Ah,,, a TaylorMade driver man !!!!! All nice drivers there,, !!!! Hope ya find the shaft that ya want when ya get it repaired.

Great golf my man,,,, !!! Keep it going next year !!

<<Same question,,,, How many do you own and how many do you really "Play" ?????>>

Oh my! Let's see now ..........

A 70s vintage TM Burner - one of the 1st with a graphite shaft. Head looks more like a modern 5 wood!
A TM Burner Bubble 9.5* reg shaft.
A TM Fire Sole 9.5* reg shaft .
A Wilson Fat Boy (What the heck, I was driving TERRIBLY but it has a UST ProForce 65 shaft and it was only $60.)
And my current weapon - a TM r5, 10.5*, stock TM stiff shaft. Most consistent driver I've ever hit. There are newer ones out there but this one just seems to work for me so I'm stickin' with it - for now.

Also have a couple of vintage drivers - my late Father-in-law's Tonny Penna "Original" persimmon and, my last wooden driver - a Powerbuilt persimmon with a red face insert and the 3 brass "firing pins" laterally across the insert.

Oh, and BTW - I have the rest of my Father-in-law's set, too. Tonny Penna "Original" 3W and 5W and blades, 2-SW, with the reverse muscle back (the thicker part is at the top - like two thin triangles stacked on top of one another)

Played today, first time in about three weeks, still a little chilly, but did get out. Was not too over thrilled with the L4V, but took it as a "get to know you" round. Hit a couple good ones, but a couple stinkers as well. The sound of the club is much different. The larger/deeper head gives me the visual impression of a shorter shaft, but I'm sure that's in my mind only.

I think I only hit the sweet spot once and that was a good one, but into the wind, so really could not judge distance. I think it will be alright, just need to play a few more rounds with it. As I have said many times before, I'm sure it is NOT the bow or the arrow, but instead the Indian!

It was great fun to get out and play!

Glad ya got out and had a chance to play !!!! The wind here was brutal,,, !!!

"I'm sure it is NOT the bow or the arrow, but instead the Indian!"

Well, ya cant be to hard on yourself. It was your first time out with the driver and you know that it will take some time to work it in !!!! Hang in there I am sure the "Indian" will work this out !!!!

We finished up just as the wind was really kicking up. I've found the older I get it seems that every shot is going into the wind when it is blowing!!!

Well,,, I cant argue that point !!! Seem to have found the same here !!!!!

And usually it is blowing near gale force!!!

That seems to go hand in hand,,,,, cant ever catch a break !!!!
