909d2 9.5 (at least twice) & 10.5

R9 460 8.5
Nike STR8 Fit² 8.5
Nike VR Tour 8.5
FT Tour 9.5

These are the drivers I can recall having purchased and played this year. I'd like it to end but I have another driver in transit.

I don't think I've missed any :oops:

[rick3003]

Ban ebay at work

[macjackass]

Good grief!! Get a g15 and be done with it. Or a superfast tp because I really want one

[Yossarian]

Holy shit 3!

[Chris32]

Geez mate, you have owned more drivers than the number of full rounds I have played in the last 15 months! :D

[Webster]

Just get an MX500 and you won't ever need to buy anything else.

[PerryGroves]

The only thing missing is a good putter collection to go with it.

I do stand and applaud the relentless pursuit of perfection.

There are those that will say you are misguided, perhaps even our former PM

Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

[dan]

That's a sickness with no cure.

[BrisVegas]

keep looking, you'll find it.

[Captain Nemo]

Jesus 3, i knew you where bad bwtf?:shock:
A lot of 8.5*'s in there, could that be the catalyst!:-s

[Steve57]

The question is what does he have left?

[ParMaster]

Which worked the best for you?

[3oneday]

Probably the TM crap I think.

[rick3003]

I bet they all went OK,

I don't recall you mentioning any of them were overly crap.....

[KristianJ]

Probably because it'll affect resale. ;)

[3oneday]

No, you are correct as well.

I loved the R9 8.5 and R9 460 8.5. The 909 D2 9.5 Voodoo was excellent, the 909 D3 8.5 Voodoo was superb too.

There are none really any better than others, although I really didn't like the FT Tour but it had an NV75 in it too.

Even the Cobra S9.1 Pro goes well enough, it just sounds....... disturbing, for me :)

Where to next ? $240 for an R9 460 new ? I have the i15 arriving some stage soon but I think it's just another unchartered waters that maybe I shouldn't enter ?

[Pinglauncher]

Get a SUMO

[timah!]

How long does it take you to dislike each club? :S

[LarryLong]

Yet another golfing problem that can be solved by buying another driver!

[Jarro]

Take up lawn bowls ;)

[Lucasto23]

If i where you, i would go back to the R9 460 in 8.5 as they where very good for what they where :)
I should put my list up since joining this site in Nov 2008 it will make you feel better :mrgreen:

[Grunt]

You have had more drivers than I have hit this year!

[markTHEblake]

Take up lawn bowls ;)

That wouldnt help, there are tour bowls

[TheNuclearOne]

Don't you buy most knowing you'll either sell em right away or have a couple of hits and sell them? I thought it was more of a selling hobby. Could be wrong too LOL

[markTHEblake]

We all have to have a hobby, its probaby better that you blow your money on drivers, rather than substances or pokermachines as many do.
The problemyou will have to end up facing if you do give up, is what will you then do, collect stamps?

[Flavzz]

So after all that 3 what have u learnt about all those drivers? Anything really impress? Have u kept any?

[razaar]

Can't see a problem here. My advice is keep searching...buy a new driver.

[rhino62]

Take up lawn bowls ;)

Got the perfect set to sell you - green with yellow speckles (vomit bombs/pumpkins) left handed set. Won me a state title.

[AP81]

I've been through about 7 or so drivers in the last year, however I came to the realisation that it is all a big waste in both time and money. $300 there, $500 here, all for a few more metres.

I now game one driver, have one backup, and a "tinker" driver that I test with different shafts. Rather than buying drivers, I recently started investing in professional lessons which is a better investment IMO.

The funny thing is, I know many people that are driver ho's, but they never change or test new irons. I've found that the right irons can lower your score more than the right driver.

Now, if only I learn to putt decently...

[3oneday]

The funny thing is, I know many people that are driver ho's, but they never change or test new irons. .
best we don't discuss irons.

No one driver has really stood out from the pack, I do recall a Ping G5 with Diamana in my past that gave me wood for a while, but that was maybe years ago.

;)

I don't think I've really lost that much in my pursuit (whatever my pursuit is) and point taken Blakey :)

OK, back to ebay we go !!!!


:lol:

[AP81]

Hopefully you'll like the I15. A damn good stick that one...

[Minor_Threat]

I don't see the K1 Fast Driver (http://www.golftvproshop.com/usa/product_info.php?cPath=2&products_id=2) anywhere in there? :D

[KristianJ]

Does Sam Torrance actually uses the K One Farce gear on the Euro Seniors tour?

[Minor_Threat]

Does Sam Torrance actually uses the K One Farce gear on the Euro Seniors tour?No idea mate, I just have a good laugh each time I see it on Foxtel..

[LarryLong]

Looks to me like you're too hung up on the major brands (resale driven?). If you're going to try a different driver every second time you play golf, why not go for some whacky ideas and see what all the other companies have to offer?

Adams, Wilson, maybe even try a few of those crazy component manufacturers?

I figure if I was in your shoes, with your addiction, I'd set myself a goal of playing every driver on the market in a calendar year. :)

[KristianJ]

No idea mate, I just have a good laugh each time I see it on Foxtel..

