Finally decided on my third driver!

I picked up a used hibore 9.5* with a speeder 757 at the local shop for 134 bucks. I've been looking for a cheaper driver to tinker with and when I stumbled across this I couldn't believe it. I took it to the range this morning and wow this thing is smooth. I was hitting em right down the middle with a nice smooth swing. This thing produces a lot less sidespin than my ft3 tour with the ys6. Distance was about the same if not a bit longer than the ft3. My bad shot is to get the club stuck behind me and hit a toe hook.....with the ft3 this shot would come out with a lot of hook spin and sometim,es run out of bounds.....with the hibore it was starting down the middle with just a minimal amount of hook spin....it would probably still be in the fairway. Anyway I think my driver search is over for a while, just figured I'd pass the info along.

Yep....I think so too....it looks like it's never been hit. I guess they don't look at the shaft when doing trade in value.

equipmentjunkie,

How do you like your Srixon W506 driver? I was at the Milwaukee golf show today and they looked nice.

Well.....It's a nice club and has a good look to it, but for some reason I just can't get used to it. When my swing is really on I love it, when I'm off a little bit I think the hibore will be much better. I'm thinking of trading the W506 on a couple of new wedges.
