The last two rounds have been a dumpster fire though. 92 and 99. I was so frustrated today I started hitting 3W off the tee regardless of the length of the hole. Started to play a bit better.

Anyone ever thought of benching the driver for good?
Before I had a TEE, I never had a three wood I hit well enough for it to be an option, save for when I was younger and a complete hacker and hit a Yonex 4 wood off of almost every tee.

I probably shouldn't hit a driver at the course where I play, simply because it only gets me into trouble. On a 370 yard Par 4, what's the difference between hitting a pitching wedge or lob wedge?

Two questions: 1) what is your driver, and 2) what is your issue with it off the tee?

Also, if you've only broken 90 nine times this year, a 92 isn't necessarily a dumpster fire, even though it is infuriating.

Shit, I've gone 38-48 so many times I should file for a patent on it.

My first thought is that you should track down a thriver, like the old Hi-Bore that was 13-15* or the Cobra Long Tom and change the shaft out in the POS.

Also, since you aren't the tallest guy in the world (no offense intended), maybe just put a 43" shaft in your driver.
