So I went to the range this afternoon and brought nothing but drivers. Five of them to be precise. They were:
1 - Taylor made r5tp - fuji MW54 X flex 44 inches
2 - r7425tp - creation 65 Stiff 44 inches
3 - Ping G2 - V2 reg 44 inches
4 - Quadratic - pure energy reg 44 inches
5 - golfsmith titanium 260 - TTDG lite S300 43 inches
So I hit 2 buckets of balls rotating back and through the various. It is early in the year and my swing is rusty but felt pretty consistent. After hitting each driver at least 40 times I have come to some conclusions, that both surprised me and pissed me off. The best driver of the bunch for accuracy was the small 260cc head with the steel shaft, it wasnt even close. I hit 30 balls within a 10 yard circle. The worst was the Creation 65. This shaft is way to tip stiff for me and is nothing like the 80 I like. The thing that pissed me off and surprised me was that the small headed steel shafted club was second in terms of distance. Only the Quad/PE combo was longer but that was because of the draw/hook it gave me. So I have spent about 3.4 million on drivers over the last 5 years only to find the one I hit best is the one I had all along.
Fuk me!
