Driver recommendations?

Posted by: user329702 | Thu 19th Aug 2010 09:49 | Last Reply
 <p>Being fairly new to golf (3 months and counting) I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a no1 wood as my current one came with the set my wife bought for me and I struggle to get any loft with it.</p> <p>Everyone, well almost as the pro I have had some lessons off reckons I should stick to a 3 wood then move to the BIG one, seems to point out the a 10 degree loft is too shallow for me and I do not have enough experience to decide if I should go for 13 degree or 11 degree loft?</p> <p><br /><br /> </p> <p>Any recommendations from some old hands would be welcome.  </p>

The more loft the better, Peter.

There is another bit of advice...Tee it high 4 inches or so,and try to feel as if you are hitting the ball up its arse (so to speak) on the upswing. that should get it higher and straighter. I know a lot of "experts" are against them but you could try an offset driver as thay are easier to use.

I would heed your pro's advice and stay away trom the driver until you get a better swing, I bought a deeper faced 3 wood to use from the tee, it went further than my badly struck driver did back then but Iv'e learnt to hit a driver now. You really don't need a driver yet, trust your pro...
