  1. All the ones you listed are good, solid drivers.  

    What is more important is that you get the correct shaft flex and if possible, you get a shortened length.  At 5'4 the standard length is a little too tall for you, which is going to result in not hitting the ball in the sweet spot.  

    Personally I'd rate them this way:

    1.  Ping G10

    2.  Cleveland Hibore

    3.  Taylormade R7

    4.  Taylormade Burner

    Make sure you get at least a regular flex shaft, if not a senior flex shaft.  If you get the correct shaft for your swing speed, you'll hit it farther, straighter, and have better ball flight.  You should be able to get fitted at your local golf course.


  2. Yo empty tom, you ever hear of Ian Woosnam?  Hit them and see which one gives you the best ball flight and most confidence.

  3. I personally own the Hybore XL and love it.  The burner is also really good (getting the 3w soon)

    Height doesn't matter because any golfstore will order you a custom lenght on the shaft and you can always choke down an inch or two if you need to (or get women's lenght shafts if all else fails -- just stay away from the pink ones, you will get made fun of.)

  4. Try growing first.  Short people suck at golf.

  5. well all of these clubs are really good but i prefer the taylormade burner, thats what i use. you will do good with any of these just remember to get the club fitted to your size....i think you might have to cut an inch off. just take it to a golf shop and they will let you know

  6. I played with a Ping G10 a couple of weeks ago and it felt good.

    My normal driver is the Nike Ignite 460cc and it was comparable to that without even hitting it on the range I was able to work it down the middle.

    Above user is correct that you need to be fitted for your shafts. Standard length shafts will be to long for you. Usually the pro shop will work in a deal with you if you get the driver and woods they will give you a free fitting and do the work as well.

    good luck
