| Hi Ryan
Drivers are very personal things, people will swear by their own no matter what anyone else says.
From my point of view, I am more than happy with my titleist driver, 983K.
I made the switch from callaway a couple of years back and for me and my game it has been a big help.
There are loads of good drivers out there but dont buy one on a reccomendation. You must try a few out and make sure that the one you are paying for is one that you hit well.

| I have tried a Hi-bore and have not hit anything longer or straighter yet, plan on picking one up sometime.

| buy the one you hit best even if it is a demo and you hit it well buy that one. don't believe " we'll order you one just like it" find the one and buy the one. I play early in the season with a Nickent and later with a G2 and both are demos. |

| I have a Callaway Titanium Bertha II Pro that I control well and a Taylormade r7 Quad I hit a country mile with less control that the Callaway, so I change back and forth depending where I am playing and which courses are more open and can tolerate the occasional wilder shot with the Taylor.
My favorite driver of all time, the one I won tournaments with and still recall being the closest thing to an extension of my body and mind was a mid 70's persimmon, deep faced Toney Penna driver. I could do ANYTHING with that club.

Best thing is go get tested on a launch monitor for the proper shaft. All the high end drivers will work fine with the right shaft for your swing speed.
