New Driver

[mono217]

I want to buy a new driver but I am not sure which one i have a budget of £300.

I play off a 15 handicap (yes it has come down quickly) .

I have looked but not hit the:

Callaway diablo draw
Callaway Fti draw
Nike sasquash dymo

Any reccomendation comments or help wanted.

Thanks

Connor

Do you ever keep anything longer than a week?

 

[bobmac]

Mono, what's the point in asking for advice?
You'll spend £300 on the latest thing, keep it for 3 months and then sell it for £50 like you did with the SQ 5000
Getting bored now

 

[andiritchie]

They all will work the same right rough,left rough

Just get whatever you like the look of,there was nothing wrong with your SQ tbh

I use a Srixon Z-RW which is working well

Get a grip, and not the multicompound type, a lifestyle one.

I am not sure about you mono, at first I thought you were a wind up, then I thought no, just an over keen kid, now I just think your taking the pish? (that the right saying scots lads?)

You keep asking for advice, but dont take it.
You put items up for sale, but when people shown interest, you declined to follow up.
You asked for items to buy, people offered, and you ignored.

Seriously, what is your game?

In the words of Jim Royal £300 my ar*e

 

[mono217]

Yes I do keep stuff for longer than a week just wanting a bit more accuracy off the t.

 

[USER1999]

Can't see why a new stick will do this, it is the swing which provides the accuracy, not the golf club.

 

[andiritchie]

Spend the 300 notes on a years lessons no driver in the world can get you hitting more fairways

Once you get a driver get used to it,maybe your accuracy problem is from your well closed clubface at the top or flying elbow

You will get better with lessons

I would say the lack of accuracy is down to your over swing. Shorten you swing and stick with the same gear and your handicap will come down.

Having a 15 handicap for your age is good going, stick with it.

I've got to say, you have a lot of money for a fifteen year old. When i was fifteen (only ten years ago) I dont think i ever had more than about a score in my hand at any one time.

Yes I do keep stuff for longer than a week just wanting a bit more accuracy off the t.

Do you think Tiger, Clarke, faldo etc all hit an accurate ball because they had the latest kit?
Id say have a look at your signature picture and you will have an idea why its not going straight. £300 on lessons would be better spent.
Still reminds me of this though.....

 

[andiritchie]

I same ages as you Minty i had £14.50 paper round money just enough to get a sleeve of top flights and a 1/4 of sports mixture

 

[minty18]

Brendy, I cant comment on peoples swings but thats a bloody funny picture.

andiritchie, I was lucky if i made that on my paper round. xmas was always a good time for bonus' but it was about a tenner for me the rest of the year.

 

[andiritchie]

I was 6'7 when i started my paper round now iam 5'10 thats how many papers i had to do for £14.50

 

[minty18]

I earned about £1.50 for each day i did my paper round. One day i put the wrong papers in two doors. My old dear made me go and by the papers and put them through the correct doors, one of them was an expensive broadsheet aswell. I was about 25p down that day

 

[andiritchie]

Good service though!

It wouldn't happen with the youth of today

 

[minty18]

both house holders new because I got a tenner of each for my xmas bonus plus the change of what each of the papers cost.... i'm sure they had a little giggle about it.

Apologies for hi-jacking the post.

Christ on a bike!!

I'm in full time work, not a bad wage and even I cant afford 300 brick for a driver!

Get yourself a G10 second hand and stick with it. Get a block of 5 or 6 lessons and take it from there!

 

[Imurg]

Agreed. You can pick one up for just over a ton. Use the rest for lessons. Or - keep what you've got and save yourself a ton!!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Why get the latest gear when you clearly a) won't keep it and b) need some help to use it. Stick with what you have in the bag this week and get some lessons.
