Which Driver? TM R7 460, Nike Sasquatch or Callaway X 460?
I'm deciding between these three clubs for my new driver, anybody have any opinions?
I can get them all for about the same price on Ebay, so price is not really an issue.

Personally i dont like the SQ or X460. I would go with the R7.

Try to pick a head that looks good at address, then if popssible hit this head with 4 or 5 different shaft combinations. You will be amazed at the different results

I have the SQ and it certainly is an easy club to hit... but the stock shaft is plain rotten and I am constantly left with fantastic looking shots which just dont go as far as they should.
Im liking taylormade at the moment... but honestly it doesnt matter which one you get unless you get a shaft which fits your swing.

Tried all three. The R7 460 worked better for me by far.

Depends on YOUR swing & preferences. Go to a store, swing a bunch of different drivers w/different shafts, then head to eBay.

Hit them all in my opinion and find one YOU like.
That said...I tested the SQ and X460 and liked them both. Went with the SQ since the shots were going further on mishits. I reshafted the SQ and thing is just a beast off the tee for me now. Can't wait for the SUMO.

i would say X460 if you want to straighten up a slice a little bit because of a closed face but if youre a consistent 80/90 shooter than go with teh R7

Thanks for all the suggestions. All of the 460's were just too big at address, felt like swinging a dinner plate on a stick.
I ended up going with the TM R7 QUAD, stiff graphite 8.5*.
Golfsmith had them on special for $199.00 new, couldn't pass up the price.

Yep. Brand spanking new,marked down from $500.00 for year end clearance.
Took it to the range, it's a monster. Has a loud booming sound when you hit it.
Very cool.
