I need a new driver... I will have bout $120 and I'm lookin on eBay.

Here's my options:

-Cleveland Launcher 460
-Callaway ERC Fusion
-Titleist 983K
-Cobra COMP 414


Out of the 4 which is better? I am a mid-handicap at 13 years of age.

Thanks.

I played with a guy last week who had just bought an R7 425 to replace his Talylormade burner. He was simply amazed at the distance and trajectory he was getting. He was keeping right up with me distance wise in comparison to my 400cc R7. I really have no experience with anything but TaylorMade drivers so I can't really comment on anything in your price range. My best advice would be to be patient and find the best possible price on Ebay. Load up your items to watch and wait until the last minute to bid.

mine wouldn't be in my bag if i wasn't simply bashing the living crap out of every shot i hit with it so straight. i'm driving the ball just amazingly right now.

i still think the burner has some life left in it, once its gone i'm going for a regular R7 or a launcher 460, i'll just pull the shaft out of my burner and stick it in those, because the shaft has single handedly changed my driving. i've gained about 10 yards in carry and another 10 in roll, and i'm hitting more fairways than i ever have. i got a steal on it originally thanks to the release of the R500 series. i've already gotten my money out of it, but i just don't see any sense in changing while i'm hitting it so damn good.

Don't buy any of them without at least hitting them. I made a mistake when I bought the Nike Ignite without really hitting it (I had hit it at the range about a year prior). Guess what? I hated the thing. I bought a 983K. I hit it several times and loved it.

Demo, demo, demo...be patient. It will be worth it.
