A good driver is considered by many to be the most important club in the bag. Other thana putter, your driver is the next most used golf club during your round. Most courses have at least 13 holes where you will be able to use your driver. Driving in the fairway sets you up to make a good score.
Therefore it’s important to make sure that your driver deliver. Buying a great driver doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You can get a great driver for a lot less than you think.
Golf Digest comes out with its equipment issue each winter and for the last several years, Ping drivers have been the hottest drivers in golf. The Ping G10 driver was the top driver for two years running until it got knocked off its perch in 2010. But it was only knocked off by its progeny – the Ping G15 driver.
If you have money to spare, it’s worth every penny to go out and buy a new Ping G15 driver. But most of us average goflers are looking to save money wherever we can.
There are basically two ways to get a great driver while saving money. Buy a used driver, or buy a knockoff driver.
If you decide to buy a used driver, I would not suggest using eBay unless you are really savvy. You can find some great values at the big electronic auction house, but you can also get taken to the cleaner. And most of the clubs sold by individuals online aren’t certifed or tested.
So if you do buy used, go with a reputable source that sells certified preowned golf clubs that have been graded and tested. In addition to the Ping drivers, there are lso other highly rated and popular drivers. Here is a great list where you can find a second-hand Taylormade driver for a great price.
You should be able to pick up a used Ping G10 driver or used TaylorMade R9 driver for about 50% off the orignal price.
The second option is to get a Ping G15 driver clone. Don’t be fooled by lookalikes. You want a quality club that also has new technology built into it. The best site to find quality like that is with Gigagolf. They sell new driver that uses the same kind of underlying clubhead technologies that make the Ping G15 the most forgiving driver in golf. The new Verve Ti Driver has variable face thickness, aerodynamic design and a lower center of gravity that makes it easy to hit the ball high and straight off the tee.
Playing golf can be fun. Playing good golf is really fun. Have the best time of your life playng golf by getting a great dirver. Don’t get caught hitting an inferior driver just because you can’t afford a new, name-brand driver. Buying preowned or direct from the manufacturer will get you a great driver and save a lot of money at the same time.
