Forum Thread of the Day: “What drivers have you played this year?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from ORT who asks WRXers what drivers they have tested out so far in 2019. Our members talk about the new drivers they have tried out this year and discuss their thoughts, both positive and negative, on some of this year’s new additions.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Moo: “Started the year with my trusty 910 D2, which I’ve been playing since Edison invented the light bulb. Got a Rogue with Evenflow Blue that lasted all of one week. It was long and wrong for my swing, as I visited a number of forests on the right side of the courses I was playing far too often. Then I found the TS2. Home. I have three shafts for it, but just one is on it 99% of the time (Diamana Whiteboard). Is the TS2 the longest driver out there? No idea. It’s long enough for me, and the ball goes to where I want it to go. It’s like the 910 D2 with a much, much larger sweet spot (I’m not actually convinced it is not much more than say 10 yards longer than the 910 D2).”
- Birdyjuice: “910 D2 with Diamana D+ x5ct to begin the year. Been playing this driver since the dawn of man. Decided to “upgrade”. Went with an M6 with Smoke shaft. Great numbers but did not like the feel, swapped shafts to a Tensei blue pro. Still did not love it. Tried a TS3 with an Even Flow T1100 and it was like putting on a familiar glove. Looking forward to the next 8-10 years with his combo!”
- NJpatbee: “I have been playing a Ping G15 10.5-degree regular flex driver for years and have tried several Ping, Callaway, Titleist and other drivers but found no reason to switch from the Ping G15. It may be because I am a senior golfer with an 85 mph swing and I also dislike the idea of an adjustable club (no moving parts). When the face on the G15 cracks reducing performance, I will have to get serious about replacing it.”
- Moonlightgrm: “I attended a “demo-day” in May. I hit the Titleist, Ping, and Taylor Made drivers. I purchased the Taylor Made M5 with a Mitsubishi Tensei orange shaft.”
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
