Proby Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 New to this sight, just stumbled on it really , but enjoy the information that I've seen so far. Golfing this past Monday, at the only course around, KWGC, and absolutely CRUSHED a drive, that went 305 yds (I'm usually around 260-270) with almost NO ROLL ,because of the 4+" of rain we had Saturday, However on the next par 4, the driver shaft broke, and the head and half the shaft went into a nearby house. It was an 8 year old Nike, Don't remember the name, so Now, I'm looking for a new driver, and the Ping G25, and the New Callaway X2Hot, are my current front runners. Thoughts ?? I am usually between 100-110, after an honest round of math, and golf. Thanks for any input; Proby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Welcome! I'll actually be in Key West for a week in early Feb and I'll be golfing at KWGC. When I found out about the trip I googled golf courses in Key West and was disappointed to find that there's only one even remotely in the area, so hopefully it's a decent course. After this brutal winter here in MN so far, I'm just excited to even golf at all though. As for the drivers, I've never liked Ping drivers. It's nothing against Ping, but they just don't ever seem to quite fit my eye. On that alone I'd go for the X2Hot between the two. It's all about feel and performance though. Get fit! Again, welcome, and enjoy the site!

EJ Mac Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Welcome aboard and good luck on the driver hunt. A lot of what to look for will depend on what fits your eye and your swing, oh and let's not forget budget. Wish I could chime in on the newer offerings but my thin wallet keeps me rocking the old school cheapies.

MarcKilgore Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I keep saying I need to visit the Keys... I didn't think there were any golf courses down there... maybe I'm going to have to talk the wife into visiting down there over the winter after all.
