Used Driver Advice- Under $100

[JEFF4i]

Honestly, interpreting what I can out of you, I'd say Launcher is probably the way to go, or XL.

Titleist's are notoriously on the, harder to hit, spectrum of drivers. If you're getting it out there 200-220, I'm guessing that you're going to be wanting fairways above all else, not bomb and gouge. If that's the truth, the Launcher is a long driver, but forgiving, and the XL is quite forgiving, without giving up much.

So here what i'm looking at

Titleist 983K Titanium Driver 9.5 S flex speeder Nice ! - eBay (item 200267243564 end time Oct-31-08 07:02:52 PDT)

OR

Geek Golf DCT Dot Com This Driver 10.5* YS-6 Stiff - eBay (item 110304108115 end time Oct-30-08 13:07:23 PDT)

OR

?

FWIW, the 983K is a classic. Super driver!!! Solid and long. I carried a K w/Titty Speeder in 10.5 for a long, long time. In fact, wish I had never sold it!!!

You can find the K's pretty cheap. I enjoyed the Titty Speeder. Others preferred the YS6 that was common in the K's. My first K had the YS6 and I couldn't keep it in the fairway. The Titty Speeder was as predictable as could be.

Your mileage may vary......

cool thanks for the info, i'm certainly leaning towards a 983k. I really like my 904f 4 wood, and its a bit on the small size compared to other woods. How tip stiff is the speeder in a 983K?

 

[limpalong]

The Titty Speeder is nothing like the 757. If it were extremely stiff, this ol' man couldn't handle it!!! LOL I just like the feel of the Fuji's. Don't seem nearly as "boardy" as the ProForce/ProLaunch to me.

There are so many quality used TM Drivers all over the net.

The way the pump out drivers every year you can pick up numerous older models for under 100$

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. You can find a R510 TP or and R5 TP pretty cheap now and both are great heads.

I picked this up last night, for the money i didn't think i couldn't go wrong. The shaft alone is $70.

Damn I've been wanting to try any of the FS driver. Played the DCT/Creation combo pretty good yesterday though.

Good luck. That Geek head is not very forgiving (or so I've heard).
