I’ve been playing a Makser AS440 for the past couple of years and it’s the only driver I’ve ever hit consistently straight. My friend Tom recently bought one of the new Ping Raptures and now instead of out driving him by 30-40 yards, he is sticking right with me or bombing it longer. I’d really hate to give up my driver, but at the same time if I don’t test out some of the new drivers I think I’m costing myself distance which equates to strokes. So I’m asking your advice…

What type of driver do you play? How big is it? When did you switch? How happy are you with the results?

I’ve been reading a lot about some of the goofy looking drivers in Golf Digest and if I’m going to make a switch, I’d much rather do it at the beginning of the golf season than in the middle.
