What driver is everyone playing in 2022

[Toxic]

The new Titleist TSr4 driver is out.
No idea how to upload pics from a mobile but it looks sensational

If I was a half decent ball striker, I would eat one of them up for sure

Pretty much what the other lads have said. It's a very consistent but rather unforgiving club. A faders club really with the low spin, I find it takes the left side out of play completely and is ultra reliable (for me anyway).

I've tried some of the newer models but I find them too light and inconsistent, notwithstanding that they may go a bit further. My game plan needs me to be in the fairway, and the SLDR does that for me better than anything I've ever used before (that wasn't made of wood). If you are a slogger/home run hitter, then you'd probably be better off with an M2 or SIM, but for whatever the distance gains, you'll likely give them back by being frequently in the forest/water/shizen etc.

Thanks Jack, might get it out of the cupboard and put it in the Jones golf bag with my old Ping 1 iron, the Wilson 8802 and the alignment sticks..........then go sit at the bar.

Perry,
you would get more street cred with the Power Pod! (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/310387174927)

I got on the SLDR train very early when they came out. After using it for a few months I picked up a Jetspeed when they were clearing them out for peanuts. Compared the 2 with the same shaft and loft settings. Found the Jetspeed launched a lot lower. Also tried the JDM SLDR 430. That was a great driver that I wish I had kept. Only moved it on as it had good currency still at the time.
I didn’t find the SLDR to be massively unforgiving like many claim. Only stopped using it after trying a BiO Cell+ and that was only retired after hitting the Titleist TS2.
Tried and wanted to like the F9 but it was a complete pig. In the F9’s defence it didn’t have its original shaft. Need to find a better matching shaft and/or add weight to the head as when testing against the TS2 on my scales the F9 was heaps light.

Most recent for me have been the G425LST and TSi2.

TSi2 appears to be more forgiving on huge mishits, but it's a really close call on minor mishits. Despite the LST being the low spin variant, it's still PING forgiving. Sound is far better with the TSi2, but the the LST isn't as 'loud' as the MAX variant, so really isn't all that bad from my perspective. The LST also feels very solid. Good strikes with either will go roughly the same distance for me, but I don't hit them very far so I'm not finding the limits of either driver. Higher flight with the TSi2 as you would expect. I'm toying with the idea of the LST being my windy weather club, and using the TSi2 when the conditions are better.

For my game, the G425MAX would likely be the best fit... but I just can't come at the noise. Each to their own I guess.

Cobra LTD-X....still getting used to it and playing around with the loft searching for the right traj.

Cobra gorn picked up a TM Sim 2 to try during the week. I have never gotten along with Cobra drivers and the tradition has continued, back to TM.

TM Stealth. Replacing a Tsi2.

I was fitted at Pureform during one of their 1/2 price promotions and the numbers were notably better than the other new drivers and slightly better than my Tsi2. SMash Factor was down a bit, ball speed was up a bit.

I'm always somewhat dubious about such 'improvements' as I've done a few fittings over the years and had pretty much the same 'winning' numbers with a different driver each time.

However I like the look, feel and sound of the Stealth better than my TSi2. It reminds me of my much loved TM R7 for some reason. So I bought a used one with their shaft recommendation, then swapped that out for the funky VA Vylyn with no real difference.

I think Trackman numbers are optimistic compared to on course numbers, especially at course like my local (Moore Park) which has no run, but I've hit a couple of drives as long as I've hit anything in the past 10 years and it feels like there is a bit less drop-off on toe hits (my miss) than the TSi2.

Feel and sound are big improvements, if not quite as pleasant as the Callaway Rogue LS.

The only bummer is that due to the face, everyone you play with immediately knows you have a fancy and pricey new driver.

First tee duck hooks are even more embarassing.

Just changed out my 9015D for a Rogue LS, seems to go alright, hate the sound.

Marketing aside, did meaningful, objectively measurable gains in driver tech peak in about 2008? I have drivers from all sorts of moments since then and none of them are measurably better than the other.

[PeteyD]

New and shiny.

TM burner 07 TP tour heads. All time.

I recently got fitted into a Stealth plus but I think the shaft had a lot more to do with it all

Still can't go past my sim. Especially on a course where you might use driver six times a round. Bang for buck is just not there.

So this may have changed. Got the Ping G425 max in the bag now.

Drivers I wish I'd never sold- 07 Burner TP Version 1.

I've kept one of these in the shed. Some things you just can't let go!

Adams 9032 for me.

I still have one in 9.5*. It's not going anywhere.
That and the TMTBTPWB. They are the litmus test to which all other drivers are compared, for me.

Adams 9032 for me.

Actually, I have one of these also

[simmsy]

ahahahhaa. if you ever sell it let me know. not sure i would buy but never know.

[dM.]

Tour burner TP version. Possibly the best I ever had. Mind you OG R11 was pretty good. Def miss the chalky white driver heads.

Sold it somewhere. But seriously good drivers

classic Ozgolf there from Doddsy!

The ongoing fascination with additional length is always amusing, but if you can't hit the big dog straight almost all of the time then spending big on the latest and greatest is a waste of money.

[markTHEblake]

Its easy to say that when you are an old flusher.

[Webster]

I'm not that old.

[sms316]

I'm not that old.

Yes you are. You can play seniors now (in NSW where they have the age minimum correct).
