Need a New Driver

I might buy the Burner 3W. R9 3W is a little more than I would like to spend on a club I don't hit often.
 
Can't go wrong with Taylormade. Either the Burner or the r9. I would say that the Burner is more forgiving but you can't quite do as much with the ball as you can with the r9. Just depends on how your game is, if you are an average and a golfer who is still improving the Burner is the way to go until you are getting to the point in your game where you are trying to shape your shots. Both are great drivers though.

I could see how this is true. I bought an R7 a few years ago. My first season I was terrible and hated it. 2nd season I had some glimpses of greatness. This year, I can hit it as straight as I want close to 320 yards.
 
Just won this on Ebay for $159.50 including shipping.

Congrats on probably buying a counterfeit club. I avoid E-Bay like the plague when it comes to buying new clubs. I'd say a good 80% of the clubs on there are counterfeit. Even the used ones.

I also tend to avoid Taylormade's latest stuff just because it's always overpriced and doesn't hold it's value well.

At any rate, it's all reasonable stuff performance-wise, and I'm sure you'll have fun with it, so that's all that really matters :)

The description says seller is from Myrtle Beach, and he won the club as a prize in a tournament.

Also what do you mean it doesn't hold it's value well? It's not like it's a car. . .
 
Just because the seller is from the US doesn't mean anything. I see tons of fake stuff come by all of the time. If you have the eye and ear for it, its simple to spot the fakes. Like I said earlier, if it's new and the price is lower than advertised, its fake.
 
I bought the new Adams Speedline driver this year, after having a Calloway Steelhead for years. I hit the Steelhead very well, so I didn't realize how out of date it really was until I put the Speedline in the bag. Night and day.

For my money, the Titleist 909 3 wood is about as good as it gets.

I just need some new wedges, but can't decide between Cleveland or the Vokey's.

Any thoughts here?
 
I golfed in a tournament yesterday and the head of my driver broke off on the 3rd hole. I didn't get mad and slam it our anything.

I am looking for a new driver and seriously looking at the TaylorMade R9. Any thoughts or suggestions?


I love my Ping G10
 
My first thought when I saw this thread title was that you went all Jayson Williams on your chauffeur.
 
I love my Ping G10. Absolutely love it.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the importance of the shaft. The shaft is the engine of the club. I'd buy a driver that you enjoy looking down at, enjoy the eye appeal at set-up, and then get fitted for a shaft for it. You can get fitted at Golf Galaxy for $50 but then they take that $50 off the driver when you buy it so it ends up being free. Having the correct shaft for your swing can make a big difference.

I use a stiff shaft. (that's what she said)

So true.
