ballhawk Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Question for you "senior" players, so anyone with a swing speed of 90+ need not respond. What driver has any one found that gave you that extra pop? Bobbers 1 Quote Total Callaway bag - except putter Link to comment

What driver has any one found that gave you that extra pop? The Gen5 PXG and the Cobra LTDx are neck and neck for me. Each one is 10.5 degree for me so I have a range of adjustments available. ballhawk 1 Quote Ping G430 Max 10.5* Ping G430 SFT 3 wood and Ping G430 HL 7 wood SR flex Ping G430 4,5,6,7 hybrids SR flex Cleveland Launcher XL Halo 8,9,P,G, SW irons A Flex Cleveland Smart Sole S wedge A Flex Cobra Nova putter Link to comment
Bossfan Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have a Tour Edge EXS 220. The ball really jumps off it. I’ve heard some good things about the Sub 70 driver. If it’s anything like the fairway wood I have the ball really comes off that well. ballhawk 1 Quote D- Tour Edge EXS 220 4W- Sub 70 949X Hybrid- Sub 70 949X Utility- Sub 70 699 U 21 degree Irons- Sub 70 749 5-PW Wedges- Sub 70 286 50+54, Tour Edge 1 out 58 degree Putter- Cleveland Huntington Beach soft # 11 Ball- Titleist Tour Soft Link to comment
Dweed Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) I found that extra pop by using a Ping G400 SFT. I used to use the Adams Fast 12 but switched a few years ago. I felt the difference right away.

ballhawk Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Appreciate the reply's...........I attempted to search for the question asked, but I apparently used the wrong wording, so thanks for the link to the testing review. Kind of surprised that a Wilson driver was in the mix and considered the most forgiving. Kenny B and Bobbers 2 Quote Total Callaway bag - except putter Link to comment
fozcycle Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I gamed a PXG 0211 w/Evenflo Riptide CB regular shaft but since my new irons were Senior flex I decided to get a Senior shaft for my PXG. Best way was to buy from PXG Express off eBay. Found the same shaft as in my 0211 so I bought it for just over $100. It came with an 0811 XF (12*) head so I tried it out and to my surprise I liked the 0811 better than the 0211. So now I game the 0811 XF w/Evenflo Riptide CB Senior shaft. ballhawk and Rickp 2 Quote Driver: 0311 XF 10.5* w/Project X Cypher 40 gram Senior shaft or 0811 XF 12* w/Evenflo Riptide CB Senior shaft Fairways: 0211 5W & 7W w/ Evenflo Riptide CB regular shaft and Tour Edge E521 9W w/Fubuki HD50 regular shaft Hybrid: None in bag at the moment Irons: Titleist T300 5-PW w/Fubuki MV Senior graphite shafts w/Golf Pride Tour Wedges: Edison forged 49*, 53* and 57* wedges with KB PGI Senior shafts(80 grm).

Kind of surprised that a Wilson driver was in the mix and considered the most forgiving. Nothing wrong with Wilson. I was using the D300 driver until a couple of years ago when I compared it to the Epic Max, Ping, and Titleist drivers. Bought the Epic Max; the Ping was a close second. Based on the recent MGS Most Wanted, I would probably give the Stealth a try now, but I like my Epic Max so I would also try the Rogue ST Max. I didn't fair well with PXG. Everyone will different things with each driver, and one will provide better performance than the others; it's up to you find the one for you. cnosil and Dweed 1 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment

Interesting, what was the difference between them? I tried the 0211 with the 40g shaft and for me, it was just to light and I didn't see any distance improvement. In fact I actually lost a little distance. Bobbers and Rickp 2 Quote Total Callaway bag - except putter Link to comment

The 12* 0711 XF head launched higher and straighter than the 0211 10.5* pushed to 12*. The 0211 is supposed to be more forgiving but since I am now looking at 14/14 FIR I don’t see the need to put the Senior shaft into the 0211.