As do I...which makes me wonder if he games them. :) The way he says "The Ferrari of Drivers" makes me wonder if he is comparing it to whatever the worst Ferrari ever made was.

[Minor_Threat]

Plenty of pearlers there. :p Post #59 is a highlight.

[3oneday]

Wanker


;)


MP32 lasted 7 months, putter is still there as are the wedges.

[3oneday]

Not cured yet ;)

[macjackass]

Not cured yet ;)

Do tell :mrgreen:

[3oneday]

Just some cheap stuff, to see if it makes any ****ing diff. Brand new Dymo and a VG 909 D2.

[GolfBallWhackerGuy]

Yeah its classic stuff mate.. Sad thing is I'm sure a lot of people have bought them!

Geez. I want one! LoL

[virge666]

I don't see the K1 Fast Driver (http://www.golftvproshop.com/usa/product_info.php?cPath=2&products_id=2) anywhere in there? :D

:lol::lol::lol: - the only club you will ever need.... How about "The Perfect Club", that was doing the rounds a while back...

Pete,

What's in the Bag at present with all those going by the wayside ?

Have you tried any Callaway stuff, or even some cool Japanese driver porn ? The Callaway sound awful and also look awful, but performance wise they are pretty damn good. Sort of like the ugly girlfriend who speaks in a high pitch whine, but when you need her, she can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

FTiz tour in 9.5 in something 70-75gr might be worth a shot, very easy to onsell afterwards too. The iMix is not being continued, so dont spend the extra on it - Cally say it was too expensive.

They are friggin horrible to work on and change shafts... so find one you like assembled.

[3oneday]

Thanks Virge I'll take a look. I didn't really like the FT Tour but did like the look of the FT iz. I'm pleased to hear the iMix is being scrapped, shafts over here were $200+ each, who's gunna keep supporting that ?

This weekend I have the Cobra 8.5 with Graf blue reg. i15 arriving some stage next week, as are the 909 and Dymo.

Always been a Nike driver fan and really only hit the STR8 square this year, so might visit the Dymo first up I think.

[henno]

I liked the FT Tour but didn't much like the FT iz.

Shows what I know.

[3oneday]

FT Tour is probably low launching, one reason why you'd like it I guess ? I real players club, another reason ? ;)

[virge666]

Always been a Nike driver fan and really only hit the STR8 square this year, so might visit the Dymo first up I think.

Explains why you liked that Ping. The Nike and Ping are almost the same club - or if I say it better - they both suit the same kind of swing. Your not going to like the Cobra, though the 8.5 might make it usable. Out of all of them... that 909 is going to be the longest club you hit... but it is also going to be the most wayward. The Titties always feel the best and go the longest - but they just kill you on the forgivness front.

You have such a good move on the transition, I reckon shaft weight is going to be important, you may want to raise it up a touch


FT Tour is probably low launching, one reason why you'd like it I guess ? I real players club, another reason ? ;)

:)

[henno]

It's not so much that I like the FT Tour's low launch as the holy grail or some such (it was like any other driver of spec), but more that I didn't like the FT iz's high launch/spin.

Althought how low I've been hitting the ball since my recent comeback, I might need to reassess my low loft, low launch, low spin preferences.

[3oneday]

What was that, AXIV Core black or Red or something ? 79 ?

[Jarro]

Flipping problems?

Like my dad, even though it was the smoking killed him, he was still puffing on the pipe up until the last day, he only had a month or so off the smoking when the radium stuffed his senses up.

Some people just cant give up.

31d, maybe you should try something drastic, like give all your money to your wife, and then you need a purchase authority to buy a packet of tees?

[3oneday]

That's just sad Blakey.


Cobra went well today, almost actually liked it on the 2nd nine.

Pity I don't feel the same way about the MP-58 :shock: Seriously reminded me of Raven blades !

[Yossarian]

3 did you ever hit the adams crap?

[markTHEblake]

That's just sad Blakey.

ok, maybe not the best idea. How about you give your wife some of your money, but tell her its all of it. With whats left make a bet with Jono, that neither of you will buy any golf clubs for a year.

(or is that too long?)

[TheNuclearOne]

3 did you ever hit the adams crap?


The 9015D didn't suit his tastes at address so he didn't even hit it :evil:

So the ho'ing goes on ;)

[3oneday]

Adams looks woeful.

[Jarro]

I have an idea .....

... why don't you close down your eBay account(s) and buy stuff retail !!!! :shock:

That should do the trick ;)

[Eag's]

Just face it Pete, there is no help for you ;)

[3oneday]

Good idea Mark..... very good idea. Let me just finish these purchases I have going and I might just do that ;)

Might have a cost price sale later this week when everything arrives :)

[3oneday]

Just face it Pete, there is no help for you ;)

There is that too Rich :lol:

Start buying component brand crap?

[3oneday]

Been there, owned a Babylon once.

[TourFit]

I'd like to help you...:oops:

Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to even BE in this thread.

[Hamo84]

Geez mate, you have owned more drivers than the number of full rounds I have played in the last 15 months! :D
