I recently broke my snake eyes titanium driver shaft right at the hausel, the club head is in pretty good shape still.
So should I get a new shaft for the head, or get a new driver?
I myself am leaning towards a driver, but I would like to hear some others input.
If you hit your old driver good, then I suggest you get a new shaft. Test try 2 or 3 new drivers you might be considering at a driving range, and see how they compare to your old driver's distance, accuracy and consistancey in hitting the ball good. I tried out many new 460cc drivers before I found a driver that I hit better than my old driver.
If you decide on a new shaft then get fitted for the proper shaft in your old driver. The shaft makes a lot of difference in performance.
I think that if I put a decent shaft on it, it would definitely be a better club. Maybe an Aldila .
I have tried the Hi-Bore XL out and really dig that, but don't want to splurge that much on a club, so if I get a new driver it would probaly be the regular Hi-bore. Or maybe even the Launcher
SuperSlice; What Snakeeyes driver do you have? That would be important in whether you should re-shaft it or get a new one. You say you like the Hi-Bore XL, but the price is too high. Check out the Goflsmith SR460. I've got one and it's half way between the Hi-Bore and the XL in size. I just did a test of it for another forum, and I hit the longest drive in the test of 4 drivers with the SR460. Well worth checking out. Golfsmith has it on sale right now, so the time is right if you decide on a new driver. Let me know what head you have now, and the loft.

It is a Snake Eyes Viper Ti Steel 10.5 , Tour Alloy 275
Try the SR4460 driver at Golfsmith. I think you'll like it about the same as the HiBore, and it's on sale now for less the $80 for the head. Teh reason I asked what drive it was, is that I have a SnakeEyes 600TC driver, and it's a great driver also.
