Looks like a solid swing...what kind of driver do you use
Still hitting an old TaylorMade R580. Bought it right before the R580XD came out, then the big breakthrough started with the dual beta titanium faces, the moveable weights, etc. I went to the course and demo'd a new MacGregor Mac Tec NVG today (I have a bunch of pro-shop credit from some tournaments...so I was thinking of picking one up...the guy I played with last weekend was flying this thing 330 - all carry - but he was also 6'2" and 255 and a college tight end). Didn't like it though. The only demo club they had was an 8.5 degree loft with what felt like an extra stiff shaft, which basically gives no 'kick' when you swing, and when you couple that with the fact that the club produces low spin rates, it feels like you are firing knuckleballs off the clubface.
So, I will stick with the R580 for now. I can still hit it 300+ if pretty easily if I smoke it, and average 275-285 when I am just playing my natural fade.
I am hitting the Titleist 704 CB irons right now...forged, a nice compromise between blades and cavity backs. Workable, but forgiving. I hit a nice high fade with those too. Hit my 4 iron as high as my 9 iron. Love that, because I can land my long irons on the green soft.
But that is probably way more info than you cared to hear. What the hell..I play Titleist Pro V1X golf balls. Never use the regular Pro V1's because I put too much spin on the ball with them.
BTW - you can get those R580s for under 200 bucks now brand new. But don't stick with the factory shaft. I hated the way they were tipped - too whippy - so I have a Grafaloy Pro-Lite S flex.
