Going back to old faithful Driver

Just wondering if I am the odd one here. Anyone has the same symptoms as me or is this just a mirage?

Was using the Sumo Driver for the past 12+ months...which I purchased to replace my Clevage lancher 400cc......

Sumo was pretty ok ...better distance but need to embrace the fade nature of it.......But last week, hands itchy, went back to old faithful.....walau..pretty amazed that drives are more predictable and less fade....and distance gap is minimal....

maybe becos its my swing whish is more stable or some good karma....but I am sticking back to my old faithful...

DS, I'm thinking of moving back to my Cleveland Launcher 09 driver too.

now do u want to hear my story?

ahhh...but you steady...unlike me who is suffering fm nostalgic illness where i revert to old driver....

you diff cos you progress with technology......

Yeah, MC is a bad example. You don't go back to your old drivers, you progress forward with your new drivers.

no... i still in the end fall back to TM drivers no matter how much i hate it and try to stay away from it.

I thou you want to buy the Ping I15?

You're not trying the FT-iz, MC?

i did try... *looking at jc's avatar* .. the G15 and i15.... *looking at jc's avatar* .. i like the G15... *looking at jc's avatar* .. more.. it launches easier.... *looking at jc's avatar* ..

i15 is also not that shabby..... *looking at jc's avatar* .. low ball flight... and ball.. i mean... ... *looking at jc's avatar* .. rolls more... due to ... *looking at jc's avatar* .. flight trajectory.


but... ... *looking at jc's avatar* .. i not interested to get either... ... *looking at jc's avatar* .. becuz of the price... ... *looking at jc's avatar* .. it is too ... *looking at jc's avatar* .. BIG.. i mean high... too high. the price is to high... *looking at jc's avatar* ..

i nv liked callaway drivers for some reason. i tried the FT3, FT5, FTi, FT9 and FTiQ.

But the FT-iz is the bre.. I mean best of the Callies so far.

that is what they said of the FT9 too..

i will give it a go when the opportunity arises.

I think FT-3 is good enough....now I am using it.

I really like all of your avatars

Sidetrack a bit.....fabulous avatar!

Me think alike too. Old is gold for me when it comes to driver.
Find it hard to adjust to new head so sticking with my
R7 superquad, with a shaft change though.

Driver is like putter .... u must be feeling confident with the club

i quote a famous golfer once...

"see me use my few hundred year old club..."

Yeah. I agree, Cyp. But that's not always the case for me. In fact, that's hardly the case for me.

Guess...I am a bit extreme......I went back fm 460cc to 400cc driver ...

Guess the term 'pre-historic dino' applies to me here....ahahahahahaha

but also one factor is the feeling but the other one is get club fitted to get the sharft that will optimisez acuracy and distance to get perfect ball flight

After mucking about with a Titty 905R w/ Diamana WB 73S, an R7 Limited TP with TM Diamana 65S, a Ping G10 w/ Fujikura Rombax 6Z08 S, a King Cobra L4V w/ Diamana WB63, and a tour-issued TM 10.7* Tour Burner w/ Diamana Ali'Islei S, I still keep coming back to the TM Tour Burner 9* LCG w/ TM Diamana 63X shaft for distance and accuracy.... don't know why, but this combo, even with X flex shaft really bombs it. Almost as far as the new FT-iz, but I'm not too keen on how that driver feels...

I started with a TM Burner Draw, then a Cobra Speed LD, then a Titleist 905R, and finally back to TM Burner non-draw version. All these within the last 1.5 years.

Still like the TM, but doesn't like the ball flight as i find it a little high. May be new driver next.
