Edit: Here is teh review of TM SuperTri
http://thehackersparadise.com/home/?p=9041
Over the last 18 months I have tested and used just about every new driver that has come out on the market. With no exceptions, I always went back to my original R9 driver. From the minute I tried it out, it was in my bag (Dec 2008) and I have never even thought of switching.
After this year's DSO (Driver Shoot Out), 2 drivers stuck out to me and those were the Ping G15 and the Diablo Edge. Both of which finished 1 & 2 by the testers and during my testing were both outstanding drivers. I tested both and liked them very much. Good solid clubs that provide excellent distance, feel, and forgiveness.
After doing some shaft testings, I found a shaft for my game that works perfectly in just about every driver I tried it in and that was the Miyazaki Blue. I like the black a lot as well, but the blue just gives me a little more height which I like. Still mid-launch, but a little higher than the black.
At the THP FL Golf Outing, I got a chance to hit the Diablo Edge with the very shaft I love thanks to OEM Kevin and fell in love. It feels great, forgiving, and quite long. Thanks to Kevin for making a trade with me and putting this driver in my hands. However I still felt as though I was leaving a few yards out on the course with the Diablo Edge. I compared it to the G15 and the Callaway was about 5 yards longer for me, so that was good. Then I compared it with my old R9 and once again the Callaway was about 5 yards longer. All was good and then I started tested another driver for review.
I grabbed the Taylormade SuperTri (I had previously hit it a few times) and put my Miyazaki Blue shaft in it and went to the range. The monitor does not lie. I am getting 5-7 yards on average more than the Callaway and I am not sacrificing any feel or forgiveness in my opinion. Took them both out on the course this afternoon and on #17 which is a straight par 4, just hit 10 balls with each driver (Diablo Edge & SuperTri). Both are incredibly forgiving and the dispersion was darn close, but the distance was noticably longer on almost every drive.
So for now, the Taylormade SuperTri is in the bag and the Callaway Diablo Edge that is shafted up with the amazing Miyazaki Blue shaft is on the bench. To me there are few drivers out there that look as good as this one and now that I am reviewing it and seeing the performance first hand, I cannot stay away.
The original R9 was in my bag for a long time (close to 18 months), and when I finally changed I thought it would be for another 18 months. The Diablo Edge just did not make the cut for me compared to the SuperTri. It is a great driver, but the numbers for my swing show that the SuperTri belongs in the bag. Both are great drivers, but the Taylormade won out for me.
