Need advice on new Driver purchase

Featured Replies

You really arent much of a salesman 98. When the man comes in looking to buy a driver, you sell him the driver!

 

Now, in that price range, you won't be able to get any of this year's models more than likely. You will have to look into the last year or two to get a new one, or you will have to look at a used one. Last year, the TaylorMade Burner ran at about 300 bucks brand new, and it is a pretty good one that I recommend to high handicappers. Also, the TM r7 draw is one that was selling for 200 late last year that is good for high handicappers who slice the ball.

 

On EdwinWattsgolf.com Ping G10's are a solid driver going at 300 bucks. Callway BB460's are okay and are 199, as well as the Cleveland HiBoreXL. I havent hit the XL, but have heard some good things about it. If you like the square look, Nike's Sumo2, is on there for 199, and the regular Sumo is also at 199. Nickent is really coming along with their technology and all of their drivers should be under 300.

 

A friend of mine has been a big fan of RockBottomGolf.com, so you might take a look there. In my opinion, if its not Titleist, Ping, TaylorMade, Cobra, Callaway, or Nike on drivers, its questionable on whether you will be getting the best. Hope I've helped. Of all the ones I listed, the top dog is probably the Burner.

 

I'd follow bell's advice, from what i understand he knows what he's talking about. If you can stand the unusual "crack" of the Nike Sumo SQ squared, I'd say thats your best bet. It's straight and very forgiving, without sacraficing any distances. :thumb:

Do the Sumo's come in a "draw" ?

Just about all of the "standard" drivers are going to be 2 degrees closed. To get one that is not closed at all is generally going to be a "Tour" or "Pro" model.
