Which driver is best for a slice. the taylormade r7 draw driver or the taylormade burner draw driver?

Answer 1

Lessons

Answer 2

I walked up to the counter at d**k's Sporting Goods two months ago with the R7 Draw.  The guy at the counter was a PGA pro.  He asked me why I wanted the draw.  "A slice" of course was my answer.  He told me he could fix that in 20 seconds and then stood beside me and held my wrists while I swung the club from right to left and turned my wrists over in the middle of the arc.  He told me the club face being open at impact was the cause and not to worry about the swing plane as much.  I don't think I really believed that this would cure my slice but I bought the R7 425 instead of the draw-baised driver.

I went to the course that evening and immediately got a changed ball flight by turning my wrists over.

I'm still working on getting a consistent straight ball but now I know exactly what I am doing wrong and can consciously change the ball flight by manipulating the club face at impact.

The pro at *****' advice was go with the neutral driver if you are willing to practice.  If not, then get the draw driver and don't worry about it.  I think it was sound advice.

If you go with the draw driver, I would suggest the R7 as it is cheaper and just as capable of a club as the burner.

Answer 3

Both of those are good drivers.......you can't go wrong with either one.

However, I gotta agree with the other folks who've answered.  One "driver" lesson with a decent pro should help identify the swing flaw that's causing the slice.  Ironically, I have a "driver" lesson scheduled today at 12:30PM to help fix a swing flaw I've recently developed.

Lessons in my area only cost around $30-35 for a 30 minute lesson.

Answer 4

Not to pound it in, but another reason to fix the slice with a lesson rather than a club is that sooner or later, as your swing develops, you are going to struggle with a hook...  Will you then buy a "slice" driver?

Answer 5

i have read alot of reviews on the r7 all are good

Answer 6

normaly the person holding the club

Answer 7

Dont buy clubs to fix your slice...I almost made that mistake.  Tell yourself you're not spending a dime on new clubs until you fix it and then reward yourself from the practice, lessons, more practice, and whatever it takes to get yourself swinging correctly with a new club then you won't have to worry about it.  I know this doesnt directly answer the question but it is what you should honestly be doing.  It worked for me.

Answer 8

Get lessons, then tryout the clubs.
