Then a rescue which missed the green by about...

I'll echo the try before you buy comments. For me, It wouldn't matter a great deal what head was on the end of the club... ok, some look better than others and looking good to your eye is important. I too tried a friends new G5 on one hole - didn't just put it in the rough.. not even in the lake beside the rough but over the lake onto the other fairway... missing the middle of the target fairway by 90+ yards! With a suitable...

Hi, Zak. My advice would be to get rid of the driver you have. If, like myself, your driving is a bit erratic, I'd strongly recommend that you don't touch anything below 10.5 deg loft. Ping and Callaway do a good range of drivers up to about 15 deg. Ping G10's (recently replaced by the G15) are for sale new in Cork for around €199. But I think you should look at second hand drivers on ebay, especially British sellers....
