Looking at buying a driver this summer. I'm not a long hitter (about 250, max of 275), and tend to hit a fade more than anything (screwed my swing up years ago working a draw in, when I was locked in to a power fade drive after drive, now it's hit-and-miss). My ball flight is too high for my liking (using Cleveland Launcher right now). I only golf for about 8 weeks throughout the year now, as I got too much going on to play much anymore. My handicap has went from a 4 to around an 8 now.
Here's what I'm looking at and was told:
1. Callaway Rogue ST: was told that this driver is the most forgiving of all out there today. I was told that the spin rate is a bit high, leading to higher ball launch.
2. Cobra LTD: was told that this will have a low ball speed, and will hit low bullets off the tee. Intriguing to me since my ball flight is too high for my liking. But that ball striking was extremely important to optimize direction and distance (more than the other drivers).
3. Taylormade Stealth: was told this is like the Rogue, very forgiving, but high ball spin and higher ball flight.
4. Ping G410: was told that this was a good choice that was in-between all the others, but not as forgiving.
