From Zach,
golfer: |
|
I am looking to buy a driver. What do
you think is honestly the best driver out there right now? I am looking
for accuracy first and then distance. I am a 10 handicap and am left
handed. I play a slight fade. |

"The answer to who has the best driver is simple. The driver that
fits you best, meaning that depending on how your ball flies and how you
swing a given driver will be best for you. My recommendation is to see a
PGA professional and take a lesson with him. Tell him you are thinking of
getting a new driver and ask for his recommendation. He will give you good
advice. Not necessarily what you want to hear, but the facts to improve
your game and your driving of the ball. It will be money well
spent."

"Zack: There are a load of specifications that go into the make up of
a golf club. The one that fits your specs is the one for you. I am often
amazed at how golfers place more value upon cosmetics than its fit. Were I
to tell you to go out and buy a XXXXX, would you do it? I hope not. Turn
yourself over to
the person with all of the following credentials: PGA or LPGA, club
fitting expert, has several options for you to try out, and can address
the matter of spec determination. You want to be sure of these: shaft bend
point, shaft frequency, shaft length, grip size, face angle, lie angle,
loft. If these do not fit YOU then you have just brought into brand XXXXX.
Good luck." - Michael

"Opinions are like noses, most all of us have one. However, I
have found the Ping ISI Tec to be the most forgiving (yes, I am a PGA
Pro, but only get to play once every couple of weeks or so) and top
performing clubs ever in the golf industry. If you can write THAT check,
you can choose draw enhanced if you want to reduce your fade. A great
choice." - Kim

"Dear Zach: Call 18004454653 and ask
for the nearest Henry-Griffitts certified club fitter near you.
Henry-Griffitts is by far the most accurate club fitting system on the
market, and Henry-Griffitts club fitters are trained to help you
identify your most balanced swing motion while simultaneously fitting
you with equipment that will match and promote that swing motion.
They have several different driver heads and literally hundreds of
different component options to insure an accurate and precise fit.
Couple that with the tightest quality control standards for
manufacturing in the industry, and you simply can't to wrong." - Kris
