Help me pick my driver 2025

Lumberjack627 · April 3

Hello fellow wrx members. I’m trying to decide my driver for 2025 season and hopefully beyond. I understand that it’s up to me and what I like the look and feel of, but based on the data provided what do you think is best?
I am a normal golfer, not a wrx pro that swings 115 mph and carries 300. My spin is always high and yes I have tried low spin models but honestly I play my game how I know it and am happy with it. Driving is the worst part of my game as my handicap is around 12-14. Short game and putting is where I make up my stokes.
Thanks for taking a look and any and all comments and advice are welcome.

Photos do not include the club as I know some people are loyal to one brand or the other.

I think you could take your pick and be fine with any the data is so close. I know you said you want to play your game but goodness this would be such an easy fix with an instructor that even half knows what they’re doing. Buying a new driver when you’re leaving like 30 yards of carry distance on the table seems like a less than optimal choice. You do you but I’d spend half that on some Skillest lessons with someone that knows what’s up and the other half on a new old stock driver that will keep up with any of those

I honestly should get lessons and no excuse not to but the little time I have I like to get out and just play and enjoy with my buddy’s

If its me, I'm taking the yellow one and calling it good.

Orange for sure. It gives the most distance and lower spin on a sweeping strike. Not to mention a tighter dispersion.

As the swing gets better, all three would see "better" results. It looks like orange handles the mishits the best while you get there.

Funny thing is the orange one is with a standard shaft. The other 2 were ventus

Ha! I'm in the same boat. I literally just played with my stock Tensei Blue AV last week and it played great.

An argument could be made for any of them. You got less out of blue and purple, but you also spun them more. Lofted down, probably similar results. Purple gave you best front to back dispersion and consistency. Exclude the two you sent out left with blue and that’s your tightest horizontal, plus it’s the only one without a canceled shot. Orange is best in general but also has the biggest variance in spin. I would just pick whichever one you liked the most.

Based on consistency of launch angle, purple wins by a landslide. And it is equal to the orange in the other categories. If you can get your club path square, You’ll also bring that spin way down and that’ll help a ton.

So orange is qi35 core

purple ping g440

blue callaway elyte

I would lean the Purple mostly the dispersion from long to short is tighter compared to orange. The left/right dispersion look comparable. More consistent spin rate with purple when looking at the consistency.
