Looking to purchase a driver, what do you use?

R9... the only club in my bag I can hit well(occasionally)... and that isn't so hot, but if I can hit it well, in someones hands that is consistent, you could be a rockstar.

Have been using the Cleveland Hibore for the past 3 years. Have tried a few others but this seems to be more forgiving than others (I need that extra forgiveness). Starting to look at the new Monster Hibore.

I hit a Cobra S 9-1 and have no plans to change.

Friend just bought a Taylor Made R9 and is VERY pleased. He has always struggled off the tee and he hitting as well/consistent as I have ever seen him hit.

just got home from trying out about 10 drivers at Dunhams. They did not have any Ping drivers but of all the one I tried the winner was the Taylor Made R9 460. I tried different Taylor Made lines, Callaway and Nikes. I wanna try the Ping ones though before pulling the trigger.

Now, see if you can do a demo on the range or on the course.. most places will let you do this for $10-$20... not bad considering its a $400 driver. Hitting off a mat in the shop is different than teeing up on a 500 yard par 5.

I completely agree. Minimum at an outdoor range. Not sure if Trackman machine is offered in your area but if it is I highly recommend it. It is a great system to get fitted on.
