Time for a new Driver...Which One???

I have narrowed it down to these 3 drivers and from what I am coming from..... Any of these will be an upgrade from the driver in my sig.

Anyway I have thought about these drivers and haven't hit any but do like the feel of all of them.

First is the Nike SQ Sumo 10.5*
http://www.3balls.com/product-productid/179916

Next is the CLEVELAND HI-BORE XL 10.5*
http://www.3balls.com/product-productid/125867

And last is the The Cobra Speed LD F 10.5*(Or possible the Cobra SS 460)
http://www.3balls.com/product-productid/179655


Mostly I am torn between the Nike and Cobra but wanted to get some feedback of pros/cons of both.

Thanks

Nike SuMo for me out of the 3 you've listed. I like the looks and the feel off the face from the SuMo. The XL didn't have the WOW factor when middled and the Cobra is very LOUD!!! Whats your handicap? That Cobra is super easy to hit straight but for me the SuMo is the best of the bunch.

Right now I am playing a 13 hc, and I think for the price of the SUMO it seemed like it would be hard to beat.

I did hit a TM Burner the other day and couldnt miss the fairway. Shortest of the 5 drives I hit with it being 275 and the longest being 310, but I dont have the funds right now for it

I'd go for the SUMO then it's probably the closest to the Burner out of the 3 and having hit the Burner and SUMO I actually prefer the SUMO..

So even the SUMO that I have selected, I think being the last model will be the best out of the 3?

Yes but I'd be tempted to pay the extra $10 and go for this one;- http://www.3balls.com/product-productid/138625 Alot better condition and the headcover is included.

Nice find

I would not use the headcover bc of my Duke BlueDevil, but definately having one for when I resell will help

and the condition alone is worth the extra $10


I cant believe when I bought my driver(in sig) brand new it was $300

That Duke hc will cost you at least $50 when you sell the club, so spending the $10 to get a decent hc is a good idea!
