Definitely old reliable. My Tour Edge EXS 220. This will be year number 4. I get plenty of distance and I’ve been consistently over 60% on fairways hit. I have been trying new drivers here and there but I just put new irons in the bag so I’m not in a big hurry to find something.

1 week ago this was a much easier question to answer. 
 

It will be between the QI-10 LS

and the LTDx LS

Either way, I will have a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6x Velocore Shaft in it. 

I’m almost certain you’ll tinker with the shaft 2-3 times during the season though!

I’m sticking with my Titleist TSi3 with the Tensei 1K Black shaft. We got along pretty well last season when it went into the bag in May. Probably will mess with the settings a bit but, no real complaints from me.

Same here man. I actually just sold my Ping G425 and went back to the EXS pro because I just hit it better and more consistently.  Shaft is Ventus Red TR S flex

I cant seem to decide from these two but I tend to get less spin with the EXS Pro so Ill probably lean towards that.

I have every intention of sticking with my TSR2 with a Ventus Blue 6s.  
That said, I can see kicking some tires, especially with a new Ventus out.

Sticking with the Paradym this year but upgraded the shaft from a Ventus Blue 7s to a Ventus Black 6s. I don’t see myself getting a new driver for a couple years. unless there are some big improvements when I demo

Don’t have a need for a new driver and the new releases this year haven’t been a big improvement to make a move.

After watching the Titleist “feel” video, have been thinking about a TSR (was between a TSR 2 and 3).  Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on perspective), my local store didn’t have a LH demo available to hit…

My Sim 2 Max heard me mentioning a new driver and performed very well for me today…might have to keep it around a while longer if it keeps up.  Was long and hitting a consistent shot shape all day long.  It has been quite a while since I could say that!

I alternate between 2 drivers:  a Ping G425 Max with a UST Mamiya MP5 in ladies flex and a PXG Gen 5 0311XF with Graffaloy ProLaunch Blue 45 in senior flex.  I like both, but my first pick is the Ping.

I believe I already mentioned the Paradym TD being the go to for the season. My honest biggest debate is to see if I even want to try any others. Based off the range session that will be a no. 

Now as for what shaft is going to be the go to. That is an entirely different matter!

At least initially, will be using my old reliable, Callaway Big Bertha 10.5 degree, purchased new in 2014. Still hit it very well, but am looking to upgrade hopefully this year. Will be testing the new Callaways, Ping, Srixon, Titleist and TM drivers. image.png.43834d856b7dd3a700a53d9af9bb36ee.png
