can you help

[slicer]

:? im confused as to which driver to upgrade too
on ebay they have new drivers of
taylor made r7 230.00
taylor made r5 187.00
cobra x speed 137.00
callaway big bertha 270.00
srixon tour driver 175.00

i have a srixon 3 wood which can get between 200-210..
will any of these get me more distance?

[Scottt]

Forget distance, get a driver that is STRAIGHTER. I see more birdies made from the cut stuff than the rough.

If you insist on a dick measuring contest, the r5 or X Speed are your weapons of choice.

But yeh, have fun hittin 8 iron from the rough.

[slicer]

so do you recomend any? i currently have a mactec dr1 nvg 9.5

Stay away from R7 on ebay, too many fakes. Cobra is noisy as shit, depends on what you like.

R5 is value, Big Bertha is ugly... bottom line, get a G10 :lol:

They will probably all go as well as the other, is what you are comfortable to look at.

[SupaSubi]

yeah - drivers are fun for the range :)

i agree with 3 - cobra drivers sound terrible...

i have a G2 and love it - you could probably source one cheaper than any of the ones in your list

slicer what is your handicap?

[slicer]

should i stay with my driver then ? didnt realise they have fake clubs..
jack i dont have one at the moment used to be 18 with my social club
but work arvos so hard to get regular games. also some of my irons the 5 and 6
seem to be heavier( wilsons) dont tell me there fake !!
is the g2 and g10 oversize too?
sorry for asking

[Sasquatch]

Slicer, try slicing 1" off your current driver shaft before you buy another driver. I just did this & it made a HUGE difference.

[Fishman Dan]

18 social club handicap?

Anything made by PGF would suit fine.

all horrible choices. The one you have is fine in comparison.

if you really need to change something, get a new shaft in it. will make the world of difference.

[slicer]

also would love some good quality irons with a good feel and not too heavy, any thoughts?
yes dan.( great you love fishn as well !!)
used to play for a mob called tnt in melb here a few years back
where we played quite alot down near the beach
love the game and now one of my boys is taking it up

thanks mark

good question - because they have more skill than me, its not the clubs :)

[slicer]

how come some irons seem to go the same distance ?

[Davemason]

Slicer if you are after a good quality non fake TM club I've got a brand new std non TP r7 425 9.5* with a stiff shaft if you are interested.

[slicer]

is it wise to adjust the weighted screws on the driver?

[markTHEblake]

how come some irons seem to go the same distance ?

then a new driver is not going to change much at all, except burn holes in your pocket as you keep chasing that elusive perfect club

Tell us where you are, someone her will know a decent Pro or Clubfitter who can give you some advice on the best way to improve your game.

[slicer]

thanks dave,will let you know if i lose any more balls in the drink !!
got all excited on ebay when saw cheap drivers and confess to know zilch
about them

[poidda]

I have an R7 quad sitting in the garage you can have for $150 or so.

[goonie]

The R5 is a good driver. But maybe you should invest in some lessons with a Pro first, before you try to improve by buying new clubs. Some of the guys here might be able to recommend someone in your area.

[slicer]

thanks mark although i went to a pro in cranbourne who changed my grip,style ,stance which set me back a few years played terrible golf
so bit wary of some of them, now go to pro in pakenham who is very good

[goonie]

What does your Pro have to say about your clubs and how they suit you?

[3oneday]

Steady on there mate one of those to many fake r7 on ebay is mine up for salegood luck then Dave, I'm only trying to help a guy out, if I had said 50% are fake would you have got your hackles up ?

Dave's isn't fake 8)

[Davemason]

Dave's isn't fake 8)

i really dislike pros who try to change everything in one go...

I can't help it. I broke back into single figures last weekend and now I can't help but feel that it's my duty to act superior and tell everyone what's best for them :lol:
