How good is a Dunlop Reaction Driver?

Question

I was at Sportchek today and saw a dunlop reaction driver for 25 dollars

i am a newer golfer and usually hit the ball 160 with my driver and straight with a minor slice

will this club improve my distance and accuracy?

thanks

Answer 1

Accuracy and distance have more to do with your golf swing rather than a piece of equipment......If you want to buy the driver....the Price is sure cheap enough....Just don't expect the slice to go away and your drives to be 50 yds longer until you fix your swing.

Dunlop is basically junk to be honest.  You are much better off buying an older model of a name brand club with a higher loft on it (10.5 degrees of loft to 12 degrees of loft), something such as Cobra, Ping, Callaway, Cleveland, Titleist, Nike, Adams, Taylor Made, Nickent, etc.

Remember, distance is created by solid contact and a faster clubhead speed.  If you are hitting your current driver 160 on avg, chances are, it may be more beneficial to work on your technique to increase distance.  

With the driver, the ball is positioned even with the inside of your left foot (for a Right Handed golfer), and the goal is to tee it high and sweep the ball off of the tee.  The best swing thoughts i can give you (only think of 1 at a time) is to get the big & small muscles of the upper body to work together, make a full shoulder turn (getting your left shoulder under your chin), and do the toe up drill - set up to the ball then take the club back until it is waist high.  At this point, you want the toe of the clubhead to be pointing to the sky.  Make this very short swing, going waist high to waist high, and after impact, when the club gets back to waist high again, your clubhead should again be pointing toward the sky - hence the toe up to toe up name.
