quickly.
A Cleveland of some sort. Too light. Got shot.
Ping G10. Loved it. Don't know why I sold it.
Ping G15. Loved it at first and then Murph put the hex on it. The mate I sold the G10 to wouldn't sell me it back.
Ping I15. It was pretty good, but I fancied a change.
Cobra S2. Pretty good.
Cobra Bio-Cell. Jury is out at the moment. Current weapon of choice.
Nike Covert 2.0 Yet to bash

Titleist 975 - Was not good enough to use it
Cleveland Hi Bore XL Driver - Loved the look of it but I bought it with a stiff shaft which was not right for me
Callaway Diablo - Like it, pinched by my son
Taylormade Burner Driver - Very good. All faults with it are my own. When I swing well, when, it goes straight and far enough for me. Good club, wasted on me at times. Feels, despondent...........:(

I have gone for 8+..the ones I remember:

Covert 2.0
913 D3
SLDR
Covert
VR Pro Limited Edition
R11
S2
Dunlop Loco (my first ever!)

I am pretty damn sure there are more in there as well...especially between the R11 and VR Pro, but I'll be damned if I can remember them!!
