Went to the pro shop (more like shack) about a week and a half ago. Tried a couple of the demo clubs from last year they were selling after they re-shafted them. Tried the Ping G5 and a Nike Sumo2. Both were 9.5*. I hit both clubs fairly well, but not as well as I would of liked. I really struggle to get loft on my drives. So I passed up the used equipment.
2 day later I got my tax return....whoohooo.
I had tried a Burner driver of a friends last year and liked it. So I decided that would be the next club I tried. I had my driver speed clocked once last year at 105mph. I think I probably am slightly higher than that as my 5 iron speed was at 98mph.
So I was looking at a 10.5* with a stiff shaft. Unfortunately they didn't have one on hand, but they did have the draw model. So I thought I'd give it a try.
About 60 range balls and 9 holes later of using it with the tape on it, I decided to buy it. This club has performed better than I thought it would. I have a nice ball flight now with lots of carry. On avg I am hitting this club about 5-10 yards further than my great hits with my dad's Nike Sumo.
At my home course, all the trouble and out of bounds are on the right side. The draw model gives me the confidence to not worry about it. I can aim down the right hand side of the fairway and even if I hit it off center it stays straight on that line and goes for long ways. When I get a good swing on the ball it has a nice 15-20 yard draw that puts me dead center in the fairway.
I've had this club for about 10 days now. I've had quite a few drives over 300 yards, and I am yet to hit a ball perfectly on the screws. I have hit a lot very close to perfect, but none perfectly in the sweet spot and it's still out performing any other driver I've hit.
