Whats your fav golf club driver ?

Question

Im thinking of buying a new one and was looking at maybe a King cobra or a Taylor made r7. Whats the difference between a stiff shaft and a flex shaft?

Answer 1

I'm comfortable using Callaway and TaylorMade as well.

Answer 2

Taylormade are very good clubs. i have a burner.

a flex shaft is designed for lower swing speeds. a stiff shaft is better for higher swing speeds.

Answer 3

THe Slazenger Raw. it is a great driver for the money and ***** will give u a wood or rescue free when u buy the driver

Answer 4

Nike SQ. Awesome club

Answer 5

I'm using Taylor Made Burner with flex shaft 9.5 and its great. My club speed between 80 to 90. and hitting it around 245 to 265 yards. I was about to get the King Cobra Driver and Nike Driver 5900,  but I don't like the sound, its so annoying.

Titielist D10 Great

Answer 7

Golf club shafts come in a variety of flex ratings. I've seen all these at one time or another:

- Ladies (L)

- Seniors (A)

- Lite*

- Regular (R, M)

- Firm*

- Wedge*

- Stiff (S)

- Extra Stiff (XS)

The above are roughly in order of stiffness, with obscure ones starred. There is, however, no agreed standard for flex.One firm's regular will be stiffer than another (though any stiff will normally be stiffer than any regular). If you are a normally-built man, you probably want a regular. If you are particularly tall and/or strong, a big hitter, you probably want stiff. The best distance is obtained by having the right flex for your swing characteristics, so that the shaft releases its elastic energy just as you hit the ball.

Stiffness isn't even all of the question. Some shafts have a lower flex point than others - they bend nearer to the club head. This tends to make the ball fly higher. Shafts also have different ratings for torque (resistance to twisting). The weight of the shaft can make a difference to the balance of the club too.

Then of course there's the loft (face angle) of the club. Most amateurs should have a face angle of 11*-12* - even 14* for slow swingers - but most drivers are made with lower lofts of around 10*.

If you are spending big-name money on a driver, make sure you get fitted by a professional (NB better a club pro than a shop assistant at a discount store). Having the right shaft and loft will enable you to hit the ball 20 yards further AND straighter - and the only way to find the right one is to try lots.

To answer your initial question, I have a Benross V10 high loft with an Aldila NVS shaft. I'm very happy with it. I think the right shaft is more important than the right head.

Answer 8

The Taylormade Burner. Best driver I've ever used by far. I was getting explosive distance trying one out at a local golf superstore. I would like one, but they are rather spendy for my budget right now.
