R5 Type D driver
6 of 7 found this helpful Let me start with some background - I am 22 and have been playing for about 8 years on and off, probably have played maybe 30-50 rounds in my lifetime so I am by no means a constant player
I have been looking into improving my golf game so i picked up a new set of irons - I have always been pretty decent with them so that only shaved a few strokes off my game
My biggest problem is my high irons - I can only hit a 3/4 iron about 150-175 yards off a tee and it leaves me at a big disadvantage on every hole
I am a BIG slicer whenever I broke out my driver - I can hit it well but will end up on the next fairway or water every time I hit it. That lead me to just put the driver down and sacrifice the distance by taking something easier to hit to the tee box.
Finally a coworker was talking about how he loved his new taylormade set he just purchased. I went to ebay and the internet and stumbled across the R5 Dual Type D driver. I didn't know what to think of it so after reading the reviews on here as well as other forums I decided to drop the 80 bucks on a good but used club. This can be found new for like $130 at Dick's or Sports Authority but I figured if it didn't work out I could probably get back what I paid for it.
The driver came yesterday and I went straight to the driving range after work. I brought only the driver as I wanted to focus on that and bought a small bucket.
The first 2 balls came off the club well but sliced - I immediately got a little discouraged but they definitely did not slice as much as before. For my third shot I played my hands a little forward of the clubhead and that let the face come across the ball more square than it had been. That shot went 220 yards straight down the middle.
From my experience this club is a godsend. I was able to hit the rest of the bucket and probably 6-8 out of 10 balls were right where I intended them to be. Some of the shots came off drawing but due to my slicing tendencies it ended up playing a real nice left to right shot. Most shots traveled down the middle and easily past 200 yards (and up to 250) which in my 8 years of golf have never been able to do. I am happy now to say the least and cannot wait to hit this club on a course.
For someone who slices to the point where you rarely break out your big daddy driver you need to get this club. The impacts on your game will be amazing. Just think about having to hit a 9/PW instead of a 6 or 7 on your second shot. That's what I got this club for, and thus far it has delivered everything I had hoped it would.
